Here’s what you need to know about the levels: *** ### **Paperhand Card**(Level 1)

* **Description:** The entry-level for all players, representing newcomers or those just starting their journey. * **Rewards:** No claimable rewards at this level—this phase is focused on experience-building. * **Claim Timer:** Shortest timer duration. * **Goal:** Gain experience and attempt to level up. *** ### **Sandhand Card**(Level 2)

* **Description:** A step above Paperhand, where players gain access to competitive in-game rewards. * **Rewards:** Small in-game rewards plus experience points (EXP). * **Claim Timer:** Slightly longer than Level 1. * **Distribution:** A large number of players are eligible for rewards, but at lower amounts compared to higher levels. *** ### **Steelhand Card**(Level 3)

* **Description:** A mark of true commitment—players here have successfully leveled up and gained experience. * **Rewards:** Mid-tier rewards and additional EXP. * **Claim Timer:** Longer than Level 2. * **Distribution:** Fewer players receive rewards compared to Level 2, creating increased competition. *** ### **Diamondhand Card**(Level 4)

* **Description:** The highest-level milestone—only the most strategic and persistent players reach this elite tier. * **Rewards:** The most exclusive in-game rewards, along with the ability to migrate Hand Cards for a recognition-based Ethereum NFT. * **Claim Timer:** Longest duration. * **Distribution:** The majority of high-level rewards are allocated to this pool, making it the most competitive. *** Climbing the Ranks * Higher levels provide access to a larger share of rewards. Diamondhand receives the most competitive opportunities, followed by Steelhand, then Sandhand. * Paperhand holders do not receive in-game claimable rewards but can gain experience points to progress. * As minting continues, rewards flow into the pools, maintaining a **dynamic and skill-driven competition system**. Manage risk, time your claims strategically, and aim for Diamondhand status for the most challenging and rewarding gameplay experience *** --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
