| The game fund |
|
|
In most conventional games, whenever a player spends money to buy in-game currency or virtual goods, that money goes directly to the developer without any further involvement or benefits for the player. However, CoinRepublik operates differently. When players spend money within CoinRepublik, those funds go into a central pool called the Game Fund. This unique structure allows for a more community-centered economy and ensures that players can benefit from the game's financial ecosystem. |

The Role of the Game Fund in CoinRepublik
The Game Fund is at the heart of CoinRepublik’s economy, supporting various in-game activities and providing gold for mining rewards. This fund is designed to function independently from the developer, as it only interacts with in-game currency and does not generate profits directly for the creators. Instead, the Game Fund has two main functions: accumulating income and distributing it to support the in-game economy.
The Game Fund has specific sources of income and controlled spending. The income comes from various in-game activities, including exchange taxes, fees for land purchases, premium citizen taxes, and public game share sales. When players engage in these activities, a percentage of the money spent goes directly into the Game Fund. Another significant income source is inactive accounts. If a player does not log in for 30 days, their account is marked inactive, and any gold held in that account is transferred to the Game Fund. This mechanism helps to recycle resources back into the economy, ensuring that the game’s wealth remains active and accessible to other players. |

Game Shares: Owning a Piece of CoinRepublik
To give players a chance to share in the game’s success, the Game Fund periodically issues Game Shares. These shares represent a small “piece” of CoinRepublik’s economy, allowing players to earn passive income. Owning Game Shares is beneficial because each share pays out 0.0001 gold per day. For example, if you own 100 Game Shares, you’ll receive a consistent income of 0.01 gold daily. This structure enables players to invest in the game’s economy and benefit from its growth over time. Game Shares can also be traded, giving players flexibility in how they manage their assets within CoinRepublik. |

Income Sources for the Game Fund
The Game Fund is sustained by multiple sources of income, which help keep the in-game economy balanced and rewarding:
Exchange Taxes: Every time players trade in the game’s exchange, a small tax is collected and added to the Game Fund.
Land Purchase Fees: When players buy land patches, part of the fee goes into the Game Fund.
Premium Citizen Taxes: Players who purchase premium citizen status contribute to the Game Fund through taxes.
Public Game Share Sales: Game Shares are occasionally sold by the Game Fund, and the revenue from these sales directly supports the economy.
These income streams help to ensure that the Game Fund remains well-resourced and capable of rewarding both miners and Game Shareholders. |

Expenditures of the Game Fund
The Game Fund’s spending is carefully regulated to maintain economic stability. Its only expenditures are:
Paying Miners: Players who engage in mining within CoinRepublik are rewarded with gold, which is distributed by the Game Fund.
Rewarding Game Shareholders: As mentioned, Game Shares pay out a daily income to shareholders, providing them with a steady source of gold in return for their investment in the game.
By restricting the Game Fund’s expenses to these two categories, CoinRepublik ensures that its economy remains focused on rewarding active participants and contributors to the game.

Benefits of the Game Fund for Players
The Game Fund structure offers several unique advantages for players. It guarantees that resources spent in the game are reinvested in ways that benefit the community. This structure fosters a sustainable in-game economy and provides multiple ways for players to earn rewards beyond traditional gameplay. Whether through mining, holding Game Shares, or trading, players have a vested interest in the game’s financial health.
In conclusion, CoinRepublik’s Game Fund creates a self-sustaining, player-centered economy. By pooling funds into this shared resource, players benefit from more than just one-time purchases; they gain opportunities for ongoing rewards, investment, and economic growth. This innovative system transforms in-game spending into a more interactive and beneficial experience for all participants.
