Supporting the Front Lines — $FRENS Team Battle’s Rule

  1. After 3/22, each transaction of Smart Frens and $FRENS Item, both the buyer and the seller will earn scores. The scores earned will be calculated differently due to item boosts. Please refer to the information below 👇
  2. Scoring Formula (All times are in GMT+8)

Score = Volume Score * Item Boost

Definition of Terms:

  • Volume Score = Smart Frens NFT transaction volume + $FRENS item NFT transaction volume.
    Note that the scores for buying transactions are greater than selling, and trading Smart Frens NFT still has a rarity bonus, sorted as “Epic > Rare > Common”.
  • Item Scores = Correct Item Holding Rate * Number of Correct Items.
  • Correct Item Holding Rate = Number of Correct Items / Total Number of Held Items.

Item Boost is Critical!

How Item Boost is Calculated:

“Item Scores” of all contestants are used for ranking to produce a percentile rank (PR) list.

Based on the below percentile rank (PR) value boost list, the Item Boost multiplier for each contestant is determined.

PR value boost list

Score Example

Here’s an example with two users, each having a transaction volume of 100. Smart Guy actively buys items from his own team and sells items not from his team, while Silly Guy doesn’t specifically trade and holds many items not from his team, resulting in a significant difference in their final scores.

Note: The team leaderboard is expected to go live on April 8th.

Example 1 — Smart Guy

As shown in the image:
Smart Guy is assigned to the purple team (Freedom).
He owns a total of 100 $FRENS Items (Hold Amount), 90 of which are items from his own purple team (Team Hold).
Therefore, his Item Score is calculated as follows:
Correct Item Holding Rate (90/100) * 90 (Number of Correct Items) = 81.

An Item Score of 81 ranks between 65 ~ 94 among all participants, so according to the PR list provided above, the Item Boost is 2.5x.

Score = Volume Score 100 * Item Boost 2.5 👉 Results in a total of 250 scores.

Example 2 — Silly Guy

Silly Guy is also assigned to the purple team (Freedom).
He owns a total of 100 $FRENS Items (Hold Amount), but only 5 of them are from his own team (Team Hold).
Therefore, his Item Score is calculated as follows: Correct Item Holding Rate (5/100) * 5 (Number of Correct Items) = 0.25.

An Item Score of 0.25 ranks between 1 ~ 4 among all participants, so according to the PR list provided above, the Item Boost is 0.1x (which will significantly reduce the score).

Score = Transaction Volume (Volume Score) 100 * Item Boost 0.1 👉 Results in a total of 10 scores.

From these two examples, we hope all participants can understand our scoring system and use it to strategize and make smart decisions!

⚠ Warning

Wash trading and self-dealing to manipulate points are strictly prohibited.
If suspicious activity is detected by the system, after review, we will reset all scores for the involved account to zero, and it will not receive any $MNT reward!!!
