1. TL;DR

This proposal requests the whitelisting of BFB to Initia’s VIP (Vested Interest Program).

2. Background

2-1 About the Project

  • Protocol Name: Battle for Blockchain
  • Protocol Blurb: BFB is a fully onchain strategy game with stakes
  • Protocol Type: Gaming
  • Docs: https://docs.battleforblockchain.com
  • Audits: N/A

3. Rationale & Impact

  • Motivation and benefit to the Interwoven Economy:

    • Battle for Blockchain is a fully onchain strategy game that blends the tactical depth of Teamfight Tactics with the empire-building of Total War. Command your forces, purchase units and upgrade your kingdom with $BFB tokens during intense weekly wars.
    • Each war, all $BFB tokens spent by the players are combined in 2 massive token pools. If your kingdom wins the war, you get all your $BFB tokens spent back and more. You can track your PnL and ROI in real-time for both scenarios: winning and losing the war.
    • Our economic model provides unique financial and entertainment values to Initia’s users.

  • VIP Scoring Criteria (Details):

    • For VIP rewards program, the KPI we track is net profit earned in $BFB tokens through war participation.

    • When a war ends, we compute rewards using the getWarRewardsToClaim function. The player’s total gold reward depends on:

      • Player’s gold contribution vs kingdom treasury size (higher commitment = higher potential rewards)
      • Units placed vs units bought (efficient unit management = better rewards, discourages manipulation)
      • Enemy treasury size (defines the potential reward pool)
      • Victory points earned by winning kingdom in siege mode (determines % of enemy treasury distributed; ranges from 20% to 50%)
      • Siege pool bonus based on gold spent in the previous war’s siege phase

    • Reward formula if the player won:

      (playerGoldContributed / kingdomGold) * (playerUnitsPlaced / playerUnitsBought) * 
(enemyTreasure * ((20 + siegeBonus) / 100) + siegePool) + playerGoldContributed

    • Reward formula if the player lost:

      playerGoldContributed * (80 - siegeBonus) / 100

    • Note: If a player’s profit is negative (i.e., they incurred a loss), no VIP score is awarded, but no points are deducted either. Only positive net profit counts toward VIP rewards.

4. Proposal Details

Field Value Description
Operator Address init18gj5t8fu5fwt5pt562wzfe689thtfzx3jknze3 The address eligible to claim a portion of the VIP rewards allocated to the rollup team as commission. This address does not need to be a system key (like admin or bridge executor).
Bridge ID 28 An identifier automatically generated during the setup of the bridge between the Rollup and Initia.
Bridge Address init1w0sptzpe2euqhrl0tmw292a3hst0ccayzgh7qf3hdy49ln6kwjdsdcdn57 The L1 address where tokens are locked when bridging from L1 to L2. This address is auto-generated during bridge setup.
Scoring Contract Address 0x2BD6554950cfcE3eEA8a4264Cc6cd458D44bB08E The contract deployed on the rollup that assigns VIP scores to users. These scores are snapshotted on L1 and used to build a Merkle tree for VIP reward distribution.
Operator Commission Max Rate 0.1 The maximum commission rate the rollup can configure.
Operator Commission Max Change 0.05 The maximum allowed change in the commission rate per update. For example, if OCR is 0.3 and OCMC is 0.2, OCR can only be adjusted between 0.1 and 0.5.
Operator Commission Rate 0.05 The actual commission rate. If 100 INIT is distributed and OCR is 0.2, the rollup team receives 20 INIT.
VM EVM The VM type of the rollup is using.

Proposed changes to the VIP scoring

We were assigning VIP scoring in BFB based on how much profit you made in “war” (approximately every 7 days). We’ve found this mechanism potentially frustrating for players because when they lose a few wars in a row, they don’t generate profits, and thus they don’t earn VIP scoring. Their VIP activity remains zero, damaging their previous allocations.

We’ve also realized that war rewards in BFB, through the PnL system, are sufficient to incentivize players to win wars. Instead, we believe VIP rewards should be allocated to the most active players, regardless of whether they won or lost the war.

Going forward, we will be changing our VIP scoring to a volume-based system. Here’s exactly what will be adjusted:

Previously:
1 VIP score per 1 BFB profit after war

After the update:
1 VIP score per 1 BFB claimed after war
(e.g. even when you’re losing a war—if your size was 1000 BFB and, say you took a 30% loss—you still receive 700 BFB tokens back and 700 VIP score.)
