# Key Participants and Their Roles **Investor**
* Invests USDT in crowdinvesting; if they do not already have it, they can acquire it through a third-party exchange service connected to the platform (CEX/DEX). * Upon successful funding, receives an NFT that confirms their share (or right to a portion of the revenue) in the future game. * Can request a partial refund if the developer fails to fulfill their obligations (project halt or failure). **Crowdinvesting Smart Contract**
* Accepts USDT from investors and locks it during the game development phase. * Releases funds (in full or part) as milestones are achieved. * Mints NFT tokens and sends them to investors’ wallet addresses. * Distributes funds to developers in tranches upon milestone completion (up to 95% of the total raised amount). * In case of failure, refunds the funds (or remaining balance) to investors and/or activates the insurance fund. **Game Developer**
* Receives USDT tokens in tranches as they meet milestones (95% of the collected investor funds). These can be sold (if needed) or staked. * Pays investors a predetermined share of the revenue (e.g., 20–30% of game sales), or provides investors with NFTs. * If they fail to meet obligations, fund transfers stop, and investors may be compensated through the insurance fund. **Payment Service**
* Accepts fiat currencies (USD, EUR, etc.) from players or popular cryptocurrencies (BTC, ETH) and converts them into USDT if needed. * Transfers funds to the platform's balance (centralized accounting system), where they are tracked and can be used by developers/players. * Processes purchases within the ecosystem, ensuring users can buy Nudix tokens or other in-game assets. **Credit Module**
* Developers can take USDT loans on the platform by providing Nudix tokens or Intellectual Property as collateral. * This is not a key feature at launch but can be expanded later as liquidity and demand grow. **Platform (Centralized Accounting System)**
* The core of the project, managing transactions, balances, withdrawal requests, and more. * Collects a 5% fee from crowdinvesting to fill the insurance fund. * Withdrawal requests are processed within 2–3 days. * Integrates with external payment services to convert fiat or crypto into desired assets. **SBT Game Minting Smart Contract**
* Issues SBT (Soulbound Token) on request (or automatically) for users: * Acts as a "key" to the game. * Confirms KYC completion or adult age verification. * Can also issue NFTs instead of SBT for limited editions with resale rights. **Player/User**
* May interact indirectly with Nudix tokens since games are purchased through payment services (fiat, BTC, etc.). * Receives SBT/NFT as proof of ownership or access to adult content. * Can request withdrawals for in-game earnings or referral income within 2–3 days. * May purchase Nudix tokens externally to become an investor or participate in additional activities (staking, lending). **Progressive Staking System**
* The platform features a staking system for Nudix token holders, offering progressive tier levels. * The longer and larger the staking commitment, the higher the user's status and rewards. * A portion of the tokens is removed from circulation due to staking, helping stabilize the token's price through constant demand. * Staking rewards are paid from special platform funds and may be adjusted based on market conditions. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
