# Concept **Welcome to The Gainlings** The Gainlings is a PvP NFT strategy game where players (18+) can participate by minting one or more Gainlings (unique characters/tokens), with a maximum of 25 per wallet. Each week, a new season begins, ensuring a fresh start and a level playing field for all participants. After minting, the battle phase begins. Each Gainling enters a cooldown period based on its Weight and Trophy stats. Once the cooldown ends, Gainlings can challenge an opponent to combat. Battles combine both strategy and randomness, with a blockchain-generated number determining the outcome. **Battle Outcome:** The winner receives the loser's bounty: 50% is added to their own bounty, and 50% is transferred to their personal stack. The loser's token is burned, and any stack is transferred directly to the owner's wallet. Victories earn Trophies, which increase a Gainling's luck factor for future battles and reduce cooldown time by 2% per Trophy, enabling quicker returns to action. **Earning Points:** 1 mint = 5 points 1 attack = 8 points Once a player accumulates 100 points, they can mint a Skin NFT. Skins are season-independent, tradable, and can replace Trophies in battle, adding a layer of customization to the game. All battles take place on our custom-designed Battlefield – a live, interactive hub where Gainlings can engage in combat and be openly traded. The in-game marketplace allows players to trade, strategize, and adjust tactics in real-time based on the dynamics of the ongoing game. The season ends when only one Gainling remains. This final token must self-destruct to claim its final stack, leaving no tokens behind. {% embed url="" %} --- # 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.
