MOON Season 1 Rewards Announcement
The MOON team has been learning continuously since the game's launch. We've been taking the time to carefully consider the details of how End-of-Season Rewards should be distributed. As a few player approaches the game-winning event (Gravitron research), we would like to announce these details now so that players have time to adjust their strategies, if necessary.
Firstly, we want to assure everyone once again that Universe 1 of the game will not "end". It will continue to play and operate exactly as before.
To confirm previous statements, 50% of all deposits will be allocated to the End-of-Season Reward Pool, which will be distributed upon reaching the win condition. It's already a lot of $PIZZA!

The other 50% of deposits aim to offset development and server costs, as well as other incidentals, including game promotion. Our medium- and long-term goal is to onboard new gamers to the Hive ecosystem and, over time, convert them into loyal Hivers.
Rewards act as a feedback mechanism. The primary goal is to make the players feel part of the process and reinforce that they did not waste their time by playing.
What do we hope you do with the rewards?
Of course, you can do what you please with your earned tokens; they are yours! Consider staking some tokens to gain rank in the Pizza Guild, spending them in-game, or even saving some tokens to "spend" in Season 2 towards Officers and temporary buffs.
We hope you have enjoyed playing in Season 1 and look forward to seeing you in Season 2. And if you do stick around, you probably want some Pizzabits to spend and boost those numbers.
There are also various perks for staking PIZZA tokens, including on-chain tips and community ranking. And we're discussing new features that incorporate token staking into the game. Staking is not permanent, and you can later choose to unstake any tokens at any time.
End of Season Rewards Distribution
The intent is to reward as many different playstyles as possible—offensive, defensive, research-focused, mining-focused, and so on.
The total end-of-season rewards pool will be distributed in the following way:
- 10% Next season reward pool warmer
- 20% Season winner - first to unlock Gravitron 1 tech
- 20% Records holders (ignoring officers) - (Records page)
- 19 different buildings
- 19 different research technologies
- 14 different fleet units
- 10 different defense units
- 10% Hall of Fame Top 100 (attacker and defender 50% split)
- 10% Top Research 100 (Statistics page)
- 10% Top Fleet 100 (Statistics page)
- 10% Top Defense 100 (Statistics page)
- 10% Top Building 100 (Statistics page)
Q: Which players will receive EOS rewards?
By design, many players who contributed to the rewards pool will receive rewards; however, all players of the game, including Free2Play players, have and will be able to achieve rewards. One player can be rewarded in multiple categories.
Q: What if 2+ players hold the same record?
Rewards for that record (i.e., most Missile Launchers) will be split among all players who hold that record. The website only shows up to 3. We will use backend data to determine which players hold each record, and the list may not match the three shown on the website Records page.
Q: How do you distribute to Top 100 leaderboards?
We have chosen a reverse-rank, linear distribution method for the top 100 in each of these lists. The sum of the ranks creates 5050 "buckets"; first place will receive 100 buckets, while 100th place will receive one bucket.
Q: When is the scoreboard snapshot taken?
To calculate the distribution, we'll attempt to capture a snapshot of the game state as close to the game-winning trigger as possible. The season ends when the first player unlocks technology called Graviton Research 1.
Q: What do I need to do to be eligible for rewards?
- Play the game
- Link a Hive account to a game account
- Rank in one or more of the above categories
That's all there is to it! If you haven't logged in for a while, check your planet; it might be full of resources!
See Also: On-chain rewardification
Our on-chain rewardification will remain in effect on @moon.records; certain notifications are already generating beneficiary comments, including those in the Hall of Fame. You can reward both the attacker and defender by upvoting the comment. This functionality is still in live testing and will remain live until further notice.
In conclusion, stay safe out there, Emperors, protect your fleets, and as always - have FUN!

Eager to find out what are the rules for season 2 :D its was fun and served as a good recalling about many things I didn't even recall :P
By the way, I am assuming all universes will be reset, right?... so it will be good to tell people that its the case. Just in case people keep playing thinking its all going to be valid for season 2. Or will it BE VALID? 😱 THAT WOULD BE SICK!!! - but probably hard to find a fair winning objective.
Another question I have... what will happen to the users that are inactive on the season 2... are their planets going to still appear? Or they need to log in first so they first planet appears? (This can be answered when you prepare to open up for S2).
Thanks for the feedback and questions! A blog post is needed, and it’s coming.
!LUV this share and looking forward to playing alone for a long time.
Keep up the great work.
Getting rewarded to learn and earn, what more could one want? !LOLZ

@ecoinstant Thank you for the upvote. Much appreciated.
Did you notice the wording...
At the time, my mind was thinking "along" and not "alone" and now I realize once again, my fingers were tapping a much deeper spiritual message.
This sounds awesome!
Can I request for a future season one more reward category? Reserve 5% to reward all players proportionately thusly:
Total resources accumulated (including spent and unspent) from all sources (including buildings, recycling, offensive fleet actions and any other sources) on all holdings (including colonies and main planets).
Then award a portion of that 5% in a distribution to all players from 1st place through X.
You can use the equation 1/2^n (where n is their ranking for resource accumulation) to determine what portion of this 5% goes to each ranking.
Sure, some players could probably figure out ways to game this for a higher ranking. I think don't worry about that, and make the reward small enough it's not worth it.
The reasoning for this added reward category is that, knowing I'm never going to be in the top 100 or hold a record, there's little reason for me to try a little harder to move from, say, position 3051 to 3011. But if it's the difference between $0.000145 to $0.000155, well, there's some acknowledgement that something happened and I can get myself to log in that one night I'd otherwise miss. I like those little financial nothings that still serve as mental boosts.
This is really an awesome one that will attract so many attention to the game.
Thanks for sharing the split between different categories!
Do you plan a Season 2? If so, it would be nice to have the allocation before the start of the season.

We think we would do this, but there may be a "post-season" challenge or two in this universe first!
that is actually the first time I see well designed game-tokenomics!
this will very likely by the first step stone to huge and long lasting success -
and the player base consists of players and not yield farmers... very very well done...
the only thing that could be added for the benefit of pizza token holders: 5% of token income going to burn.. but not more...
please everybody who is about to start / build a new hive game: take this as a blueprint!
Let's have fun til long after the graviton !

I'll never see the moon the same way again when I gaze up at the night sky. From now on, I'll look up with pizza on my mind - hopefully with a slice in my hand. Congratulations everyone, especially to the creators and devs of this wonderful game. !PIZZA
I enjoy playing Hive games, especially if it's play to earn. Not sure I'll earn here as in half way down the leader board. Still learning.
Season 2 presents new opportunities!
Ohh there is reward!!?? I am lost so whatever it is, it is a good work from the dev guys! Thanks for your hardwork
