Provably Fair Loot Boxes

Each CG Loot Box is deployed as an independent proxy contract via the LYNC Loot Box Creator contract. By staking additional tokens for extended periods, users can earn higher-tier Loot Boxes.

To ensure fair randomness of Loot Box rewards, we have integrated the Supra random number generation (RNG) service. This architecture enables flexible prize configurations while minimizing the costs associated with generating new Loot Boxes. 

Historically, many companies have employed misleading marketing tactics that create the illusion of increased chances for acquiring rare items, ultimately to the detriment of players. To address this issue, CG Loot Boxes will feature public probability disclosures, enhancing transparency regarding the drop rates of different items. Looking ahead, we will enable community voting, empowering token holders to influence the contents of Loot Boxes.

The CGX ecosystem fosters value-sharing among players, tournament organizers, spectators, and stakers. Through use of the CGX token, the system balances player rewards and protocol revenue, ensuring sustainability and longevity while providing numerous opportunities for player progression and rewards.
