How are $SHARDS awarded?

****We want to be intentional in how tokens are generated in our ecosystem, rewarding positive behaviors that will grow the Heroic Story ecosystem. Here are some of the primary ways to earn:

• 1**) Feedback**

As we continue to grow our community and game, we want to conduct user interviews and would love feedback on how we can create a better product. $SHARDS will be rewarded for your insights.

• 2**) Contributions / Commissions**

On a regular cadence, there will be opportunities for community members to produce artwork, lore, or provide other services that grow the infrastructure of the game. These commissions will be rewarded in $SHARDS.

• 3**) Sharing / Signal Boosting**

In addition to commissions, we may request players to signal boost our posts, whether on Twitter, Telegram, Discord, or another social media platform. Once in a while, we will offer Proof of Attendance [PoA] incentives for people to attend our Twitter Spaces, Twitch Streams, or other activities to spectate.

How can I spend $SHARDS?

$SHARDS can be used to purchase anything your heart desires. Our plan is to provide something for every type of roleplaying gamer or fan.
