Leveling & EXP System
Your partners gain experience points (EXP) just by being in your portfolio. The longer you hold, the stronger they become!
The Mathโ
IdleTrencher uses a transparent, deterministic leveling formula:
EXP Calculationโ
Effective EXP = Hours Held + Bonus Hours
- Hours Held: Time since first wallet connection (1 hour = 1 EXP)
- Bonus Hours: Extra EXP from price increases (rewarding active market participation)
Level Formulaโ
Level = floor(sqrt(Hours / 2.433))
This creates a square-root progression โ early levels come quickly, while higher levels require exponentially more time.
Hours Required per Levelโ
| Level | Hours Required | Approximate Time |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 0 | Instant |
| 2 | 10 | ~10 hours |
| 5 | 61 | ~2.5 days |
| 10 | 243 | ~10 days |
| 20 | 973 | ~40 days |
| 30 | 2,189 | ~3 months |
| 40 | 3,893 | ~5.5 months |
| 50 | 6,083 | ~8.5 months |
| 60 | 8,759 | ~1 year (max) |
Inverse Formula (Hours from Level)โ
Hours = Levelยฒ ร 2.433
Level Milestonesโ
| Level | Time Required |
|---|---|
| Lv2 | ~10 hours |
| Lv10 | ~10 days |
| Lv20 | ~40 days |
| Lv30 | ~3 months |
| Lv60 | ~1 year (max) |
Bonus EXP Systemโ
Price increases grant bonus hours, rewarding holders who experience positive market movements:
- Bonus EXP accumulates when your token's price rises
- This creates a balanced strategy: steady holding for base growth, seizing price pumps for accelerated progress
EXP Reset
If a partner drops out of your top holdings, their EXP resets. This design encourages maintaining a balanced portfolio and consistent holding strategy.
Why This Design?โ
The square-root formula ensures:
- New players feel progress โ Lv2 in just 10 hours
- Long-term holders are rewarded โ Higher levels show true commitment
- Max level is achievable โ Lv60 in ~1 year is realistic
- Transparent & verifiable โ Anyone can calculate expected levels
The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single hour of holding. ๐ง
