Every reward has a route. Every route has a limit.

Choose a Commander. Build a team. Watch your strategy resolve. Stellarch is a collectible strategy game set in a dark space opera. Your lineup, card order, mana budget and the match rules shape the battle. The economy supports collecting and progression; it does not promise a paycheck.

Start by learning from the ghost draft catalog. Access to that pool is not ownership: signup does not mint Fighters. Owned copies can add collection options in supported formats, subject to the format's rules.

A source-catalog count, not live minted inventory. Eight affinities, fifteen races, sixty-six abilities and eighty-five rulesets are design and catalog counts, not financial metrics.

Four currencies do four jobs. SGC spends on products and player activity, STEL is the stake, KRED is purchased spending credit, and SIGIL is earned loyalty. Their boundaries are different, and none is a promise of cash.

SGC STEL KRED SIGIL

The wallet also tracks item-count tokens for packs, boosters and Caches. Four currencies does not mean the wallet has only four identifiers. Merit, Crown and Scrolls are separate game and guild progression balances, not a fifth named currency.

Rewards depend on the mode, your eligibility and the mechanism's availability. A win is not a fixed wage. Selling or renting an owned Fighter receives another player's funds; it does not create new currency.

Administrative locked STEL grants are an admin-only unbudgeted route, not a player-triggerable reward.

A native HIVE deposit creates SGC at the configured rate. Buying KRED purchases spending credit. Trading in a Fighter can grant inventory-backed KRED where enabled. None of these is gameplay income.

A Genesis pack opens into five cards. A Genesis Cache opens into one Fighter from a separate reward roster. Gladius belongs to guild progression. These are different items, with different transfer rules and limits.

Combine compatible copies to develop an owned Fighter. BCX tracks combined copies. Rating measures ladder performance; Collection Power measures owned-instance power. Neither is the same as wallet value. A maxed full set is not a prerequisite for playing.

Defaults, not live probabilities. Guarantee-slot values are weights, not probabilities summing exactly to one hundred. Up to five charges of each booster can be consumed per Genesis pack. A shard does not promise a Legendary.

Default regular-foil maximums. Gold and mythic foil use their own ladder; do not apply this table to every foil. Family caps and rulesets can limit the fielded level.

Spend to collect, progress or personalize. A shop purchase, a rental and a guild contribution have different destinations. Only a true sink retires a balance. The prices below are configured prices, not a live quote.

List an eligible owned Fighter, buy a listing, or place a standing bid with an expiry. A matching bid fills at the listing price, not necessarily the bid ceiling. Supported KRED bids and purchases use the separate settlement gate. Renting buys temporary use. Delegation lends use without transferring ownership; a borrower cannot resell or redelegate the borrowed instance. Separate switches govern sale, rental, delegation, trade and bid activity.

A source creates new supply. A transfer moves an existing balance. A true sink retires one. The game is not a closed autonomous system: product demand, operator action and chain infrastructure matter.

Native HIVE issuance sits outside the reward-print accounting, and ordinary transfers are zero because they are transfers. Administrative credit and repayment paths are distinguished, and scope exclusions are preserved.

Learn first. Qualify through play. The day-end pool is designed around eligible activity and winning shares, not a promised amount per account.

No Fighter cards are minted at signup. The ghost catalog enables learning and drafting. Starter SGC is set to 0. Energy is an allowance of 20 per day, cost 1 per match, capacity 100; it does not promise wins or a purchase budget.

The daily family purse is the capped, weekly-adjusted value of base plus rate times qualified accounts. Eligible winning shares divide the payable purse. The rate sizes the pool; it is not your individual reward.

Charged losses can qualify an account but do not earn winning shares. Population assignment picks the family with the most charged matches, breaking ties toward the higher family; that sizes pools, and payout in another family still requires eligibility there. House AI seats are not players in the count. Zero eligible shares means no payout, and a resolver failure holds the day rather than falling back to a raw account count.

Each cap is designed to bind at 1,150 of that family's own qualified accounts, not 1,150 total users. The payout cap bounds the whole family purse for that day at 6 times the family rate for every qualified account; it never bounds what a single account can receive. Shares divide the purse pro rata, so a day with few winners pays those winners more. Withheld value is not minted and not carried.

The caps add up to 494,500 SGC, beneath the 775,000 SGC daily backstop.

The weekly pool guard is plus or minus 20% against settled reference history, with cold-start and zero-reference exceptions. It does not cap each player's payout change. Four families each have five rating tiers. Collection Power gates family entry only.

When claim mode is enabled, settlement records an amount and token for eligible players to claim on Play; an unclaimed award can re-pool into that family's next-day pool. That carry is previously priced value, not the same as withheld value. The alternate configuration credits at settlement directly. No claim balance or action belongs on this public page.

Scenario only, at an assumed 55/25/15/5 family split. These are not observed active-user counts or average personal rewards.

A later ownership transition is founder-controlled, not an automatic countdown. Partially leveled owned cards can carry a lower play reward weight than an alpha ghost, and ghosts never contribute an overlevel leg, so buying a card does not always increase rewards.

Staking sets STEL aside under position rules. Eligible positions accrue from configured STEL and SIGIL pools. The APR setting is a ceiling, not a promised return.

Staking is built behind its own gate. Daily pools are 10,000 STEL and up to 1,000 SIGIL. The APR cap is 50%, unstaking takes 13 weeks and restaking has a 5% bonus.

Staked and locked principal are not burned. Accrual, claim, restake and release are different events. STEL decay is implemented behind its own switch, and the proposed larger staking allocation must not be confused with today's configured pool. The same account can hold liquid, pending, staked and locked amounts.

Governance is a future role, not an available proposal or voting system. No quorum, voting timetable or execution mechanism is promised here.

Different limits answer different questions. The SGC reward cap does not count every source of SGC. STEL program shares are proposed emission budgets, not preminted allocations to investors. A pack cap is not a cap on every reward item.

Sized over 730 days at 1,000 qualified accounts, with the entry gate off. It excludes native-HIVE collateralised issuance and is not a maximum total SGC supply or liability.

A frozen model scenario, not a configured cap and not circulating supply. Native HIVE issuance is excluded and ordinary transfers are zero. The selected-cap runway is 497.8 days on the amortised modelled total, or 147.3 days with all ranked caps paid daily; do not mix these with the 736.90-day full-model scenario or imply a release date.

When the armed SGC reward cap latches, ranked and the Void Chest currency leg resolve to STEL at the configured conversion rate and decay. The modelled regular and season-end SGC award programs have no STEL successor. Already committed claims retain their documented treatment. At STEL exhaustion there is no third token; affected lanes can pay zero.

The conversion default is 0.75 STEL per SGC-equivalent unit, multiplied by the STEL decay factor. This is a conversion parameter, not a STEL dollar price. A separate daily ranked STEL budget exists; its default of zero disables that daily ceiling, while a supply cap of zero means zero headroom. The supply latch is durable; deliberately disabling cap enforcement is an operator rollback, not a supply burn.

The configured STEL supply ceiling is 3,000,000,000; enforcement scope and exceptions are documented. Day-one daily allocations are shown, not lifetime totals. Unused budgets are never minted. No team or investor allocation split is set here.

The model's ceiling falls as STEL is minted. Unused allocation is not a promise to create tokens. The starting rate is 1,892,536 STEL per day at the model's starting point, at most.

The proposed program shares are emission budgets, not preminted allocations. No team or investor lifetime ownership split is set here.

The Genesis cap counts delivered packs, including bonus and promised allocations. Cache limits count prints through the Cache channel. A Fighter rotated out of that channel is not necessarily permanently out of print.

Rotation is roster maintenance, not automatic perpetual rarity. Former Cache cards can return to Genesis, and incoming cards can already have printed supply. The same allowance counts plain and mythic copies. Exhausted picks redraw within rarity first, then the eligible pool; total exhaustion refuses the open rather than conjuring supply.

A KRED-funded card sale does not mint SGC. The buyer's credit is retired and the seller is paid from existing treasury liquidity.

At the configured fee, a buyer pays 10,000 KRED, the treasury pays the seller 9,500 SGC, and new SGC minted is 0.

If the pool cannot fund the sale, the full SGC price can be taken instead when the buyer is fully funded in SGC. Otherwise the purchase is refused without a partial KRED debit. There is no mixed-payment fallback. Cash arrives when KRED is purchased, not again when it is spent. Purchased, bonus and inventory-backed KRED have different funding histories.

A published market promise does not create settlement float. An unfunded KRED-only buyer is refused.

Separate bridge, separate reserve

A future one-way bridge would burn STEL and pay existing SGC from a separate reserve. It is not an available cash-out promise.

A 1,000 STEL burn at the internal $0.01 reference would pay 9,500 SGC after a 5% haircut. The bridge has its own 300,000 SGC float and a 5% daily drain policy, an effective 15,000 SGC per day at that float. The account ceiling of 10,000 per day and the global ceiling of 500,000 per day are not available daily budgets.

Opening requires the end of SGC reward issuance, funded separate liquidity, per-account and global controls, and a manipulation-resistant oracle. Freshness, depth, deviation, executable volume and a circuit breaker all need concrete thresholds, which are not set here. The STEL reserve allocation is not SGC liquidity.

SIGIL records loyalty today; its spending catalog remains planned. Planned consumables can affect pack odds or match volume, so they have limits. No item here is currently offered by this whitepaper.

A catalog is a spending opportunity, not proof of absorption. One-off cosmetics total 3,750 SIGIL and then saturate. SIGIL has no supply cap in the SGC and STEL cap system, which is why calling loyalty balances sustainably burned would be unsupported. Energy can change qualification or family assignment; booster effects are bounded, not nonexistent.

Allocated is not minted. Minted is not liquid. A liquid balance is not proof that an outside market can buy it.

This whitepaper uses committed rules and labelled model scenarios. Live balances, circulating supply, treasury liquidity and alpha-earnings liabilities have not been measured here. Unmeasured does not mean zero.

No exchange listing, contract address, circulating market cap, reserve proof, security-audit seal or buyback transaction can be invented from these sources. This page cannot tell you how much you could sell on an outside market.

Dependency lanes, not invented quarterly promises. Foundational dates are design decisions, not release or activation dates; later model and seed changes exist.

Foundational design decisions, oldest first. The numbers on this page are kept current; the running list of changes lives in the release notes, not here.

Play for the battle, not a promised return. Product demand can disappoint, treasury liquidity can run short, and planned features can change. Controls reduce exposure; they do not remove it.

Inspected controls include ledger idempotency and duplicate-transfer handling, withdrawal token, account and recipient checks with an idempotent debit, and a transactional treasury-debit-before-seller-credit structure. Node-health failover and irreversible-block deposit handling are documented. These are design controls, not a completed penetration test or an independent audit.

This whitepaper explains game mechanics and labelled economic designs. It is not financial advice, an earnings forecast or a promise of return. Tokens and digital items may lose all value and may not be liquid. KRED and SIGIL cannot be cashed out. Stellarch is in alpha; mechanics, rates and availability can change. The Terms and Privacy Policy are separate documents. No regulatory approval or legal-sufficiency certification is claimed.

Every mechanism, in a stable order, with its meaning and dependency. The evidence class describes what is implemented, planned or reserved, never that a route is verified live.

58 of 58 mechanisms

Implemented means the code exists in this checkout, not that a route is verified live. Actual availability also depends on active configuration, prerequisites and funding. A disabled member of a bundle does not disable every mechanism in it, and reserved hooks are not player earning routes.
