📊Technical Specifications

1. Machine Operating Characteristics

Each production factory in EtherForge is designed as a semi-automated assembly line, simulating the operational behavior of a biological manufacturing facility.

To maintain gameplay balance and enhance player interaction, every machine follows a system of cooldown cycles, wear-and-tear, and scheduled maintenance requirements.

➤ Overload and Auto-Cooldown Mechanism

After every 12 hours of continuous operation, a machine will automatically pause to cool down. Players must log in and manually restart the machine to resume the refining process. This mechanic encourages active player engagement and adds an element of management strategy to the production process.

➤ Breakdown and Repair Mechanism

After 3 days of operation, a machine will enter a minor breakdown state and stop resource mining. The default repair time is 2 hours, during which the machine cannot function.

Players can shorten this downtime by purchasing a Repair Toolkit priced at 10 $USDC, which can be used 30 times. This toolkit allows automatic repairs, eliminating downtime and ensuring the machine operates continuously at maximum efficiency.

2. Halving Mechanism

The Halving Mechanism serves as a core pillar of EtherForge’s Reward Emission Control System, designed to regulate issuance and maintain the long-term sustainability of the $GENESIS token.

This system ensures that the total supply of $GENESIS released into the market decreases gradually over time, preserving its value and maintaining economic balance within the game.

➤ Operating Principles

• Each Halving Cycle (Epoch) occurs once every 90 days.

• After each cycle, the global reward pool is reduced by 50% compared to the previous cycle.

• This gradual reduction introduces a natural scarcity model, stabilizing token value and extending the economic lifespan of the EtherForge ecosystem.

Reward Cycle	Reward Pool (per 90 days)
Epoch 1	128M
Epoch 2	64M
Epoch 3	32M
Epoch 4	16M
Epoch 5	8M
Epoch 6	2M

Through this halving structure, EtherForge promotes a deflationary token economy, encouraging long-term engagement and strategic resource management among players.
