📊Technical Specifications

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

1/ Machine Operating Characteristics

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

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.
