The planet that activates the artifact and the artifact need to meet: artifact rarity *2>= planet level;
After Black Domain is activated successfully, the target planet will be destroyed and this Block Domain will disappear.

Underlying blockchain & $RES
DF ARES v0.1 Round 1 uses Altlayer’s rollup service, which will be closed shortly after the game ends. In the game, players need to use $RES, which is native token of this rollup service, to pay for gas. Players can get $RES through two ways.
Method one: Airdrop
We provide free $RES Token airdrop quota for players who register through various different channels, as follows:
Users who register through DeGame and submit their game address can get 1 $RES.
The first 1024 players who bind Twitter in the game can get 2 $RES.
The first 1024 players who win score points can get 3 $RES.
The first 1024 players who interact with the game contract more than 256 times can get 4 $RES.
The first 1024 players who interact with the game contract more than 1024 times can get 5 $RES.
The first 1024 players who interact with the main game contract more than 4096 times can get 6 $RES.
Method two: Exchange $MATIC to $RES by minting ARES Loot NFT on Polygon
The exchange ratio of $RES is 10 $RES = 1 $MATIC. Players can use $MATIC on Polygon to interact with the ARESLoot contract, and the automated program will send the corresponding $RES to the game address.
Use $MATIC to exchange for $RES, operate the contract address:
https://polygonscan.com/address/0x9bebb27dc0b9540da9a74bd3e6bfeece6d001ba7#code
After the game is over, a unified exchange of $RES to $MATIC will be carried out, and players who meet specific conditions can submit an application before 10 am (UTC+0) on July 26, 2023.
The specific exchange rules are as follows:
-
Exchange ratio: 10 $RES=1 $MATIC;
-
The score of the player’s game address > 0;
-
The number of interactions between the game address and the main game contract ≥ 100 times;
-
The exchange amount is an integer multiple of the remaining RES amount of the player (the balance below 1 $RES will not be refunded);
-
The player’s game address needs to appear in at least one ARESLoot.
After the game is over, players who meet the above conditions can send the remaining $RES to a specific account, and then the team will send back the corresponding $MATIC to the player’s game address.

The meaning of each line of this NFT is as follows:

The total reward that each player can get is: reward weight/1024*(basic prize pool 1024 USD + 25% of remaining $MATIC after completing refund)
In addition, prizes from sponsors who provide sponsorship for this event will also be distributed according to ranking, as shown in the table below:
