# MetaMinez Game Mechanics

### Game Instance Registration

Each MetaMinez game instance has a specific window of time in which anyone may register. This is known as the <mark style="color:blue;">**Game Registration Period**</mark>. Once the Game Registration Period ends, no additional Players may enter this specific game instance. The game instance's participants and their respective Total Mining Power are then tabulated.

### Operation Duration

The <mark style="color:blue;">**Operation Duration**</mark>, which is the length of time a game will be active, will be 24-48 hours. After the game instance is completed, Players may return to collect their Terranzinite Crystals.

### Cryptocurrency Withdrawals

Cryptocurrencies earned from Terranzinite Crystals are viewable in the Player's Account/Profile Tab in the Blaziverse dApp.

* Players may initiate a request to withdraw cryptocurrencies from their Account at any time.
* Withdrawal requests are processed once a week
* Each cryptocurrency may have a minimum withdrawal amount
* Due to price fluctuations, the fiat value of the cryptocurrency at the time of withdrawal request may differ from the value sent at the time of the weekly transfer
* There are minimal processing (gas) fees associated with withdrawing cryptocurrency from the Blaziverse dApp

### Game Notes

It is important to note that MetaMinez is **NOT** a <mark style="color:blue;">**Staking Pool**</mark>. Players are <mark style="color:blue;">**NOT**</mark> committing their $MBLZ Tokens via a Smart Contract.

Players will **never** see their $MBLZ Token balance **increase or decrease** as a result of playing a MetaMinez game instance. The $MBLZ Tokens are simply committed to the game instance, not removed from the Player's wallet.

When a Player enters a MetaMinez game instance, they must commit some $MBLZ Tokens to play. The Player's wallet balance will be checked prior to, as well as after, each MetaMinez game instance. The Player's wallet balance must **NOT DECREASE** below the amount they committed to the game instance or they will be disqualified from the game and will not earn any rewards.&#x20;

A Player may enter as many Mines (game instances) as they want, but they cannot commit the exact same tokens to multiple games running concurrently. For example, if a Player owns 1 Million $MBLZ tokens and has committed 1 Million to a game instance, they may not commit that same 1 Million to another game instance that starts before the first one is completed.

Players may sell any **excess** $MBLZ Tokens, over and above the number of tokens committed to the game instance, without being penalized.

Players are **NOT GUARANTEED** to be awarded a specific number of Terranzinite Crystals based on their Total Mining Power. MetaBlaze utilizes a system for awarding Terranzinite Crystals. Players with a higher Total Mining Power have a stronger likelihood of earning/finding more Terranzinite Crystals as opposed to Players with less Total Mining Power.
