Angel Battles is proud to announce the development of the HALO token, an ERC-20 token which will be immediately available to use directly in the Angel Battles game upon launch (estimated Nov 2022)

There are three layers of reasons why players would want to play.

• The first, and primary reason for people to play the game is to have FUN! From day 1 our overarching goal was to develop a game that is just fun to play, without considering the flow of any value.

• The second layer is the HALO layer - Players gain Halo tokens by winning arena battles (except w/Berakiel), winning battles on incentivized leaderboards, and other methods. Players burn Halo tokens to breed a pet or to purchase the Ultimate Pack (most powerful cards).

• The third layer is the Matic layer. – Players purchase gold, silver, and bronze card packs using a Matic on polygon. 100% of this goes to the Gitcoin Matching Grants pool. Players can send a tx to fund the pool with the store’s accumulated balance at any time. This layer means that by simply playing Angel Battles, you are helping to fund public goods! We considered making the game free, but then there would be no way to ensure rarity of key cards.

100% of HALO tokens are earmarked for the community. Angel Battles has no investors and devs are volunteers who receive no HALO tokens for their work.

The first and third incentive layers will last forever, but as HALO tokens are only burnt and not generated, the total supply will only decrease. However, lockups and streaming will ensure that HALO tokens will last at least for several decades. This model should ensure continual incentives for new players.

Why Would Someone Want to Start on Year 2,3,4, etc.?

There is an issue with many crypto projects, where the project only really works for early adopters. We want Angel Battles to be sustainable for the long term. There are 2 advantages of those who start (or continue to purchase angels) later.

• Because the Halo supply strictly decreases, but the arena battle and leaderboard contracts receive a constant amount of tokens streamed, people playing in years 2,3,4 will receive a higher % of existing tokens for the % of all battles that they fight.

• The weaker an angel is, the more often they can battle. New angels will be able to fight a higher % of all the battles than stronger angels.

How Are Halo Tokens Distributed?

There are a total of 1 billion Halo tokens. 52% of the tokens are linearly streamed over 10 years to the treasury. Users can use their HALO tokens to vote how to use these treasury tokens. The treasury intends to hold no other tokens. 22% of the tokens are streamed over 5 years to 6 different contracts, the arena battles as well as 5 battle mountains.

Finally, 26% of the tokens are streamed over 5 years to around 9,800 addresses. 6% is allocated for people who played the 2018 version of angel battles on mainnet, with a 1% bonus for the most active players, which was defined as those who were on the global leaderboard at any point. 5% was allocated for players who played on testnets during 2021 and 2022. 3% was allocated to each of 5 NFT collections consisting of people who have shown alignment with Ethereum community and values. The following POAP holders were included.

Genesis Depositor – Medalla Testnet Resuscitator – Kintsugi Validators – Kiln Validators – 2021 and 2011 Ethstaker Challenge POAP holders - Beacon Chain Diversity POAP holders.

How To Claim

There are two key steps in order to receive your tokens.

1. Claim And Open Stream - The first step is that you must open a stream by sending a merkle proof from the eligible address. You will be able to do this through the ‘account’ page in the front end, which will provide the proof. **There is no ‘expiration’ to the time that you can open your stream.

Note: **You may also claim your stream for a different address - for instance claim from a cold wallet for a hot wallet.

2. Claim Tokens - Once the stream is open, you will be able to claim tokens whenever you want. The amount of tokens you receive will be the total number of tokens multiplied by the time that has past - tokens already claimed.

For example: You receive 100,000 tokens streamed over 5 years. After one year you claim and you will receive 20,000 tokens. 6 months later you claim again. The total due would be 30,000, but you have claimed 20,000 already so the contract will give you 10,000.

**Important Notes: *

**The tokens are for direct use in the game and should not be construed to have any investment purpose or value outside of the game. Over time HALO tokens should cease to exist as they are burned in a one-way process during normal gameplay.

*There are no investors, and the Team Entity has never sold any Halo Tokens and will never sell any Halo Tokens in any jurisdiction. We have also not created any primary of secondary markets for Halo Tokens.
