Firstly, our team has been greatly humbled by the response we have received during the last staking opportunity for the remaining balance after the 1st and 2nd window. The community has been actively trading and CHOOBing sets in anticipation of the window and our members have grown at amazing rate with new Koggers coming in weekly into our ecosystem. We owe it to the passion and generosity of the early adopters who have spent their time and energy to help our new members start their KOGs adventure. 

When the team designed KOGs, our goal was to make sure our NFTs have a clear utility case to set them apart from the other projects that were focused on the speculation of digital art. Our utility case was centered around collectors who could show off their sets and compete in matches where they could play to win, play to earn and play to keep. These goals are still in place with KOGs and are the foundation of our product offerings in the coming weeks. 
 

When the staking program was conceptualized, we wanted to put in place an activity that rewarded our community with a small incentive for collecting sets that were above and beyond their in-game use and metaverse utility. Thus, a 4M RFOX prize pool was formed, valued at 100K USD and launched to allow our community to stake their completed tubes for 90 days in return for RFOX tokens. Our first and second windows ended with a surplus of 1.9M RFOX up for grabs so a last window was presented to ensure that we deliver the committed 4M to our community. Here are the stats from all 3 staking windows and the amounts that each window will pay out. 

Staking window 1 - 3254 Tubes Staked – Payout Total 1,410,900 RFOX 
Staking window 2 - 1347 Tubes Staked – Payout Total 588,850 RFOX 
Staking window 3 - 6320 Tubes Staked – Payout Total 2,238,950 RFOX 
Total RFOX payout for all 3 windows - 4,238,700 RFOX 

As you can see, we have gone past our intended quota for the pool, and we will payout all those that have managed to stake before the window closed. As we grow with communities and product offerings, our diligence in managing the Tokenomics of our RFOX coin will be critical in ensuring stable growth of value as we scale. 

For those that missed the window, we will be releasing more news in the upcoming weeks on new activities related to KOGs and their value. Stay tuned and have a good week ahead!
