5. Functioning of the Services
5.1 Akarun is a dual-platform game that integrates Web2 and Web3 technologies, both regulated by these terms and conditions. The game is available on desktop, Apple mobile, and Google Play mobile platforms.
5.2 In Akarun, users can challenge each other in a virtual race that lasts 30 seconds. They can do this either randomly or by inviting a friend through the appropriate function. To participate in a race, players must possess AKA tokens.
5.3. To compete, each user must choose an Akarunner, which represents a specific token. The race winner is the user who reaches the finish line first at the end of the 30 seconds. The speed of the Akarunnersis determined by real-time price changes, oracled by Chainlink, Coinmarketcap, Quickswap’s and Binance’s APIs. A token skin will run faster when the price of its corresponding token increases and slower when the price decreases.
5.4 Players can use the Free2Play version, where they play without any cost and without the potential to win, or the Real version, where they use AKA tokens to participate. In the Real version, the winner recovers the AKA tokens they used plus a 96% share.
5.5 For each game played in Real mode, 3.4% of the gameplay's pot is proportionally distributed among all gAKA token holders (the governance token of AKA). Another 0.6% share is equally divided among the wallets of the three NFTs involved in the race (two Akarunners and one track).
