GoalBlox: Empowering Game Developers with Decentralized Incentives on SunPUMP
Introduction
GoalBlox is a decentralized tool designed to help Roblox game developers grow their player base by leveraging blockchain technology. By issuing custom tokens (GoalBlox tokens) and NFTs, GoalBlox incentivizes early referrals, testers, and ongoing user engagement. Using TRON’s blockchain, we combine adaptive reward models with AI-driven decisions, dynamically adjusting incentives for referrals and growth based on real-time data.
This approach optimizes rewards for developers, ensuring that each stage of game growth—from early adoption to viral expansion—is incentivized to maximize community-driven success.
________________________________________
Methodology Overview
GoalBlox operates on a dynamic rewards system where tokens and NFTs are issued to incentivize users to refer others, engage testers, and grow their game. AI dynamically selects the optimal reward model—whether logarithmic, lognormal, or exponential—based on the stage of game growth and real-time data.
________________________________________
Token Issuance: GoalBlox Tokens
Developers are issued GoalBlox tokens based on their number of Roblox friends and active game users. These tokens can be used for rewards, referrals, or trading within the platform, incentivizing users to spread awareness of their game.
Token Calculation:
GoalBlox Tokens=Friends×(FriendsGame Users)\text{GoalBlox Tokens} = \text{Friends} \times \left( \frac{\text{Friends}}{\text{Game Users}} \right)GoalBlox Tokens=Friends×(Game UsersFriends)
• Friends: Number of Roblox friends the developer has.
• Game Users: Current active users in the developer’s game.
Example:
A developer with 100 friends and 10 game users would be issued:
100×(10010)=1000 GoalBlox Tokens100 \times \left( \frac{100}{10} \right) = 1000 \text{ GoalBlox Tokens}100×(10100)=1000 GoalBlox Tokens

NFT Creation for Early Referrals and Discounts
In addition to tokens, developers receive a custom NFT for their game, providing discounts on community-based services (e.g., testers, referrals). The discount scales based on their friends-to-users ratio and provides significant value to early adopters.
NFT Discount Calculation:
The discount is calculated using a function based on the friends-to-users ratio:
Discount=min((FriendsGame Users×10),50%)\text{Discount} = \min \left( \left( \frac{\text{Friends}}{\text{Game Users}} \times 10 \right), 50\% \right)Discount=min((Game UsersFriends×10),50%)
Example:
A developer with 200 friends and 50 game users would receive:
20050×10=40% Discount\frac{200}{50} \times 10 = 40\% \text{ Discount}50200×10=40% Discount
This NFT can be used to access testers or referrals at a reduced rate, further encouraging growth during the early stages of the game.

AI-Driven Reward System: Logarithmic, Lognormal, and Exponential Models
GoalBlox leverages AI to dynamically choose between different reward models based on the game’s current growth phase. These models ensure that referrals and user acquisition are optimized for each stage of the game.
Logarithmic Reward Model (Early Referrals):
In the early stages, referrals are the most valuable. The reward for each referral decreases logarithmically as more users join, maximizing rewards for early adopters:
R(x)=a−b×log(x)R(x) = a - b \times \log(x)R(x)=a−b×log(x)
• aaa: Maximum reward for the first referral.
• bbb: Constant determining the decay rate.
Lognormal Reward Model (Mature Growth):
As the game gains traction, the rewards are distributed more evenly using a lognormal distribution. This model incentivizes steady growth while maintaining balance as the game matures:
R(x)=1xσ2πe−(lnx−μ)22σ2R(x) = \frac{1}{x \sigma \sqrt{2 \pi}} e^{-\frac{(\ln x - \mu)^2}{2 \sigma^2}}R(x)=xσ2π1e−2σ2(lnx−μ)2
• μ\muμ: Mean of the log of the variable.
• σ\sigmaσ: Standard deviation.
Exponential Reward Model (Viral Growth):
In periods of rapid growth or viral campaigns, exponential rewards drive massive scaling. This model incentivizes referrals exponentially as the game’s user base grows:
R(x)=a×eb×xR(x) = a \times e^{b \times x}R(x)=a×eb×x
• aaa: Base reward for the first referral.
• bbb: Growth rate constant.
________________________________________
AI Decision Logic for Model Selection
The AI uses real-time data (such as referral success rates, growth rates, and adoption stage) to select the best reward model. Here’s a high-level breakdown of the logic:
• Logarithmic: Applied when the game is in its early stages and high referral success is crucial.
• Exponential: Used during rapid growth phases, especially during promotional campaigns or viral moments.
• Lognormal: Best for maintaining steady growth once the game reaches a mature user base.
Example:
1. Early Stage: Referral success is high and adoption is slow—AI selects logarithmic rewards to heavily incentivize early adopters.
2. Viral Growth: Referral rates spike during a promotion—AI switches to exponential rewards to maximize user acquisition.
3. Stable Growth: Growth stabilizes—AI selects lognormal rewards to balance long-term incentives.
________________________________________
Bonding Curve for Referral Pricing
A bonding curve is implemented to dynamically adjust the price (or reward) of referrals based on supply and demand. In early stages, the bonding curve is inverted, providing high rewards for early referrals, but as the game grows, the curve stabilizes:
P(x)=axbP(x) = \frac{a}{x^b}P(x)=xba
• aaa: Initial reward price.
• bbb: Decay rate as more referrals are acquired.
________________________________________
TRON Blockchain Integration
GoalBlox utilizes TRON for all token and NFT minting, ensuring low fees and fast transaction times. Each user is issued a wallet through Web3Auth, and both tokens and NFTs are minted directly on the TRON blockchain.
Token Minting Process:
1. User logs in via Web3Auth and receives a TRON wallet.
2. Based on their friends and game users, GoalBlox tokens are minted directly to their wallet.
3. NFTs are issued with metadata representing discounts and growth incentives.
________________________________________
Conclusion
GoalBlox provides a dynamic and AI-driven system for incentivizing game growth on the Roblox platform. By using TRON’s blockchain for token and NFT minting, and applying adaptive reward models (logarithmic, lognormal, exponential), GoalBlox empowers developers to optimize user acquisition and referrals. With AI adjusting rewards in real-time, developers can efficiently scale their games from early-stage adoption to mass-market popularity.

Hi, thank you @ines_valerie, @Okorie, @Akainuu, @manfred_jr .
I will update this afternoon after picking my daughter up from school. Many thanks. 
Also, anyone that participates with useful advice (like this one you’ve provided) will get some small amount of GoalBlox tokens as a “token” of appreciation once we’re live on mainnet next week.
Have a great day!

Hi @AKing1997 thank you. Yes, that’s correct.
Developers that help other launching/building/improving their Roblox games receive GoalBlox tokens (TRC20).
Everyone with a Roblox game that wants to grow users get’s issued a meme token for their game on Sun Pump. All they need to do is two things: 1) enter their Roblox username (we pull everything else from that API) 2) Commit to a growth goal (a certain numbers of users they want in the coming year).
The rest (contracts, connection, monitoring and AI mentor check-ins) is done programmatically through an API I built. Unfortunately, there’s no testnet equivalent for Sun Pump so I had to get actual TRX tokens for the demo and make sure passing the parameters to Sun Pump don’t result in losing the small amount of real TRX I have for the project 
Have a great day!
Ok, I will look forward to your updated post
