Players buy NFTs from the Decentral Games & trade them on the aftermarket. Players can also upgrade or activate NFTs against a fee.

Decentral games is a non-custodial casino protocol built on Ethereum and other adjacent blockchains. Decentral Games was founded by Steve Becerra & Miles Anthony and launched in 2019.

DG tokenholders own and govern the protocol. They currently take all of the mint, royalty, upgrade, activation, tournament wearable, shine, node operator, and metaverse marketing fees paid by users (revenue). Decentral Games’ investors include Metaverse Ventures & Bitscale Capital, etc.

# Decentral Games Token incentives Methodology

## 1. Overview

Token incentives measures the USD value of tokens distributed by Decentral Games to incentivize user participation and governance activities. This metric captures two types of incentive distributions: gameplay rewards (ICE tokens on Polygon) and governance rewards (DG tokens on Ethereum). The calculation identifies specific token transfer events from known incentive accounts and aggregates them daily in USD terms.

## 2. Data sources

- **Polygon token transfer events**: Parsed `Transfer` events from Polygon blockchain for ICE token distributions
- **Ethereum token transfer events**: Parsed `Transfer` events from Ethereum blockchain for DG token distributions  
- **End-of-day token price feeds**: USD prices for ICE and DG tokens used for currency conversion
- **Token metadata**: Decimal precision information for proper token amount calculations

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: Gameplay incentives extraction
- **Purpose**: Captures ICE token rewards distributed to players for gameplay activities
- **Logic**: Identifies `Transfer` events on Polygon where ICE tokens (contract `0xc6c855ad634dcdad23e64da71ba85b8c51e5ad7c`) are transferred from the designated gameplay incentive account (`0x1ae5397942bf43ce1fe3f137622a0a7a33ac4826`) to any recipient address. Each transfer represents a gameplay reward distribution.
- **Key fields**: `block_timestamp` for timing, `transaction_hash` and `log_index` for unique identification, `from_address` and `to_address` for transfer parties, `token_address` for token identification, `value` for transfer amount

### Component B: Governance incentives extraction  
- **Purpose**: Captures DG token rewards distributed for governance participation and staking
- **Logic**: Identifies `Transfer` events on Ethereum where DG tokens (contract `0x4b520c812e8430659fc9f12f6d0c39026c83588d`) are transferred from treasury accounts (`0x7a61a0ed364e599ae4748d1ebe74bf236dd27b09`, `0x99cef4a71d42c0f24f30b0eb0b22792c`) or contributor account (`0x7146cae915f1cd90871ecc69999beffdcaf38ff9`) to the xDG staking contract (`0x4f81c790581b240a5c948afd173620ecc8c71c8d`). These transfers represent governance incentive distributions.
- **Key fields**: `block_timestamp` for timing, `transaction_hash` and `log_index` for unique identification, `from_address` filtered to treasury/contributor accounts, `to_address` filtered to xDG contract, `token_address` for DG token, `value` for transfer amount

### Component C: Daily aggregation
- **Purpose**: Combines gameplay and governance incentives into daily totals by token and chain
- **Logic**: Truncates all transfer timestamps to daily boundaries and groups transfers by date, chain, token address, and business categorization (gaming sector, game segment). Sums the token amounts within each group to produce daily incentive totals per token type.
- **Key fields**: `timestamp` truncated to day, `chain_id` (ethereum or polygon), `token_address`, aggregated `token_incentives` amount

### Final aggregation
- **Combining components**: Gameplay and governance incentives are unioned together and aggregated by day, maintaining separate totals for each token type and chain
- **Currency conversion**: Raw token amounts are converted to USD using end-of-day price feeds, with proper decimal adjustment based on each token's precision (18 decimals for both ICE and DG tokens)
- **Time aggregation**: All incentive distributions are grouped by calendar day boundaries, with missing days filled with zero values to maintain continuous time series
- **Final calculation**: The final metric value represents the total USD value of token incentives distributed by Decentral Games on each day, combining both gameplay rewards (ICE tokens) and governance rewards (DG tokens) across Ethereum and Polygon chains
