Engagement & challenges

Challenges are the engagement loop: you post a challenge, members answer, it auto-grades at the deadline, pays out FLUX, and everyone climbs a weekly leaderboard and a lifetime Solver rank. You author it once — VectorLabz does the grading, the draw, the payout, and the announce.

Like giveaways, everything runs from Discord slash commands, and only wallets with Manage Server (or your configured initiator role) can create them.

The reward system — FLUX & VECTOR¶

VectorLabz has two reward currencies with deliberately different roles:

FLUX is earned by motion — it flows in as you show up and play. It's meant to be abundant and spent on fun. VECTOR is the store of value, and staking is how you earn it. Keeping them separate means engagement never inflates the staking economy.

Active stakers can convert a small, capped amount of FLUX into VECTOR at a steep rate — a bonus that rewards playing and staking, never a shortcut around it. To build real VECTOR, stake.

Key commands¶

Turn it on¶

Challenges is off by default. Enable the Challenges module for your project in Studio (Modules), then register the commands. Until it's enabled, /challenge politely tells members it isn't available yet.

Create a challenge¶

The core command. A trivia riddle with multiple-choice answers is the friendliest start — one tap, no spelling risk:

/challenge title:"WHO AM I?" \
  question:"Oscar-winning actress · played a dual-pistol game hero in 2001 · married an assassin on-screen in 2005 · Maleficent" \
  options:"Angelina Jolie | Charlize Theron | Megan Fox | Scarlett Johansson" \
  answer:"Angelina Jolie" reward:500 minutes:60

The card posts with a button per option. Members tap one — that's it. The correct answer is stored server-side and never shown on the card.

/challenge title:"Trait trivia" options:"Gold, Void, Cyber, Bone" answer:"Void" reward:300

/challenge title:"Name the founder" question:"Who deployed the collection?" answer:"Satoshi"

/challenge title:"Guess the supply" answer:"4444" type:number reward:250

How it grades & pays¶

When the deadline passes (checked every ~5 minutes), the challenge auto-grades:

• Participation — everyone who answered earns play FLUX (default 50).
• Speed — correct and fast earns a bonus; the quickest correct answers earn the most.
• The prize — a single winner is drawn provably fairly from the correct answers (or, if nobody got it, from all who played) and earns reward FLUX.
• Streaks — answering on consecutive days multiplies your FLUX (up to 2×).

The card flips to a Revealed state showing the answer, the winner, and the seed — so the draw is auditable.

Multiple winners¶

Draw more than one winner with winners: (default 1). The committed seed ranks them 1^st, 2^nd, 3^rd… provably fairly, and each drawn winner earns the reward FLUX. Ties at any position are resolved by the same seed, so nothing is arbitrary.

/challenge title:"Trivia Thunder" options:"A, B, C, D" answer:"C" winners:3 reward:250

Streaks & Solver rank¶

Every member has a lifetime Solver rank (Rookie → Diamond Solver) from the FLUX they've earned, plus a daily streak. They check it with:

/rank

…which shows their level, lifetime FLUX, streak, and how much FLUX to the next rank. Streaks reset if a day is missed — the return-tomorrow hook.

Weekly leaderboard & prizes¶

Every Monday, the FLUX earned that week is ranked and the top 3 are paid a bonus automatically, announced in your winners channel. The board is live and holder-gated: only currently-verified holders hold a spot — if someone sells out of the collection, they drop off and their Solver role is revoked. Their lifetime FLUX is kept, so re-verifying restores their standing.

Flex your NFT¶

Verified holders can show off a token with /flex — it posts a branded Living card and earns a small daily FLUX.

/flex number:20 collection:aevon

number is the token to flex; collection is optional (defaults to your main collection). The card is personalized with the holder's FLUX, holdings, and streak. Non-holders are prompted to /verify first.
