StatForge

Transforming Real Achievement into Verifiable Progress

Abstract

StatForge introduces a revolutionary blockchain-based platform that transforms real-world achievements into verifiable digital progress. By implementing RPG mechanics in real life, StatForge creates a comprehensive ecosystem where personal growth becomes quantifiable, verifiable, and gamified. This paper outlines the technical architecture, tokenomics, and social systems that enable this transformation.

1. Core Concept

1.1 Vision

StatForge reimagines personal development through the lens of RPG mechanics, creating a world where real achievements are measurable, verifiable, and socially meaningful. Every significant life accomplishment becomes part of a player's permanent, verified record - viewable through both traditional interfaces and upcoming AR/VR integration.

1.2 Primary Stats

The platform tracks five core statistics:

  • Wealth: Financial achievements and economic progress
  • Influence: Social impact and leadership accomplishments
  • Strength: Physical achievements and fitness milestones
  • Intelligence: Educational and cognitive accomplishments
  • Combat: Martial arts, self-defense, and competitive achievements

Additional categories will be added as the platform evolves.

1.3 Leveling and Class System

1.3.1 Level Scaling

The platform employs a logarithmic scaling system that ensures meaningful progression while preventing level inflation:

Level Calculation Formula

Your level is calculated using a balanced logarithmic formula:

  • Base multiplier: 21.55
  • Takes into account your total achievement points
  • Scaling factor adjusts based on category difficulty
  • Ensures steady progression without level inflation
1.3.2 Class System

Classes emerge dynamically based on stat distribution patterns:

Primary Classes:

  • Warrior: Combat > 70, Other stats < 50
  • Scholar: Intelligence > 70, Other stats < 50
  • Sage: High verification reputation, Intelligence > 60
  • Merchant: Wealth > 70, Influence > 50
  • Leader: Influence > 70, Two other stats > 50
  • Champion: Three stats > 65
  • Thief: Negative verification reputation
  • Conqueror: All stats > 60

Prestige Classes (Unlocked at specific achievements):

  • Guild Master: Created guild with >100 members
  • Master Verifier: >1000 successful verifications
  • Quest Maker: >100 completed quest creations
  • Legend: Any stat at Level 90+

Class Benefits:

  • Unique profile aesthetics
  • Special quest access
  • Enhanced verification weight
  • Guild leadership capabilities
  • Mentor system bonuses
1.3.3 Achievement Point Calculation
Achievement Points Formula

Points are calculated using multiple factors:

  • Base Value: Set points for achievement type
  • Rarity Multiplier: Higher for uncommon achievements
  • Time Factor: Bonus for quick completion
  • Verification Strength: Based on verifier reputation
1.3.4 Level Cap Mechanics
Level 100 Requirements

The theoretical maximum level is governed by:

  • Exponentially increasing difficulty
  • Achievement rarity constraints
  • Time-gated progression
  • Verification requirements
  • Multi-stat dependencies

2. Technical Architecture

Base Reputation Calculation

Reputation Growth

Your reputation increases through:

  • +10 points per successful verification
  • +5 points for consensus alignment
  • +0.1 points per day of staking
  • -15 points per failed verification

Category Expertise

Category Expertise Growth

Your expertise in a category grows based on:

  • Number of successful verifications
