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
