Once upon a time in the magical world of Blobble, a young, curious Blobble named Blinky set out on a grand adventure. Blinky was eager to explore the vast world around him and meet all the fascinating characters that called Blobble World their home.

Blinky's journey began with his beloved owner, who understood the importance of keeping their Blobble well-fed, happy, and healthy. Every day, they fed Blinky with the finest food and drinks, showering him with love and affection. They even paid a small fee to ensure Blinky stayed completely satisfied for a whole week.

<img src="https://1671434509-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FfzJnTcpppcTSAlrPYf77%2Fuploads%2FjJ4Af3oBXTQ80Lu8ewRz%2Fsage.png?alt=media&amp;token=b5a08d67-d7cf-4103-9d77-b83cb1beeeb7" alt="" data-size="line"> **More than love**

As Blinky and his owner shared their love, they discovered that their bond brought them more than just happiness. It also earned them BST tokens daily! The older Blinky grew, the more tokens they received. They learned that this was all thanks to the Blobble treasury, which was continually replenished with 70% of Blobble sales and 100% of Blobble feedings.

One sunny day, Blinky stumbled upon a wise old Blobble named Sage. Sage explained to Blinky the secret behind BST tokens: they were backed by the stablecoin bnUSD. "Initially, 1 BST can be redeemed for 1 bnUSD, young one," said Sage. "And as more minting and redeeming happens, the value of BST tokens will continue to rise. It's one of the many wonders of Blobble World!"

Excited by this knowledge, Blinky continued his journey and soon met a cheerful iDoge NFT holder, who showed him another way to earn even more BST tokens. By [holding an iDoge NFT](https://www.idogelabs.com/), Blobble owners could receive an additional 5% daily payout from the Blobble treasury.

Next, Blinky encountered the [Eye on ICON node](https://www.eyeonicon.xyz/), Blobble's best friend. The Eye on ICON node revealed that if Blinky's owner voted for it, they would receive 25% of the node rewards in BST tokens. And if Blinky was well taken care of, the rewards would increase by an additional 25%. It was a fantastic deal, and Blinky couldn't believe his luck.

As Blinky ventured further, he met other Blobble friends, including the proud owners of iDoge and [16-bit Fight Club](https://www.16bitfightclub.io/) NFTs. These friends explained that their NFTs granted them an extra 10% and 5% rewards, respectively, from the Eye on ICON validator.

Throughout his adventure, Blinky met many fascinating characters who helped him understand the incredible world of Blobble and the rewarding mechanics it offered. With each new friendship and discovery, Blinky's life became richer and more exciting.

And so, Blinky the Blobble continued to explore, laugh, and grow in the ever-evolving, enchanting world of Blobble, knowing that with each new day, he and his owner would reap the rewards of their love and dedication.

### Don't let your Blobble go unhealthy

Unhealthy Blobbles get sent to the Blobble Orphanage. Unless Blobbles are adopted by new prospective owners, they remain in the custody of the original owner. Unhealthy Blobbles do not earn BST for their owner.

<figure><img src="https://1671434509-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FfzJnTcpppcTSAlrPYf77%2Fuploads%2FlmK1a4CWAmyHYsCXh7kK%2Forphanage-bg-4k.png?alt=media&amp;token=365b7716-5d18-4fdc-a62c-d893f4731019" alt=""><figcaption><p>Unhealthy Blobbles end up in the Orphanage</p></figcaption></figure>

# Blobble Treasury

The Blobble treasury is what pays our BST tokens to Blobble owners.

# Token mechanics


# BST Minting and bnUSD Redeeming

Check out these example infographics and chunk calculations.

The BST token is backed by an increasing amount of [bnUSD](https://balanced.network/stablecoin/).&#x20;

* <mark style="background-color:purple;">All interactions in the Blobble Playground, Orphanage, Market and Finance place are designed to make the amount of bnUSD grow faster than the total supply of BST.</mark>

Minting and Redeeming BST incurs a 5% tax:

* 95% of minted or redeemed BST gets issued to the user
* 4% of minted or redeemed BST gets added to the bnUSD in the treasury
* 1% of minted or redeemed BST goes to the Blobble Foundation (team + marketing)

# BST Price Action

Divide the total bnUSD locked in the BST minter contract by the total BST supply.

![](https://1671434509-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FfzJnTcpppcTSAlrPYf77%2Fuploads%2Fs5c8jK9B7W7SDrsRboBV%2Fbst-minting.png?alt=media\&token=41295bc3-fe8a-41e0-9fea-be457902b9f9)

The price of BST is calculated using a simple formula:&#x20;

* **Divide the total bnUSD locked in the BST minter contract by the total BST supply**&#x20;

This formula is utilized every time BST tokens are minted or burned, ensuring a transparent and fair pricing mechanism.

*<mark style="background-color:purple;">For instance, if the treasury holds $500 bnUSD and there are 500 BST tokens in circulation, the price of BST would be $1 ($500 ÷ 500)</mark>*

The price adjusts accordingly as more BST tokens are minted or redeemed, benefiting all existing holders. Check out the total supply and amount of holders right [here](https://tracker.icon.community/token/cxf14dea1cff7ceb29a46e6d04533a08f84441e41d).<br>


# New Blobble Mints

Each new Blobble will cost $60 bnUSD

All of that 60 dollars goes through the BST minter contract:

* 70% goes to the [Blobble Treasury](/game-play/blobble-treasury)&#x20;
* 30% goes to the Blobble Foundation (team + marketing)

Learn how to mint a Blobble right [here](/game-play/how-to-mint-a-blobble)!


# BST Distribution Ratio Calculations

Let's get granular!

Below is the code that determines the percentage each healthy Blobble receives from the daily Blobble Treasury & Eye On ICON Node Treasury distribution receives.<br>

```
ids := healthyBlobbleIds 
sharePerId := make(map[int]float64) sort.Ints(ids)
n := float64(len(ids))
sum := n * (n + 1) / 2

for i, id := range ids {
	share := (n - float64(i)) / sum * 100.0
	sharePerId[id] = share
}

return sharePerId
```


# Caretaking fees

To keep a Blobble happy you need to feed it, give it some love and give it something to drink.

You can do these once a day for free, or pay a small fee in bnUSD to keep your Blobble fed, happy and full of drink.

The bnUSD is used to mint BST and then all the BST is added to the [Blobble Treasury](/game-play/blobble-treasury).

*<mark style="background-color:purple;">On ICON, ICX holders can stake and delegate ICX to validators – entities that have registered to participate in governing the ICON blockchain.

Healthy Blobbles will reward you with BST tokens according to this [Rewards Distribution Graphic](/bst-token-information/rewards-distribution-graphic).


# Can I buy the BST token on Balanced DEX?

It is not advisable to buy the BST token on Balanced DEX.

* <mark style="background-color:purple;">**BST Tokens are best minted on the Blobble Finance page.**</mark>

BST tokens are backed by bnUSD and [minted/redeemed](/bst-token-information/token-mechanics/bst-minting-and-bnusd-redeeming) on the Blobble Finance page. The price of BST is determined by the underlying bnUSD that is backing it, read more about BST price action [here](/bst-token-information/token-mechanics/bst-price-action).

<img src="https://1671434509-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FfzJnTcpppcTSAlrPYf77%2Fuploads%2FJQd4WrUE74xrCwOpdmtL%2Fwarning-removebg-preview.png?alt=media&amp;token=de3a16ba-32eb-4cd7-8102-9d27166c5d6c" alt="" data-size="line"> If you attempt to sell or buy BST tokens on Balanced, you will be dealing with a community-created pool. As a result, the price may not accurately reflect the redeem value offered on the finance page. Therefore, we suggest users against buying or selling on balanced, unless we release an official announcement saying otherwise.

**You will always get the most accurate price for BST from the Blobble Finance page.**

# How does the team profit?

When a new Blobble gets minted in the [Playground ](/game-play/how-to-mint-a-blobble)or an unhealthy Blobble gets adopted in the [Orphanage](/game-play/how-to-adopt-a-blobble), all the paid bnUSD goes through the BST minter contract:

* 70% goes to the [Blobble Treasury](/game-play/blobble-treasury)&#x20;
* 30% goes to the Blobble Foundation (team + marketing).

[Minting and Redeeming BST](/bst-token-information/token-mechanics/bst-minting-and-bnusd-redeeming) incurs a 5% tax:

* 95% of minted or redeemed BST gets issued to the user
* 4% of minted or redeemed BST gets added to the bnUSD in the treasury
* 1% of minted or redeemed BST goes to the Blobble Foundation (team + marketing)


# Why would I adopt a Blobble?

There are two main reasons why you would adopt a Blobble from the [Orphanage](/game-play/how-to-adopt-a-blobble):

* **It can be cheaper!**&#x20;
  * Orphan Blobbles cost $40 + their respective backlog of health.
  * *<mark style="background-color:purple;">You might find an orphan Blobble that is four weeks old and end up paying \~$54</mark>*
* **To earn more BST tokens!**&#x20;
  * Older Blobbles generate more BST tokens for their owner.&#x20;
  * *<mark style="background-color:purple;">A linear distribution is in place, favoring old and healthy Blobbles.</mark>*&#x20;


# What is Blobble Finance?

Find a great BST token overview

Blobble Finance is a page in the Blobble dApp which displays a bunch of interesting BST token metrics:

* Total BST supply
* Total bnUSD backing the BST supply
* The BST price, expressed in bnUSD
* Your personal BST holdings
* The bnUSD value of your personal BST holdings
* The amount of BST necessary to keep your Blobble healthy for up to a week

# How does Blobble code live entirely on-chain?

The code that displays your unique Blobble lives entirely on-chain, there is no off-chain file storage involved.

When a user decides to [Mint a Blobble](/bst-token-information/token-mechanics/bst-minting-and-bnusd-redeeming), the in-browser HTML code (enabling the display of your Blobble) gets exported and stored on the ICON blockchain.

* <mark style="background-color:purple;">Every time your Blobble appears on-screen, it has been pulled straight from the ICON blockchain.</mark>


# Why must I approve the Orphanage Contract?

To approve or not to approve? That is certainly not the question.

In order for a user to interact with Blobble game play, certain permissions must be given to the Blobble contracts. For example, unhealthy Blobbles must be moved to the Orphanage. This would not be possible without essential permissions.

Here's two facts about signing off on Blobbles necessary contract permissions:

* Upon Blobble minting, a user automatically signs off on the necessary contract permissions for Blobble game play to be enabled.
* When a user does not mint a fresh Blobble, but decides to stalk the Orphanage instead, this signing off on the necessary contract permissions must happen manually.


# How do you counter game and BST growth stagnancy?

### **How to Counter Game Stagnancy**

Users are incentivized to keep taking care of their owned Blobbles. This happens through the Blobble-specific issuance of BST tokens:

* Older Blobbles earn more.
* Unhealthy Blobbles earn nothing.

**A Balanced Approach**

If users feel that the BST rewards do not weigh up against the effort and/or cost of Blobble caretaking, they will stop taking care of their poor Blobble and it will become unhealthy.

Seeing as unhealthy Blobbles earn nothing, this means that the poor Blobbles former daily BST rewards will now be distributed amongst all other Blobbles who are still of good health.

* When 1 Blobble goes unhealthy, other Blobbles earn more BST for their owner.

**A Growing Incentive**

The BST token that a Blobble earns is backed by the [bnUSD stablecoin](https://balanced.network/stablecoin/) and [designed to go up](/bst-token-information/token-mechanics/bst-price-action). Healthy and older Blobbles earn more BST, which provides incentive for users to take care of their minted Blobbles and look for older Blobble to [adopt from the Orphanage](/game-play/how-to-adopt-a-blobble).&#x20;

### How to Counter BST Growth Stagnancy

The BST token is designed to go up. This is achieved by placing a 5% tax on both [BST Mints and BST Redeeming](/bst-token-information/token-mechanics/bst-minting-and-bnusd-redeeming). This tax ensures that the total supply of BST tokens grows slower than the total amount bnUSD backing each token.

If there is no minting and redeeming happening, the price of BST stops growing This is why Blobble game play and Eye on ICON validator node reward distribution are closely intertwined with the minting and redeeming functionalities of the BST contract.&#x20;

Here are some examples of BST minting and redeeming:

* When a user mints or adopts a Blobble with bnUSD, 70% is used to mint BST tokens.
* When a user feeds a Blobble for up to 7 days with bnUSD, 100% is used to mint BST tokens.
* When the Eye on ICON Validator Node receives node rewards, 100% (after costs) is used to mint BST tokens.
* When a user purchases a Blobble on the Market, 90% is used to mint BST tokens.
* Visitors who want to hold BST token in their portfolio can mint BST Tokens.
* Users who vote for the Eye on ICON Validator Node receive BST tokens, these can be redeemed for bnUSD.
* Users who hold a Blobble NFT receive BST tokens, these can be redeemed for bnUSD.
* Users who hold an iDoge NFT receive BST tokens, these can be redeemed for bnUSD.
* Users who hold a 16Bit Fight Club NFT receive BST tokens, these can be redeemed for bnUSD.

As the Blobble World expands, new game play ideas and token campaigns may arise in order to power additional BST minting and redeeming activity.


# Can I benefit without playing the game?

Absolutely.

You may not be into blockchain games, nor have the time to take care of a Blobble. But you could still see value in the Blobble game play and its BST tokenomics. Here are two ways of benefitting from Blobbe, without playing the game:

* Mint BST, which is backed by an ever increasing amount of bnUSD. Click [here ](/bst-token-information/token-mechanics/bst-minting-and-bnusd-redeeming)if you want to know how BST works.
* Vote for [Eye on ICON Validator Node](/bst-token-information/eye-on-icon-validator-node-rewards) with your staked ICX or with your bOMM delegations. You will get a share of 25% of all node rewards, paid out in the BST token. You can increase this percentage with certains actions as is described [here](/game-play/how-to-earn-bst-token).


# Can I play the game for free?

Yes and No! Let's explain that:

* Yes. By checking in with your Blobble on a daily base, you can provide it with [free feeds](/faq/what-is-free-feeding) of Food, Drink and Love. These free feeds do require a negligible amount of ICX to cover ICON blockchain transaction fees. There is no in-game charge for these feeds.
* No. The initial purchase of a Blobble is required to gain entry into the Blobble world of game play. Blobbles can be purchased in the [Playground](/game-play/how-to-mint-a-blobble), the [Orphanage ](/game-play/how-to-adopt-a-blobble)and the [Market ](/faq/how-do-you-sell-your-blobble)at varying rates.
