Game Play

A significant part of the DEPARTMNT EXPERIENCE will be based on the decisions you make - life is the sum of all choices. Gameplay begins the moment 001 is announced and will ramp up after delivery of the first 2000 Access Tokens.

The DEPARTMNT experience kicks off by giving holders their first and most obvious choice: to retain or trade their Access Token(s). It’s up to you if you want to flip or exchange your Access Token or if you want to make the most out of it. If retained, then holders can access events and participate in the community. Access to both of these will further maximise the benefits they can get from holding an Access Token.

Choosing to either 'redeem' the physical counterpart or to ‘stake’ unredeemed Access Tokens will take Access Token holders to different experience routes of events and varied opportunities to gain different types of PRIVs and TOAs.

The ability to redeem an Access Token's physical counterpart will have an expiry deadline - which is exactly 1 year after the redemption period has been announced. After this time any unredeemed Access Tokens will be upgraded - both physically and digitally - to a new mystery product.

For example, the passive holder might choose to stake all their Access Tokens in the vault to maximise the long-term rewards in the form of amassing privileges, and possibly benefit from a product upgrade when the redemption ability expires. But if this holder exclusively pursues this tactic they may miss out on certain tokens of appreciation and events.

The active holder might choose to stake only some or none of their Access Tokens in the vault, depending on the risk/reward from different tokens of appreciation and experiences that may be available to them. However, if this pathway is adopted the holder may not earn enough privileges to access certain events or other benefits.

Only you can decide how far down a certain pathway you’re willing to go.

‘Passive’ and ‘active’ definitions of holder extend beyond staking. As mentioned, a considerable portion of the DEPARTMNT experience is made up of community participation, Access Token collecting and combining and utilising your Access Tokens to experience varied event types.

You can switch between ‘passive’ or ‘active’ whenever you want, and you can blend both approaches - remember it's all up to you. The DEPARTMNT Experience is like your life: a sum of choices.
