# Degen Mode

Degen Mode is the high-stakes, high-reward way to play *Your Stupid Monkey Pet*. It transforms minigames from casual fun into competitive opportunities, letting players amplify their XP gains and unlock exclusive rewards in collaboration with blockchain campaigns such as Taiko Trailblazers and the Abstract airdrop.&#x20;

### How It Works

* Tickets Required: Every minigame match in Degen Mode requires at least one ticket to participate.
* XP Rewards: After completing a minigame, you’ll earn XP based on your performance (the better you play, the more XP you gain).
* Daily Cap: To keep competition fair, there’s a daily limit on how much XP you can earn in this mode.

### Multipliers with Tickets

Tickets don’t just grant entry, they power your multipliers.

* One Ticket = Standard Rewards
* Multiple Tickets = Higher Multipliers
  * Example: Use 100 tickets in a single match to receive a 10× multiplier on your XP payout.

This system lets players decide how risky or rewarding each game session will be.

### Tickets as ERC-1155 Tokens

Tickets are ERC-1155 tokens, making them true blockchain assets.

* Ownership: Once you own tickets, they’re in your wallet: tradeable, sellable, and usable in-game.
* Acquisition: Buy them directly from the in-game shop or on external marketplaces.
* Utility: Tickets are burned when used in minigames.

### Campaign Integration

Degen Mode is directly tied to *Your Stupid Monkey Pet*’s broader Web3 initiatives:

* Taiko Trailblazers Rewards: XP gained in Degen Mode can contribute toward exclusive Trailblazer points.

By engaging in Degen Mode, you’re not just competing for in-game XP, you’re earning a stake in the larger *StupidMonkeys* ecosystem.
