Engines will provide the fundamental distributed framework of the Galaxis ecosystem and help the Galaxis community with services and infrastructure. Among other utilities, one of the first things that engines will provide to the Galaxis community is the actual launchkeys.
Launchkeys are the tokens that are needed to create a Galaxis community.
So, if you are a content creator, artist, actor, athlete, YouTuber, cosplayer, or anybody else and you want to create a Galaxis community, you need to get a launchkey.
Launchkeys will be generated by the engines and will be aggregated into a distributed store from where anybody can buy them.
When somebody who wants to create a community buys a launchkey, the engine that created that particular launchkey will receive payment for it.
So, this is one of the utilities that engines provide, and it is a service that engines will benefit from.
Getting a community created by a launchkey generated by an engine can be very beneficial for the engines as well, because the engine holder can get a royalty from the community as a reward for building up the community and being active on the platform.
So the same way an artist or an active supporter might get a royalty from providing for its community, the engine operator who actively builds and participates in the long term will be able to claim a royalty as a reward for their services to the community.
There will be many engines, but engines will have different launchkey generation power.
What we want to do is that while the whole ecosystem builds up, we want to benefit the original Galaxis community.
So, in the first phase, launchkey generation power will be affected mostly by how many Ether Cards and other Galaxis assets Engine Operators hold.
So this will be a utility of Ether Cards: providing your engine more launchkey generation power. This is the first phase for the engines.
After a while, as the platform grows, there will be new criteria added to benefit engine operators that are actively providing services for communities.
For now, we have two different functions and two different power algorithms.
Engines can generate utility tokens, and Engines can generate launchkeys.
