Cross The Ages has always promised more than just a digital trading-card game. Season 4 finally makes good on that by rebuilding the economy around player activity, ownership, and fair reward — all powered by Solana.
The End of Grinding for Little Return
Gone are the days of complicated, opaque reward systems. The new VIP Program works on a simple principle: the more you play and stake, the more you earn. Every match, purchase, and marketplace action now generates Orbs of Echo and Orbs of Sealing, the new reward tokens that can be redeemed for exclusive packs, cards, and bonuses.
No more static leaderboards — the program resets weekly, letting active players rise quickly without being crushed by long-time whales.
CTALS: Staking Made Simple
CTA’s tokenomics overhaul also introduces CTALS, a liquid staking token built on Solana’s SPL standard. Converting $CTA → CTALS locks your tokens into the game’s economy instantly, and unstaking is as straightforward as clicking “withdraw” (with a 28-day cooldown). This lowers the barrier for players who’ve never touched DeFi before — no complicated wallets, no external dashboards, just play and earn.
All your staking rewards, VIP payouts, and marketplace royalties flow directly into a unified CTAVAULT on your profile. It’s a one-stop treasury for everything you own or earn in CTA.
Equal Ground for Everyone
A big win for newcomers: multi-account farming is gone. KYC verification ensures each player has one account, one identity, and a fair shot. The new Eternal Multiplier (EM) means your collection power, not the number of accounts, defines your yield.
For collectors and investors, CTA now supports card rental on-chain — allowing you to lend out cards for $CTA while helping others climb the ladder. It’s a genuine player-driven economy, not a speculative loop.
Why It Matters
The CTA team, together with Animoca Brands, is building something rare: a Web3 economy that feels intuitive. The systems are there for those who want to dig deep, but newcomers can still just log in, play, and watch their assets evolve organically.
Solana’s speed and near-zero fees finally make that vision practical. Season 4 isn’t only “Dawn of War” — it’s the dawn of a sustainable in-game economy that rewards skill, not spreadsheets.
