# Game Rules

\
Welcome to VortexEngineDAO, an exciting digital gaming platform that offers two different game modes: Long Term Mode and Upcoming Quick Mode. Each mode has its own unique rules and characteristics. Here are the core mechanics that are common in the game:\
\
**Core game currency: CHIP**

At VortexEngineDAO, CHIPs are the soul of the game. You can purchase CHIPs directly through smart contracts, and each CHIP will profoundly affect the progress and endgame of the game.\
\
**Countdown timer: strategy is crucial**

There is a timer in the game that keeps counting down until it returns to zero. Each CHIP purchase will increase the timer's time. In the long-term mode, for example, each CHIP purchase will increase by 30 seconds. This means that your purchase decision will play a key role in the game, as it directly affects when the game ends.\
\
**Instant Dividend: Stable Passive Income**

The game encourages players to keep buying CHIP, as each new purchase brings immediate dividends to the current CHIP holder, which will provide them with a steady passive income until the end of the round.\
\
**CHIP Price Increase: Prize Pool Increase**

The price of a CHIP will gradually increase as the game progresses, related to the value of the final prize pool. Each CHIP ensures that you receive a portion of the exit bonus at the end of the game, and when someone wins, a large amount of USDT winnings from the final prize pool will be returned to you in the form of dividends.\
\
**Game over: winner and prize pool distribution**

When the timer goes to zero, the last player to purchase the CHIP will receive half of the USDT in the prize pool and end the round. Once the game is over, the remaining USDT in the prize pool will be distributed to the players who participated in the round, CHIP holders, community contributors and Vortex EngineDAO holders.VortexEngineDAO provides players with an engaging digital gaming experience through unique game mechanics. Whether you're a pro gamer or a robust risk-averse player, you'll find a way to participate here that meets your needs.
