Coins can be earned in real-time on the track, through run payouts, by claiming achievements, or via Web3 token burns. *** ## :coin: 1. On-Track Collections (All Modes) Whenever you physically drive through a floating **Galaxy Coin** on the track, it is instantly credited to your wallet balance. * **Payout:** **1.0 Galaxy Coin** per pickup. * **Availability:** Spawns on tracks across most modes, providing an instant cash flow as you drive. *** ## 📈 2. Distance Run Payouts When a run ends (by crash or completion), you receive a payout of Galaxy Coins based on the distance you traveled. The payout calculation changes depending on the game mode: ### Endless Mode In Endless Mode, your distance payout scales with your selected game difficulty: * **Pleb Difficulty:** 1 Galaxy Coin per 200 meters (\~0.5 Coins per 100m). * **Lad Difficulty:** 1 Galaxy Coin per 100 meters (\~1.0 Coin per 100m). * **Chad Difficulty:** 1 Galaxy Coin per 66.6 meters (\~1.5 Coins per 100m). * *Requirement:* You must travel at least **100 meters** in a run to qualify for distance earnings. ### Asteroids Mode Asteroids Mode rewards players with step-up rates for surviving longer distances: * **Under 1000m:** 2 Galaxy Coins per 100 meters traveled. * **Over 1000m:** The rate increases every 1000 meters: * *1,000m to 1,999m:* 3 Galaxy Coins per 100m block. * *2,000m to 2,999m:* 4 Galaxy Coins per 100m block. * *3,000m to 3,999m:* 5 Galaxy Coins per 100m block (increasing rate progressively). ### Solo Chad Chase & Co-op Chase Chase runs reward coins based on distance, but payouts are **halved** compared to endless and multiplied by bot difficulty factors: * **Calculated Rate:** Base rate starts at 2 Coins per 100m for the first 500m, increasing by 1 Coin/100m for every 500m block reached afterwards. * **Difficulty Multipliers:** * *Pleb Bot:* 1.0x (total payout halved) * *Lad Bot:* 1.5x * *Chad Bot:* 2.0x ### Daily Challenges & Solana Highway These modes do not yield Galaxy Coins based on run distance. Instead, they are high-stakes tournaments where the single top performer on the leaderboard (exactly 1 winner) is rewarded directly in **SOL** on-chain: * **Chad or Lad Daily Challenge:** A bi-weekly generated track. Players get 1 daily attempt with standard base speed stats and 3 starting lives. The single fastest record holder (exactly 1 winner) claims the SOL reward. * **Solana Highway Weekly Challenge:** Requires a 100 Galaxy Coin entry fee per run. Players compete with custom speed/lives stats to set the fastest weekly completion time, with the single top player (exactly 1 winner) claiming the SOL reward. *** ## 🏆 3.

Go to the **Achievements** menu screen to claim them: | Badge Title | Unlock Condition | Reward (Galaxy Coins) | | ------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------- | | **PLEB** | Starter title | 10 Galaxy Coins | | **LAD** | Complete all 10 Pleb campaign levels | 50 Galaxy Coins | | **CHAD** | Complete all 30 Lad campaign levels | 100 Galaxy Coins | | **MAIN CHARACTER** | Reach the finish line as the CHAD runner in Solo Chad Chase | 100 Galaxy Coins | | **EXPLORER** | Reach 100,000m total Endless distance | 500 Galaxy Coins | | **OL' MATE** | Reach 20,000m total Co-op distance | 500 Galaxy Coins | | **ASTRO DEGEN** | Reach 20,000m total Asteroids distance | 500 Galaxy Coins | | **CLUTCH GOD** | Win a Chad Chase run with the bot under 15m behind | 500 Galaxy Coins | | **WINGMAN** | Reach 20,000m total co-op chase distance | 500 Galaxy Coins | | **NPC** | Complete 10 co-op chase matches | 200 Galaxy Coins | | **NI-KA** | Own the permanent 'NI-KA' vehicle skin | 1,000 Galaxy Coins | *** ## 🏡 4. Town Mode Passive Income Once you purchase a housing plot in **NI-KA Town**, it begins generating Galaxy Coins automatically: * **Yields:** Accumulates coins in real-time, yielding up to **451 Galaxy Coins per Hour** for a max Level 5 plot. See the [Housing Guide](broken://pages/7cd1e3f27b0f623269994e4524a22c25b32b8430) for individual level stats. *** ## 🔗 5.
