1. Introduction
The following document describes the Spider Tanks Planetary NodeEcosystem. Planetary Nodes are a type of Game-Specific Node within
the Gala Games Ecosystem. They are designed to give Spider Tanks
players and supporters an exclusive and unique way to support Spider
Tanks for additional rewards.
1.1 Guiding Principles and Disclaimer
The Spider Tanks economy is player driven, and participants who win Spider Tanks matches
may receive Victory Points that can be submitted for game token reward distribution.
The game token of this ecosystem is SILK**, which is a fungible token on both the Ethereum
Network as well as Gala’s proprietary L1 blockchain, currently referred to as Project GYRI.
On Ethereum, SILK is an ERC-20 Token governed by contract
0xb045f7f363fe4949954811b113bd56d208c67b23This contract address governs SILK on the Ethereum network only. Tokens on Project GYRI
have different contract addresses and will be accessible through different indexers released
at a future date. An official bridge between blockchains is provided within a user’s Gala
Games account.
SILK is acquired by involving oneself in the Spider Tanks ecosystem through playing andwinning games, as well as by operating nodes and other products in the ecosystem. This
document provides a quick overview of these systems - how players can be rewarded withand use SILK, what governs its issuance, etc.

NOTE

Please note that this document is subject to change at any time. In particular,
the numbers provided here, unless otherwise specified, are for comparative
purposes only. All items may be subject to change as the game service andtokenomics evolve.

32. What is a Planetary Node?
Across metaversal dimensions in the reality of Gala Games, a Planetary
Node is a distributed workload that can be run from a Node operator’shome computer.
For running this distributed workload and hosting various aspects of Spider Tanks matches,
Node operators receive rewards as described in the Rewards section of this document.
Planetary Nodes are the primary cornerstone of the Spider Tanks ecosystem, and operation ofthem is thus rewarded with SILK.
Once live, a single Planetary Node can be run through the Gala Node Software. This Node canbe run on the same device as other Gala Nodes, as long as it’s the only Planetary Node, andas long as the workload requirements are met. It is anticipated that as the game grows, theworkload will grow as well.

43. The Node Queue
In every Spider Tanks match, a Planetary Node and a player-owned Map
are paired together in order for Victory Point rewards to be generated
for that match.
When a Planetary Node first becomes active, it always starts at the back of the Node Queue,
consisting of all active Planetary Nodes. When a Planetary Node reaches the front of theNode Queue, it is selected for the next match. If a Planetary Node goes offline, it loses its
place in the Node Queue.
Player-owned Maps are placed in a similar queue system: The Map Queue. Maps that reachthe front of this queue will be selected for the next match.
A Planetary Node and a player-owned Map do need to be paired together in order to generate
Victory Point rewards for a match. To be clear: Planetary Node operators do not need toown a Map to receive rewards through their Planetary Node, nor does a Map owner need tooperate a Planetary Node to receive Victory Point rewards from their Map. They will instead
get paired up using the queue system described above.
The initial plan is for each Node to start with one occupancy space in the Node Queue, withthe ability to upgrade to a total of 6 simultaneous occupancy spaces. See the Upgrades
section for more information.
This Node Queue flow is pictured below.

54. The Node Depot
If a Node operator also owns one or more Tank Body, Tank Weapon orMap NFTs, they can also opt to pair their NFTs with their own Planetary
Node by placing it in one of their Planetary Node’s Depot spaces.
By pairing their own NFT with a Planetary Node they operate, a player can generate additional
VP rewards when that NFT receives VP rewards. In the case of a Tank Weapon or Body, thatmeans being utilized directly by the owner in matchmaking, or being used by Pilots as a partof the Pilot Program. For Maps, that means being paired with a Planetary Node via the MapQueue as described in The Node Queue section above.
Pairing a Tank Weapon or Body with a Planetary Node doesn’t prevent it from being utilized
by the owner or being placed into the Pilot Program. Likewise, pairing a Map with a Planetary
Node doesn’t prevent it from being placed in the Map Queue.
Initially, each Node Depot will have a single permanent space that is included with thePlanetary Node license. In the future, it is planned that the Node Depot can be upgradedto a total of 6 spaces. Other than the initial permanent space, all other spaces can only
be unlocked on a temporary basis. In other words, each Node Depot Upgrade Item will
temporarily allow the operator an additional space in the Depot. See the Upgrades section for
more information.

65. Rewards
The structure by which active Planetary Nodes receive daily rewards issplit into two different mechanisms.
As described in the The Node Queue section, all active Planetary Nodes wait in the NodeQueue. This is similar to the Map Queue, in which all player-owned Maps wait to hostmatches.
For every match, the next Map in the Map Queue is paired automatically with the next
Planetary Node in the Node Queue. Planetary Node operators will generate a base number ofVPs for each match they host while Map Owners will generate VPs based on their level. Oncethe match is completed, VP rewards are distributed.
The other way active Planetary Nodes are rewarded is by pairing owned NFTs to the Planetary
Node via the Depot as described in The Node Depot section above.
By pairing their own NFT with a Planetary Node they operate, a player can generate additional
VP rewards when that NFT is used. In the case of a Tank Weapon or Body, that means being
utilized directly by the owner in matchmaking, or being used by Pilots as a part of the Pilot
Program. For Maps, that means being paired with a Planetary Node via the Map Queue as
described in The Node Queue section above.
Nodes must be online at least 6 hours each day to be eligible for any rewards for that day.
While Spider Tanks players and Map owners must win a daily battle to unlock their daily SILK
rewards, Planetary Nodes receive rewards for the computing resources they provide to agiven match. This means that aside from the Planetary Node remaining active for 6 hours
each day, there are no further obligations for a Planetary Node operator to be eligible for SILK
rewards.
Planetary Node rewards will be affected by the Honor system (as introduced in the Spider
Tanks Lite Paper). However, operating a Planetary Node will offer a bonus to Honor scoreeach day.

76. Upgrades
Planetary Nodes are the first upgradeable Node in the Gala Ecosystem,
although full upgrade functionality may not be available with initiallaunch.
By upgrading their Planetary Nodes, operators can increase the number of occupancy
spaces for that Node in the Node Queue as described in the The Node Queue section above.
Operators can also increase the number of spaces in their Node Depot in which they can
assign an NFT as described in The Node Depot section above.
For example, by spending either SILK, GALA, or a combination thereof, a Planetary Nodeoperator will have the ability to upgrade and gain up to 5 additional occupancy spaces in theNode Queue or 5 additional spots in the Node Depot.
Upgrades for Planetary Nodes have not currently been implemented in the game and areplanned for future release.

87. Additional Info
7.1 Factories
The current plan is that Planetary Nodes will also potentially power player-owned Factories in
the future, although the specifics on how this will work are to be determined.
More information about how Factories will work in the game will become available in futureversions of the Spider Tanks Lite Paper.

7.2 Workload
These are the anticipated initial specs to run a Planetary Node:
4 GB RAM
2 CPU Cores
60 GB disk space
10 MBit up/down connection
While the initial release of Planetary Nodes will be a lighter version, the eventual goal isto enable distributed hosting of matches through our Planetary Node network. Additional
information will be shared in greater detail in future versions of this document.
