1. Preparation

Before using Metatime, you need to have an NFT avatar and a certain amount of Time tokens.

1.1 Mint and customize an NFT avatar

First, you will need an NFT drawing board. The board can be bought with 10,000 DSGAF (DSG Avatar Fragment). If you don’t have the DSGAF, just head to https://dsgmetaverse.com/#/swap to exchange for the tokens.

Next, click on [Token] next to [My bag], and click on [Synthesis] on the DSGAF row to obtain an NFT drawing board.

On the left side bar, click on [Pick Avatar] under [NFT] to customize a personal NFT avatar. There are various feature choices under different categories such as body, headdress, eyes, and so on. Please do take your time to arrange an Avatar that best represents you! Once you are satisfied with your design, just hit [Enable NFT]. Please note that you need to wait until a transaction goes through. After [Enable NFT] turns into [Mint], click it and secure a special NFT avatar!

After you see the confirmation message below, congratulations! And you have your avatar in your wallet!

1.2 Create a user profile at Metatime

Now head to https://metatime.social/ and click on [Enter app] at the upper right corner.

Click on [Create] and you will see your avatar showing up. After approving, select your avatar and click on [Next step].

Type a nickname and fill in your inviter’s address (optional), and click on [Next step].

After confirming the transaction and signing, your registration is fully complete! Click on [next step], and follow some popular users (optional), and click on [complete]. Congratulations, and welcome to Metatime!

2. Use Metatime

2.1 Recharge $TIME

If it’s your first time to log into Metatime, a warning message will pop up to remind you that you don’t have enough balance of $TIME tokens that are required to browse platform information. Just click on [Recharge] and exchange for $TIME using $DSG.

The system will redirect you to [TIME Exchange] page to complete the exchange. For a starter, just exchage 10 to 100 $DSG for $TIME first, and this will be sufficient to familiarize yourself with various functions of Metatime. Please note that if you don’t have $DSG, you can always head to https://dsgmetaverse.com/#/swap to swap for $DSG using $BNB, $USDT, or other popular tokens.

Next, heading to Wallet Assets to approve $TIME, and then recharge certain amount of $TIME to unlock your Metatime journey!

2.2 Dashboard navigation

After your recharge is successful, congratulations! You just unlock the full functionality of Metatime!

Now let us take a look at the user dashboard by clicking on [Back].

There are several sections. Section 1 looks largely like other traditional social platforms, where you can check your Tribe updates, daily tasks, the latest posts, and so on. Section 2 is related to wallet and token. Please keep track of your [$TIME Balance], and you can exchange for a variety of tokens here. In section 3 you can set your notification preferences and security levels.

Please note that more profile settings will be available if you click on the arrow next to your avatar.

2.3 Begin your Metatime journey

Now you are all set, and you can freely write posts or browse the posts of the people you are following.

There are a few places you may want to check out to earn rewards. First, under [Task] you will have a list of daily tasks, upon completion of which you will be rewarded different amounts of $MATTER or $TIME according to the levels of difficulties of tasks.

Second, Metatime provides a convenient way for you to stake earned $TIME. Just navigate to [Wallet] and [Time Staking]. The current APRs appear to be rewarding, so we do encourage you to take advantage of the high APRs and stake your $TIME!

3. A few notices

3.1 Rewarding rules of $TIME and $MATTER

$TIME. When a user is reading a post, his/her $TIME will be deducted at 1 $TIME per second based on the current design. However, this is subject to changes with the governance of the decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) in the future. More detailed deduction rules are shown below:

- Reading a post: 1 $TIME per second, and the maximum amount is 60 $TIME;

- Browsing: refreshing or scrolling down for more posts will cost a certain amount of $TIME*;

- About the same post: repeatedly reading the same post within 24 hours will not cost additional $TIME. After 24 hours, consumption will be recalculated; and

- Read your own post or use settings will not cost any $TIME.

Deducted $TIME will be allocated according to the following rules:

- 50%: Content creator;

- 10%: Burning;

- 10%: DAO pools; and

- 30%: $TIME staking users.

$MATTER. The tokens to reward users who complete daily tasks. Current list of the tasks is shown below:

- Daily log in records;

- Daily posting activities;

- Daily comments on other posts;

- Daily likes;

- Daily consumption of $TIME; and

- Daily gains of $TIME.

Please be aware that daily tasks will be reset at 4 pm UTC.

3.2 Withdrawal limits of $TIME and $MATTER rewards

Please do observe the withdrawal limits of $TIME and $MATTER rewards. Users may check withdrawable amounts in the relevant section on the [Wallet Assets] page (highlighted below). However, tips are directly credited into users’ wallets and exempted from withdrawal limits.
