Therefore the players can mint new Knights as NFTs. To mint a new Knight, the player must consume a Off-Chain Knight in their game account and pay the minting fees. ### Minting Fee is Determined by the IKO Floor Price The fee for minting a new Knight will be **higher than the lowest winning price from the Initial Knight Offering**. We currently target it to be 30% percent higher. Therefore if the lowest winning price in the IKO is $50 USD, the minting fee for a new Knight will be $65 USD. By this way, all participants in the IKO have a reasonable **advantage of getting in early**. ### Minting Fee goes up with Time Since Knights do not have a fixed amount, the cost of minting a new Knight is designed to go up with time in order to **prevent the new Knights from diluting the value of older Knights**. **Every time 100 new Knights are minted, the minting price goes up by $1 USD.** By this way, if IKO Floor Price is $50 USD, the 100,000th Knight would cost $965 USD to mint. We believe with this minting mechanism, **early adopters are incentivized** while new players can still get their own Knight without having to pay an absurd amount of money upfront. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
