Open Protocol & Economy

SAB runs on an open protocol - anyone can create equipment packs that work in the game. Companies, entities, and individuals can build their own packs following the same economic model (treasury fees + burn mechanisms).

$SLAM extends beyond the game itself - it's part of Solana's open economy. All game assets (packs, equipment, fish) are tradeable NFTs that can be bought/sold on open markets.

Key Economic Principles​

🌐 Open Protocol: Anyone can create packs that integrate with SAB. All pack sales (including 3rd party) contribute to protocol treasury and burn mechanisms.

🔄 Circular Economy: $SLAM flows in a continuous cycle from market purchase → equipment → fishing → rewards → reinvestment

⚖️ Supply & Demand Balance:

  • Supply: Fish rewards generate new $SLAM
  • Demand: Pack purchases remove $SLAM from circulation
  • Equilibrium: System designed for sustainable long-term balance

🎯 Strategic Decision Points: Every fish catch creates a critical choice - stake for passive income or sell for immediate reinvestment

💎 Open Asset Trading: All game assets (equipment, fish, packs) are tradeable NFTs with real market value

🎯 $SLAM Optimization Tips​

Maximize Earnings​

✅ Do This:

  • Fish consistently - more fishing = more fish = more $SLAM
  • Stake valuable fish - passive income compounds
  • Upgrade strategically - better equipment = better fish = more $SLAM
  • Time pack purchases - buy when you need specific upgrades

❌ Avoid This:

  • Hoarding $SLAM - inflation erodes holding value
  • Panic spending - random pack purchases waste $SLAM
  • Selling everything - you miss out on staking income
  • Ignoring equipment - bad gear limits earning potential

Track Your Performance​

Key Metrics to Monitor:

  • Daily $SLAM earned from staking
  • Weekly pack ROI (fish value vs pack cost)
  • Equipment upgrade impact on fishing success
  • Overall $SLAM balance growth

❓ Common $SLAM Questions​

"Should I save $SLAM or spend it on packs?"

  • Early game: Spend aggressively to build equipment
  • Mid/late game: Balance upgrades with savings
  • General rule: Don't hold more than 2-3 weeks of pack budget

"Is it better to stake or sell fish?"

  • Stake: Rare+ fish for long-term income
  • Sell: Common/duplicate fish for immediate pack funding
  • Context matters: Consider your current $SLAM needs

"How much should I budget for packs?"

  • Beginners: 200-400 $SLAM for initial equipment
  • Regular players: 20-30% of weekly fish earnings
  • Advanced players: Opportunistic based on specific needs

"Will $SLAM lose value over time?"

  • Design intent: Maintain purchasing power through game growth
