# Proprietary Algorithms

Bounty Temple's Proprietary Algorithms are the cornerstones of the P2EE model. Currently, 2 inter-related algorithms called the Weather Effect and Barrier Effect are employed; the former is used to control the price and supply of $GIA, while the latter serves to protect the value of BTMs.

## Weather Effect

The Weather Effect plays a vital role in ensuring the price stability of $GIA. The algorithm will be activated when the ratio of $GIA minted versus $GIA burned reaches a pre-defined threshold.

There are 4 tiers with different minting rate reductions:

* **Sunny**: -20% minting rate
* **Cloudy**: -40% minting rate
* **Rainy**: -60% minting rate
* **Stormy**: -80% minting rate

#### The Algorithm

* Under normal circumstances: Total $GIA burned = (Total $GIA minted) x2
* Minted $GIA will be stored in the Pool
* The token burning rate will be monitored by the $GIA Burn Meter, which will show the ratio of the $GIA in the Pool versus the daily $GIA withdrawal amount
* The Weather Effect will be activated when the amount of $GIA in the Pool falls **below 55% in a 24-hour period**, thus slowing down the minting rate accordingly

## Barrier Effect

The Barrier Effect is designed to help newcomers to the game reap the same amount of benefits as players who have early access to the game, thus helping Bounty Temple maintain a healthy player acquisition versus dropout rate.

#### The Algorithm

* When new BTMs are crafted, the player has the option to activate the Barrier Effect, which will be in effect for 75 days
* When the Barrier Effect is activated, new BTMs will be immune to the Weather Effect, ensuring that earnings are not affected for players with new BTMs
