The integration of Waypoint is designed to appeal to both experienced web3 users and newcomers, removing many of the traditional barriers to blockchain participation and enhancing the overall accessibility of prediction markets within the Ronin ecosystem.

Reward Mechanisms and Active Participation
Forkast incorporates a reward system built around the CGX token, which incentivizes active participation within the platform. A core element of this system is the auto-staking of 50 percent of airdropped tokens, enabling users to earn weekly Loot Boxes. These Loot Boxes contain CGX tokens, prediction credits, and other incentives designed to encourage ongoing involvement in the Forkast ecosystem.
This rewards framework is part of Community Gaming’s broader strategy to support genuine contributions and foster an engaged community. By combining staking mechanics with accessible prediction markets, Forkast provides a compelling use case for web3 technology in gaming.
