Hello racers and crypto gamers! Get ready to dive into an exciting feature of Moon Karts that’s not just about burning rubber—it’s also about strategy, staking, and maximizing your play-to-earn edge. I’m going to walk you through the Auto Vault & Academy system, and show how savvy players can turn unused cards into fuel (and future rewards).
Auto Vault: Card Staking for Fuel
The Auto Vault is a core mechanic in Moon Karts where you stake unused cards to generate fuel, the resource you need for racing. The fuel you gain depends on the rarity and type of the cards you stake—higher rarity cards generate faster.
This means your card collection isn’t just for show—it’s a resource pool. If you’ve got rare drivers or parts sitting idle, staking them smartly in the Auto Vault turns them into fuel-earning machines.
Mechanics & strategies
Here are some of the key rules you’ll want to be aware of:
Cards must be staked for a minimum duration before they generate fuel. If you unstake early, you face a cooldown before you can use them in races.
Fuel generation uses a formula: the combined rates of all staked cards determine how much fuel you make. So stacking many lower-rate cards might not beat a few high-rarity ones.
In addition to cards, you must stake at least 10 Script tokens (the stablecoin) per additional card slot in the Auto Vault. Over time you can upgrade the Vault further using Scripts and COLONY tokens to boost your fuel potential.
In short: optimize your slot usage + card rarity + token stakes = more fuel.
Fuel Usage & Management
Fuel is vital because without it, you can’t participate in multiplayer races. But there’s a catch: you have a storage capacity for fuel; any fuel generated above that cap is wasted. Also, better cars (and higher rarity) consume more fuel per race.
So while it’s tempting to stake many cards and build up fuel, you must actively use the fuel or expand your capacity—otherwise your gains sit idle.
The Academy: Coming Soon Rewards Hub
The Academy is the upcoming dashboard where you’ll stake cards (again) to earn Airdrop Points. These points accumulate over time and are redeemable for card airdrops—things like drivers, boosters, and parts. When you claim a drop, your points reduce accordingly.
In effect, the Academy is another dimension of assetutilization—cards that might not be optimal for racing still possess value via staking to earn drops.
Final Thoughts
If you’re serious about maximizing your value in Moon Karts, you’ll want to view your cards not just as game pieces but as assets: stake what you don’t use, monitor your fuel cap, optimize your vault slots, and look ahead to the Academy. It’s a smart interplay of collection, strategy, and active participation.
