Fair Play and Anti-Bot Design

Why Fair Play Matters

Games that involve real value attract automation. This is not hypothetical. It is guaranteed.

When bots dominate:

• Honest players are pushed out
• Rewards lose meaning
• Progression feels unfair
• Trust collapses quickly

LOOTCoin is designed to prevent this outcome from the start. Fair play means that effort matters, presence matters, and one person cannot cheaply become many.

The Threat Model

LOOTCoin assumes the following realities:

• Wallets can be automated
• Scripts can sign transactions
• Bots can mimic basic user behavior
• Incentives attract abuse faster than communities grow

The system does not rely on trust in the client. It assumes adversarial conditions and designs around them.

Human Participation as a Requirement

LOOTCoin does not attempt to prove who someone is. It focuses on proving that someone is present.

The goal is not identity. The goal is participation by a real human, in real time and in real space. This distinction allows LOOTCoin to remain accessible while still enforcing fairness.

Liveness Verification

LOOTCoin uses liveness checks to ensure a real human is interacting with the system.

This approach:

• Prevents mass account creation
• Raises the cost of automation
• Makes bot farms impractical
• Preserves accessibility for normal players

Liveness checks are not traditional identity verification and are not designed to collect personal identity information. They exist solely to protect the game and its players.

Session-Based Security

A liveness check alone is not enough. Proof of humanity must persist beyond a single moment.

After successful liveness verification:

• A short-lived session token is issued
• Sensitive gameplay actions require a valid session
• Sessions expire and must be renewed

This ensures that gameplay actions remain tied to an actively verified human session. Automation cannot simply pass a check once and run indefinitely.

Realistic GPS-Based Movement

LOOTCoin incorporates realistic movement analysis based on GPS data as an additional fairness signal. The system evaluates whether player movement:

• Matches plausible human travel speed
• Follows continuous and realistic paths
• Aligns with time and distance constraints

This makes common automation tactics ineffective, including:

• Teleporting between distant locations
• Simulating impossible travel speeds
• Running scripted location loops

GPS-based validation does not require precise tracking beyond what is necessary for gameplay. It is used to confirm realism, not to invade privacy.

One Player, One Presence

LOOTCoin is designed to strongly discourage multi-account abuse. Through a combination of:

• Liveness checks
• Session expiration
• Realistic GPS movement validation
• Backend verification
• Rate limiting and behavioral signals

The system makes operating many accounts costly, unreliable, and unattractive. This protects honest players and preserves the integrity of progression and rewards.

Server-Validated Gameplay

When rewards matter, client-only logic becomes a liability.

LOOTCoin validates meaningful state changes on the backend:

• Reward claims
• Progression updates
• Asset distribution
• Session-bound actions

The client is responsive and user-friendly, but it is not trusted as the final authority. This design prevents manipulation without harming the player experience.

Fairness Without Excessive Friction

Security that frustrates real players is not fair play.

LOOTCoin is designed to:

• Front-load trust through verification
• Allow smooth play during valid sessions
• Revalidate only when necessary
• Avoid constant interruptions

Most players will never think about anti-bot systems. They will only notice that the game feels fair.

Why This Matters for Real Value

LOOTCoin distributes assets that matter: Stablecoins, Partner tokens, Non-game NFTs, and other digital assets.

When real value is involved, fairness is non-negotiable. Anti-bot design ensures:

• Rewards reach real people
• Partners reach genuine users
• Early players are not diluted
• The economy remains credible

Fair Play Is Ongoing

Anti-bot design is not static.

LOOTCoin treats fair play as a living system that evolves as threats evolve. The architecture is modular so protections can be improved without breaking gameplay or existing assets.

Fairness is not a promise. It is an ongoing commitment.

Closing

LOOTCoin does not try to eliminate abuse entirely. That is unrealistic.

Instead, it focuses on making fair play the default and abuse the worst possible strategy.

• If value exists, effort should matter.
• If rewards exist, humans should earn them.
• If a game is worth playing, it should be worth protecting.

That is the foundation of LOOTCoin’s fair play design.
