Aviator Flightpaper 2026

Aviator

Aviator Arcade™ is a Web2.5 game platform and marketplace built on Ethereum that gives developers a direct path to publish, monetize, and scale without hosting fees, KYC, expensive processing fees, and slow onboarding.

Modern game distribution is controlled by a handful of platforms and payment processors that dictate what developers can build, how they monetize, and which audiences they are allowed to serve. Major storefronts enforce tight content restrictions, and payment processors frequently pressure marketplaces to remove or suppress adult, controversial, or graphic content regardless of legality. Revenue can be frozen, delisted, or reversed without warning. Developers carry chargeback risk, settlement delays, regional restrictions, and arbitrary enforcement decisions.

Aviator Arcade replaces this model with instant and programmable blockchain payments.

• Transactions are final, global, and not subject to unilateral reversal.
• Developers are paid directly.
• Content is not shaped by the preferences of intermediaries.
• Monetization is embedded at the protocol level.

Developers can deploy games directly to Aviator Arcade, retain competitive royalties, and integrate seamless crypto-native payments without building custom infrastructure. For players, Aviator Arcade transforms classic gameplay into competition, ownership, and identity.

Players can enjoy free games, compete for tokenized prizes in competitive titles, collect rare in-game collectibles, and personalize their profiles to make their page something to be proud of.

Aviator Arcade is inherently social. Leaderboards, competitive events, collectible drops, and recurring prize campaigns create return loops that bring players back regularly. Participation is rewarded not only with digital assets, but also with exclusive digital prizes tied to performance and engagement. Developers benefit from this persistent social layer as players return to compete, collect, and discover new games within the same ecosystem.

The AVI token powers this economy by aligning developers, players, and governance within a unified framework designed to reward contribution and participation.

Who We Are

Aviator is a technology company focused on building censorship resistant, payment native infrastructure for interactive entertainment. We design systems that give developers direct access to their users and give players meaningful ownership within digital ecosystems.

We believe in the right of creators to freely monetize their content, and the right of consumers to actually own what they pay for.

Aviator develops and maintains the Aviator Arcade network and its associated infrastructure, and we are committed to building durable systems that serve publishers and consumers better than the major outlets of today.

Compliant by Design

Aviator Arcade is designed to operate with full regulatory compliance.

Non-Custodial Architecture

The platform does not custody user funds and cannot take back what is yours. Users retain control of their assets at all times. Transactions settle directly on Ethereum and supported Layer 2 networks through smart contracts, reducing intermediary risk and eliminating custodial exposure.

Operational Safeguards

Smart contract roles are clearly defined and limited through role-based permissions. Administrative functions are protected by multisignature controls. Upgrade paths are structured to reduce unilateral authority and improve operational resilience.

Regulatory Alignment

Aviator is designed with awareness of evolving digital asset regulatory frameworks, including applicable considerations under GENIUS, MiCA, DORA, FinCEN guidance, as well as the upcoming CLARITY Act. The platform architecture minimizes custodial exposure and aligns with principles of transparency, auditability, and responsible operation within applicable jurisdictions.

Aviator Token

Aviator's AVI token is the native utility token of Aviator Arcade. It is permissionless, with no administrative control.

Core Utilities

• Governance Participation: AVI holders can propose and vote on ecosystem decisions, including platform features, event structures, and platform rules.
• Staking Rewards: AVI can be staked to support the platform. Stakers earn rewards and multipliers for contributing to the integrity and activity of the platform.
• Arcade Usage: AVI functions as the native asset within Aviator Arcade for leaderboards, competitions, and tournaments. It is used to settle prizes, rewards, and event participation.
• Network Fees: AVI is used to pay protocol fees, maintaining alignment of incentives and supporting the ongoing operation of the network.

Aviator Arcade™

Instant Onboarding

Players and creators can sign up in less than 5 seconds: no KYC, no credit cards, and no platform gatekeepers required. This rapid onboarding ensures users can start playing, creating, or buying content immediately, reducing friction compared to traditional gaming or marketplace platforms. By removing unnecessary barriers, Aviator Arcade captures casual and hardcore audiences faster than competing platforms.

Aviator Arcade supports three core game categories, each designed to attract different audiences and drive engagement across the ecosystem.

Free Games

Free Games are accessible to all users at no cost and remain free to play indefinitely. These titles are ad-supported, providing developers with revenue while lowering barriers to entry for new players. Free Games distribute digital collectibles, site badges, and Foxtails (site loyalty points), introducing players to Aviator Arcade and onboarding them into the ecosystem. This category serves as the primary driver for user acquisition and retention.

Competition Games

Competition Games are structured, skill-based microgames that feature daily and weekly leaderboards. Developers can schedule prize distributions for any day, creating flexible incentive structures. These games can also feature digital collectibles, site badges, and Foxtails rewards.

Players engage using "Credits" (AVI) or "Cash" (USDC), with a small fee applied to both. Payouts are always issued in Credits, which can be redeemed for Cash for a convenience fee, or withdrawn to the open market as AVI tokens. This dual system allows Web2 users to interact with blockchain-native rewards without requiring prior crypto experience, while ensuring positive alignment between AVI and USDC.

Premium Games / Content Marketplace

The Premium category functions as a marketplace for permanent games, mods, and other miscellaneous digital content. Users can purchase content using cards or crypto, with payments automatically settled to developer accounts as USDC. Developers can withdraw earnings to traditional bank accounts, PayPal, or external wallets via integrated financial widgets.

Premium Games attract indie developers and small studios seeking an onchain distribution and monetization solution while preserving a familiar purchasing experience. Purchased content can be downloaded directly or accessed via license keys as determined by the creator.

Creative Marketplace

The Aviator Marketplace supports permanent digital content and creative works, such as digital artwork, manga, doujin, animations, video, and more. While originally designed for Premium Games, the Marketplace is being rethought to support a wider range of content:

• Digital Games & Mods: Indie and studio titles, game expansions, mods, licensed content…
• Digital Collectibles & Art: Comics, doujinshi, animations, illustrations, avatar materials, NFT art…
• 3D Models & Creator Assets: 3D-printable models, schematics, and asset packs for games, applications, creative projects bases…
• Utility Assets: Templates, plugins, reusable digital content…

Payment & Settlement

• Purchases can be made with Credits (AVI) or Cash (USDC).
• Content creators receive instant settlement without requiring users to handle wallets directly.
• Marketplace transactions are fully permissionless, and creators can withdraw earnings to a wallet of their choice, keeping the ecosystem decentralized and transparent.
• Content purchased in the Marketplace is persistent and linked to user profiles.
• Marketplace items can interact with Achievements, Foxtails, Leaderboards, and the Avatar Maker, extending collectible and engagement loops across the platform.

Collectibles and Digital Content

Foxtails

Foxtails are a unifying points system that reward players and participants for meaningful activity across the Aviator ecosystem, including within Aviator Arcade. They are designed to deepen engagement, link platform interactions, and provide redeemable social and utility value beyond in‑game achievement.

Foxtails are not a token, have no cash value, and are non‑transferable.

What Foxtails Reward

Users earn Foxtails for a wide range of interactions across the Aviator ecosystem, including:

• Playing games on Aviator Arcade
• Publishing games as a developer
• Bridging tokens via SkyBridge
• Engaging with achievements and site badges
• Staking AVI tokens
• Buying content on the Marketplace
• Participating in quests, tournaments, seasonal events, and sponsorships
• Interacting with governance through the Aviator DAO
• Other onchain activities from Aviator or our partners

Foxtails can be redeemed for future drops, exclusive perks, site badges, and real‑world merchandise from The Hangar as the ecosystem grows.

Achievements and Site Badges

Achievements and Site Badges are collectible digital items that recognize and reward player engagement within Aviator Arcade. They are tied to Foxtails, creating a direct link between player activity, onchain collectibles, and ecosystem rewards.

Achievements

• Earned directly through gameplay and platform interaction.
• Fully user-generated: developers can design game-specific Achievements, which players earn by completing challenges.
• Optional minting: players can mint Achievements as NFTs to trade or showcase outside their profile.
• Foxtails integration: each Achievement carries a Foxtails value. Minting the NFT freezes these points, and trading transfers them with the NFT.

Site Badges

• Awarded directly by Aviator for platform-wide milestones, participation, or contributions.
• Optional minting: like Achievements, Site Badges can be minted as NFTs, traded, and burned to reapply to a profile.

Foxtails Mechanics in Achievements and Badges

• When a collectible is minted, its Foxtails points are temporarily frozen.
• When the collectible is burned and applied back to a profile, Foxtails points are unlocked and spendable.
• Trading collectibles moves them between wallets, carrying the frozen Foxtails points until they are burned and applied to a profile again.
• Reminting a burned collectible resets its Foxtails points to zero, preventing double-counting and maintaining a consistent point economy.

Game Engines and Developer Onboarding

Aviator Arcade provides tools and infrastructure for developers to integrate their games with the platform. Currently, integration is primarily focused on Competition Games, ensuring seamless participation in leaderboards, Foxtails rewards, and achievement tracking.

Engine Support

Aviator Arcade currently offers plugin packages for Unity, with planned future support for Unreal, Godot, and more. This enables developers to submit player scores to leaderboards, track and distribute Achievement unlocks, integrate tokenized or non-tokenized rewards, and earn passive Credits for plays by users in Competition Games.

Free Games support even more engines, providing simplified integration for onboarding new players. Marketplace content can be delivered in any format since these titles are purchased and downloaded directly by players.

Leaderboards

Leaderboards are a core engagement and reward mechanism within Aviator Arcade, providing persistent metrics of player performance across all games. All games feature daily, weekly, and all-time leaderboards, allowing players to track progress and compete at multiple time scales. Competition Games specifically prioritize the weekly leaderboard, which drives prize distribution and incentivizes recurring play.

Developers configure a game's epoch, defining the weekly leaderboard reset and prize distribution schedule. For example, a developer can set the leaderboard to reset every Tuesday at 00:00 UTC, automatically awarding top performers. By staggering epochs across different games, every single day of the week sees prize distributions. Epoch configuration ensures predictable, automated reward flows and allows developers to coordinate competitions and events efficiently.

Prizes are delivered in Credits (AVI) to the top-ranking players. Foxtails are also awarded based on leaderboard performance for further user retention. Additionally, all leaderboard scores can be shared to timelines or other social platforms, promoting cross-platform visibility and user-driven marketing.

User-Created Content

Aviator Arcade provides a rich social layer that integrates user content, customization, and interaction directly into the platform, creating persistent, player-driven profiles and community spaces.

Advanced Profile Customization

• Profile Header: Display Foxtails balance, upload a PFP, link an NFT, or use the Arcade Avatar Maker. Avatars are composed of unlockable parts that players earn or trade. Headers support custom colors, banners, and backgrounds.
• Themes & Colors: Players can select from preset theme colors or create custom palettes for a fully personalized profile experience.
• Custom Pages ("My Homepage"): Users can create sandbox-style HTML pages with CSS to showcase featured links, bios, embeds, pinned content, and more. These pages are persistent and sharable, functioning as full-profile expansions for users to build out their creative or consumer presences.

Site Avatar Maker

The Site Avatar Maker allows users to create, customize, and monetize their own avatars and accessories within Aviator Arcade. It integrates directly with the platform's collectibles, Foxtails, and marketplace systems.

Customization Features

Build avatars using unlockable parts, colors, banners, and backgrounds. Many parts are tied to Achievements, Site Badges, or Foxtails rewards. Users can create different avatar bases, including humans, animals, or puppets, offering a wide range of personalization options. Users can bring in external NFT avatars they own. Imported NFTs currently cannot be altered but some may be supported for future customization.

Marketplace Integration

Accessories and avatar parts created by users can be minted as NFTs and sold on the Aviator Arcade Marketplace for Credits. Buyers can purchase directly with Credits (AVI) or Cash (USDC) using Web2-friendly payment options. Purchased parts are added to the buyer's inventory and can be applied to their avatar or traded, creating a persistent, user-driven economy.

Economic & Engagement Impacts

• Encourages creativity and microeconomy development, giving players and creators a way to monetize content.
• Integrates Foxtails: certain avatar parts can carry Foxtails points, either for social display or as redeemable value within platform activities.
• Drives cross-engagement: users who create, trade, or collect avatar parts are more likely to participate in games, leaderboards, and events.

Content & Social Feed

• Badges and Achievements: Display earned or favorite Badges, with Foxtails points attached, along with achievements from games or platform engagement.
• Activity Feed: Posts, streams, inventory updates, recently played games, and user-created games are surfaced in a timeline for friends.
• Reviews & Social Links: Users can link external social media, post reviews, and share content directly within the Arcade ecosystem.
• Chat: Private, encrypted messaging between users.

Adult Content Policy

Aviator Arcade allows user-generated content marked as 18+, supporting creative freedom for adult audiences. All content must comply with strict child protection policies as required by law.

Aviator Prize Wall

The Aviator Arcade Prize Wall, like at a real arcade, is where users can redeem Credits and/or Foxtails for cool prizes. Digital prizes, such as cosmetics, badges, themes, downloadable content, and more, give players fun and visible ways to use what they earn.

Just like walking up to a prize counter after racking up tickets, the Prize Wall turns digital gameplay into tangible rewards. Players can unlock profile customizations, exclusive visual effects, collectible badges that mark achievements, and limited-edition content tied to special events or seasonal drops. Some rewards focus on self-expression, while others highlight milestones, status, or participation in unique challenges.

The Prize Wall keeps the Arcade experience rewarding beyond the game itself, giving users clear goals to work toward and a constant stream of new items to collect, show off, and enjoy.

Community Events

Aviator Arcade hosts a variety of events designed to engage players, reward participation, and strengthen ecosystem retention. Events leverage Foxtails, Credits, leaderboards, and social features to create recurring engagement loops.

Event Types

• Tournaments & Competitions: Scheduled events where players compete in games or microgames for Credits, Foxtails, and collectible prizes. Developers can configure event rules, durations, and prize distributions.
• Seasonal & Thematic Events: Time-limited events tied to holidays, releases, or community milestones, featuring exclusive rewards and collectibles.
• Quests & Challenges: Platform-wide challenges that reward players for completing specified actions across games, social interactions, or content creation.

Mechanics & Incentives

• Automated Prize Distribution: All events integrate with the Arcade economy, distributing Credits, Foxtails, and collectibles according to predefined rules.
• Recurring Engagement: Events are structured to ensure daily, weekly, and seasonal activity, keeping players returning to the platform.
• Social Integration: Events tie into profiles, timelines, leaderboards, and achievements, allowing players to showcase participation and accomplishments.

SkyBridge

Aviator SkyBridge is the core onboarding and cross-chain bridge that brings existing crypto users into the Arcade ecosystem. It allows users to move standard ERC-20 tokens and ERC-721 NFTs from Ethereum and other supported chains directly into Supported L2 Networks, where Aviator Arcade operates.

SkyBridge is designed to be fast, secure, and token-agnostic. It supports a wide range of assets without requiring custom integrations, offers near-instant deposits to Supported L2 Networks, and includes features like Supersonic transfers that reduce typical withdrawal delays for supported tokens. It also enables permissionless deployments, allowing existing tokens to launch on Supported L2 Networks without requiring developer coordination.

The Hangar

The Hangar is Aviator's physical merchandise store where users can exchange Cash for limited-edition pieces from featured artists around the world. It's designed as a curated style destination within the Arcade ecosystem, turning participation into access.

Each drop is produced in limited quantities and released in collaboration with rotating global artists, designers, and creatives. Collections may include apparel, prints, and collectible items that emphasize originality, craftsmanship, and strong visual identity. The focus is on quality and storytelling, not mass production.

The Hangar connects digital community engagement with real-world style, giving members access to exclusive releases that feel intentional, collectible, and culturally relevant.

Aviator DAO

A DAO, or Decentralized Autonomous Organization, is a management structure that uses blockchain technology to automate certain aspects of voting and transaction processing. The Aviator DAO allows community members to propose and vote on community incentives, strategies, campaigns, platform rules, features to be developed, etc. The Aviator DAO utilizes Snapshot for a transparent and accessible voting protocol.

To participate, visit the site, connect your wallet that holds AVI, and vote on the proposals available. Voting only requires a signature, which does not incur a gas fee. To be eligible for voting, users must hold AVI tokens before proposal publication. Voting power is determined by the amount of tokens held when each proposal is created.

Standard Procedures

Project proposals will be presented on social media for discussion, and discussions will be hosted on the Aviator community Discord server. Users of other platforms are encouraged to host their own local discussions.

• Proposal voting shall last 7 calendar days.
• All proposals are non-binding.
• There shall be no minimum quorum required for proposals to finalize.

Ecosystem participants holding at least 10,000,000 AVI tokens across all chains may create and submit proposals for voting.

The Aviator treasury admins, as well as long-standing community members, can moderate proposals and remove those that contain offensive language or graphic content. Proposals involving direct financial outcomes are disallowed.

Community proposals from all holders can be submitted at any time to dao@aviator.ac. Selected proposals shall be presented to the community for discussion before the decision is made to publish them for DAO voting.
