Mojizu
The complete guide

How Mojizu works.

Artists upload characters. The community rates them. The best ones battle. Champions get crowned. Here's the whole loop — with pictures.

The loop

One journey, five stages.

Every Moji follows the same path. Upload → prove it to the community → battle for rank → maybe win a championship. Here's the full shape, in order:

Upload
Admin-reviewed
Fresh
Community rates 0-10
Hot
Battle-eligible
War
Head-to-head votes
Super Match
Weekly bracket

You can live at any stage — uploading, rating, voting, collecting. Your Moji moves through all five over time.

Stage 1: Fresh

Every Moji starts here.

Rate this Moji
One shot. Locks forever.
7/10
Rate 0-10

One locked rating per user per Moji. The community's median decides if it graduates.

Bayesian-smoothed score

Big samples beat tiny ones — a Moji with 100 ratings at 8.0 ranks above one with 3 ratings at 10.0. Math that rewards endorsement, not luck.

Three ways to graduate

Hit 10+ ratings with a 5.5+ smoothed score, OR land in the top 25% of Fresh, OR catch fire (50+ ratings in a week).

Winner climbs a tier · Loser drops
One vote per pair

You pick a winner. Your pick counts once. Locks forever — no brigading.

Ranks adjust live

Winner climbs, loser drops. The math is ELO — like chess, tennis, esports. Beating a top-ranked Moji earns more.

Ties → Power Stats

If votes tie, the Moji with higher combined Power Stats wins. Stats are set at upload time from image analysis.

Battle tiers

Rookie climbs to Legend.

Every Moji has a tier. It's earned through battles — no pay-to-win, no subscription. The ladder:

🌱
Rookie0–1199

Brand new, still calibrating

Challenger1200–1349

Permanent crown, never fades

Tiers replace raw numbers

No more '1247' or '1523'. Tiers tell a story a number can't.

Legend is permanent

Win a Super Match final and the Legend crown stays — even if the Moji later loses streaks. Crowns are earned once, kept forever.

Stage 3: Super Match

14 Hot seeds + 2 Rookie shots

Winner = Legend

The final winner earns the permanent Legend tier + a bump in everyone's feed.

The money side

Mojicash ($MC) — arcade tokens, not real money.

Earn by participating

Daily login, ratings on your Moji, comments, battle wins, tournament prizes. Caps at 200/day from passive activity so the faucet doesn't flood the economy.

Buy more when you want

Optional top-ups via Stripe. Same way you'd load a Starbucks card. Closed-loop — chips never cash out to real money.

Spend on the marketplace

Buy Mojis, tip creators, list your own editions (small fee — a real sink to keep $MC scarce).

The marketplace

Collect, resell, earn royalties.

Buy any edition

Every approved Moji mints a limited edition run. 5 for legendary, 10 epic, 20 rare, 30 uncommon, 50 common. Creator sells from their own floor first.

10% creator royalty forever

A small slice of every resale finds its way back to the artist. You can't undercut the original artist's price — that rule is baked in.

Trade + gift

Propose trades (multiple Mojis ± $MC), or gift an edition to someone else. Zero-sum transfers, no ownership shenanigans.
