Isn’t there already a difference between Genesis NFT holder and Non-Genesis NFT holder, why do we need more ‘levels of ownership’ within OWNers? Aren’t all OWNers the same?

Yes and No. 

Every unit of ownership is the same, which means holding 1 NFT would contribute to 1 ownership day.

However, an owner of multiple NFTs would have a higher OWNDex score because their ‘unit of ownership’ is much higher than the others. 

Simply put, 1 orange may be the same as another orange but 10 oranges are much more than 1 orange. Similarly, while both someone who holds 1 NFT and 10 NFTs are owners, they are different in terms of their ‘level of ownership’.

More levels also give game developers more levers to create a more challenging game and ecosystem.

It opens up a spectrum of possibilities to reward those who own more, believe more, and have contributed more in terms of time, money and belief.
