Apeiron, the immersive real-time fantasy strategy game, has initiated its eagerly awaited token sale for $APRS tokens, coinciding with the culmination of its latest Beta phase. Players who excel in the PvP Battle Arena stand to reap rewarding prizes as the community eagerly engages in both events.

Apeiron is described as the first-ever NFT-based web3 God Game. The much-anticipated ecosystem token $APRS is launching exclusively on the Ronin Network. This will be one of the first token sales on Ronin, the dates are set between March 12th and March 15th. Interested individuals will have the opportunity to buy Apeiron’s ecosystem token, $APRS. This is not financial advice. 

In this article, we dive into the intricacies of Apeiron's token launch on Ronin, exploring the significance of this event, the unique features of $APRS, and the potential impact it may have on the broader blockchain community. 

Details on Token Sale?

The initial community round of the $APRS token sale is already in full swing, having commenced yesterday March 12th at 6 am UTC. Impressively, the round has been met with overwhelming success, having sold out within 24 hours. 

The upcoming Primeval round, set to begin on March 14th at 10 am UTC, is anticipated with heightened enthusiasm. Notably, due to the rapid uptake witnessed in the first round, the Apeiron team has decided to double the token allocation for the Primeval round, increasing it from 9 million to 18 million tokens.

Participation in this token sale necessitates specific whitelist roles or ownership of NFT assets, as determined by a snapshot taken the previous week, with NFT assets required to be on the Ronin network for eligibility. 

Token Allocation and Utility? 

The allocation of tokens for purchase is outlined based on individual eligibility criteria, with each lot priced at $275 USDC. Interested participants can access the sale via the Ronin Launchpad, subject to completion of the KYC process, accessible here.

For those not meeting the criteria for the current token sale, reassurance is provided that future opportunities to acquire $APRS tokens will be available, as this distribution represents only a fraction of the planned token emission.

$APRS tokens will serve as the primary ecosystem currency within Apeiron, facilitating various in-game activities such as Celestial Conjunctions, Apostle minting, and NFT rentals. Additionally, plans are underway to enable the conversion of $APRS tokens into in-game currency, offering players the flexibility to purchase battle passes and items from the game store.

Battle Arena PvP

In parallel to the token sale, Apeiron enthusiasts are invited to participate in the ongoing PvP leaderboard contest. Running until March 17th, 2024, this competition promises enticing rewards, including in-game tokens from daily battles and seasonal ranks. 

Notably, top-ranking players stand to win coveted prizes, including entries into an upcoming raffle for Planets or Elemental Cores, Apostle Ticket NFTs, Golden Apostle Ticket NFTs, and Mythic Cores for the top three performers.

Apeiron is free to play and available through the Epic Games launcher. The game features an introductory tutorial and offers players a selection of free Apostles to use. Visit their website to get started.

More About Apeiron?

Apeiron is a card-battling Roguelite x God Game hybrid. Players battle their way through a grid-based dungeon with their Apostles while wielding supernatural powers – like a god.

In the most recent PvP release, players can also challenge other gods to fight for rewards and to climb the competitive ranked ladder. It’s both a revival of the classic god simulation genre popular in the early 2000s and a roguelite incorporating modern gameplay design experiences. Players can grow their own planets, control giant Avatars in battle, collect cute dood NFTs, and more.

Apeiron has seen a steady increase in user growth since migrating to Ronin. Their token launch will serve two purposes: to fuel the growth and development of the Apeiron ecosystem while empowering the community to deepen their engagement through governance at an early valuation. Apeiron also recently released their PvP Open Beta and their new season 3 release with updated story content is just around the corner. 

Apeiron has a rather complex NFT economy. The team posted an official guide in September of 2023 which you can read here. To learn more about Apeiron, visit their website, follow them on Twitter, and join their Discord chat.

More About Token Sale?

Apeiron Ecosystem Token

Introducing Apeiros ($APRS)

$APRS is the ecosystem token of Apeiron issued by Foonie Magus, the game’s developer. The token will allow holders to participate in the governance of Apeiron. The relationship between $APRS and Apeiron is similar to the one between $AXS and Axie Infinity. 

You may have heard of Apeiron’s $ANIMA token. $ANIMA is a gameplay token with an infinite supply, which is different from $APRS which is an ecosystem token with a fixed supply. Stay tuned for the $ANIMA token launch coming soon.

The $APRS token will be subject to vesting and unlock requirements. The Apeiron team designed these requirements to ensure $APRS supports a sustainable ecosystem. For example, investors’ token allocations will be held in escrow until they vest according to their own schedule. You can read more about $APRS unlock and vesting timelines in the official Apeiron Whitepaper. 

Note: As you read through the sale details below, remember that 100% of $APRS tokens will remain locked until $APRS is listed on either the Katana DEX or another exchange.

Ronin Community Round

The Ronin Community Round will take place on March 15th, and the Ronin community will have the option to buy 4M $APRS. Community members will be able to purchase $APRS through a Standard Sale and an Unlimited Sale. Allocations are based on the amount of wRON staked into Ronin Launchpad and time staked from March 13th. 

Note: The wRON you stake on Ronin Launchpad has no relation to the RON you may have staked with a validator on Ronin. That means you’ll need to stake fresh wRON on Ronin Launchpad to be eligible for the $APRS, regardless of any RON you may have staked to a Ronin validator.

Key Dates

The $APRS Standard Sale will be allocated a total of 2.4M tokens, with a 1000 wRON maximum stake. This allocation was designed to give smaller RON holders the opportunity to acquire more $APRS.

The Unlimited Sale will be allocated 1.6M tokens. There is no cap on the amount of wRON staked in this method, so large RON holders may stake large amounts to compete & maximize their allocations here.

Remember: 100% of $APRS tokens will remain locked until $APRS is listed on either the Katana DEX or another exchange.

Final Thoughts

Apeiron joined the Ronin movement in December and has already seen explosive growth since they migrated to Ronin. Their four NFT collections have already done over 75K RON in volume, and their monthly active users have grown from 50 to 24K in just a few months. The launch of their $APRS token is another step in a journey that is just beginning.
