EpicApes ecosystem is supported by innovative hybrid token model designed to drive fairness, engagement, and long-term sustainability. The ecosystem consists of one main token ($EPIC) and three secondary off-chain tokens โ each tied to core user activities: gameplay, questing, and NFT staking.
These secondary tokens ($CASH, $SP, and $EXP) are earned through active participation and define a userโs share in future $EPIC airdrops. This model minimizes bot activity, maximizes rewards for the most engaged players, and ensures fair distribution โ all transparently managed by smart contracts.
By decoupling on-chain distribution from off-chain activity tracking, we maintain flexibility, reduce gas costs, and deliver a scalable Web3-native experience.
$EPIC is the official on-chain token that powers the EpicApes ecosystem, serving as the core currency across all products and features. It will be released in Q4 2025 and have a capped total supply of 1 billion tokens. $EPIC enables players to purchase premium items, access advanced features, and participate in governance as the ecosystem evolves.
A significant 60% of the total $EPIC supply is allocated for community airdrops, directly rewarding users based on their in-game activity, quest participation, and NFT staking. This model ensures fair distribution, drives engagement, and supports sustainable long-term growth through a fully transparent, on-chain reward system. Read detailed information by the link below:
$CASH is an off-chain utility token that represents a playerโs contribution within the โ a mobile auto-battler where players battle enemy waves, develop their characters, upgrade skills, complete missions, and earn valuable resources.
$CASH plays a crucial role in determining each player's share of the $EPIC token airdrop. To ensure fairness and transparency, all $CASH-related activities are recorded on-chain, even though the token itself remains off-chain.
$EXP is awarded to users for completing quests on the web platform, which range from simple social actions like liking tweets to more advanced multi-step missions. In addition to quest completion, users can also earn $EXP by participating in referral campaigns, finishing quests from partner projects, and engaging in seasonal events.
The more effort a quest requires, the greater the $EXP reward. These points directly influence a userโs share in the $EPIC airdrop, making $EXP a vital element for encouraging user activity, long-term engagement, and ecosystem growth.
$SP is an off-chain token earned by staking that are equipped with special staking-based traits. These tokens reflect a holder's long-term engagement and contribution to the EpicApes ecosystem, and directly impact their $EPIC airdrop eligibility.
To add staking-based traits, holders must participate in โ a gamified web activity where NFTs are sent on resource-gathering missions. These resources are then used to craft and upgrade traits that unlock staking capabilities. Lear more about Expeditions by the link below:
