Tokenomics de Seraph (SERAPH)

The native token of the Seraph ecosystem, $SERAPH, is designed to be a utility token that facilitates participation, unlocks features, and drives the in-game economy of the blockchain-based ARPG. The Token Generation Event (TGE) for $SERAPH occurred on January 6, 2025, establishing the foundation for its player-driven economy. The total supply of $SERAPH is 1 billion tokens.

Issuance Mechanism

The issuance mechanism for $SERAPH is primarily centered around rewarding community engagement and player activity.

• Pre-TGE Redemption: Before the TGE, players could acquire Seraph Starry Journey Feathers which were redeemable for $SERAPH tokens at set rates based on rarity:
  • 1 Starry Feather = 1 $SERAPH
  • 1 Chaos Feather = 3 $SERAPH
  • 1 Soul Feather = 10 $SERAPH
• Seasonal Rewards: A significant portion of the token supply is allocated for player rewards and distributed each season through a "user interactives" system that quantifies players' interactions, behaviors, and activities within the game. For instance, Season 2, which began on March 7, 2025, featured a prize pool of 6.1 million $SERAPH plus 50 BNB.
• In-Game Activities: $SERAPH tokens are distributed as rewards for various in-game achievements and contributions, including:
  • Ladder rankings
  • Chaos Dungeon contributions
  • Secret Prison participation
  • Soul Spar utilization

Allocation Mechanism

The total supply of 1 billion $SERAPH tokens is distributed across various stakeholders, with a strong emphasis on community incentives.
