Hey Apeiron Faithful! Today we have some details for you regarding our upcoming Community Round for Apeiros (APRS), our governance token. As we’ve written about before, APRS will be used for a variety of purposes in-game, including Celestial Conjunction planet breeding and Relic forging. Additionally, holders of APRS will help to direct the Apeiron project — so if you’re passionate about our game, this is an incredible opportunity to get more involved! (As LoreKeeper hinted, one of the earliest votes may be on quite a heavy decision… can Doods die (on screen)!?) Last week, we touched upon the topic of the APRS Community Round only very briefly — today, we’re filling y’all in with all the details!
Before we get to it, we’d like to highlight that the Apeiron Grand Prix is ongoing NOW! Make a cool, bite-sized informational piece of content about our game and you could win a Primeval Planet Core — in fact, if your content is awesome enough, you could win up to FOUR Primeval Planet Cores, going up in rarity from Mythic to Divine! It’s an incredible amount of value in this event, so don’t be shy — jump in!
Ok, and with that out of the way, let’s get down to business: the APRS Community Round. So, to pick up where we left off last week, APRS will be made available to purchase in lots. The lot size will be 2500 APRS for 300 USDC.
In order to participate in the Community Round, you will need to apply to be whitelisted. Depending on how you apply, you’ll be eligible to purchase different amounts of lots:
Discord Community Quest Marks — We have an ongoing Discord Community Event giving away Quest Marks, which are rewards for completing certain objectives within our community. Collect 3 of these and you’ll be able to apply for a WL.
Origins Collection Apostles — If you are a holder of at least 7 unique Origins Collections Apostles, then you can apply for a WL.
Primeval Planet — If you are a holder of a Primeval Planet, then you can apply for a WL. Remember, you need APRS to perform a Celestial Conjunction, so if you want to start breeding at lower costs, it’s a great deal!
We have a handy table to show how much you’re eligible for depending on what requirements you meet:
We should also highlight that these eligibility requirements are stackable, so that for instance if you complete the Discord Community Quest (1 lot), 7 Origins Collections Apostles (2 lots) AND 3 Elemental Planets (3 lots), then you are eligible for up to 6 lots (1800 USDC) of APRS.
Now, RE: applying for a Whitelist. Because we want to seek long term investors and partners in Apeiron — something we discussed last week — we consulted our legal advisors to decide the best course of action. In order to protect the interests of the project and the community, we need our Community Round contributors to perform KYC. KYC, or “know your client” is a set of financial measures put in place to protect investments. As such, the Community Round will be restricted to countries that can participate in ICOs only.
Countries that are ineligible for ICOs are: Afghanistan, Angola, Azerbaijan, Bahamas, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Botswana, Burundi, Cambodia, Cameroon, Canada, Chad, China, Crimea of Ukraine, Cuba, Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Haiti, Iran, Iraq, Japan, Laos, Libya, Madagascar, Mozambique, Nicaragua, Pakistan, Republic of Korea, Republic of the Congo, Russia, Serbia, Seychelles, Somalia, South Sudan, Sri Lanka, Syria, Sudan, Tajikistan, Trinidad and Tobago, Tunisia, Turkmenistan, Uganda, United States, Uzbekistan, Vanuatu, Venezuela, Yemen, and Zimbabwe.
This was a difficult decision for us, and we are very sorry that our fans in these countries will not be able to join our Community Round, but ultimately we have to focus on the long-term health of Apeiron first and foremost. Please note for those coming from countries that can participate in the Community Round, there will be a section for KYC in the whitelist application, which must be completed and submitted to count for validation.
Again, we know that this may be disappointing to fans in countries where the participation of ICOs are illegal, but we hope that you can understand why we need to take this path — that ultimately, this will lead to safer and stronger foundations for the future of our godiverse.
The Community Round Contribution will open up on our mint.apeironnft.com website on May 18th. Those who are validated will be able to participate. Soon after the Community Round, we will be holding our TGE. We are still in discussion with the top exchanges to decide on the ideal date as some of them have extensive due diligence processes. Once we have a finalized date, we will confirm with all of you.
Ok gang, that’s all we have to share with you for now. If you have any questions, please reach out to us on Discord, Twitter, and Telegram, and we’ll get back to you ASAP! Our team is always ready to chat with you. And be on the lookout over the weekend — we’ve got an interview dropping soon with the wonderful Avocado Gaming Guild, with some sweet insight into what kind of things are happening behind the scenes…stay tuned!
As always, thanks for reading, Godlings. We’ll see you next time~
