More about Apeiron
Apeiron is a card-battling roguelite mixed with god game mechanics. You battle through grid-based dungeons with your Apostles while wielding divine powers. The game's recent PvP release lets you challenge other players for rewards and ranked ladder progression. It revives the classic god simulation genre from the early 2000s with modern roguelite design. You grow planets, control giant Avatars in battle, and collect dood NFTs.
Apeiron has grown steadily since migrating to Ronin. The $APRS token launch serves two purposes: funding ecosystem development and giving the community governance power at an early valuation. Apeiron recently released its PvP Open Beta, and season 3 with updated story content is coming soon.
Apeiron ecosystem token
Introducing Apeiros ($APRS)
$APRS is the ecosystem token of Apeiron issued by Foonie Magus, the game's developer. Token holders can participate in Apeiron's governance. The relationship between $APRS and Apeiron mirrors 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, different from $APRS which is an ecosystem token with a fixed supply. The $ANIMA token launch is coming soon.
The $APRS token includes vesting and unlock requirements. These requirements ensure a sustainable ecosystem. Investors' token allocations will be held in escrow until they vest on their designated schedule. You can read more about $APRS unlock and vesting timelines in the official Apeiron Whitepaper.
Note: 100% of $APRS tokens will remain locked until $APRS is listed on either the Katana DEX or another exchange.

If you're an Apeiron player, you'll be able to claim your purchased tokens on the Apeiron official token vesting portal.
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
wRON staking period
13-15 March 6:00 AM UTC
During this period, stake wRON on Impossible Finance's Ronin Launchpad to see how many $APRS tokens you'll be able to purchase. Impossible Finance determines token allocation using their StakeWeight Allocation Model, which takes into account how many wRON tokens you stake and for how long you stake them. Read more here, and follow the steps below to wrap your RON.
Step 1: Go to Mavis Market and select "Log In" to connect your Ronin wallet.
Step 2: Click "Swap RON/WRON" through the drop-down in the top right of your screen.
Step 3: Enter the amounts you'd like to swap and hit confirm.
APRS purchase period
15 March 10:00 AM UTC to 17 March 4:00 AM UTC
During this period, you'll be able to purchase $APRS based on your allocation from the StakeWeight Allocation Model described above. If you don't purchase $APRS during this time, you will forfeit your allocation.
APRS claim period
26 March, with the confirmed time to be announced later. You can claim your APRS tokens on Aperion's vesting portal here. You can learn more about the way Impossible Finance structures token launches here. Refer to #9 for specific info about Standard and Unlimited sales.
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 and 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 Ronin in December and has seen explosive growth since the migration. 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.
