$YAKU

$YAKU Tokens is the main cryptocurrency, foundation of the Yakushima’s economy, significantly enhancing player experience in terms of autonomy and variety in gameplay. This approach shifts economic control from game developers to players, contrasting with traditional games.

As a sandbox action MMORPG, $YAKU fuel our game as a decentralized nation, where each player can craft their own gameplay – be it as a trader, a professional crafter, a real estate manager, a warrior, or a guild manager.

In our lore, the Eternal Ledger reward Yakushima citizen by their actions by airdroping them $YAKU. When activated, The Eternal Pad enables players to earn $YAKU tokens during their explorations. The token yield increases with the number of RAM installed.

In our lore, $YAKU is mainly used as an in game currency and also here to pay gas fee while interacting with the Eternal Ledger (happening in Crafting, Seisui interaction, Chip extraction from an Avatar etc.)

$YAKU Staking

Most innovative Staking systems around! On top of the standard rewards for staking, we automatically allocate a portion of revenues in $YAKU to this pool, rewarding our Stakers further.

🔄 Staking Rewards: your share from our pool will vary depending on the amount you stake and for how long.

  • The more $YAKU you stake, the larger your share of the pool.

  • The longer you stake, the higher your multiplier (for example, staking for 12 months earns a 3x multiplier).

  • The multiplier applies to the rewards, not the amount invested. Having a 2x multiplier means you'll receive double the rewards compared to someone who doesn't.
