ALPUN token

ALPUN is the only fungible on-chain asset in Alpaca Universe. It is a standard SPL token — no custom token program.

What ALPUN is not​

  • ALPUN is not a game resource. Grass, water, wool, wood and stone live in MongoDB and cannot leave the game.
  • Season 0 emits no ALPUN: rewards are NFTs only. Any future seasonal reward pools would be fixed in advance and distributed by participation and ranking.
  • Ordinary gameplay never touches the chain — only deposits, withdrawals, locks, claims and NFT mints do.

Token flows​

Buy / hold ALPUN
    → hold in the linked wallet (Season 0) / stake (Season 1+)
    → daily Alpaca Energy allowance       (off-chain, derived)
    → gameplay produces seasonal points   (off-chain)
    → Season 0: NFT rewards only; no token distribution

Design guardrails​

  • Rewards language is explicit that amounts are variable, not guaranteed.
  • Emergency withdrawal controls and reward caps exist from day one.
  • The team never asks for a seed phrase and the backend never signs as the player: transaction-building endpoints return unsigned transactions for the wallet to inspect and sign.
