UAP Token Utility and Claiming

The Core Play-to-Earn Currency in Super Galactic

UAP is our in-game utility token that fuels progression in Super Galactic. It will be deployed on the Ethereum network and will be tradeable on Ethereum. Users will also be able to bridge UAP to the Beam network via the Beam Bridge. You can earn UAP by completing missions inside Super Galactic through our play-to-earn model. Once earned, UAP can be claimed directly from the UFO Gaming Hub using the Claim Tokens option in the navigation panel.

Full tokenomics will be released soon. UAP plays a central role in the Super Galactic in-game economy and progression system.

UFO Token Utility and Breeding

UFO’s Role in Trading, Breeding, and Ecosystem Access

UFO is our ecosystem’s primary token and will remain tradeable on the Ethereum network. However, users will be able to bridge UFO to the Beam network via the Beam Bridge for use on the UFO Gaming Hub.

On the hub, UFO can be used to:

1. List, buy, and auction NFTs on the marketplace
2. Breed new Super Soldiers (Alpha and Beta) by combining two Genesis Origin UFOeps
3. This breeding system uses both UFO and UAP tokens and includes a burn mechanism to maintain balance in the ecosystem.

More information on breeding will be shared in an upcoming release. In the meantime, users can explore the “Breed” section from the navigation panel and preview the breeding experience through our in-platform video demo.

ETH Token Utility

Using ETH on the UFO Gaming Hub

ETH is fully supported on the Beam network once bridged and plays an important role in the UFO Gaming Hub. Users can use ETH to:

1. List NFTs for sale
2. Buy NFTs
3. Place and accept auction bids

While ETH is not swappable on BeamSwap, it is usable on-chain within the UFO Gaming Hub for all marketplace transactions.

To use ETH on the UFO Gaming Hub, users can bridge ETH from Ethereum to Beam via the official Beam Bridge. Once bridged, it becomes available for marketplace activity on Beam.

Looking Ahead

The launch of the UFO Gaming Hub marks a major step forward for our community and the future of web3 gaming. By integrating with the Beam network, we’ve unlocked a faster and more seamless experience for minting, trading, and interacting with in-game assets.

This is just the beginning. As we welcome a new wave of players, our focus remains on providing tools, rewards, and gameplay that empower users to truly own their digital journey. With the introduction of multi-token support, claimable UAP rewards, and marketplace access, we are laying the foundation for an ecosystem that rewards participation and growth.

Connect your wallet, explore the UFO Gaming Hub, and prepare for what’s ahead.

The mission continues and you are part of it.
