Ascenders combines a story-driven open world with a fully decentralized, player driven crypto economy to deliver a totally new ARPG experience. Built on the Avalanche network, Ascenders features a dual token economy and player created NFTs, and is one of the first major games to leverage the power and flexibility of AVAX subnets.The Ascenders ecosystem is complex, with lots of opportunities for trade, cooperation, and competition. Players drive an emergent economy: they create all NFT items, build cities on NFT lands, and band together to create powerful guilds. There are a variety of 'play-and-earn' roles a player can specialize in, each with its own resources, challenges, and economic loops. Player decisions can make permanent changes to the world itself.As a first step towards this ecosystem, Ascenders will first release the AGC governance token. This token can be staked for rewards, provides membership in the Ascenders DAO, unlocks bonus rewards and special VIP events while the game is in development, and can be used in game as well. AGC Stakers even receive in-game rewards!
