How can I get $STELLARUM?

To participate in future $STELLARUM airdrops, you can acquire $ASTRA (to stake) through our Starter Pack Presale in two ways:

1000 Starter Packs (10 $HBD or 35 $HIVE)
Includes: 4 NFT Familiars, 2000 $ASTRA, and access to Closed Alpha/Beta tests
Limit 1 per Hive account

8,000,000 $ASTRA (0.01 $SWAP.HIVE)

We're nearing the 10% mark for total $ASTRA sold during this presale which will run until sold out or we launch Astral Revelations v1.0.

$STELLARUM — "Wut Do?" (Use Cases)

$STELLARUM is the secondary token for Astral Revelations intended as a more economical option for some of the most common game interactions. Players can progress more quickly by spending the $ASTRA they earn as they earn it, but they can retain greater value over the long term by staking $ASTRA to earn a steady supply of $STELLARUM.

Current Use Cases

You can review our whitepaper for a complete list of current $STELLARUM use cases, but we believe the most important—i.e. most economical or most likely to be commonly used—will be the following:

• Evolving Familiars (substitute 1:1 for $ASTRA)
• Upgrading non-NFT Keystones/Attunements (same 1:1 rate)
• Consumables (some can only be purchased with $STELLARUM)
• Staking fees (most economical route)
• End-game access fees (lowest "cost per run")

Not all of the above will make sense yet (posts covering each major game system in detail will be released over the coming weeks), but the important bit is $STELLARUM was designed as a token streamlined for gameplay progression and entry-level passive investments.

Active players will receive "more bang for their buck" by securing a steady source of $STELLARUM to cover progression costs.

Passive investors will accumulate more long-term value in terms of transactable NFT by using $STELLARUM to leverage the utility of their assets.

Future Use Cases

As noted in our whitepaper, we plan to tie $STELLARUM to renting Familiars and eventually create specific Hive Engine token liquidity pool pairings. We'll dig into both of those use cases in future posts, but you can probably accurately assume what that will look like.

What we haven't shared yet (new stuffs!) are the two mini-games we're developing focused on the use of $STELLARUM:

The first is an active mini-game that doesn't require NFTs to play:

• You'll receive one free daily play
• Additional plays will cost $STELLARUM
• Rewards will include $STELLARUM, $ASTRA and specific NFTs for top scores

More details will be shared when unveiling the mini-game around mid-January.

The second is a prototype of the Expeditions game system:

• Will be used to test early NFT Familiar staking
• Offers a rotating daily selection of "idle missions"
• Will allow you to use any NFT Familiars you've acquired
• Will be limited to Quests (rewards $STELLARUM) and Delves (rewards $STELLARUM/$ASTRA)

New NFTs

In addition to the mini-games we're developing, we're beefing up $STELLARUM's connection to consumables by creating a new category of NFTs: Eternal Consumables.

Standard consumables purchased with Gold/$STELLARUM (Clan consumables will cost $ASTRA) are single-use items that disappear after applying their effects. They can only be used outside of battle with individual limits on how many you can carry into each adventure.

Their effects include:

• Healing
• Reviving Familiars
• Combat buffs

With other effects planned for testing.

Eternal Consumables will be identical to regular consumables, but they will exist as NFTs that are purchasable only with $STELLARUM (eventually $ASTRA for Eternal Clan consumables).

They'll function as follows:

• Usable once per adventure
• Use tier system (T1-T9) to determine potency
• Can be upgraded to higher tiers through Alchemy (NFT blending like Evolving/Forging/Constructing)
• Can carry 2 at a time (limit can be increased through Sanctuary upgrades)

As with the other systems we'll be spotlighting in the future, Eternal Consumables will be explained in detail along with costs, types, and of course "wen NFT consumables?"
