What is $CELL

$CELL tokens are the core asset of the Cellula programmable incentive layer, using a vPoW mining mechanism. The tokenomics will be published in the whitepaper. Cellula is aiming to hold the Token Generation Event (TGE) in Q3 of 2024, but no later than Q4. Please follow the latest announcements on the official Cellula channel for the finalilzed TGE timing.

Before the TGE, $CELL Tokens can be obtained in three ways:

  • Energy point mining — can be generated through charging BitLife ( in the game, 101,962.08 energy points will be generated every 5 minutes, which will be distributed to each user based on the current computing power share of BitLife holders.)
  • Life point mining — can be obtained through completing quests & inviting friends. (share 0.5% of the $CELL Tokens)
  • Airdrop activities — Airdrop activities will be held in collaboration with different partners, with different rules. The amount of $CELL Tokens for each airdrop activity can be checked via the Cellula official website, and will be directly claimable at the TGE.

The utility of $CELL Token will also be introduced in different stages of Cellula, including but not limited to the following functions:

  • Minting BitLife
  • Charging BitLife
  • Participating in Cellula ecosystem projects
  • Staking for dividends/mining

Game-Related Concepts

In-Game Asset NFT

In Cellula, there are two main types of game asset NFTs: BitCell and BitLife.

  • BitCell:

There are a total of 10,220 BitCells, divided into 20 groups, each containing 511 different cells. Each BitCell is a 3x3 matrix. Players can rent BitCells without permission, paying only the minting fee. The minting fee for each BitCell follows an independent pricing principle, and the rental cost is related only to the frequency of use. Each BitCell can be rented an unlimited number of times per day.BitCell NFTs currently do not participate in mining or produce energy, nor do they affect computational power.

As a crucial component of the Cellula ecosystem, BitCell NFTs promise substantial rewards and incentives for holders, including $CELL token airdrops, post-TGE staking incentives, and multiple incentives from ecosystem partners.

  • BitLife:

There is no upper limit to the number of BitLife NFTs. Each BitLife NFT must be crafted from a combination of 2 to 9 BitCells. Each BitLife NFT has a unique external appearance, containing a 9x9 matrix internally. The combination of BitCells determines the appearance of BitLife (BitLifes that have the same arrangement of BitCells will have identical appearances)

Players can mint these NFTs on the Popular BitLife or Mint BitLife pages. After charging, a BitLife generates computational power and shares the energy produced by the planet. Each BitLife’s computational changes are based on the evolutionary rules of Conway’s Game of Life. For specific rules, please refer to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway%27s_Game_of_Life

Game Feature Introduction:

BitLife Hub

The BitLife Hub is the center for mint BitLife in Cellula. Here, the BitLife Shop allows players to select top BitLife and mint them with one click. In Mint BitLife, players can use all BitCells from the BitCell Table to create BitLife. My NFTs section provides a view of minted BitLifes and held BitCells.

​​Quest System

Cellula’s platform offers two types of quests: Tasks and Daily Rewards.

Tasks are one-time activities, and upon completion, you can claim substantial energy rewards. The Cellula platform periodically releases various tasks for players to undertake.

Daily Rewards are tasks that can be completed daily, with generous energy rewards available upon completion. Daily rewards refresh every 24 hours, allowing you to participate daily and earn additional rewards.

Leaderboard

There are two main leaderboards: the Top Gamers Leaderboard and the Popular BitLife Leaderboard.

Top Gamers Leaderboard ranks players by their computational power, displaying the top 100.

Popular BitLife Leaderboard ranks BitLifes based on their current activity in the mining pool, showing which are most used and popular in the community. This helps players understand which BitLifes are trending, offering valuable insights for strategic choices.

Charging

Charging your BitLife activates them and promotes growth. During growth, they actively collect energy, which is then accumulated in your spaceship.

Players can choose to charge it for a period of 1 day, 3 days, or 7 days, with each option costing $1, $3, or $7, respectively. Please avoid recharging repeatedly, as each recharge will reset BitLife’s charging progress.

Charging isn’t a stored item or NFT and can be used immediately after purchase. Charging resets, rather than accumulates, BitLife’s working time. Future charging types with mysterious powers are anticipated as hinted by the mysterious merchant

Value Introduction

Energy Mining Points

Energy points represent the resources your BitLife collects in Cellula. In the future, energy points will qualify for Cellula Token airdrops.The mechanism for mining energy points follows (vPoW), with one block generated every 5 minutes. Each block produces 101,962.08 energy points. These points are distributed based on the computational power of the BitLifes currently mining. Higher computational power results in a larger share of energy. (The specific conversion ratio will be announced in the upcoming whitepaper. Please stay tuned for further updates.)

Social Points ‘Life’

Life points measure your contributions to the Cellula ecosystem. Earn these through active participation in the quest system and different functions.

Network Hashrates

This is the total computational power of all BitLifes across all players.

  • My Hashrates:

Your Hashrates is the sum of all your active BitLifes, calculated as the sum of each BitLife’s power multiplied by a team coefficient bonus. (Team function will be live soon, stay tuned!)

  • My Share:

Your share =(Your Hashrates / Network Hashrates) * 100%

  • BitLife Hashrate:

BitLife’s key feature is its computational power, which determines the distribution of energy produced each cycle among BitLifes. Only BitLifes that have been charged are activated and included in the computation. A higher computational value indicates a more powerful BitLife.
