To the AKIVERSE supporters,

We are excited to announce that Closed Beta Test “Phase 02” has begun on May 1st 10:00(UTC+9)!

Thanks to the valuable feedback from Phase 01 participants, we have updated various functions for the Phase 02 launch.

In Phase 02, you can acquire assets without initial investments, as “rent for installing Arcade Machines in Game Centers” and “Craft Fee” is free or set at a low cost.

Starting from Open Beta Test, we will dynamically adjust the issuance and distribution of tokens to achieve a sustainable ecosystem. Therefore, we recommend that you participate in this phase as the cost for each action may increase significantly from now.

We have also prepared a special giveaway campaign for everyone to enjoy, so we look forward to your participation!

■Closed Beta Test Phase 02 Special Campaign!

Following Closed Beta Test Phase 01, we will have two campaigns for participants to experience Crafting their own Arcade Machine and installing it in the Game Center.

Let’s SPARK Campaign #01!
We’re excited to announce our giveaway, where you can earn Arcade Parts simply by achieving a certain number of SPARKS (phenomenon that occurs when you reach the target score or win) during gameplay.
And that’s not all — you can also earn Teras, the in-world currency needed for Crafting, by achieving a certain number of gameplay sessions.

By participating in this campaign, you’ll have a chance to own an Arcade Machine without any initial investment, as you can earn up to four Arcade Parts and Teras. We can’t wait to see you join in on the fun!

< How to take part in the Let’s SPARK Campaign #01>

Step 1: Login to AKIVERSE and aim to SPARK the Arcade Machine during gameplay!

Step 2: Hit the cumulative SPARK target* ⑴ several times and collect four Arcade Parts along the way.

Step 3: Aim for a cumulative gameplay of 70 times*⑵ and get 5000 Teras needed to Craft an Arcade Machine!

Step 4: Use the four Arcade Parts and 5000 Teras to Craft*⑶ your Arcade Machine!

Step 5: Install the Arcade Machine that was Crafted in a Game Center*⑷!

Step 6: Play the game on your own Arcade Machine*⑸ that was Crafted!

⑴: Arcade Parts will be given away when reaching the first, fifth, tenth, and twentieth cumulative SPARK count. Inventory of the Arcade Parts can only be confirmed on the PC version , so if you’re playing on mobile, please check your inventory using your PC

⑵: You cannot check the number of gameplay sessions at the beginning of Phase 02, but we plan on implementing a feature during Phase 02 to let participants see the progress at a glance. If you want to know the progress before the feature is implemented, don’t hesitate to contact AKIVERSE’s official Twitter account via DM.

⑶⑷: Crafting and installing the Arcade Machine in a Game Center can only be performed on the PC version. You cannot do it on the mobile version, so please do take note.

⑸: You can earn more than 10 times the normal amount of Teras if you SPARK on your own Arcade Machine.

Let’s SPARK Campaign #01!

Let’s SPARK Campaign #02!
In addition, we will conduct a campaign on Zealy where you can earn Teras, the in-world currency, along with the campaign inside the AKIVERSE platform. Teras can be used for Crafting, exchanged for AKIR, or even used to pay rent when installing the Arcade Machine in the Game Center after the next phase.
Since Teras is key to performing actions within AKIVERSE, we highly recommend that you accumulate as much as possible!

<How to take part in the Let’s SPARK Campaign #02!>
Step 1: Log in to Zealy and register your account!

Step 2: Complete various tasks on the AKIVERSE campaign page!

Step 3: Accumulate XP by completing tasks and get rewarded the same amount of Teras!*⑴

Step 4: Use the accumulated Teras for crafting or actions in the future!

⑴: 1 XP = 1 Teras.
The XP you earn on that day will be aggregated by the operation the next day and Teras will be added up and credited to your Teras account on the AKIVERSE platform the next day. Please keep in mind that it may take a little while for the changes to show up. Thanks for your patience!
