Web3 game publisher Uprising Labs has announced the launch of its new ecosystem token, $UPR. The company shared the news via Twitter, confirming that the presale is set for June 24. This token will serve as the backbone for all Uprising-powered games and future content. The team has also revealed its tokenomics, detailing how the one billion total supply will be distributed.

Uprising Tokenomics: What You Need to Know

Uprising Labs has allocated the $UPR token across several key categories. The largest share, 37%, is reserved for the community. This suggests a focus on player rewards, engagement, and long-term community involvement. Another huge portion, 26%, is allocated to what the team refers to as the Game Fund.

The team has also reserved 15% of the supply for internal use. These tokens are long-term aligned, with vesting schedules to be expected. The rest of the supply is split as follows: 7% for liquidity, 5% for the public sale, 4% for the presale, and 3% each for seed investors and advisors.

More Details to Come

The official docs have yet to go live, but some early plans have already been shared. The team will use $UPR as a single utility token across its ecosystem. That means players can expect a unified economy between all Uprising titles. Whether it's earning tokens through gameplay, trading items, or unlocking in-game perks, $UPR will be the central currency.

Uprising's Web3 Game Catalog

Uprising Labs isn't just a platform. It's also a publisher with a growing list of web3 titles under its belt. Five games are currently being developed or supported by the team, each with unique playstyles and mechanics.

QRusader is a mobile roguelite that generates levels from QR codes in the real world. Players can scan a code from a flyer, product, or receipt to instantly create a new dungeon with random traps, monsters, and loot. Each QR code becomes a doorway to a different experience, making it a game that evolves with your surroundings.

Maelstrom is an online naval combat game where players battle across the Abyssal Ocean in powerful warships. The game features real-time combat, team-based and free-for-all modes, and environmental hazards. Players must outthink enemies and avoid sea monsters to win battles and collect loot. It's fast-paced, tactical, and built around risk-versus-reward gameplay.

NightSpawn is a multiplayer horror game mixing escape-room puzzles and survival elements. Designed for co-op and competitive modes, the game throws players into nightmare settings filled with logic challenges, hidden paths, and monsters based on global myths. Tarot Cards, procedural maps, and random modifiers ensure each match is different, adding replayability and tension.

Masks of the Void: Infinity is a wave-based roguelite set in a collapsing realm. Players take control of Iret, a fighter who uses ancient masks to gain combat powers. Each run is a short session where players battle hordes of enemies, unlock new abilities, and make story-driven decisions. Loadouts shift with each attempt, pushing players to experiment and adapt.

Mullet Cop is a retro-style isometric simulator inspired by the indie comic. Players control Fred "the Mulletcop" and his AI microwave partner, M.I.T.T., inside Megamall 4472-158. The game allows players to manage peaceful storefronts or flip the switch and engage in over-the-top action. An adjustable violence slider lets players choose between chill mall sim or explosive mall justice.

As the June 24 presale approaches, Uprising Labs is set to introduce $UPR as the central token for its growing platform. The token is expected to support gameplay, rewards, and development across all Uprising-backed titles.
