Spellborne has confirmed August 29 as the official launch date for its $BORNE token, marking a major step in the rollout of its in-game economy. The announcement comes just days after the team previewed its integration with Avalanche-based Blackhole DEX, where the token will be tradeable.
$BORNE will power all major systems inside Spellborne, the pixel-art monster RPG from Mon Studios, including minting, trading, progression items, and PvP utility. The token is also built to extend beyond Spellborne into future Mon Studios games such as Guardians of Celestia and Spellborne Rogue.
Airdrops and Vesting Breakdown
A total of 12.5% of the token supply has been allocated for airdrops, fully unlocked at launch. According to the latest figures shared by Spellborne, 2.7% of that supply has already been spent in-game and returned to the reward cycle, reflecting early player activity.
The remaining allocation includes:
- 37.5% for Gameplay Fund – 10% unlocked at TGE, remainder vested over 36 months
- 15% for Development – vested across 36 months
- 5% for Ecosystem Fund – 48-month vesting
- 30% for Investors – 1.6% unlocked at TGE, with 4-6 month cliffs and 18-month vesting
What $BORNE Unlocks
Players can spend $BORNE in several ways across the Spellborne ecosystem:
- Mint and trade monsters as NFTs
- Speed up chest unlocks and progression
- Create and manage guild tokens
- Purchase the Stellar Pass and in-game bundles
- Trade marketplace items and cosmetics
This utility is designed to deepen over time, with upcoming support in other Mon Studios titles.
How Players Earn $BORNE
Earning mechanics are tied directly to player engagement. PvP leagues, seasonal events, guild wars, and marketplace activity all contribute to $BORNE accumulation. According to the design doc, the gameplay fund is continuously replenished through minting fees, marketplace fees, and item consumption keeping reward flows in motion as the economy scales.
Part of a Broader Rollout
This token launch is part of a larger roadmap that includes mobile expansion, Abstract Chain integration, and multi-game ecosystem development. Spellborne’s developers say that $BORNE is focused strictly on utility, not governance, with its role defined as the backbone of progression and trading across a growing suite of games.
The token will be available on Blackhole DEX, the Avalanche-native exchange that uses LayerZero cross-chain tech and ve(3,3)-style mechanics for governance. No staking or bribe mechanisms have been confirmed for $BORNE yet.
