INFRASTRUCTURE & BLOCKCHAIN
Engage through Fun, Retain through Ownership
The foundation of any successful IP lies in crafting engaging products that deeply resonate with and captivate audiences. Traditional entertainment models demonstrate that captivating experiences drive initial demand. Blockchain technology revolutionizes this model by fostering true ownership and aligning incentives, taking engagement to new heights.
We believe that the combination of compelling content and meaningful player participation is the key to unlocking sustained demand and long-term engagement. Community investment and economic value motivate continued engagement. Enjoyment breeds demand; ownership ensures retention.
By strategically integrating blockchain technology across the SIPHER AGI ecosystem, we are enhancing user experiences, revolutionizing the gaming sector through verifiable digital asset ownership, and fostering vibrant new economies that promote deeper, more meaningful engagement.
While some traditional games like Magic: The Gathering and Counter-Strike offer limited forms of digital ownership, SIPHER is taking a transformative leap forward by leveraging blockchain technology to provide players with indisputable and verifiable ownership through an immutable, decentralized ledger.
Our core mission is to empower players through:
- Asset ownership and value accrual
- Active participation in ecosystem economies
- Sustainable ecosystems that support all ecosystems and participants
Fun in the Front, Funki in the Back
Powering this vision is Funki, our underlying blockchain infrastructure. Funki is more than just another chain; it's a vibrant ecosystem designed to make 'having fun onchain' the new standard for online entertainment.
Inspired by the playful spirit of Japanese culture and the innovative ethos of companies like Disney, Funki reimagines the blockchain experience as an interconnected world brimming with wonder, adventure, and most importantly, fun.
Funki is built as an L2 Ethereum Rollup Network powered by the OP Stack and secured by Ethereum, prioritizing not only fun, but also simplicity, pragmatism, sustainability, and optimism.
Unique Features
Funki empowers creators and builders to create dynamic, cross-game-compatible NFTs. Through the Dokodemo Protocol, a unique innovation of Funki, NFTs can exist in multiple digital realms simultaneously while retaining their core identity and value. This unlocks new possibilities for developers to create interconnected experiences and for players to engage with their digital assets in new ways, creating a multiverse where NFTs can have more than one home.
As an example, imagine your Sipher vessel not just confined to Sipher Odyssey but also appearing in other games within the SIPHER universe, carrying its history and achievements across different digital landscapes.
Synergy with the Optimism Superchain
As part of the Optimism Superchain ecosystem, Funki contributes to a larger network of interconnected blockchains. Funki also implements a unique fee structure, sharing sequencer fees with the Fun First Society (FFS), an initiative dedicated to fostering a fun-first approach to blockchain development.

Player-Driven Economies
Starting with Sipher Odyssey, players can have full ownership of their assets, unlocking a player-driven economy thanks to blockchain technology. Within Sipher Odyssey, players can freely trade a wide variety of in-game assets, including coveted vessels, powerful equipment, and more. Many of these items can be minted as blockchain-backed collectibles, granting players indisputable ownership of their digital property and facilitating the ability to trade these assets for real money on vetted secondary marketplaces.
A mandatory royalty fee is applied to all peer-to-peer trades. In line with our tokenomics model, 100% of the royalties collected from these trades will be funneled into the Sipher Vault as one of its inflow sources and periodically converted into $SIPHER for burning and/or re-investment into the ecosystem.
By embracing the transformative power of blockchain, the SIPHER AGI ecosystem is poised to redefine the relationship between players and the games they love. Through true digital ownership, player-driven economies, and a commitment to sustainable growth, SIPHER is not just building games; it's building a new era of interactive entertainment where players are empowered, engaged, and rewarded like never before.
