Description:
This is a draft page of the Sipher whitepaper.
The purpose is to separate sections and show a similar experience to what you will see on a “Gitbook”-like whitepaper while we edit internally, because in the official version it will have a sidebar with separate sections, similar to this sample:
How to:
- Navigate through the whitepaper page structure/outline
- On PC you will find it on the left of all pages
- On mobile, you should see it at the top of each page.
- On each page, you will also see the table of contents right under the whitepaper page structure/outline
- You can see the status of each page based on the icon next to it:
- ✅ Completed
- 🟢 Updated → Ready for review

Summary
The SIPHER AGI ecosystem
Coined SIPHER "AGI" for its core components, this ecosystem combines three key pillars: Artificial Intelligence (AI), Gaming, and Infrastructure (AGI)
How the SIPHER AGI ecosystem leverages these technologies:
- AI: We utilize and integrate various AI technologies, including Utility AI, Generative AI (image diffusion models), and Large Language Models (LLMs) like Claude, GPT-4, and Gemini.
- Utility AI: Implementing a custom Utility AI framework for dynamic and nuanced agent decision-making, inspired by games like The Sims. This allows AI Agents to adapt to changing environments, player interactions, and market conditions.
- Generative AI (ProtoGaia): Leveraging image diffusion models for streamlined visual content creation and rapid prototyping.
- LLMs: Integrating LLMs to enhance development workflows, automate operational tasks, and power in-game interactions.
- AI Agents: AI companions (Automa) and virtual agents ([Redacted]) that learn, adapt, and interact with players and the environment, with potential applications extending beyond gaming.
- Gaming: We are building a deeply interconnected world of immersive gaming experiences inspired by franchises like Star Wars and extending across diverse media formats.
- Flagship Title (Sipher Odyssey): A fast-paced action RPG with AI companions and rogue-lite elements. Features procedurally generated levels, challenging gameplay, and deep customization through vessels, equipment, and augmentations.
- Second Game (Sipherian Strife): A casual conquest & domination game interconnected with Sipher Odyssey, offering opportunities for cooperative competition and resource acquisition.
- Future Expansion: Developing a constantly evolving ecosystem with multiple interconnected games, driven by player activity and AI evolution.
- Infrastructure: As the foundational blockchain infrastructure, we utilize Funki, an L2 Ethereum Rollup Network built on the OP Stack (part of the Optimism Superchain).
- Fun-First Approach: Funki prioritizes a fun and engaging user experience, making blockchain interactions seamless and accessible.
- Dokodemo Protocol: Implementing the Dokodemo Protocol for deploying and managing interconnected digital assets (NFTs) across multiple games and platforms, enhancing their utility and value.
- True Digital Ownership: Leveraging blockchain to provide players with indisputable and verifiable ownership of their in-game assets.
- Token Standards: Utilizing ERC-20 for the $SIPHER token, ERC-721 & ERC-1155 for NFTs, and ERC-4773 for AI Agents and Vessels with embedded, evolving traits.
$SIPHER Tokenomics
The SIPHER AGI ecosystem is powered by its native token, $SIPHER. $SIPHER is the lifeblood of the ecosystem, facilitating ownership, customization, governance, and dynamic reward mechanisms.
- Key Pillars:
- Engagement-Driven Value Accrual: Increased engagement across the ecosystem drives demand for $SIPHER, leading to sustainable value accrual.
- Ecosystem Perks: Holding $SIPHER unlocks exclusive benefits across the ecosystem, including in-game advantages and rewards in events like play-to-airdrops.
- Self-Sustaining Model: The Sipher Vault mechanism creates a self-reinforcing cycle, using inflows to fund outflows (rewards and incentives) that drive further engagement and growth, and can lead to a deflationary environment.
- Community Governance: $SIPHER token holders have voting rights on key decisions, including content releases, governance policies, and AI-driven market parameters.
- AI-Suggested Rewards: AI algorithms analyze player activity to propose tailored $SIPHER rewards for positive contributions to the ecosystem.
- $SIPHER Utilities:
- Web Shop Currency: In Sipher Odyssey, players can spend $SIPHER to acquire premium currencies at a discount. These currencies can then be used for various in-game items, upgrades, consumables, and even to facilitate trades within the in-game marketplace. Similar mechanics may be integrated into other games within the ecosystem.
- AI Agent Interaction and Customization: $SIPHER fuels the creation, maintenance, and customization of AI Agents. This includes Creation Fees and AI-Abilities Unlock Fees.
- Buybacks and Burning via the Sipher Vault: The Sipher Vault plays a key role in the tokenomics model, holding up to 20% of the value of the $SIPHER total supply.
- Each season, funds flow into the Vault from protocol revenue, buybacks, and specified emissions.
- A projected 25% of Vault funds get redistributed to the ecosystem as rewards for each season.
- Periods of ecosystem growth and success (when the Vault exceeds its 20% capacity) lead to buybacks and/or burning.
- Ecosystem Perks: Holding $SIPHER unlocks exclusive benefits across the entire ecosystem:
- Sipher Odyssey: Get new vessel lootboxes at each new vessel launch, get in-game battle pass, and obtain lifetime eligibility for $SIPHER rewards from competitions and leaderboards.
- Sipherian Strife: Increased income and resource generation.
- Other Ecosystem Initiatives: Exclusive benefits and rewards in initiatives like play-to-airdrops, and future initiatives throughout the ecosystem.
- Marketplace Transactions: $SIPHER facilitates a vibrant marketplace economy:
- Marketplace Currency: $SIPHER may be used to purchase items on Web3 marketplaces.
- Marketplace Fees: A 0.5% transaction fee on all marketplace transactions. Fees from transactions denominated in currencies other than $SIPHER will be used to buy back and convert to $SIPHER. All transaction fees will be directed to the Vault.
- Staking for Governance: Staking $SIPHER or LP tokens is required to participate in the governance process, influencing the Sipher Vault's management and the ecosystem's future.
