Step by step

Step 01
๐Ÿช™

Get past the Gate

Hold at least 250 $KAEL in your wallet. You never spend it, you hold it. It is your key to the realm and the wall that keeps bots out. Drop below 250 and you simply wait outside until you top back up.

Step 02
๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ

Make your tribesman

Connect your wallet, pick one of six characters and a war-paint dye, and step onto the island. Your look is saved to your wallet, and the whole tribe sees it.

Step 03
๐Ÿช“

Gather and skill up

Click a tree, ore vein or fishing spot to gather. Every swing is XP across six skills, each climbing 1 to 99. Higher levels unlock better resources and faster work.

Step 04
๐Ÿ”จ

Cook, smith, build

Cook your catch into healing food, smith ore into sharper tools and weapons, and spend gold to raise your own tribal base (huts, totems, walls) right on the shared world.

Step 05
๐Ÿ’ฐ

Sell for gold

Sell what you gather to the merchant for gold, the realm's soft currency. Bank it where it is safe from looters, or risk a little on a spin at the Casino.

Step 06
โ‡„

Cash out at the bridge

At the marketplace, trade your gold for $KAEL to turn your hours into the token, or buy $KAEL to skip the grind. Risk the full-loot Bonelands for the biggest hauls.

Choose

Pick your tribe

Six Tribe of Kael characters, including the war-mask bearer

Six tribespeople to choose from, including the Maskbearer in the war-mask. Each takes a tunic dye of your choosing, so no two warriors on the island look the same.

Two currencies, one closed loop. You never earn $KAEL by playing, you earn gold, and the marketplace is where gold meets the relic. The more the tribe plays, the more $KAEL is held at the Gate and burned in the Sinks, so every hour you put in is worth more $KAEL over time.

Questions

The Codex

Do I need $KAEL just to play? +

You hold 250 $KAEL in your wallet to enter, you don't spend it. It is the tribe's gate: it keeps bots out, makes every player a stakeholder, and means demand grows with the playerbase. Sell below the threshold and you simply step outside the gate until you top back up.

How do I actually earn? +

By playing. You gather wood, ore and fish, level your skills, and sell materials for gold, the in-game currency. Gold trades against $KAEL on the marketplace, so your playtime converts to the token whenever you choose to cash out. You never earn $KAEL from a faucet, which is exactly what keeps it from inflating to zero.

Why does the token hold value? +

Because it has a job. $KAEL is never minted as a reward, so its supply only ever falls. Sinks remove it for good: marketplace fees burn a cut of every trade, gold is spent on building and gear, and the Bonelands eats the gold of the careless. Demand comes from the 250-token Gate that scales with the tribe.

What happens if I die in the Bonelands? +

You drop what you carry, and your spilled goods form a Cairn any raider can loot. That is the point: full-loot risk is what makes a gold hoard mean something. Bank your valuables, bring potions and a shield, and don't carry what you can't afford to bury.

What's it built on? +

A browser client, no downloads, just connect a Solana wallet. An authoritative server runs the world and owns every gold, item and trade, so balances can't be forged. Payments settle on-chain before anything is delivered.
