$ROPES

$ROPES has not launched. Any "ROPES token" you see today is not ours. It will launch through Ascend after Elysium mainnet, and the only announcement will come from @PlayRopes and ropes.nerom.site.

#Role

• Backed by game volume. House-vault spread income funds $ROPES buybacks. The vault's edge is the spread, so more rounds played means more buybacks.
• Holders pick the next rope. Which Hyperliquid market gets a ROPES wall next: BTC, SOL, the weekend S&P.
• Seasons and skins. Seasonal leaderboards and climber skins use $ROPES.

#Launch

• Where: Ascend, the launchpad for Elysium projects.
• When (approximate): after ROPES is live on Elysium mainnet with real USDC and a completed security review. Target: December 2026 to January 2027.
• Why Ascend: ROPES is a game with many small repeat players and steady volume, the kind of "PVE coin" Ascend's holder and volume metrics reward.

Supply, launch-pool size and the exact buyback routing are still being designed.

The full plan, with the road to launch, is on /token. The mainnet countdown is on /mainnet.
