Survival guide

How it works

  1. 01

    Bring a wallet

    Your Glyph wallet is your identity, on the site and in the game. Connect, sign a free message, and claim a username. No seed-phrase gymnastics; Glyph handles it.

    Pledge a community

    Choose one of the ApeChain communities at the gates. This pledge is permanent. Every run you survive feeds your community's score for the length of the gauntlet. Choose like it matters, because it does.

    Run the stage

    Each week the Blight corrupts a new 2.5D stage of four environments. Collect both rare resources in every environment and reach the end for a Full Victory. Your score is computed from everything you carry out, and how fast you carried it.

    Earn FRAGS

    Fragments are the gauntlet's currency. Collect them in your runs or buy them with $APE in the Store, then spend them on perks. They can't be transferred, traded, or taken.

    Spend on perks

    The Store sells perks in three tiers (basic, epic, legendary), plus community-wide perks any member can light up for everyone. Buy them with FRAGS, then activate when you need them; the timer only starts when you do.

    Collect badges

    Every Full Victory earns that stage's badge, minted to your wallet once the week's results are reviewed. Other achievements are recorded on your profile. Badges are never needed to play.

    Claim the spoils

    Weekly prizes go to the top 50 players with a Full Victory, and first place spins the wheel for an ape. The grand jackpot starts at 10,000 APE, grows with 20% of every Fragment bundle, and goes to one winner after week eight: every valid point is an entry.
