🎲 Echelon × Civitia: Rolling Dice at the Upper Echelon

Share Dialog

A new campaign has landed on Initia - connecting DeFi strategy with on-chain gameplay. For the next two weeks (Oct 23 → Nov 6), players and lenders unite in the Echelon Sponsored Season, a collaboration between Echelon Market and Civitia, the first on-chain city-building economy.

🏙 About Civitia

Civitia is a decentralized social-financial game built on the Initia modular blockchain with Celestia data availability.

Players roll dice, buy or rent cities, and earn yield across a real-time, on-chain board - merging economic gameplay with DeFi mechanics.

Each season brings new “Seasonal Cities” that reset after every epoch, rewarding top contributors with INIT, VIP points, and rent yield.

Learn more about Civitia’s mechanics → docs.civitia.org

Campaign Overview

The Echelon Sponsored Season introduces two new limited-time cities:

  • Lend City - earn by lending INIT on Echelon

  • Borrow City - earn by borrowing USDC on Echelon

Players completing these actions on Echelon (Initia deployment) can mint free city units and start generating yield inside Civitia.

Rewards

Throughout the two-week campaign running from October 23 to November 6, 2025, participants can earn additional on-chain rewards across both Civitia and Echelon::

  • 15K INIT jackpot boost for Civitia Season 21

  • 72K VIP rewards distributed through Initia’s ranking system

  • 10% of Echelon Stage 15 VIP emissions allocated to Seasonal City owners

Snapshot: all addresses that minted the seasonal cities after completing Echelon tasks will receive the bonus.
