The Path to Elite | The first season to lock EVT, earn TAIYAKI, and build Contribution Score

Mainnet is getting closer.

The first mission to unlock the future of the SyFu ecosystem is here: the EVT Contribution Program.

Whether you are carefully raising your current Uncommon, waiting to meet your next MANEKINEKO, or supporting SyFu at its root as a Genesis holder, every player can become a key part of creating this first cycle from this moment on.

EVT is not just a reward. It is the raw material that carries MANEKINEKO into the next generation.
What SyFu values is simple: who creates the cycle.

That is exactly what Season 1 “Ignition” is about — a limited two-month chapter.
Take your first step toward becoming a future breeder, starting here.

What you need to do is simple:

  • Lock your EVT in either Hard (fixed for 60 days) or Soft (unlockable anytime)

What you receive is clear:

  • The Breed item TAIYAKI (Uncommon)

  • If you are a Genesis holder participating in Hard Lock, you also gain access to the White TAIYAKI lottery

  • White TAIYAKI is a special item that has a 50% chance of producing an Elite MANEKINEKO

And there is one more important point.

Your locked amount and duration will accumulate as Contribution Score, which will later connect to future SFT design and broader ecosystem contribution evaluation.

In one sentence

EVT Contribution is a program where you lock EVT, receive TAIYAKI, and accumulate Contribution Score that connects to future SFT allocation.

TL;DR

  • Participation types: Hard Lock (fixed for 60 days / upfront rewards) or Soft Lock (unlockable / progress-based rewards)

  • Reward 1: The Breed item TAIYAKI (Uncommon). The final number of TAIYAKI you can earn is the same for both Hard and Soft.

  • Hard: receive rewards upfront

  • Soft: reach rewards gradually through daily progress

  • Reward 2: Contribution Score, a record of contribution that will be used as one of the evaluation metrics for future SFT allocation

  • Special reward: White TAIYAKI (Uncommon) lottery, available only to Genesis holders who participate in Hard Lock

  • Fastest bonus: Ignition lottery — a limited White TAIYAKI allocation (30 total) for Genesis holders who complete Hard Lock within 48 hours from the program start at 2026/03/15 12:00 UTC

  • Reference time: 00:00 UTC daily (Soft counting / lottery snapshots)

  • Soft CAP: 30,000 EVT

  • Initial total: 80,000 EVT

  • Maximum operational cap (planned): 100,000 EVT

About operational flexibility

Depending on market demand and supply conditions, the team may, at its discretion:

  • Reallocate Soft capacity to Hard capacity

  • Open additional capacity above the initial cap

Please note:

  • Whether additional capacity is opened, in what quantity, and when, is not guaranteed in advance

  • Under no circumstances will the 48-hour Ignition eligibility window be extended

  • Ignition lottery eligibility is granted only to participants who complete Hard Lock within 48 hours from T0

Reward Structure 1: Breed Item “TAIYAKI” (Uncommon)

TAIYAKI (Uncommon) is designed so that the final total number you can receive is the same whether you choose Hard or Soft.

Hard Lock: Immediate reward upon completion

Rewards are granted immediately as compensation for your commitment, based on your lock amount:

  • 250 EVT → 1

  • 500 EVT → 2

  • 750 EVT → 3

  • 1,000 EVT → 4 (maximum)

Soft Lock: Progress-based rewards

At 00:00 UTC each day, your deposited amount (in units of 250 EVT) is added as daily progress in the form of EVT-days.

Every time your cumulative progress reaches 15,000 EVT-days, you receive 1 TAIYAKI (up to 4 total).

① How daily progress accumulates

Progress is calculated based on your deposited amount at 00:00 UTC each day, in units of 250 EVT:

  • 250 EVT deposited: +250 EVT-days per day

  • 500 EVT deposited: +500 EVT-days per day

  • 750 EVT deposited: +750 EVT-days per day

  • 1,000 EVT deposited: +1,000 EVT-days per day (maximum)

② Reward is granted each time you reach 15,000 EVT-days

Each time your cumulative progress reaches 15,000 EVT-days, you receive 1 TAIYAKI.

Important: Soft Lock EVT-days cap

Soft Lock progress (EVT-days) is capped at 60,000 EVT-days total (= 15,000 × 4).

Once you reach this cap:

  • You can no longer gain additional Contribution Score

  • You can no longer gain additional TAIYAKI from Soft Lock

Also, even if you unlock Soft Lock, your accumulated EVT-days are preserved.
If you lock Soft again later, your progress resumes from where it left off.

  • Any TAIYAKI obtained (including White TAIYAKI) will be distributed directly to the SyFu app once conditions are met or you win the lottery

Soft → Hard Migration

You cannot participate in Hard and Soft at the same time.
However, migration from Soft to Hard is allowed during the application period only.

Even if you unlock Soft, your accumulated EVT-days are preserved and will not reset.

The amount of EVT you can lock in Hard is determined by how many Normal TAIYAKI you have already earned through Soft.

You can only lock up to the EVT amount corresponding to your remaining unearned TAIYAKI (up to 4 total).

Maximum Hard Lock amount based on Soft progress

  • 0 TAIYAKI earned in Soft → Hard Lock up to 1,000 EVT

  • 1 earned in Soft → Hard Lock up to 750 EVT

  • 2 earned in Soft → Hard Lock up to 500 EVT

  • 3 earned in Soft → Hard Lock up to 250 EVT

  • 4 earned in Soft (max reached) → Cannot migrate to Hard

Reward Structure 2: Contribution Score

Your contribution record is accumulated daily as Contribution Score, based on the amount of EVT you lock and how long you keep it locked.

Accumulation rule

Daily score is added based on your evaluated locked amount at 00:00 UTC each day, in units of 250 EVT.

Hard Lock bonus

Hard participants accumulate 1.5x the normal score for the same amount.

  • Soft: Hold 250 EVT = 20 pt / day

  • Hard: Hold 250 EVT = 30 pt / day

※Contribution Score from Soft Lock stops accumulating once total Soft progress reaches 60,000 EVT-days, just like the Soft EVT-days cap

Proof of contribution

Your accumulated score will serve as a core metric for determining priority allocation within the ecosystem, including future SFT distribution.

White TAIYAKI (Genesis-only / Hard-only)

White TAIYAKI is a rare item that, when used in Breed, has a 50% chance of producing an Elite MANEKINEKO.

Eligibility and participation requirements

Only Genesis holders who are also Hard participants are eligible.

At the time of each snapshot, all of the following conditions must be met:

  • Your Hard Lock must still be active

  • You must hold at least 1 Genesis in the SyFu app (in-game)

  • You must have completed 33% or more cumulative lifespan recovery within the last 28 days

  • Final round only: You must have completed Breed 4 times or more during the Season

White TAIYAKI Lottery

How your winning chance is determined

No complicated calculation is needed.

Your Hard Lock amount directly determines the number of lottery entries you receive:

  • 250 EVT locked: 1 entry

  • 500 EVT locked: 2 entries

  • 750 EVT locked: 3 entries

  • 1,000 EVT locked: 4 entries (maximum)

※Genesis holdings are determined based on what is recognized inside the SyFu app (in-game). Holdings in the SyFu Wallet alone are not eligible

Important lottery rules

1) Maximum one win per round

Even if you hold multiple entries (up to 4), you can win up to 1 White TAIYAKI per address in each lottery round (Ignition / each Weekly round / Final).

  • Weekly lotteries are held each week (Week 1, Week 2, etc.), so you may win again in a different week

2) Unissued / carry-over rule

If the number of eligible participants is smaller than the number of available rewards, the unused amount will, in principle, be carried over to future rounds.

If there are still not enough eligible participants in the Final round, the remaining amount will be treated as unissued (supply cut).

Ignition Lottery — Extra Chance to Enter the Elite Route Fastest

    ※Log in with email authentication
    ※You can also access it from the SyFu app: Sidebar → Claim Site

  2. Go to “EVT Contribution”

  3. Choose either Hard Lock or Soft Lock

  • You can participate in only one at a time

  • Simultaneous participation in Hard and Soft is not allowed

  • This program uses your EVT balance in the Spending Wallet

FAQ

Q1. Can I join both Hard and Soft?

No. You can only participate in one at a time.

However, migrating from Soft to Hard is allowed during the application period.

Even after unlocking Soft, your EVT-days are preserved.

When moving to Hard, you can only lock the amount corresponding to your remaining unearned TAIYAKI from Soft.

Example: If you already earned 2 TAIYAKI in Soft, your maximum Hard Lock amount is 500 EVT.

  • Hard cannot be unlocked early

Q2. If I unlock Soft, do I lose my EVT-days?

No.

Your EVT-days remain even after unlocking Soft.

They do not increase while unlocked, but if you lock Soft again later, progress resumes from where it stopped.

Q3. Is there a cap on Soft EVT-days?

Yes.

Soft EVT-days are capped at 60,000 total.

Once you reach the cap, you can no longer gain additional Contribution Score or TAIYAKI from Soft.

Q4. Which Soft balance is counted, and when?

Your balance at 00:00 UTC each day is used as the 기준.

If you deposit or withdraw across that boundary, it will only be reflected starting from the next day’s 00:00 UTC.

Q5. Can I join midway? Until when can I join?

Yes.

As long as there is remaining capacity, you can still join during the Season and remain eligible for White lotteries.

White lotteries (weekly/final) are held only during the Season.

However, lock applications themselves are accepted until T0 + 60 days.

Important: How Hard Lock and lotteries work if you join midway

  • Hard Lock unlock date: 60 days after your personal lock start date

  • Weekly / Final White lotteries: Held only during the Season

  • If you join midway, the number of weekly lotteries you can enter depends on how many weeks remain

  • After the Season ends, weekly lotteries no longer occur even if your Hard Lock is still active

  • You may still participate in the Final lottery if you meet the conditions

Example

If you start Hard Lock in Week 4 of the Season, you are eligible for:

  • Weekly lotteries from Week 4 to Week 8

  • Plus the Final lottery

Q6. When is Hard Lock unlocked?

Hard Lock is unlocked 60 days after the date you locked it.

This is counted individually and is not tied to the Season end date.

Your unlock date may come after the Season has ended.

Q7. If I miss the 48H Ignition window, can I still aim for White TAIYAKI?

Yes.

Ignition is only a special extra allocation. After that, you can still join the Weekly and Final lotteries.

Only the Ignition allocation specifically requires Hard completion within 48 hours.

Q8. What are the participation requirements for the White TAIYAKI lottery?

The base conditions are:

  • Holding Genesis

  • Having an active Hard Lock

In addition, each round requires you to meet active conditions.

Example: Active conditions in Season 1

  • At the snapshot, you must have completed 33% or more cumulative lifespan recovery within the last 28 days

  • For the Final lottery, you must additionally have completed Breed 4 times or more during the Season

Not eligible examples

  • Even if you hold Genesis, you are not eligible if you have not done lifespan recovery

  • Even if you are in Hard Lock, you are not eligible for the Final if your Breed count is insufficient

Q9. Which gives more regular TAIYAKI, Hard or Soft?

Neither.

The final number of regular TAIYAKI you can receive is the same.

  • Hard: upfront receipt

  • Soft: received when your EVT-days reach each milestone

Q10. Where will the items I earn be delivered?

They will be reflected immediately inside the SyFu app.

Q11. Why am I not considered eligible for Ignition even though I completed Hard within 48 hours?

Because Ignition requires more than just completing Hard within 48 hours.

At the snapshot timing — the first 00:00 UTC after the deadline — you must also satisfy the required conditions such as 33% lifespan recovery, etc.
