The New SyFu Invite Program Is Here — 30 Econ Each, Plus a TAIYAKI Campaign

Grow your MANEKINEKO and earn tokens through everyday spending, from meals to shopping.

Every step builds a track record you can be proud of.

Share the fun with a friend.

We’re renewing the SyFu Invite Program with more rewards to help your friends get started and support your own growth and next adventure.

Alongside the existing purchase-linked EVT rewards, you and your friend can each receive 30 Econ when the relevant conditions are met. Your friend also gets access to a 30-day free trial of SyFu Pass Standard.

We’re also launching a limited-time campaign where qualifying referrals earn you Uncommon TAIYAKI.

New benefits start: October 7, 2026

Friends who entered an invite code on or after September 29, 2026, before the official launch are also eligible. See “Entered an invite code before launch?” below.

🎁 Rewards for you. A head start for your friend.

What you receive

30 Econ for each qualifying referral.
EVT rewards from your friend’s purchases on the official SyFu Marketplace.
Uncommon TAIYAKI from five qualifying referrals, through the limited-time campaign.

What your friend receives

30 Econ (US$3 equivalent) to help them get started.
30 days free with SyFu Pass Standard, including EXP boosts, EVT bonuses, and other features of the paid plan.

Econ is an in-game currency used to level up MANEKINEKO and restore check-in attempts.

Your referrals also contribute to Contribution Score (CS)

Contribution Score (CS) records and evaluates contributions to the SyFu ecosystem. It is one of the criteria for future SFT allocations.

Your referrals and activity in SyFu will be reflected alongside your past Activation Code usage. We’ll share how Invite Program activity is evaluated in a future announcement.

From invite code to rewards

Who receives a code: Invite codes are issued to users who hold at least one MANEKINEKO.
How many friends you can invite: There is no limit. Your code can be used again and again.

Add a few words about the MANEKINEKO you’re raising or what you enjoy about SyFu. Copy your code and send it to a friend, along with how to get started.

Find my invite code

2. Your friend enters the code in the app

Registering a new account: Enter the code during registration.
Already created an account on the web: Enter it when you first log in to the app.

An invite code generally cannot be added or changed after this initial entry opportunity.

3. Your friend purchases a MANEKINEKO and receives their benefits

Purchase requirements

Where: The official SyFu Marketplace.
MANEKINEKO purchase: Pay at least US$50 for a MANEKINEKO.
When: Within 30 days of entering the invite code.

For eligible friends who entered a code before launch, the 30-day purchase window starts on the official launch date.

After the purchase is confirmed, your friend receives:

30 Econ
A 30-day free trial of SyFu Pass Standard

Granted benefits can be found in the app’s notification list.

Your friend’s 30 Econ and 30-day free trial are granted after purchase confirmation. They do not need to wait until their first BIND.

4. Their first BIND after purchase qualifies your referral

BIND is SyFu’s core action for using payment data to grow MANEKINEKO and earn rewards. When your friend starts playing, you benefit too.

Once your friend completes their first BIND after purchase:

You qualify for 30 Econ.
If the referral is eligible for the TAIYAKI campaign, it also counts toward your campaign total.

The 30-day deadline applies to the MANEKINEKO purchase. There is no separate deadline for the first BIND after purchase.

The free trial and your reward eligibility

Your friend’s decision to start the 30-day SyFu Pass Standard free trial is separate from your reward eligibility.
They can start the 30-day free trial before or after BIND, as long as they meet the trial’s start deadline.

Econ and EVT distribution for inviters

Distribution: Rewards are tallied at month-end and distributed together on the 9th or 10th of the following month (UTC).
Econ eligibility: Based on referrals that qualify through BIND.
EVT eligibility: Follows the existing eligible-purchase rules.

Get started with SyFu

EVT rewards from your friend’s Marketplace purchases

The existing purchase-linked EVT rewards continue.

Reward period: 180 days from the date your friend enters your invite code.
Where: The official SyFu Marketplace.
Reward basis: The amount your friend pays for each transaction.
Eligible purchases: MANEKINEKO and items, across primary sales and secondary trading.
Base rate: 1%.

The actual amount of EVT you receive is determined by market buyback results.

The terms in the original Invite Program announcement continue to apply.

These requirements for the new benefits do not become additional requirements for existing EVT rewards:

An eligible MANEKINEKO purchase of at least US$50 within 30 days.
A first BIND after purchase.

🐟 Five qualifying referrals. Your next Breed.

The TAIYAKI Referral Campaign gives you Uncommon TAIYAKI on top of the regular invite rewards.

TAIYAKI is used for Breed — creating a new MANEKINEKO from two you’ve raised. Invite friends and collect the items for your next Breed.

Qualifying referrals and the items you earn

5 qualifying referrals → 1 Uncommon TAIYAKI
10 → 2 in total
20 → 3 in total
After 20, earn 1 more for every 10 additional qualifying referrals

When a friend counts toward the campaign

Eligible friends: Those who enter your code while the campaign is accepting new referrals.
Before launch: The campaign also applies retroactively to friends who entered your code on or after September 29, 2026, before the official launch.
Purchase: Pay at least US$50 for a MANEKINEKO within the purchase window.
When they count: Once they complete their first BIND after that purchase.

The Marketplace and purchase-window requirements are set out in “From invite code to rewards” above.

How referrals are counted

Multiple invite codes: Qualifying referrals are combined under your SyFu account.
The same friend: Each friend counts once, regardless of how many purchases or BINDs they complete.

Campaign availability

This is a limited-time campaign. We may pause or stop accepting new referrals depending on TAIYAKI supply and ecosystem conditions. Referrals accepted while the campaign is open will continue to be evaluated under the purchase and BIND requirements after intake closes.

Regular invite benefits continue under their own terms when the TAIYAKI campaign ends.

Entered an invite code before launch?

Friends who entered a code on or after September 29, 2026, before the official launch are also eligible for the new benefits.

When the relevant conditions are met, this includes:

Your friend’s benefits: 30 Econ and the SyFu Pass Standard free trial.

If you haven’t purchased a MANEKINEKO yet

Purchase window: 30 days from the new benefits’ official launch date.

If you’ve already made an eligible MANEKINEKO purchase

Your benefits as the invited friend: Qualifying purchases already made will be recognized for your 30 Econ and SyFu Pass Standard trial access. You don’t need to purchase again.
Your inviter’s benefits: If the first BIND after purchase is already complete, the referral will also be recognized for the inviter’s 30 Econ and TAIYAKI count under the applicable conditions.

Recognizing past activity and counting deadlines

Benefits are not granted twice for the same activity.
Econ validity and the trial’s start deadline are counted from the actual grant date.
