Abstract

Eternal Shards Token (EST) is the foundational utility and reward token for the Eternal League gaming universe, developed by Eternal Squares Studio. EST is designed to create a sustainable, interoperable, and community driven Web3 economy across all current and future Eternal League games. Through EST, players can transact, upgrade assets, stake for governance, and earn rewards while contributing to the broader Eternal League ecosystem.
