The Architects: Cult as an Economy
Arlen
3 min.
At the heart of it all lies $CULT, the token that fuels everything from minting NFTs to unlocking DeFi integrations. But this isn’t just another token launch. It’s a meticulously designed economy, steeped in lore, strategy, and an unwavering belief in the power of community.
$CULT is the foundation of The Architects’ ecosystem, serving as the minting token for Architect NFTs. With only 1,000,000 $CULT in existence and a Mint/Burn Mechanism, its supply is inherently deflationary.
Of the total supply, 5% (50,000 $CULT) will be paired with BTC to seed a liquidity pool on Osmosis, managed by a Magma vault and governed by the Holders’ DAO—ensuring sustainability while allowing holders to earn yield.
The OPS DAO, led by the five founding fathers, oversees the project treasury. Their mission? Maintain long-term sustainability by accumulating BTC and applying strategic pressure on $CULT, ensuring its value remains integral to the ecosystem.
The Rites dashboard is more than an upgrade system for Architect NFTs—it’s a marketing and rewards powerhouse. At launch, it will facilitate partnerships and offer rewards through lootboxes. With 10% of the total raise allocated as initial rewards, the dashboard keeps the ecosystem dynamic and engaging.
Through Stargaze, Architects can grow their BTC holdings while accumulating NFTs, leveraging collection offers, infinity pools, and DeFi integrations. BTC liquidity fuels growth and exposure across the Cosmos. Future plans include enabling $CULT as collateral for minting stablecoins and even using Architect NFTs for loans, further intertwining The Architects with the broader DeFi landscape.
The CULTdrop is an upcoming event designed to reward active communities and welcome their most engaged members into the Architects ecosystem. 10% of $CULT is allocated to our collective partners.
We’ve structured its distribution to protect StreamSwap participants (who swapped $USDC for $CULT) while still allowing new communities to join seamlessly.
Whether obtained through StreamSwap, BTC trading, or partner NFT roles, every participant can be part of the mint event from day one.
The Architects aren’t just building an ecosystem, they’re constructing a self-sustaining, ritualistic economy where participation drives value. Through $CULT, BTC, interoperable NFTs, and our own gamified quest system, we’ve created an experience that blends DeFi, culture, and art.
This is our world and you’re invited to help build it.
