Welcome to Infinity Rising

Published on

Today we’re evolving Cornucopias into Infinity Rising, keeping the same team, world, and progress you know, under a name and brand that match the game’s scale and style. This is a historic moment for our project. For the past four years we’ve built alongside one of the most loyal and energetic communities in web3 gaming. Don’t worry, Cornucopias isn’t going away; it remains the major nation inside the Infinity Rising multiverse. 

Players are called to cross through the World Gate, from the reality we know and into a new universe and beyond, to become honorary Cornucopians, start new lives, flourish in the floating domes we call ARCs, and to protect the world from ultimate danger.

This isn’t just a rebrand announcement. The Ascent sets the stage for the next chapter of our game and studio. In this article we’ll cover upcoming milestones, a refreshed rewards and token ecosystem, Steam and Epic listings, infrastructure services, and more.

Buckle up, and grab a cup of coffee or a beer.

Why we’re rebranding

Over the last four years, our art style and overall vision have evolved dramatically, yielding a pre-alpha we couldn’t be more excited about. With Alpha around the corner, we’re confident the game we’ve built, and will keep building, will resonate with players worldwide. The decision wasn’t easy, but as a team, we partnered with Greenroom Agency and aligned on a brand that clearly matches the game’s vision and visual identity so the impact matches the experience.

Our goal with the rebrand is to capture the world’s scale and potential. Visually, the identity needed to fit the retro-futuristic character of our in-game art. With Epic and Steam listings around the corner, it mattered that we deliver with maximum clarity and a strong first impression. We’re beyond excited about the new brand and name—while preserving Cornucopias as the “nation in the sky” where players create their new digital lives.

What is Infinity Rising?

Infinity Rising is an open-world sandbox MMO and multiverse simulator set between Cornucopias, the nation in the sky, the broken Earth below, and the worlds which lie beyond.

“Infinity” speaks to limitless, ever-expanding,  opportunities for players—expanding worlds and technology, their connections, and the risks and rewards they create – and of course, our relentless pursuit of building on this game forever. 

“Rising” hints at world and player progression—the literal ascent into infinite possibility, moving upward into life in the clouds, and breakthroughs in story, features, and technology. 

Born from the existential threat of the Calamity, a mysterious quantum storm, tearing apart the world, and reality itself, Cornucopias’ domes, powered by advanced quantum technology—anchor civilization and play. 

Guided by a mysterious figure known as “The Messenger” Players move between the sky, and surface, across the globe to explore, gather, craft, build on their own bases, trade in a player-driven economy, and strategize response to the threats of current events. 

Events such as Quantum Rifts  are linked to an unknown origin, but suspicions arise of the involvement of the Terra’s leader known as “The Prophet”, while The Terra continually threaten life in the domes and on the surface. Survival, progression and upkeep set the pace: weapons, consumables, gear, maintenance, and logistics matter.  

Play your way—defend territory or go on the offensive, craft, farm, trade, haul, and maintain or level up properties with friends and co-ops, the choice is yours. 

Quantum technology is on the rise, opening up greater possibilities, deeper mysteries and greater existential threats. The Cornucopias Republic — civilization’s reboot from a disaster that destroyed most of the surface of earth, remains the beacon, this earth’s last hope for survival, the place you protect, upgrade, and thrive, amidst ultimate adversity.

“Strength, Will, and Unity, — these are the bonds that will endure when all else is broken.” 

-The Messenger

Infinity Rising is the mandate to rise without end—world, player, and technology together.

Introducing RISE, Our New Premium Currency

Tokenomics Update

When Cornucopias began, it was at the tail end of a wild bull run — a time when NFTs and blockchain games soared to heights no one expected. Games like Axie Infinity, The Sandbox, and Decentraland were pioneers in the space, drawing global attention for how they leveraged blockchain technology to create new digital economies. It was an exciting time to watch.

But their methods for attracting and retaining players fell short of any mainstream gaming benchmark, focusing mostly on what turned out to be unsustainable reward distributions, token hype, and asset flipping; missing the most important part: players having fun.

When an industry is disrupted, the first wave rarely gets everything right. New entrants learn from those early mistakes and improve. The last cycle made one thing obvious — when rewards grow faster than real demand, it opens the door for opportunists to drain value from projects that genuine supporters believe in.

We’ve used this rebrand as an opportunity to take a full look at our tokenomics and address areas for improvement, which has led to the creation of the RISE token. Soon, RISE will replace COPI as the ecosystem driver of Infinity Rising (more detail below).  At this time, you don’t need to take any action. There are no token swaps or migrations happening right now. Please do not attempt to trade, swap, or claim any “new” RISE tokens unless we officially announce it through our verified channels.  

Why Migrate?

With the rebrand, keeping the COPI token would have created a disconnect between the game and its new identity. Since token contracts are immutable, we couldn’t simply rename or repurpose it. Instead, we took this as an opportunity to evaluate our tokenomics and build something stronger for the future.

Key Updates:

Supply Reduction

  • We’re reducing the total token supply from 3.84 billion to 3.00 billion.

By tightening supply while gameplay and marketplace demand continue to grow, RISE sets the stage for a stronger, more sustainable token economy with less dilution and greater long-term value potential.

Reward Rebalance

The Community Rewards pool has been restructured from 1.75 billion to 965 million tokens, now divided between:

  • Gameplay Rewards: 724.1M
  • Node Rewards: 241.4M

This shift marks a complete departure from the inflated “play-to-earn” models of the past. RISE rewards continue to be focused on skill, consistency, and ecosystem contribution, ensuring value creation is sustainable over time. The refill mechanism is tied more directly to revenue generation and player growth, while long-term sustainability is governed by our Daily Rewards Index.

Team Allocation Reduction

  • The team allocation has been reduced from 921.6M to 821.6M tokens

Liquidity Increase

  • The liquidity allocation has increased by 49.6M tokens, bringing the total to 164.6M, reserved exclusively for top-tier exchanges such as Bybit, OKX, Binance, Coinbase, Bitget, and Upbit.

This ensures RISE achieves the accessibility, depth, and stability needed to support our expanding player base. Stay tuned for new listings in the near future.

Other Developments:

Infinity Wallet

  • We are partnering with DFNS to build a completely seamless, multi-chain, non-custodial wallet system for our users. For more information about DFNS, visit dfns.co 
  • Email or SSO encrypted wallets, containing Cardano and Base addresses

This will serve as the key foundation to our explosive growth, not just with web3 gamers, but facilitating easy conversion mechanics for the “credit card only” users. There will be no seed phrases or tedious steps when setting up a wallet. The system will support our peer-to-peer marketplace, allowing cross-chain trading for a fluid asset economy.

Purchase Rewards

  • Every purchase on the primary marketplace will reward users with RISE to their rewards dashboard
  • Users that pay with RISE will receive more rewards
  • Users who pay with other currencies will still earn RISE rewards, but at a reduced rate. This helps onboard newcomers and non-crypto players while encouraging them to transition into full-time RISE holders as they engage more deeply with the ecosystem.

Think of it as a “cash back” rewards program that gives players an extra boost the next time they purchase a jetpack or building kit. It removes friction for all types of users, improves conversion, and makes the overall experience more rewarding and enjoyable.

Player Owned Asset Rewards

We’re expanding beyond basic gameplay rewards with a revamped player owned asset (POA, aka NFT) rewards program. Previously, rewards were limited to staking for land plots and custom domes. Now, with improved systems and infrastructure, players can access an in-game Rewards Kiosk to claim benefits across all POA types, including Cornucopias Credits (CC) items and Infinity bonuses—for example, an NFT2Tree owner might receive a daily lumber reward.

Every player owned asset used in gameplay—new or legacy—now carries two key reward benefits: in-game resource drops and Infinity multipliers. These multipliers form a dynamic system that scales player rewards based on participation and ownership. Seasonal or event-based adjustments keep the system aligned with current gameplay themes, ensuring that asset ownership remains strategically valuable and ever-evolving. The result is greater utility, depth, and lasting value for every premium asset in the game.

Infrastructure Utility

We’ve already developed a commercial-grade node system that delivers game downloads efficiently and securely. Building on that foundation, we plan to expand into additional infrastructure services. While still early in development, our goal is to integrate these systems into an Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) model, where all customer settlements are made in RISE. Plenty more details to come on this in the tokenomics paper.

Asset Synthesizer

You play the game, you grind for assets – they should be yours, right? With our synthesize portal, you’ll have the opportunity to convert some selected in-game items into player owned assets. Just go to your account on the website and use your Infinity and a small fee in RISE to become an unrestricted owner of that asset. More details to come.

Migration Details

Migration Timeline

November 13th @ 15:00 UTC

  • COPI trading paused on CEXs, remaining liquidity withdrawn from DEXs. 
  • Migration sites open for conversion
  • CEXs snapshot and conversion (exact details for CEX migration will be provided)

November 13th @ 16:00 UTC

  • RISE trading begins on CEXs, liquidity re-established on DEXs.
  • EVM Staking site opens for RISE and LP deposits
  • VyFi Vaults open for RISE and LP deposits

REWARDS NOTICE 

To make the migration from COPI to RISE as smooth and fair as possible, we’re gradually winding down COPI rewards for LP contributors. This approach allows the community to transition together and stabilizes liquidity ahead of the cutoff date.
 

  • October 23rd - Reduction to 50% of the current daily EVM LP staking rewards
  • October 30th - Reduction to 25% of the current daily EVM LP staking rewards
  • November 6th - Reduction to 0% of the current daily EVM LP staking rewards
  • No impact to VyFi Token Staking or EVM Token Staking until migration date as they are facilitating a seamless unstake-swap-restake system
     

Migration Contracts:

Every COPI token will be converted to RISE at a 1-to-1 ratio.

Migration Steps

Users holding COPI will be able to migrate to RISE tokens through the Chainport platform (EVM) and VyFi (Cardano).

Official links for migration will be provided soon.

Incentive Phases

We’re introducing several reward mechanisms to encourage token holders to migrate their COPI to RISE. More details will be provided soon.
