Web3 Versions of Foundation Alpha
Versions of the Foundation Alpha bundles with Web3 elements are also available at ReaperActual.com which will allow players to participate in the Web3 marketplace and own NFT versions of their bundles, and once opened, individual bases and Reapers. The Web3 bundles are extremely limited with just 10,000 bundles available in the Series 1 Genesis offering, which will be released in two phases, an initial 2,000 Series 1 Genesis, and another 8,000 bundles in Series 1 Genesis 2. Each Series will have in-game benefits that differ over time based on how early players join the Foundation phase and additional Series will be released throughout the Foundation phase. The first wave is available to purchase today, with more to follow for balanced server testing.

Players who decide to purchase a Web3 powered version of the game, built on Etherlink, will have access to trade Reapers, bases, and cosmetics through the marketplace and gain enhanced ownership. This marketplace operates separately and never impacts gameplay balance and provides maximum choice for how players prefer to own and trade their collection.

Players can also register for later Alpha and Beta waves at https://reaperactual.firstlook.gg/signup/foundationplayer.
