Players Win Big as $SHARDS Token Launches Fair Play Economy in WorldShards

Lowkick Studio has announced the official launch of the $SHARDS token, a key component of its upcoming blockchain-powered MMORPG, WorldShards. The token generation event (TGE) coincided with the token’s listing on top-tier exchanges, including Bybit and Binance Alpha, marking a pivotal step in the game’s journey from Early Access toward a full PC release. The game offers players a 30-day free trial, with those remaining active for at least 25 days securing permanent access [2].

The $SHARDS token operates on a 100% fair launch model, ensuring that no tokens are allocated to the development team or early investors. Instead, 60% of the token supply is reserved for player rewards, while 25% supports ecosystem development and liquidity, and 15% is allocated to community engagement and marketing efforts. The total maximum supply is capped at 5 billion tokens, with all allocations subject to a 6-year vesting period. Prior to the TGE, players received Proxy $SHARDS tokens, which will convert to actual $SHARDS tokens upon the TGE’s completion [1].

WorldShards has already demonstrated strong traction in the blockchain gaming sector. Before the token launch, the game recorded over $8.9 million in NFT sales, attracted more than 400,000 community members, and accumulated over 3.1 million hours of gameplay. The project has also garnered industry recognition, including the “Most Anticipated Blockchain Game (2025)” and “Best Game Design (2025)” awards from PlayToEarn.com [2].

The game combines traditional MMORPG elements with blockchain-based digital ownership. Players can explore, craft, engage in PvE battles, and live on their own islands, all while owning NFTs such as digital land and collectible items. The $SHARDS token is central to the in-game economy, enabling players to improve collectible items, process rifts, purchase rare items, and re-roll item stats. Additionally, players can withdraw $SHARDS from the in-game wallet to their personal cryptocurrency wallets for further trading and transactions [1].

To support the token’s use across multiple blockchains, WorldShards has launched an official bridge between Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain (BSC). The bridge allows for secure transfers of $SHARDS tokens between the two networks and has been independently audited to meet the latest security standards. Players are advised to use only the official bridge and token addresses to avoid potential losses from third-party services [3].

The $SHARDS token is currently listed on major exchanges, with a circulating supply of 1 billion tokens and a maximum supply of 5 billion. As of the TGE, the token reached an all-time high of $0.0357, with a 24-hour trading volume of $49.03 million. The token’s market capitalization stands at $26.10 million, representing a small but growing presence in the broader cryptocurrency market [4].

WorldShards is developed by Lowkick Studio, a team of industry veterans with backgrounds in companies such as Wargaming and Mail.ru. The project is supported by Open Loot and Abu Dhabi Gaming, with plans to expand to global PC and mobile audiences in the near future [2].
