Epics Token wallet

What is Epics Token (EPCT)?

Open source work usually has no price attached to it. Epics attaches one: a client turns a GitHub issue into a quest backed by a smart contract holding EPCT, a developer who resolves that issue receives the prize the contract holds, and the size of a prize is what pulls attention toward one problem rather than another. The token is the unit that whole loop runs on, so EPCT tends to sit still for a while and then move in a lump when a quest settles.

That pattern shapes how you hold it. There is nothing to maintain between quests: EPCT is an SPL token, so it rests in an associated token account tied to your Solana address, the account holds a small refundable SOL deposit for rent, and nothing changes in the balance until a transfer happens. Fees on those transfers are charged in SOL, which needs to be present in the same wallet.

One thing worth knowing if you are on the client side of a quest: funding a contract is a signature from your wallet, and the funds leave your control until the quest resolves according to its terms. Read what you are signing.

A balance that only moves a few times a year still depends on a key that has to be there years later. Tangem generates that key inside the card's secure element, where it is created and stays; your backup is a second identical card rather than a phrase on paper, though you can choose to use a seed phrase if you prefer. Long gaps between transactions are exactly when a key kept in hardware beats one kept in software.
