SIPHER wallet

What is SIPHER (SIPHER)?

Behind the SIPHER ticker stands a game studio, not a DeFi protocol. Sipher builds a sci-fi action RPG universe (its flagship title is Sipher Odyssey) populated by NFT characters from the Inu and Neko collections, and SIPHER is the token that ties that universe together: it acts as the governance token of the Sipher ecosystem and as the in-game currency for purchases and rewards inside the studio's titles. The studio itself later took the name Ather Labs, but the token still carries its original name and ticker.

How it lives on the network

SIPHER is a standard ERC-20 token on Ethereum mainnet. There is no token account to open; the balance simply sits at an Ethereum address. What matters in practice is fees: every transfer, approval or in-game deposit of SIPHER is paid for in ETH, so an address that holds SIPHER without any ETH cannot move it anywhere. Keep a small ETH balance next to the token if you plan to use it in the game or trade it.

Two things are easy to mix up. First, the name of the studio (Ather Labs) and the name of the token (SIPHER) do not match, so a search for the company will not always lead to the right token listing. Second, Sipher's NFT characters are separate NFT assets and are not the same as the SIPHER balance, even though both come from the same project.

Supported networks in Tangem (1): Ethereum.

Because SIPHER only moves when there is ETH to pay for it, having both under one key on one card is the practical setup: the Tangem app builds the transfer and the card signs it by tapping the card to the phone, without a cable or a charged device in between. Anyone who spends SIPHER in-game from time to time and holds the rest between sessions gets that whole routine from a single card.
