P a g e | 1 O fficial Erebus Whitepaper s Pledging, Upgrades, Boosts and More As we eagerly approach the next chapter with in the Erebus Metaverse , there are few important points summoners will find helpful when p ledg ing (staking) their creature. Pledging A.K.A Staking : Pledging allows holders to stake their NFT creature and gain a set amount of $ER E BS tokens dail y. How will staking be implement ed ? We introduce the Erebus C ovenant . T he Covenant is the birthplace for the Erebus creatures, t he E lders who control the covenant ha ve the power to summon any specific creature back to t h e covenant The Elders themselves are yet to be introduced to the mass public. They are the foundation of Erebus. W hen creatures are summoned back , they will have access to immense powe r The covenant ’ s power was unknown until the revelation o n May 2 nd , 2022. The revelation indicated the presence of an extraordinary power source, we now know to be $EREBS The longer your creature (s) stay in the C ovenant, the more power they are able to acquire Additionally , creatures will also have the capability to access a variety of upgrades & boosts More on that below. What about the creatures on the different blockchains? Yes, there are creatures scattered throughout the different blockchains and creatures within all collection s can be summoned back to the covenant. Although all collections hold the different rarities and distinct attributes, t he Autochthon Erebus are the elite. Autochthon creatures were the first collection to be unleash ed into world of NFTs in November of 2021. As a result, owning an autochthon creature is a requireme nt for any other creature to be summoned back to the Covenant. How /When can we join the C ovenant and earn the $EREBS power source ? $EREBS contract : 0xD80E3D99180768B3Fbd5Be7077aaE98a9b9617e3 Supply: 50B When 75% of the Autochthon Collection i s sold out the ability to pledge will be available In order to pledge, users must attain an Autochthon creature as well as $EREBS tokens. The amount of $EREBS tokens required will be based on the autochthon creature ’s digit number. Basically, users can’t pledge any Autochthon creature without supplying $EREBS tokens. Higher digit numbers will require more $EREBS to be able to pledge, the lower digit numbers will require less $EREBS to pledge. Similarly, t he higher the traits the higher $EREBS will be generated for the pledged creature. Please r efer to the pledging examples in the chart s below.

Consequently, with one Autochthon pledged creature you may earn up to 50 $EREBS tokens daily. All pledged creatures will automatically un - stake ( reset ) after a specific period of time based on their trait i.e. their strength in b racing that enormous intake of power (refer to chart below). Only Ala stors and Dark Royal Blood creatures are strong enough to continue their pledge without the need of unstaking. There are also boosts that may allow creatures to have the strength to hold on longer.

A gate formed using the dark powers of Mana and the ancestral powers of the Elders. The gate not only kept things out or in, the gate was a portal to multi - universes. The Elders decision to release the Autochthon creatures into our world was the beginning of a change for both our universes. As the Autochthon creatures passed through the gate, so did 70 other creatures, against the wil l of the Elders. The gate itself decided to punish these creatures by distorting them as they went through. We now know these creatures to be the Erebus Pixel. Unknowingly, the power the gate used to distort these creatures was trapped within them. That Ma na now lingers and enables all 70 of the Pixel Erebus creatures to have a symbiotic connection with the Autochthon creatures. Preceding any creature passing through the gate, only the Dark Royal Blood (DRB) were able to multiply (to produce more creature s). The DRB only did so on rare occasion with the blessing of the P a g e | 4 Elders. This only happened within the gate, never beyond and only with other DRB creatures. That symbiotic connection created by the Mana of the gate has changed this forever. For the firs t time, creatures will be able to multiply beyond the gate. However, only the Erebus Pixel will be able to merge with the DRB with the power it seeks , only once, due to that Mana power lingering within them. As a result, the first summoners who summon (own) a DRB as well as an Erebus Pixel and the power it seeks will be able to merge the two, creating the ultimate hybrid. The merge will have a significant role in the Erebus Core game (TBA). The merge will have a God - Level Trait. The attributes wi ll be based on the selected DRB and the specific Erebus Pixel creature. Erebus Pixel Boosts: Each Erebus Pixel creature carries a code within the unlockable. The code will show the compatible P ower required to activate the merger. They will be the most Go d - detailed 70 NFTs to have ever been summoned, they will be called the Atramentous To Merge: Pixel Erebus x the selected code trait in the unlockable x DRB. Erebus pixel #0 with a quantity of 20 were airdropped to the early summoners. The other 50 Erebus Pixel creatures are still roaming on the Rarible platform. Once a Pixel Erebus is summoned by a human(purchased/owned), the summoner will have these access powers : 1 - Merging (minting one of the seventy x 1/1 God - tiers NFTs that will be used for the upcoming Erebus Core game) 2 - Pledging 100% free tax and 20% Boost 3 - Elders Core free mint (Capped 1k Supply) 4 - Unlimited reset (creatures can be staked for life) 5 - No code traits required (ability to choose a trait) for Erebus Pixel # 0 There are 3 rare Pixel traits in the Rarible collection , as you know , Pixel Erebus # 0 is the third rare trait type The other top 2 Pixel Erebus (#?/#?) will have the same as the Pixel Erebus #0 but they possess 0.03% royalties from the Autochthon Erebus secondary sales for life, once the Autochthon Collectio n is sold out. The two secret traits are waiting to be discovered. Tax A tax will be applied, the percentage of less tax applies by the level of traits, attributes, and boosts. The average set tax is 23% and it is susceptible to change when upgrades are applied. Again , you can’t pledge the other collections without a n Autochthon Erebus NFT The Erebus Pixel will be the first collection to add boost s to the creature’s power ($EREBS) . Each Erebus Pixel come s with a secret code in the unlockable . The code represents the specific Autochthon Erebus you can pledge with to get that Extra 10+ boost. The Erebus Pixel generates 35 + $EREBS when they are pledged with the Autochthon Erebus. There are only 7 0 Erebus Pixels s cattered o n the Rarib le platform (20 of which were airdropped). P a g e | 5 Earning Stable Coin In order to unlock the Stable Coin Reward System, Autochthon Erebus creatures needs to reach 100% sold. By adding a Stable Coin reward system, the amount of $EREBS investors will increase. We esti mate the price of $EREBS coin will range between 0.3$ - 1$ per token. After 511K $EREBS tokens are sold , 100% of sales subsequently will be put back into the project’s treasury. As a result, a liquidity pool will be created to earn a stable coin on one of the biggest Dex liquidity pool protocols, such as UniSwap. We are aiming to add USDT or USDC pairs with a (11% and plus) daily interests - $EREBS/USDT - $EREBS/USDC To earn more stable coin, you need more #EREBS. To achieve a higher earning is set on the qua ntity of #EREBS tokens the holder owns. The more #EREBS tokens staked the more stable coin the holder will earn. There will be five tier - levels for earning rewards: - 1 - 2k $EREBS staked tokens will earn 11% Daily interests in stable coin - 2k - 5k $EREBS tok ens staked will earn 20% Daily interests in stable coin - 5k – 10k $EREBS tokens staked will earn 25% Daily interests in stable coin - 10k – 15k $EREBS tokens staked will earn 30% Daily interest in stable coin - 15 – 20k $EREBS tokens staked will earn 35% Daily interest in stable coin The Future of Erebus: A P2E (Play to Earn) Erebus Void Game will be released where Autochthon Erebus holders will be able to use their powers based on their trait, attribute and powers within the game itself and gain ! The creatures have been roaming for almost a year examining humans , analyzing their spaces and are ready to make their mark. Once 100% of all the Autochthon Erebus creatures find their rightful soul, 75% of the generated power (ETH) from sales will be put back into the covenant. The gained power from the sales will be directed to a public ETH address that will be posted in order to keep transparency. The remaining 25% power from sales will go to the representatives of the Erebus Team. The representatives are t he messengers (Theia and Blu3). From that amount, representatives will be paying the ever so loyal and appreciated Mods on the Erebus Discord Channel. The team want s the world to recognize the true beauty of these dark creatures and what they represent. T he Autochthon collection is the first large collection (3k) to be minted individually without the use of a generative AI. Each creature is manually rendered and taken care of. Remember , i f you own a n Autochthon creature, you own a special key A n access to unlimited generative power. The covenant will display just how powerful their energy source can be. P a g e | 6 Lastly but definitely not least, within these whitepapers we’d like to recognize, appreciate and thank the specific individuals who visualize and be lieve in the Erebus goals and vision: ❖ Thanks to Vova and SofiKu , the artist s who helped bring the creatures to life ❖ Thanks to Illuday the dev genius who created the web gate https://www.erebusnft.com ❖ Thanks to the mods and early supporters for their consistency of promoting and shouting out the Erebus name in the NFT space. The intriguing shape and design of these creature along with their individual unique character will compel the rest of the world to understand and appreciate what darkness and beauty represent when they are united, Erebus.
