In Brief:
- Ahead of the RSGP genesis launch, Cambria is collapsing its onchain asset ecosystem down to one token: RSGP.
- Snapshots for the four deprecated collections are set for August 28, 2026, with each collection’s utility rolled into RSGP.
- The studio says the change should tighten value accrual, make the experience simpler for users, and cut development overhead.
Cambria merges assets into RSGP
With the RSGP genesis launch approaching, Cambria is folding its asset ecosystem into a single token. Four of the studio’s existing collections are being sunset as part of that process, and the utility attached to each one moves over to RSGP. Snapshots of those collections are scheduled for August 28, 2026, at 10 AM PT.
The Founder NFT, carrying a value of roughly 1.2 million USD, is being wound down and its utility absorbed into token holder tiers. The Cores NFT, worth approximately 400,000 USD, moves across to veRSGP staking. Companions, at 20,000 USD, become part of in-game trading. Arena Tokens disappear altogether, with their role handed off to in-game Shards or swapped for Keys.
Reasons for the consolidation
Fragmented value accrual was the issue Tempest Labs pointed to first. Because every asset carried its own value mechanism, the collections ended up competing with one another for utility routes, which held back growth across the board. The studio also noted that spreading four collections across multiple chains made them hard to discover, another obstacle to user engagement.
Overhead on the development side factored in too. Running several live onchain products at once added complexity and left updates trailing well behind schedule. That drag slowed the ecosystem down and pulled resources away from work that could have gone into the game itself.
Assumptions about how the assets would perform also shaped the decision. Some were built as scale bets tied to player growth that never arrived, and the gap between that premise and reality left their perceived value disconnected.
Impact on existing assets
For Founders, NFT utility carries over to RSGP by way of a two-part allocation in the Genesis Airdrop, with additional inputs such as Loyalty Score and First Founder status. Founders keep their NFTs along with every perk they hold today, multipliers and priority benefits included.
Holders of Cores receive RSGP allocations, and staking is now built into the ecosystem itself. Staking RSGP will generate Cosmetic Shards and preserve the functions Companions already have.
Companions move fully off-chain, and the 27,723 NFTs will be traded in-game via the Companion Bazaar, opening the experience up to users who aren’t in crypto. Arena Tokens roll into a unified token economy, with existing balances treated the same way earlier conversions were.
Cambria’s performance data
Behind the decision sits a considerable track record: more than 160 million USD in lifetime onchain game volume and over 3 million USD in revenue since spring 2023. Gold Rush has done much of that lifting, pulling in over 1.7 million USD during its third season.
The studio has kept adding to player engagement with features such as Dungeon Fishing, which opened up new routes to acquiring in-game assets. Cores staking grew into an economy of its own, with sizable burns recorded during Burn to Earn events.
Future asset dynamics
Islands NFTs are untouched by the changes and still confer ownership and governance rights across the Archipelagos. Pendants and Charm Cards also stay as they are, the latter continuing to pay out weekly rewards.
Exact allocation details are due alongside the tokenomics, ahead of the RSGP token generation event scheduled for September 2026. That same month brings Gold Rush Season 4, billed as the studio’s biggest season yet.
