Ethereum News Update: Emperor Builds Web3 Dynasty with $EMPI, Merging Gaming and DeFi

The Emperor ecosystem introduced its own token, $EMPI, on October 28, 2025, signifying a major milestone as it transitions from a decentralized exchange into a comprehensive Web3 gaming and DeFi hub, as reported by

. Developed on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC), $EMPI brings together several offerings, such as the Emperor Games Platform, The Last Emperor (a skill-based shooter currently in beta), and the Emperor X Launchpad, which will support gamified token launches. The debut of the token comes amid a broader upswing in the crypto market, with (BTC) and (ETH) both experiencing renewed upward momentum thanks to ETF inflows, according to .

The tokenomics of $EMPI are designed to prioritize the community, allocating 30% of the total 100 million supply for ecosystem incentives and rewards. Allocations for the team and advisors are locked with vesting schedules, and 10% of the supply is reserved for liquidity to help maintain long-term stability, as highlighted by TradingView. The project has stressed its commitment to a "fair launch," with no presale events or pre-filled wallets, aiming to make participation accessible to all. Early trading will be available on

as well as platforms like DEXTools, CoinMarketCap, and CoinGecko, which are expected to support initial user growth.

The Emperor roadmap details a staged rollout, starting with community engagement campaigns and AMAs, then moving to CEX listings and collaborations with Web3 gaming developers. In its third phase, $EMPI holders will gain governance capabilities, while the fourth phase aims to introduce cross-chain gaming and licensing of real-world IP, according to TradingView. The ecosystem also intends to incentivize holders through tournaments, prize draws, and special beta access to games.

The token launch comes at a time of growing DeFi interest, as demonstrated by SharpLink Gaming’s $200 million

deployment on to generate onchain returns. At the same time, the overall market’s positive sentiment—fueled by Bitcoin surpassing $114,000 and Ethereum’s consistent performance—provides a supportive environment for projects like Emperor, as noted by FXStreet.
