$CULT is the native asset of The Ritual, minted exclusively through play, earned by those who participate in the ecosystem, and distributed to stakers who support its long-term growth. Beyond its role as a reward, $CULT functions as the core governance token of The Cult, granting holders influence over game parameters, treasury decisions and the evolution of the Ritual itself. Designed with utility and purpose, $CULT aligns the incentives of players, creators and the community, turning every action inside the ecosystem into both value and voice.
