Treasure and MAGIC were built on [Arbitrum](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/what-is-arbitrum-the-ultimate-guide-to-the-arbitrum-ecosystem), a layer-2 scaling solution which sits on Ethereum. MAGIC is therefore secured by Ethereum’s [Layer-1](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/layer-1-blockchain) [proof-of-stake](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/proof-of-stake-pos) (PoS) [consensus mechanism](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/consensus-mechanism).

$MAGIC is an [ERC-20](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/erc-20) token with a maximum supply of 347,714,007 coins. It’s a deflationary token whose holders can vote on governance matters in the Treasure ecosystem. MAGIC was distributed at the following ratios: Treasure Farm: 33% Extraction (Mining): 25% Staking / Liquidity: 17% Ecosystem Development Fund: 15% Team / Contributors: 10% As of January 2023, MAGIC’s circulating supply is  211,674,541 / 347,714,007 (61%).

MAGIC is the official currency of the Treasure ecosystem. It acts as a cross-metaverse currency that links together separate gaming communities. It was designed to become increasingly scarce over time as more players join the ecosystem. You can earn and use MAGIC tokens in Bridgeworld, Treasure’s flagship game, and in Treasure’s twelve other games. You can also stake MAGIC tokens in the Atlas Mine in order to help govern the Treasure platform. Treasure is a community-driven gaming project: small gaming communities are at the center of its ecosystem. Each smaller gaming community is “connected through lore, guilds, resources, and MAGIC.” These separate communities can trade NFTs and collaborate using MAGIC tokens. More established communities can, for instance, use MAGIC to help develop new or emerging projects. Treasure integrates DeFi, NFTs and gaming into its ecosystem as three separate elements: there’s MAGIC, the cross-game digital currency; Treasures, which are in-game NFT items; and Legions, the platform’s in-game NFT characters. MAGIC tokens let you transform Treasure NFTs into productive assets, and Legions help you earn Treasure NFTS and mine MAGIC tokens.

Treasure, the platform served by MAGIC, was established by three co-founders: John Patten (Strategy), Gaarp (Growth), and Karel Vuong (Operations). Not much is known about the team’s experience prior to launching Treasure. Treasure and $MAGIC are operated by a [decentralized autonomous organization](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/decentralized-autonomous-organizations-dao) (DAO), which consists of 36 community contributors. The DAO’s team members include experienced developers, product managers, economists, creative marketers, artists, and many enthusiastic gamers.

MAGIC is the utility token that connects gaming communities in the Treasure Metaverse: a decentralized [NFT](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/non-fungible-token) ecosystem which sits on [Arbitrum](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/what-is-arbitrum), one of [Ethereum’s](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ethereum/) [Layer 2](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/layer-2) scaling solutions. MAGIC is a cross-game currency that connects games, players, metaverses, and communities, all within [Web 3.0](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/web-3-0). The token was launched in September 2021 so its community could buy and sell in-game NFTs on Treasure. It also acts as a reserve currency for Treasure’s metaverse. Players can earn MAGIC tokens by gaming, mining, and participating in [Bridgeworld](https://trove.treasure.lol/games/bridgeworld), Treasure’s flagship game. Treasure now hosts twelve other games on its platform, some of which allow you to use and generate MAGIC tokens like in Bridgeworld. These include [Beacon](https://trove.treasure.lol/games/the-beacon), a free-to-play fantasy action rogue-lite RPG; and [Realm](https://trove.treasure.lol/games/realm), a world-building and exploration game.
