Skycastle Network is pleased to announce its partnership with **Creative Layer**, the company behind [**rips.app**](https://rips.app/), marking the fourth project to enter the Skycastle incubation pipeline.

RIPS is a gamified crypto discovery app where users _rip open_ digital packs to reveal cards tied to real ERC-20 tokens. Every day, players receive one free rip, with the option to purchase additional packs using USDC. Through collaborations with top crypto communities and projects, RIPS turns token discovery into a collectible, social, and rewarding experience.

Under the agreement, Skycastle will provide end-to-end advisory and ecosystem support across **token design, incentive modeling, and growth strategy**, helping establish RIPS as the onchain standard for **gamified discovery**.

As part of the partnership:

*   Skycastle will receive **5% of total $RIPS supply** at TGE.
    
*   The allocation will be **locked for six (6) months** following receipt.
    
*   The partnership is **permanent, onchain, and begins immediately.**
    

Through this collaboration, Skycastle and the RIPS team will formalize the **$RIPS** token architecture, build network-aligned distribution loops, and design the long-term framework for ecosystem growth and sustainability. The partnership reflects Skycastle’s mission to help founders design, launch, and scale tokenized ecosystems that compound value over time — beginning with the next generation of onchain consumer apps.
