View ChartBalance (EPT) is a next-generation AI plus Web3 protocol and framework built for social and gaming applications. It combines artificial intelligence, blockchain technology, and decentralized applications into a single ecosystem. Balance evolved from E-Pal, a social gaming companion platform launched in 2020 by Brian Xiong, Tung Pham, Yuzhe Norris Wang and Yuanzhe Li. The project positions itself as an AI-powered Web3 experience that goes beyond a gaming and social companion platform. At the core of its architecture are AI Agents, which act as intelligent and adaptive digital companions, alongside Key Nodes that handle data processing, storage and distribution for the platform. EPT is an ERC-20 token on Ethereum, while the Balance platform runs on its own Balance Chain and uses account abstraction for cross-chain communication; user-held fungible and NFT assets are based on Aptos (APT) and BNB Chain. The maximum supply is capped at 10,000,000,000 EPT. The EPT token launched on April 21, 2025, while the Balance platform mainnet launched in September 2024. As of the latest available data, EPT is listed on more than 120 trading markets.
Balance was created by the team behind E-Pal, which was founded in 2020 by Brian Xiong, Tung Pham, Yuzhe Norris Wang and Yuanzhe Li. Brian Xiong serves as CEO. The identified core team members include Yuzhe Norris Wang as COO and Co-Founder, Lucas Lee as Co-Founder and Web3 E-pal CEO, and Adam as Co-Founder. Trihoshi serves as Ambassador of the Americas. Rizwan Ansari has also been listed as CEO in market data. The project has raised a total of $40 million across five completed funding rounds, including a Token Launch round and a Private round.
Balance operates by integrating AI technology, blockchain technology, and decentralized applications into a unified framework for social and gaming experiences. The system is built around two core components. AI Agents function as intelligent, adaptive digital companions that interact with users and enhance engagement within the ecosystem. Key Nodes are purchasable nodes that handle data processing, storage and distribution for web3 gaming. For example, they manage real-time leaderboards and automatically distribute loot and in-game currency, and they can also support the compute needs of AI model training. In return they receive rewards including EPT distributions. EPT is an ERC-20 token on Ethereum, while the Balance platform runs on its own Balance Chain and uses account abstraction for cross-chain communication; user-held fungible and NFT assets are based on Aptos (APT) and BNB Chain. Smart contracts carry associated risks that are common to smart contract based systems.
Balance distinguishes itself through the combination of AI Agents and Key Nodes within a single Web3 framework aimed at social and gaming use cases. This dual structure allows for interactive, decentralized experiences that go beyond simple transactions, supporting entertainment and productivity applications. The project evolved from E-Pal, giving it an existing foundation in the gaming and social companion space. Its positioning as an AI-powered blockchain platform places it within the growing intersection of artificial intelligence and decentralized technology. The capped supply of 10 billion tokens and its deflationary characterization may appeal to investors seeking scarcity-oriented token models. The token is also listed across numerous trading markets, which provides a degree of visibility and accessibility for market participants.
EPT serves as the native token of the Balance ecosystem. EPT is used for access to products and services, Fan Token minting, rewards to Key Nodes, governance, staking and gas fee payments. Within the platform, the token supports the interaction between users, AI Agents, and Key Nodes that handle data processing, storage and distribution. Balance is designed for social and gaming applications, meaning EPT can be utilized in entertainment and productivity scenarios across the ecosystem. During the September 2024 Points System campaign, users earned points by completing tasks such as joining social channels or commenting and reposting; the top 400 participants earned a whitelist spot for Pioneer Badge NFTs, which grant early access to games, campaigns, airdrops and beta testing. The token is also traded on various markets and supports conversion pairs with multiple fiat currencies including AUD, BRL, CAD, EUR, GBP, HKD, RUB, SGD, TWD, and KRW.
The Balance ecosystem is developing as a Web3 platform that integrates gaming, blockchain, and AI technologies. E-Pal was launched in 2020, and the team began developing the Balance platform in February 2024. The Balance platform mainnet launched in September 2024, and the EPT token launched on April 21, 2025. The project has since secured $40 million in funding across five rounds. The whitepaper's latest version is dated July 14, 2025. The ecosystem includes AI Agents and Key Nodes designed for entertainment, productivity, and beyond. Users can engage with quests on the official website. The project is listed on major exchanges and continues to expand its trading presence with more than 120 active markets. Community channels include Discord, and social accounts are listed on CoinMarketCap. The roadmap and ongoing development suggest continued focus on AI-driven social and gaming applications.
EPT is not mined. It is an ERC-20 token on Ethereum, a proof-of-stake network, and new EPT enters circulation as rewards distributed to Key Nodes that handle data processing, storage and distribution for the platform. Users otherwise obtain EPT by trading on supported markets or through platform activities. Staking is listed among EPT's utilities; users should confirm current staking options through official project channels.
Keeping EPT safe begins with using reputable wallets that support ERC-20 tokens on the Ethereum network. Hardware wallets provide strong protection by storing private keys offline. Software wallets and browser-based wallets are convenient but should be used with caution and kept updated. Never share private keys or seed phrases with anyone. Be aware that EPT uses smart contracts, which enhance efficiency and decentralization but also carry associated risks. Verify contract addresses before interacting with any token or platform. Security information: the project's token contract is publicly viewable on Etherscan; readers should review the audit reports and bug-bounty status published on the project's official channels before interacting. Since crypto assets are highly volatile and carry significant market risk, including the potential loss of entire capital, store only what you can afford to hold in any single wallet. Enable two-factor authentication where available and remain alert to phishing attempts targeting token holders.
