The 5th Scape ICO funded a virtual-reality gaming ecosystem spanning VR software, planned proprietary hardware and a decentralized marketplace for VR content creators. Raising $6.66 million on Ethereum before listing on two centralized exchanges within days of each other, 5SCAPE represents one of the larger, more clearly executed presales in this catalogue's VR and metaverse category. This review documents the sale, the hardware ambitions and where the token trades today.
The presale ran through a single funding round, ultimately raising $6,657,700 at a final price of $0.00327 per token, implying a pre-valuation around $17.04 million. Distribution followed a 40% unlock at the Token Generation Event, an 8-week lock, and an 8-month vesting schedule thereafter. Total supply was capped at 5.21 billion 5SCAPE tokens, with 80% (4.16 billion) allocated to presale buyers, one of the highest presale-allocation percentages documented in this catalogue.
5th Scape's roadmap centred on a library of 3D VR games spanning genres including MMA, cricket, soccer and archery, alongside plans for proprietary hardware: a VR Ultra Headset and a SwiftScape VR Chair designed to enhance the immersive experience. Beyond gaming, the project outlined a "Development Center," a decentralized marketplace giving VR content creators and developers tools and resources to build and monetise their own experiences within the 5th Scape ecosystem. An early demo, "MMA Cage Conquest," reached beta availability on the Meta Quest store, giving the project a tangible pre-launch deliverable.
5SCAPE serves as the ecosystem's payment and utility token, covering transactions for games, subscriptions and in-world items, with holders receiving discounts on new releases and educational content. The presale drew endorsement from notable figures including Michael Wrubel, cited in coverage as lending credibility to the project's ambitious roadmap.
5th Scape delivered on its fundraising and listing timeline with unusual precision: official communications confirmed a listing date of 7 February 2025 on both MEXC and BitMart, with token claims opening 3 February 2025 and the presale itself closing 31 January 2025, a tightly sequenced rollout that matches the announced schedule closely. Investor response was strong throughout, reflected in the $6.66 million raised and sustained social media engagement including large community giveaways. This execution discipline places 5th Scape among the more reliably delivered VR/metaverse presales in this catalogue, even though token price performance since listing has followed the broader downward trend.
5SCAPE trades today around $0.000035 to $0.00004, according to CoinGecko, a decline exceeding 98% from its presale closing price of $0.00327. The most active pair is $5SCAPE/WBNB on PancakeSwap V3 (BSC), with the contract address 0x0688977ae5b10075f46519063fd2f03adc052c1f; note that trading has migrated to BSC despite the original Ethereum-based presale, so confirm you are using the correct current contract before transacting. The original sale terms are archived at ICO Drops.
5th Scape Game Studio continues describing itself as committed to high-fidelity gaming experiences, with esports-adjacent features like tournament calendars and player profiles referenced in current site materials. For a comparison against another VR or gaming-focused presale in this catalogue, see the Pikamoon ICO, or browse JetTon presale review.
Consider the following: the token has declined more than 98% from its presale closing price despite the project's clean fundraising and listing execution; the token's primary trading venue has shifted from its original Ethereum presale chain to BSC, so verify the current, correct contract address before any transaction; and delivery status of the proprietary VR headset and chair hardware, both capital-intensive physical products, should be independently confirmed rather than assumed from 2024 roadmap materials. Check current MEXC and BitMart listing status and trading volume directly before evaluating liquidity.
