Funding
Artifacts is free to use, but it’s not free to run. Every contribution will directly support server maintenance, which is essential for our operations. If you’d like to help support the project, you can donate to the developers using the link below.

End of the Founder Program
Section titled “End of the Founder Program”At launch, we introduced the Founders program a bit hastily, mainly to cover high server costs. Since then, we’ve taken a step back and put a lot more thought into the business model so it’s simpler, fairer, and more sustainable.
What’s changing in June 2026?
Section titled “What’s changing in June 2026?”With the arrival of the release, the Founder program will end and be replaced by a traditional subscription. The subscription is optional to support the game; the game is completely free to play and will remain so.
- $6/ month, or
- $60/ year (equivalent to $5/ month)
Founders will receive subscription tokens that can be used to continue enjoying their benefits.
| Tier | Gems | Subscription Time |
|---|---|---|
| Founder | 750 | 5 months |
| Gold Founder | 1,800 | 12 months |
| VIP Founder | 3,600 | 24 months |
Founders will receive 50 bonus gems for each month of their subscription. A standard subscription provides 100 gems per month, while founders will receive 150 gems for each month of their subscription.
If you made multiple purchases, they will be combined.
Founder Titles & Skins
Section titled “Founder Titles & Skins”Your Founder title (regardless of tier) will be kept forever in-game and on Discord and will no longer be obtainable.
A unique character skin will also be granted for each tier by the end of the Founders program.
How do I use gems?
