**Soul Shards** were Soulbound NFTs that grant access to premium features in Zeeverse. Over time, their form has evolved, but their purpose has stayed the same.

* **Genesis Soul Shards (NFT)** – The original mint, distributed to early players and granting lifetime access.
* **Alpha Soul Shards (NFT)** – Paid, limited-term versions introduced after Genesis.
* **Red Soul Shards (Premium Pass)** – Launched with the Beta phase and now the active system, available in 1, 3, or 6 month durations with discounts for longer terms.

**Current benefits include:**

* Unlocking new PVP and PVE modes, such as **Heist** and **Stronghold of Umbra**
* Boosting auto-battle speed by up to **3x**
