Gamers who grew up gaming know the frustration of spending money on a game only to abandon it later. The characters, special power-ups, or skins (like those in Fortnite) remain unused as the game gathers dust on your shelf or occupies space on your phone or computer.

However, Web3 gaming changed this paradigm. Those special power-ups became portable, meaning they could be sold in a marketplace. Your favorite player could be sold to someone else and become instant liquidity.

It’s not surprising that Web3 gaming is one of the fastest-growing blockchain technology sectors. In Q1 alone, Web3 gaming captured 30% of the industry's market share, with over 2.1 million unique active wallets (dAppRadar).

Wizards Arena stands at the forefront of the growing popularity of Web3 gaming on Kadena. The game uses NFTs to let players own items and encourages community input for new features.

What is Wizards Arena?

Wizards Arena is a digital collectible Play-to-Earn (P2E) game where players build, manage, and battle collections of unique characters and equipment. Each player steps into the shoes of a powerful wizard, strategically assembling their team and enhancing their arsenal to face off against opponents worldwide. The turn-based combat game allows players to unleash various spells and abilities, testing their strategic abilities and combat skills.

A Magical Journey: The Gameplay Experience in Wizards Arena

On Wizards Arena, players participate in 3 weekly tournaments, climbing the leaderboards across the nine distinct regions of Wizards World. These competitions offer prestige and valuable rewards, fostering a vibrant and competitive community. On top of Tournaments, players can battle in multiple other game modes, including a free-to-play game mode “Arena”. Beyond battling, players can connect with fellow wizards, share strategies, and participate in exciting events, creating a dynamic and engaging environment in and out of combat.

What is $WIZA?

$WIZA is the native token of Wizards Arena, designed to facilitate various in-game activities and transactions. It's more than just a currency; it's a key component of the game’s ecosystem, offering players numerous ways to engage, compete, and earn rewards.

The Role of $WIZA in Wizards Arena

  1. In-Game Transactions: Players can use $WIZA to purchase items, spells, and other enhancements in the Magic Shop to give them an edge in battles. This creates a vibrant marketplace where players can trade and acquire the necessary resources to succeed.
  2. Tournament Prizes: $WIZA is also used as a prize for various tournaments and competitions within Wizards Arena. These events attract top players and foster a competitive spirit, driving engagement and excitement in the community.
  3. Rewards: Wizards Arena offers their active players multiple ways to earn. For almost two years, holders earned $WIZA by staking their Wizard NFTs. Now, they’ve transitioned to rewarding their active players via Weekly Airdrops, free-to-play game modes, and even social media engagement.
