DeFi Kingdoms, a popular multi-chain RPG, is launching its new Player vs Player (PvP) Colosseum exclusively on leading Ethereum Layer 2 Metis to offer its users a cheaper and more immersive way to enjoy competitive gaming.
Metis is the first L2 solution one to implement a decentralized Sequencer and offer shared network ownership.
By allowing anyone to join in and operate network nodes, Metis became the first L2 to share ownership and control of a critical part of its infrastructure with an independent, distributed pool of nodes. These node operators share governance rights and revenue, as such, working together to contribute to the network’s growth and security.
Recently, Metis announced a multi-million dollar campaign to fund developers and community members in order to attract top talent, facilitate the rapid growth of promising projects, and expand its ecosystem.
Now, Metis has onboarded a popular GameFi project that at its peak had a billion-dollar economy. With the help of this low-cost, scalable platform, DeFi Kingdoms aims to enhance the gameplay experience and take its player-owned, open economy to the masses.
“Our network provides the scalability, low transaction costs, and decentralized architecture necessary for a seamless gaming experience,” said Elena Sinelnikova, Co-founder of Metis while noting that, at the same time, DeFi Kingdoms will elevate its ecosystem “with increased transaction volume, user engagement, and showcasing Metis’ capability to support high-performance dApps.”
The game is already live on Metis with a new competitive PvP feature, which Sinelnikova believes will bring a fun, engaging, player-driven economy to the Ethereum L2’s thriving ecosystem.
This will allow Metis to gain traction and attract new users, which will help drive transaction volume and gas usage. Supporting a thriving community of gamers and creators will further lead to increased network revenue, decentralized sequencer rewards, and ecosystem incentives for Metis.
This way, together Metis and DeFi Kingdoms are “creating new possibilities and experiences in Web3 gaming,” stated Sinelnikova.
Unveiling “The Colosseum”
DeFi Kingdoms is a play-to-earn (P2E) game that blends the nostalgia of pixelated art with the appeal of DeFi. The platform allows players to trade crypto, stake JEWEL tokens, and acquire rare NFTs.
The game is launched on Metis after six months of intense work which paved the way for an epic game called “The Colosseum.”
“Get ready to push the boundaries of gaming and blockchain technology with DFK’s latest creation!” said Dreamer, President of DeFi Kingdoms. “This isn’t just another game; it’s a revolution in gaming,” he added.
This new game is equipped with several exciting and lucrative attributes including strategic 1-on-1 battles against both friends and enemies, personalized match requirements to explore new battle styles, and the ability to trade Heroes, equipment, and items via NFT marketplaces.
Not only will there be tournaments to compete for exclusive prizes, but even users will also be able to host tournaments and invite other users to take part in them.
But this isn’t all. The fun and excitement with “The Colosseum” go far beyond. Besides leveraging distinctive skills of the initial six unique classes of Heroes; Archer, Knight, Warrior, Priest, Berserker, and Seer, the Colosseum will have a ‘combat’ spectating system where users will be able to watch, participate, and earn rewards by predicting outcomes of matches.
“We’re crafting a one-of-a-kind experience designed for hardcore competitors, casual spectators, and those bold enough to (up-only) wager on the outcomes and claim glorious rewards!” said Dreamer.
This is still just the beginning, with the PvP Colosseum laying the groundwork for further expansions planned in 2025, including full-scale tournament play, multiple rewards systems for competitors and non-competitors, and much more.
Overall, this Metis and DeFi Kingdoms partnership is all set to ablaze the crypto’s GameFi sector and bring a new era of innovation, competition, and economic opportunity to the blockchain gaming world.
