Web3 gaming platform Artyfact has opened registration for its first competitive tournament, offering a total prize pool of $30,000. The event is free to enter and is accessible through the Epic Games Store, marking the first formal test of Artyfact’s seasonal leaderboard system, where players compete for ranking through standard gameplay.
Participants accumulate points—called ArtyPoints—by completing in-game actions such as eliminations and match wins. These points determine each player’s standing on the leaderboard. Higher ranks receive larger portions of the prize pool, with additional random rewards distributed among participants.
The tournament is open until September 28 and is part of a broader effort by Artyfact to test its competitive structure, integrate NFT-based scoring bonuses, and attract wider player participation.

What is Artyfact?
Artyfact is an online multiplayer shooter developed with Unreal Engine 5 and integrated with blockchain features. The game includes several modes—such as Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Battle Royale, and Control—and is designed for both solo and team-based combat.
It runs on the Binance Smart Chain and incorporates NFTs and a native cryptocurrency called $ARTY. Whilst blockchain features are integrated, new players can participate without prior crypto experience. Each user is issued an in-game wallet upon joining, allowing access to features such as staking, NFT ownership, and token rewards.
The platform also includes a system known as Player-Experience Modelling (PEM), which automatically adjusts gameplay difficulty based on player skill and behaviour patterns.
How to participate in the tournament?
To join the tournament, players must download Artyfact from the Epic Games Store. Once inside the game, they begin earning ArtyPoints by taking part in standard multiplayer matches.
- 1 ArtyPoint is awarded for each kill
- 25 ArtyPoints are granted for winning a match
Additional points can be earned through specific in-game activities such as capturing and holding key areas.
Final leaderboard positions determine how much each participant receives from the prize pool. For example:
- 1st place: $1,500
- 2nd place: $700
- 3rd place: $550
- 4th–50th: $100 each
- 51st–100th: $55 each
- 900 random participants: $22 each
Players can increase their ArtyPoint totals by owning certain NFTs issued by the game, such as jetpacks, characters, and weapons. Bonus points vary by item type and rarity, with higher-tier items contributing more.
What’s next for Artyfact?
In parallel with the tournament, Artyfact is also running a separate airdrop campaign offering 35,000 USDT in prizes.
The campaign rewards users who complete community tasks, such as social media engagement and referrals until August 11, with rewards scheduled for distribution starting August 15.
$ARTY is currently listed on several cryptocurrency exchanges including KuCoin, OKX, Bybit, and PancakeSwap.
