Web3 grand strategy MMO BLOCKLORDS has debuted its Dynasty Orb Lock event, running from August 21 to October 23.
Accessed via companion game BLOCKLORDS: Dynasty, the event gives holders of Epic, Legendary and Mythic Orbs the opportunity to stake their assets to earn Node Power, a resource that will allow players to earn a variety of rewards on the soon-to-launch LORDCHAIN.
LORDCHAIN is set to power the wider BLOCKLORDS ecosystem, which will be bolstered by the $LRDS token.
What is BLOCKLORDS?
Developed by MetaKing Studios, BLOCKLORDS is a medieval-themed web3 grand strategy MMO. Compatible with both Immutable and Polygon, players select a Hero and build their kingdom, with both strategic management and tactical battle skill being key to victory.
Heroes specialise in a variety of gameplay styles, from being battle-hardened warriors to experts at ruling the land, allowing players to choose a style which suits them. BLOCKLORDS is currently in open beta, and is free-to-play via the Epic Games Store.
BLOCKORDS: Dynasty is a web-based companion title with blockchain-powered play-t0-earn mechanics, which allows players to progress their House Levels, engage in Marriages and impart Traditions that impact the main BLOCKLORDS gameplay.
What is the Dynasty Orb Lock Event?
This event gives Epic, Legendary and Mythic Orb holders the ability to earn Node Power. By asset-locking their Orbs, players can generate the follow Node Power:
- Mythic Orb: 15 Node Power
- Legendary Orb: 2 Node Power
- Epic Orb: 1 Node Power
Node Power can be used to purchase Node Tiers. Each Node Tier provides players unique rewards and benefits on the LORDCHAIN, the blockchain of the BLOCKLORDS ecosystem, which is set to debut in Q1 2025.
Built on Base, LORDCHAIN is a Layer-3 network that will be powered by the $LRDS token. By running BLOCKLORDS on its own specialised LORDCHAIN, players will experience simple onboarding, low transaction fees, and seamless gameplay.
Orbs can now only be purchased on secondary markets – though listings are scarce, with only 500 Epic, 200 Legendary and 100 Mythic Orbs available.
