Gods Unchained

Gods Unchained is a free-to-play trading card game where players compete in epic duels using fantasy cards. The game is built to fundamentally change how games work; using Ethereum technology to bring true digital ownership to players, as well as provide the means to earn items that actually matter.

The $GODS token is designed to be the core currency of Gods Unchained, fuelling the ecosystem that empowers players to earn and sell Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs).

What makes us different?

Exciting gameplay, a world-class team
Helmed by Chris Clay, former game director of Magic: The Gathering Arena, Gods Unchained provides a dynamic and competitive experience with a strong focus on strategy. Over 3 years of engineering and development has been put into Gods Unchained by a talented team with career experience from gaming giants such as EA Games, Riot Games, Wizards of the Coast, and more.

True digital ownership
Gods Unchained provides real ownership over in-game items by turning them into ERC-721 tokens/NFTs. Players gain the right to sell their items for real money, use them in Gods Unchained, and even embed them in third-party games and tools. This separates Gods Unchained from what’s offered in mainstream games.

Play to Earn
To catalyze competitive play and stimulate engagement, players can earn meaningful currencies and items, including the ERC-20 $GODS token, by simply playing the game. The ability to earn tangible rewards serves as the key ingredient to supercharge our future growth.

An epic game economy
$GODS tokens are designed to exist at the heart of the economy, being used by players to purchase new card packs and chests, craft their own NFT cards, and earn staking rewards. By including $GODS in the key facets of the Gods Unchained experience, it creates a sustainable ecosystem where players have the economic freedom to earn from, and contribute to the economy.

A titanic community
With over $34M worth of NFTs sold and traded so far, Gods Unchained has established a passionate community of evangelists. The game has over 450,000 registered players despite only being in beta.

Built to scale on Ethereum
Gods Unchained digital assets live on Immutable X, Ethereum’s first zero-knowledge rollup (zk-rollup) for NFTs. Immutable X allows for gas-free NFT minting and trading at scale with instant trade confirmation. This creates a massively improved user experience and enables the high volume trading of low cost assets, a key feature of Gods Unchained. Over 650,000 Gods Unchained NFT secondary trades have been made since migrating to Immutable X in late June 2021. In contrast, the entire Ethereum mainnet NFT trading volume amounted to 420,577 trades (source: nonfungible.com). Importantly, Immutable X does not compromise the security of users' assets, ensuring that players truly own their assets on Immutable X.

The gaming industry is immense but flawed, being built on one-sided models that limit user ownership and stifle player-driven economies . We believe players should truly own their items in any game; more than that, we believe players should be rewarded for the time and effort they invest in playing a game and contributing to that game’s community.

This is why we are building Gods Unchained. We know games can be more, so we’ve been busy building a game where every card pack you open, every battle you fight, and every item you craft is built to be part of a sustainable, real-value economy. The items you own are set up to have greater utility beyond just playing the game as you can trade them with anyone, even outside the game. No one – including us – should be able to take away what belongs to you, a concept made possible thanks to Ethereum’s technology.

Non-fungible tokens (NFTs or ERC-721 tokens) are unique digital assets that can be owned, sold, or traded. Ownership is tracked via the Ethereum blockchain, ensuring trustless asset security.

In Gods Unchained, this technology is applied to select in-game cards and items. Like a bridge between the virtual and physical world, NFTs provide us and our users with a transparent and immutable way to assign, verify, and maintain ownership. The result? The ability to create a vibrant game that rewards both the developer and the player, building functional relationships between game and player that were not previously possible.
