Battlefrens

Battlefrens sets out to redefine the standard for Web3 gaming by avoiding the pitfalls of unsustainable token models. Unlike many blockchain games that rely on inflationary native tokens, Battlefrens offers real rewards in $SOL, giving players a tangible reason to compete and engage long-term.

Inspired by the mascots of popular memecoins, the game’s characters—known as Frens—inhabit a world where medieval fantasy meets futuristic tech. Players awaken and upgrade their Frens through minting, enhance them with crafted gear, and battle for supremacy in both ranked and free matches. Each win provides resources used to strengthen builds or create new Frens, fueling a cycle of progression and value creation.

The game’s dual play styles—Duelist and Farmer—let players choose their path. Duelists engage in combat, staking skill for $SOL rewards. Farmers collect resources and materials that are critical to progression, trading them in the Materialia marketplace or using them to craft Jewelcrafting NFTs that can be sold in MarketFray.

All inventory items, Frens, and crafting materials are fully on-chain NFTs, enabling true digital ownership and a player-run economy. With no need for KYC, emails, or traditional accounts, your wallet is your login—providing instant, permissionless access to the full game. Battlefrens is optimized for both desktop and mobile, especially through the Phantom Wallet’s in-app browser, allowing for seamless, Web3-native gameplay experiences.

Competing projects include turn-based blockchain games like Brave Frontier Heroes, Illuvium, and Empyreal. However, Battlefrens’ direct use of $SOL and its frictionless entry via Telegram Mini App give it a unique edge in the space.

Battlefrens delivers fast-paced, turn-based gameplay that combines strategy, prediction, and personalization. The core mechanic draws from a Rock, Paper, Scissors system, where players select actions each turn and aim to outwit their opponent. Correct predictions increase damage output, while consecutive correct reads unlock Ultimate Abilities—devastating moves that can turn the tide of any battle.

Each Fren has unique skills and can be equipped with Rings, Trinkets, and other items that modify combat stats and offer passive boosts. These items are forged and upgraded using on-chain materials gathered from matches or purchased in Materialia, the game’s resource marketplace.

There are multiple game modes to suit different playstyles:

• Free Match: Casual, unranked matches ideal for practice and farming resources.
• Ranked: Competitive mode with seasonal leaderboards and greater $SOL stakes.

Strategic deck-building is key: players must manage inventory, upgrade gear, and assemble a balanced team of Frens. Item rarity tiers, from C to S, determine the power ceiling and progression pathway. As your collection and skill improve, so does your ability to win and earn.

The market-driven economy ensures all NFTs—Frens, gear, and materials—can be bought, sold, or traded directly. With no centralized control over assets, players shape the economy by supply and demand. All battles, rewards, and upgrades are recorded on-chain, making Battlefrens a fully transparent and decentralized gaming experience.
