Warena is a strategy game on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC), which has a combination of play-to-earn and metaverse elements. On top of that, Warena also provides a unique level of personalization and the possibility to carry over NFTs from other metaverses.
Warena features a fantastical action-survival gameplay, released in two phases. Its first phase is a 2D tower defense game set in the year 2129, in the so-called Survival Phase. After the Earth has descended into World War 3 and witnessed the widespread use of biological and nuclear weapons, it has turned into a post-apocalyptic scenery, with the remaining humans fighting zombies for survival. Players have to cooperate with robots to collect glass spheres, the in-game currency, to level up the robots’ engines, and optimize machine parts. The second phase will take place after a Big Bang that fragments the universe into different dimensions and creates the game’s metaverse, where different tribes like fairies, demons, and humans are present.
Warena presents a very detailed roadmap that would see several phases in the game’s development. Here is an excerpt of the most important ones:
* Launching the V1 of the game in Q4 2021
* Launching the V1 of the metaverse in Q2 2022
* Launching V2 in Q3 2022, accompanied by the release of new roles and elements
* Launching new gameplay modes and AR elements after Q4 2022
## Who Are the Founders of Warena?
Warena is a Vietnamese project that is a collaboration of an experienced game studio (d2mstudio), a software development agency (ncc.asia), and experienced blockchain advisors. Among Warena’s advisors are Minh Doan, former co-founder of Harmony (ONE), Chao Ma, ex-CTO of Deeper Network (DPR), and Rong Jian Lan, the current CTO of Harmony.
Moreover, Warena boasts an impressive array of backers and partners: DAO Maker, Infinity Capital, RedKite, Binance, Clovers Ventures, and several others. The project also hired two dedicated tokenomics advisors with several years of experience in the finance industry with a combined $15 million in raised capital in IDOs between them.
## What Makes Warena Unique?
Warena offers an interesting combination of several major trends in the blockchain sector. On the one hand, players can earn a digital income from the game’s vast metaverse and strategic gameplay modes. There are several modes available, such as PvE, PvP, and Arena Tournaments. Tokens collected can also later be converted to NFTs and traded on Warena’s marketplace.
On the other hand, Warena enables players to create their own characters, but also meet, interact with, and battle characters from other games like Axie Infinity, My Defi Pet, or Cat Gunner. Unique characters are highly customizable down to their avatar, warrior attributes, gear, and skilly. Warena strives to set itself apart from the growing influx of play-to-earn games by launching two-phased gameplay consisting of a tower defense game and a metaverse. Players will be able to purchase and trade virtual land in the metaverse, while the survival game mode focuses more on improving their unique NFT characters in battles.
Moreover, Warena aspires to be a community-governed game, where the community manages the so-called WR Community Council in a DAO model. In doing so, players will directly influence the game’s comprehensive roadmap, which targets several new gameplay modes and playable races in the future.

## How Many Warena (RENA) Coins Are There in Circulation?
Warena features two distinct tokens in its ecosystem: RENA and WARE. RENA is the game’s governance token that can also be staked. RENA holders also accrue 5% of the revenue Warena incurs. The only way to access rewards in RENA in-game is to stake NFT characters that are rated legendary.
The WARE token is the game’s utility token and is used as an off-ramp for players that want to cash out their accumulated in-game rewards. Players will also use WARE on the internal marketplace when trading NFTs. There are several mechanisms to reduce its circulating supply and retain the financial value and element of scarcity of WARE. Battle actions must be paid for in WARE, as do temporary multipliers to stats enhancers and access to different gameplay areas or contests. Each time this happens, 20% of WARE goes to the treasury, and the rest is burned.
## How Is the Warena Network Secured?
RENA is a BEP-20 token on the Binance Smart Chain. BSC is secured through the proof-of-stake consensus mechanism. 21 validators are elected every 24 hours to validate transactions and maintain blockchain security. These validators have to stake a certain amount of BNB coins with Binance to be eligible.
The game itself runs on the Chromia blockchain, which is a standalone blockchain acting as a layer-two enhancement for BSC. It is a particularly popular choice among blockchain games for its efficient scaling mechanism and the option to set fee structures variably.
## Where Can You Buy Warena (RENA)?
Warena is available on DODO BSC, PancakeSwap (V2), MEXC, Hoo and Hotbit.
