Block Stranding, an on-chain multiplayer RPG powered by Solana, will officially launch its $STRAND token pre-sale on October 22. The pre-sale marks a major milestone in the project’s roadmap. It expands the on-chain ecosystem and prepares for more player participation.
What Is Block Stranding?
Block Stranding is a fully on-chain multiplayer RPG. Every player action, including crafting or combat, is directly recorded on the blockchain. The game uses Solana’s technology to enable real-time gameplay. Players can interact, trade, and battle without the usual server delays.
Block Stranding recently held a large-scale stress test. It simulated hundreds of AI players and processed over 200,000 blockchain transactions in a single session. This test demonstrated how on-chain games could run efficiently with Solana’s scalability and low fees.
The game features a 2D isometric sci-fi world. Players can unlock new areas, gather materials, build bases, and attack other players. All player assets, including weapons, armor, and land, exist entirely on-chain. This makes players the true owners, free to sell their items anytime.
What Is $STRAND?
$STRAND is the native token of Block Stranding, which powers the in-game economy of the project. Using $STRAND, people can create new items, trade goods and services, and take part in local events run by the community. To name a few, quest completion, PvP victory, and contribution to the ecosystem are players’ paths to earning $STRAND.
Without waiting for the official pre-sale, the Block Stranding team treated the community with a Season 1 airdrop. The early recipients were those who performed social challenges, connected their Solana wallets, and engaged with the community. The early missions served two purposes: to onboard users into the ecosystem and to raise awareness of the token launch publicly.
On October 22, the $STRAND pre-sale is planned to be officially opened, and the project team will share more information regarding allocation and the procedure of participation. The token will be the vehicle for the next stage of Block Stranding, which will be the social reward system’s transition to a full-fledged in-game reward system.
Final Thoughts
Without a doubt, the $STRAND token pre-sale is the stepping stone for Block Stranding on its way to the full on-chain game launch. Moreover, the project acts as a showcase for Solana’s real-time decentralized gaming capabilities and the potential of player economies that are 100% verifiable.
Though the idea is only in its infancy, the unveiling of the token pre-sale will be the test for how much community engagement and market impact Block Stranding can muster while working on one of Solana’s gaming ecosystems.
