Dragobits

Dragobits is a strategic, fully on-chain battle game that runs on EVM chains. The game emphasizes economic aspects over elaborate UI elements. Its unique concept allows it to operate on high-TVL chains like Ethereum L2s, unlike other games that rely on high-throughput, low-TVL chains.

Disclaimer: Collecting NFTs involves financial risks. Please be aware that all NFTs minted may potentially become worthless. Furthermore, there are no guaranteed rewards from collecting. Participate with caution and consider your financial situation carefully. Read the extended disclaimer here.

Concept Overview

Dragobits are ERC-721 compatible NFTs, with both their traits and artwork stored 100% on-chain. By default, each Dragobit has three visual traits: Atmosphere, Platform, and Species. For example, the image below (middle) shows a Dragobit with Atmosphere: Devil; Platform: Alien; and Species: Bitcoin.

To mint a Dragobit, you must spend some ETH or the respective native gas token of the chain you’re playing on. The exact fees are documented in the docs, where you can find the specific fee for each deployed instance of the game.

100% of the mint fee (after optional art upgrade & referral deductions) is swapped on-chain for an ERC-20 token through a third-party DEX like Uniswap. The ERC-20 token (depending on the current price) is then attached to the minted Dragobit. This process is fully decentralized. By choosing to mint, you are interacting with a protocol, not a centralized game. The game does not require a custom backend and can instead operate with an open-source graph instance that reads public on-chain events. All contracts, the needed subgraph and the initial frontend are open source.

The Dragobits game can be deployed by anyone without permission and can use any ERC-20 token. Check the deployment chapter to see which token each deployment is based on.

Wen launch?

Dragobits will launch as a pre-alpha on the PMON chain on December 23, 2024, followed by an alpha launch on Base on December 28, 2024. From there, Dragobits will be fine-tuned and expanded to other chains.
