Blocklords Dynasty brings 1M+ users onchain using CDP’s Paymaster
September 24, 2024
BLOCKLORDS Dynasty is a player-driven medieval grand strategy game with innovative gameplay mechanics and a player-powered economy. It is one of the best examples of an onchain game that has reached mass adoption and is helping broaden the audience of people transacting onchain and using crypto overall.
The Challenge
According to David Johansson, the CEO of MetaKing Studios (creators of Blocklords Dynasty), “We wanted the Blocklords Dynasty’s economy to function autonomously, so putting it onchain was the obvious choice. Many players have never interacted onchain before, so it was really important to us that we make their first experiences as easy and frictionless as possible.”
Naturally, they began to ask themselves, how could they get users comfortable transacting onchain for the first time?
The Solution
The team experimented with ways to streamline arriving at the magic moment, deciding to make users' initial mints free and first transactions gasless.
Enter CDP’s Paymaster: an easy-to-use solution for bundling and sponsoring transactions to create magical gasless experiences for users onchain.
“When we discovered Paymaster, it gave us exactly what we needed: a way to create simple, smooth, and delightful gasless transactions for users onchain.” - David Johansson.
The Results
BLOCKLORDS Dynasty has quickly become one of the most popular onchain games, and brought a whole new group of users onchain for the first time. Here are a few of the key stats:
250k+ daily active players
1.2M+ unique active players/wallets
50M+ in-game transactions
