Arena-Z (A2Z) is a decentralised Web3 gaming protocol built on Ethereum Layer 2, designed to connect multiple blockchain games through shared assets, NFTs, and interoperable economies. Developed on the Optimism Superchain, Arena-Z combines fast, low-cost transactions with Ethereum-grade security, providing a scalable foundation for a multi-game metaverse.
The ecosystem evolved from the widely known League of Kingdoms game into a broader Web3 gaming platform that allows players to carry progress, items, and NFTs across multiple titles. The A2Z token powers the Arena-Z network, serving as the primary asset for in-game rewards, staking, NFT ownership, and governance participation.
Arena-Z operates on the Arena-Z Chain, a Layer 2 blockchain built using the OP Stack — the same framework underpinning the Optimism Superchain. This structure ensures high throughput, low fees, and compatibility with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), making it easy for developers to deploy or integrate new games into the ecosystem.
The protocol’s smart contracts manage all aspects of gameplay and economy, including token minting, staking, NFT interoperability, and cross-game progression. A2Z functions as an ERC-20 token on both Ethereum (Layer 1) and Arena-Z Chain (Layer 2), supporting seamless transfers and gameplay interactions between networks.
Arena-Z’s modular framework enables:
A2Z serves as the core utility and governance token within the Arena-Z metaverse, supporting a range of applications across gaming, DeFi, and NFT ecosystems:
These use cases create a sustainable Web3 gaming economy where players, developers, and investors share in the value generated by the ecosystem.
