Mines of Dalarnia, a free-to-play, play-to-earn mining game is officially getting a mainnet launch tomorrow, April 26th, as revealed by game director Keith McCollough at the Miami NFT Week. 

Following a 2.0 testnet last month which started off with 200 players mining and fighting their way through procedurally-generated plots, with more testers gaining access throughout March and April, the Workinman Interactive team is now ready to officially launch the mainnet version on the BNB Chain.

The third and last ‘Mining Plot’ land sale before this release was held at the beginning of this month,  where 2620 plots were sold to eligible stakers of $DAR, the native and utility token of Mines of Dalarnia. 

Players jumping into the game for free will get to mine various resources on the Luna Praxis moon only, with the other 3 planets, Terra Prime, Terra Simia and Terra Caldera available to owners of the Mining Passport NFT. This also means that you will need to have the Mining Passport in order to participate in the game’s play-to-earn economy, an NFT that costs 20 $DAR, which equates to around $20 at the time of writing.

Those who participated in V1 and V2 testnet are both potentially eligible for various rewards. V2 testers who played the game on the BNB Testnet are all able to receive 20 $DAR, a Mining Pass NFT, a cosmetic “Cat Skin” armor NFT and cosmetic “Cat Skin” helmet NFT. 2000 players who participated in the V1 testnet using a Chromia Vault account could receive tiered rewards, depending on if they meet certain conditions.

The game’s investors and partners include Animoca Brands, Binance, The Sandbox and Chromia. While the game is initially launching on the BNB Chain, the developers plan to port Mines of Dalarnia to the Chromia blockchain this 2022.
