Blockchain game developer 51 Games has announced the integration of their web3 game Chainers with Immutable Play, introducing a new leaderboard through which players can play to earn $CFB and Gems.

What Is Chainers?

Chainers is a web3-powered free to play MMO in which players create their own customizable character referred to as a Chainer to dive into an ever-growing universe in which player choices shape the game’s living isometric 3D world. Claim your land and expand your corner as you grow various crops and raise animals to craft and produce valuable items that can be traded for in-game tokens or help you earn crypto through reward pools. Next to relaxing farming gameplay, players can explore the Chaineverse to uncover new mysterious areas and hidden resources while enjoying action-packed, real-time PvE and PvP shooter game modes to top leaderboards and earn crypto rewards such as exclusive NFT items for skill-based gameplay.

Players don’t need a crypto wallet to start playing, making it accessible to web2 gamers while providing the option to engage with web3 features for players looking to play and earn and participate in a player-driven economy, where more than 400k+ daily transactions are said to be made. Over 500k+ players have registered to date, while more than $100k+ has been earned by players through gameplay and varied reward pools. Every new player starts off with free NFTs provided upon registration, and they include a couple of random NFT items for character customization, and a non-tradable First Chainer (Basic Character Card) NFT that is soulbound and lets you play and enjoy the many activities this living MMO has to offer.

The game runs on the Chainers Chain, a Polygon sidechain built using Polygon Edge technology, making it compatible with Ethereum. The game’s economy is powered by $CFB, external currencies such as $POL, $BNB, soon $IMX, and eventually, the game’s on-chain hard currency, $CHU. All currencies use the ERC-20 standard, while all NFTs are ERC-721.

Until $CHU becomes the game’s foundational in-game ERC20 token used for everything, players can play to earn the in-game, internal token: Chainers Fidelity Bonds ($CFB). This token replaces $FRI and can be earned through reward pools as well as used to make purchases at the game’s store. At some point, it will be used to convert to the new $CHU token at an unspecified exchange rate. Reward pools also offer $POL and $BNB, giving players the opportunity to both play to airdrop and earn ecosystem tokens.

Why Did Chainers Partner With Immutable?

The Chainers team has a long-term vision of building a “dynamic multiverse” where your time and achievements have value, an interoperable metaverse that is designed for gamers who enjoy “intricate details in art, gameplay, and profitability.” To make this goal a reality, the studio needs a partner primed for collaborative growth in both technical and strategic aspects, as well as a partner that prioritizes players, and they believe that Immutable is the right partner that “echoes our dedication to that vision.”

The official docs further reveal that the chain’s Gems reward program, Immutable Passport, and cross-platform utility, are also some of the reasons for this new partnership. By integrating with the growing Immutable Play platform, the game’s community can now be rewarded with the Gems platform currency for free, with the currency used to redeem Keys of varying rarity that enable players to enter Weekly Draws through which prizes such as $IMX tokens and more Gems are up for grabs, alongside a free entry for another draw and a Key Tier-Up for next week’s draw.

This means that thanks to this integration, players will now be able to earn both $CFB and Gems through gameplay while enjoying faster on-chain activity in the form of instant L2 transactions and rewards, while Immutable Passport enables players to use a simplified log-in process using their email or social account.

Next to fee-free transactions and Immutable Passport as a new login option, there are also plans to launch unique branded Chainers NFTs alongside new quests in both Immutable Play and Chainers to complete in order to earn Gems and $CFB. More quests are coming very soon, according to the official X announcement. In the meantime, here is how you can prepare to play to earn by completing these new quests.

How to Play to Earn in Chainers With Immutable Play Quests

If you’re new to Chainers, sign up to the game’s official website using Google or X to start playing the browser-based web3 title in which you can earn daily rewards, build your own world, collect and create NFTs, enjoy seasonal content, and compete for leaderboard spots in frenetic top-down shooter gameplay.

For more rewards, head to the game’s official Immutable Play page to start completing various quests. Sign up to the platform with your email address or social account, and press the Follow button on the game’s platform page to start earning Gems. This will unlock access to a couple of simple social tasks, such as following the game on X, with each awarding 10 Gems. Soon, the developers will introduce more quests to complete, giving the blockchain gaming community the opportunity to earn even more Gems by playing the game instead of just doing social quests. It’s not clear if there will be a special leaderboard to climb to earn other rewards such as $CFB and $POL, but the developers do plan to give players the option to play to earn $IMX directly in the game at some point in the future.

Immutable Play is packed with various other games to complete quests in for more Gems as well. This month, Dæmons launched a $10k leaderboard with 1m $DMN in rewards, while Slime Miner launched globally across app stores with Immutable Play quests. Near the end of last month, Boss Fighters also kicked off a quest campaign together with Immutable.
