Get Ready to Race: DCRC RaceX Releases Wen Lambo DEMO for the Oraichain Community
Oraichain has a new addition to its GameFi ecosystem. After more than a year of development, we are happy to announce that DCRC RaceX has delivered the Alpha version of Wen Lambo, enabling Oraichain community members to test the game engine in advance of mainnet integration.
DCRC began their Web3 adventure building the RaceX engine for the Avalanche ecosystem, but quickly identified the value of Oraichain’s supportive community. Their decision to launch Wen Lambo on Oraichain on top of their game engine was well received, selling all 500 aiKeys in the early presale event. Today, we are happy to announce that the Alpha version of this peer-to-peer racing experience is now available for the Oraichain community.
Before diving into a walkthrough, we want to extend our appreciation to the DCRC team for remaining committed to their vision throughout the past year. As the first independent team to announce their intention to build on Oraichain, we are thrilled to see the fruits of their labor materialize as a truly impressive game and look forward to mainnet integration.
