Blockfight Update and Airdrop Campaign
Since we launched Blockfight nearly a month ago, we have had a good response, both from players and game platforms and publications. Masternode holders have realized the benefits of the revenue from the game in the form of award payouts.
In response to player feedback, we have released several revisions to the game and added some great new features, including (but not limited to):
- Website and social media links added to home screen
- Added Achievements section to game menu
- Improved instructions explaining commission rates
- Added Hot Matchups to battle pairings with winning streaks
The biggest update is this week’s announcement about the launch of the Android version of the game! Thanks to the efforts of our development team, the game is just as much fun on mobile as it is on the web, with all of the same features! You can find the Android application on the Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=games.blockandchain.blockfight
To login to your crypto wallet from the mobile game, simply scan the QR code from the web version of the game and you will be logged in automatically. This will allow you to play the game with Ethereum or Halo. Players can still play with the in game currency of they prefer. We recorded a simple video explaining how this works: https://youtu.be/zegI8-zo3SI
And there’s more to come!

This week, we paid out all players who participated in week 1 of our Airdrop campaign. We are pleased to announce our community has grown to over 1100 people and our Monthly Active Users in Blockfight has increased 6-fold since the airdrop campaign began. The Airdrop will continue to the end of the month and we periodically change the parameters slightly each week to draw attention to different things.
Draggin’ Dragons Beta Update!
We’ve been putting the finishing touches on Draggin’ Dragons closed beta and we are pleased to announce the winners of the Blockfight community event for early access today have been given the game to play! This means, open beta will follow for everyone else who signed up next week!
The game will soft launch in the coming weeks with Speed Races and Dragon Ownership. Players will be able to wager on their favorite dragon in one of 5 themed tracks and place 1st, 2nd or 3rd place to win.
Players can also purchase dragons from the in-game market and win 1% of that dragon’s first place winnings from all races.
Platform Update
The most important components of our game API’s have been polished through the course of Blockfight’s launch, specifically wallet login (aka Block and Chain Games single sign on) and the Crypto Cage. These are assets all games on our platform will benefit from.
Improved on-screen messaging in the Crypto Cage for ETH deposits
Crypto Cage walkthrough for new users
We’re focused on refactoring and streamlining our authentication system. Once that’s complete, we’ll focus on investigating new token standards, like erc1155 and erc721, for Halo Platform. This will enable on-chain asset ownership for games like Draggin’ Dragons.
