Greetings, Boosters!
ChainBoost continues its project launch review series with the second project to be featured, Domi Online. Launched in December of 2021, Domi has since made steady progress in the development of the MMORPG they believe the world has long been wanting.
Domi is dedicated to creating a hardcore, old-school MMORPG that features player-earned and player-owned assets, sustainable seasonal rewards, and a progression-free from level caps and other hindrances to enjoying an engaging and immersive online RPG experience unrivaled by current offerings. Check out the Domi Online website if that sounds like the game for you!
Introducing Domi Online
Domi features include:
- Immersive and engaging gameplay in a fantasy setting developed by a team of veteran specialists
- Everlasting gameplay free of shortcuts and level caps in which skill and risk-taking are rewarded and in which death has consequences
- PvE, PvP, and guild-based game experiences
- Players earn collectible and tradable in-game digital collectibles
- Seasonal prizes reward players for their energy, talent, and time
Domi Online is a carefully updated classic MMORPG brought into the play-and-earn realm of Web3. While on-chain ownership and earning are carefully integrated gameplay aspects, emphasis is placed first and foremost on providing an immersive and engaging gaming experience.
A core team possessing extensive industry-specific experience with backgrounds ranging from ChainGuardians to Runescape has been hard at work developing an immersive fantasy experience based on everlasting gameplay that eschews level and skill caps along with any other mechanism that hinders a player’s efforts to attain the top the leaderboards and to dominate the competition.
Domi presents players with an unending set of opportunities providing a wide range of risk and reward, benefitting those whose boldness matches their skills. Dying has severe consequences, costing both experience and the potential loss of items for those who get in over their heads. Strategy, skills, and map control are vital elements for those who seek true power, as there is always something vital at stake in Domi’s unforgiving realms.
There are four unique character classes with distinct attributes available in Domi, with an option complementing each player’s unique approach to attaining power and dominance: Sorceress, Priest, Amazon, and Warrior. Players engage in immersive PvE, encountering a vast array of mythical creatures and in high-stakes, skill-based PvP gameplay. Guilds provide additional means of achieving dominance through cooperation and collective competition.
Players quest in the realms of Domi for rare digital collectibles that provide them with advantages on the battlefield. True ownership of in-game assets means that players ultimately control the spoils they earn. In-game assets may be sold and traded on-chain as players wish, enhancing control over their characters’ destinies.
Domi emphasizes unhindered progress to dominance for those with the skills and dedication to top the leaderboards, and seasonal rewards provide a means of granting rewards gleaned from sustainable treasury earnings. This model, similar to endowments funding prominent awards in the real world, allows Domi to reward its players for the general success that their time and talents afford the project. Domi Online was founded with a player-first focus in every aspect, and including the community of players in sharing the rewards of Domi’s success is a central part of the platform’s design.
$DOMI — Domi Online’s Governance and Utility Token
$DOMI, the governance and utility token employed by Domi Online, allows holders to participate in governance, determining the game’s direction and broader platform and staking for in-game assets. The token will also enable various transactions associated with the platform and the in-game marketplace.
Governance is the framework of authority and accountability that defines and controls the outcomes and prospects of Domi. $DOMI holders participate in governance proposals in the Domi Discord regularly, making vital decisions on lore, helping to shape the on-chain governance proposal structure, proposing $DOMI token utility, and contributing to the direction of concept art. This grants $DOMI holders exclusive behind-the-scenes access and allows participants to contribute to in-depth discussions behind each implementation undertaken within Domi Online.
Through staking $DOMI, holders will earn cTOKENs, which may, in turn, be redeemed for exclusive collectibles, skins, cosmetics, titles, and other items with use in the game. While many staking arrangements inflate the supply of the token to which they are supposed to add value, this dual-asset system ultimately rewards stakers with usable and tradable items meant to enhance the Domi Online experience. This forms a vital part of a sustainable economy designed to support the everlasting gameplay of Domi Online.
$DOMI will play a central role in a user-based economy in which gamers earn and maintain full possession of the critical in-game assets they use to ascend to the heights of domination. Token details are as follows:
- Available on Gate.io ($DOMI / $USDT), Trader Joe (Avalanche), PancakeSwap (BSC), and UniSwap (Ethereum)
- $DOMI Ethereum (ERC20):

Substantial development on token utility is also underway, with the $DOMI internal staking contract undergoing a thorough Certik audit to ensure the protocol’s security. Users will soon be able to stake $DOMI for cTokens, redeemable for exclusive collectibles, skins, cosmetics, titles, and other items used in the game.
Finally, the Domi alpha, in which the community of dedicated testers has played an integral role in providing vital data and feedback to the creative and development teams, now enters its latter stages with the multiplayer implementation, currently being tested for stability and scalability. Alpha keys continue to be released in increasing numbers to the thousands of gamers eager to enter the world of Domi. Once multiplayer and a few other key elements are deemed stable, the team intends to open the alpha to the public in conjunction with the first organized Domi marketing campaign.
