LOKA<>A2Z: Game to Gaming Platform
Ecosystem upgrade & Token rebranding
TL;DR — Key Takeaway
The new tokenomics reflects our evolution from a single-game token to a platform infrastructure token:
- League of Kingdoms team has launched a new L2 blockchain built on the OP Superchain. The chain has joined the collective as a premier game publishing chain and will be onboarding 6 new games and counting in 2025.
- LOKA <> A2Z : LOKA Contract (ERC20) >> A2Z (ERC20; Contract not deployed yet) + A2Z will be natively bridged to Arena-Z’s AZ Chain; both A2Z token and on-chain swap contract has been fully audited (see audit report here); The new token will be pro-rata redenominated
- Community-backed initiative: We’ve completed our community feedback gathering process, including a formal announcement and two successful governance votes, demonstrating strong community support for this initiative.
- Expanded Utility: A2Z powers the entire Arena-Z gaming ecosystem, including: • Gas sponsorship through Invisible Wallet infra (AA) • Priority access to new game launches and NFT drops • Platform tools and SDK access • “Commue” reward system and many more to come.
- Enhanced Ecosystem Pool: • Combined 39% allocation merges ecosystem and staking pools (20% unutilized)• 2x Larger ecosystem growth pool ($60MM+ at Dec 2024 FDV) to support: Game developers and studios; Platform contributors; Community & community initiatives; marketing, event, and growth through investment, grant, and airdrop.
- Existing Structure: • Core token flow mechanics remain robust • All current holder allocations maintained proportionally • Original vesting schedules preserved (scaled to new denomination)
Our transformative Journey to the future of gaming
GM LOKANS!
Exciting times ahead as we embark on a transformative journey!
Thanks to your support and endorsement, we’re evolving from League of Kingdoms (LOKA) to Arena-Z (A2Z), marking our expansion from a single-game token to a comprehensive gaming platform token that will power the future of web3 gaming.
Building since 2019 and fortunate to be backed by some of the best investors the world has to offer like a16z, Sequoia, and Hashed, we’ve been focused on building a robust ecosystem and engaging gaming experience around our original content — League of Kingdoms — so more people immerse themselves in the beauty of web3 gaming innovation.
Our transformation goes beyond a simple rebranding — it represents our growth from League of Kingdoms’ success into a multi-game universe and then a comprehensive A-to-Z platform for both gamers and builders.
This evolution to Arena-Z isn’t your typical rebrand — it’s a whole new chapter in our story. We’re transforming from a single-game champion into your complete gaming home base. You’ll be at the forefront of an ecosystem innovation featuring seamless gaming with Invisible Wallets, first dibs on the hottest new games and NFTs, plus our sweet “Commue” gamified pet system. And for all you builders out there, we’re rolling out the red carpet with plug-and-play SDKs, Quest & Earn platforms, AI-driven game builders — all the tools you wished to create something amazing and beyond!
On top of all of the above, the new A2Z token maintains our commitment to value, with a redenomination designed to optimize unit economics while preserving proportional ownership for all our loyal LOKA holders. The new A2Z token will have its core place in our in-house games sharing LOK legacy while adding extensive utilities across new games as well as other platform suites.
This evolution reflects our dedication to making web3 gaming effortless to build, launch and play for all. With a combined ecosystem pool representing 39% of the network, we’re positioned to support more builders, creators, and gaming partners than ever before.
To our long-time supporters — you’re not just along for the ride; you’re helping drive the future of gaming. The transition to Arena-Z (A2Z), planned for early 2025, marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter in our journey together.
