🎮 Arena-Z Is Here: League of Kingdoms Evolves Into a Web3 Gaming Universe

[bonk]

Remember League of Kingdoms? The on-chain strategy game that proved Web3 could actually go mainstream? Well, it’s not just a game anymore — it’s becoming a full gaming ecosystem.

Welcome to Arena-Z — a new connected universe of blockchain-powered RPGs, idle games, and infinite expansion. 🧵
🧠 What’s Changing?

League of Kingdoms (LOK), one of the longest-running MMORTS titles in crypto, is evolving into Arena-Z, an ecosystem of interoperable games where your progress, rewards, and NFTs carry across titles.

Two new games are launching this quarter:

🏰 League of Kingdoms Chronicle – a dungeon-crawler RPG using LOK's NFT heroes

⚔️ League of Kingdoms Hunters – an idle RPG that runs 24/7 and boosts in-game progress

All of them are powered by the Arena-Z Chain, built on Optimism’s OP Superchain, which means Ethereum security and gas-efficient gameplay.
Why Does It Matter?

Arena-Z isn’t just a rebrand — it’s a pivot to a Web3-native vision where:

You own your gear, heroes, and progress

Your NFT heroes level up across different games

Blockchain isn’t forced — it enhances gameplay for those who want it

“Arena-Z represents our vision of 'Your Play Never Stops,'" says 3MERGED COO Han Yoo.

New Token, New Era

The old $LOKA token? It's evolving too.

💰 New token: $A2Z

Swap ratio: 1 $LOKA = 20 $A2Z

Swap date: July 28

Exchanges: Binance, Gate, and others

$A2Z is designed to power the entire Arena-Z economy, including external games, apps, and dev rewards.

There’s also a seasonal token called HT launching just for Hunters. It’s non-governance and fuels onboarding and rewards in each four-week game cycle.
$20 Million Ecosystem Fund

Arena-Z isn’t just building internally. They’ve launched a $20M fund to:

Attract devs building Web3 games or tools

Support external studios with “Web2 excellence + Web3 innovation”

Expand beyond LOK into limitless cross-game potential

If you're a builder, this is your sign to plug into something bigger than just one game.
Web3 with Asian DNA

With roots in Asia and a 5-year legacy of LOK community building, Arena-Z might just be one of the first true Web3-native gaming platforms that doesn’t abandon its player base.

“The future isn’t about one great game — it’s about connected universes,” says Yoo.

TL;DR:

League of Kingdoms → Arena-Z
3 games, 1 ecosystem
$A2Z token launches July 28
Real NFT progression across titles
$20M fund to fuel the Web3 gameverse
