My NFT Wars is a joint venture between iLogos Game Studios and the developers of Blockchain Cuties Universe building a Web3 massively multiplayer online role‑playing game (MMORPG) based on a Play-Create-Own model. The game is free-to-play and leverages tokenomics and NFT character development to reward players and enable an in-game economy. Players earn the $GMFI token through victories in raids and battles and can spend tokens on characters, land pieces, dungeons, raids, arenas and other features. All minting events will be connected to the unit economy to prevent an overflow of tokens on the market. Players can participate in the My NFT Wars treasury either actively or passively, with gameplay modes including auto-battle and an active mode where players build characters, form teams, and join raids. The company announced a $2M private funding round that provides early financial support for development and tokenomic rollout.
