Crypto has seen everything. Yield farms that lasted a weekend. DAOs that couldn’t survive a group chat. NFTs that promised culture and delivered vibes.
So when a project shows up and says, “What if your CryptoPunk became a robot dog and fought other robot dogs on-chain?” — you stop scrolling.
That’s the Regular Punks Arena.
Built on Base, the Arena transforms one of crypto’s most iconic NFT collections into a fully verifiable, single-elimination tournament. Punk-headed robot dogs enter the bracket. Only one leaves with the crown.
Traits actually matter. Apes hit harder. Zombies absorb damage. Aliens move faster. Humans get no bonus at all. Add fighting styles like Aggressive, Defensive, Agile, or Explosive, and suddenly this isn’t RNG chaos. It’s probabilities, trade-offs, and timing.
Every match plays out in ticks using on-chain entropy. No off-chain servers. No hidden referees. If a dog loses, it’s because the numbers — and the blockhash — said so.
Watching Is a Position
Spectators don’t just watch. They participate.
Fans buy tickets tied to specific fighters. If your dog survives, your ticket stays alive. If it loses, your ticket dies with it. Brutal. Honest. Very on-chain.
At the end of the tournament, all ticket holders backing the champion split the betting pool. Early believers enter cheaply. Late buyers pay more as dogs fall and the pool grows.
It feels like March Madness — but with robot dogs, CryptoPunk lore, and outcomes anyone can verify.
Owners aren’t passive either. Fighters get limited power moves per match. You can’t spam them. Timing matters. Attention is rewarded without turning the game into a second job.
There’s real ETH on the line too. The top 512 finishers earn from a team-funded prize pool, with the champion taking the biggest slice.
Nanite Fixes the Token Problem
Most game tokens fail for one reason: unbacked supply.
Team allocations, advisor tokens, and airdrops all exist outside the liquidity pool. When they’re sold, they extract ETH from buyers without ever adding any.
Nanite does the opposite.
At launch, 100% of Nanite’s supply lives in the liquidity pool.
No team tokens. No pre-minted airdrops. No hidden claims.
If you hold Nanite, it was either:
- In the pool from Genesis, or
- Purchased with ETH through the bonding curve
Nothing else exists.
Fees With Real Consequences
Every Nanite trade pays a 10% fee, enforced by Uniswap V4 hooks.
- 5% buys tokens for community claims, then permanent burns
- 2% funds game rewards and tournaments
- 2% pays the team in ETH
- 1% supports protocol reserves
During Phase One, community claims accumulate slowly, purchased directly from the pool with ETH that never leaves the system. Once claims are complete, the mechanism flips automatically into buy-and-burn mode, permanently reducing supply.
No votes. No admin switches. No turning it off.
Why This Model Holds
Nanite enforces transfer restrictions at the protocol level. No OTC trades. No secondary markets. No fee dodging.
Claims don’t dilute holders because those tokens were bought at market price. Even if every claimant sold immediately, the pool remains healthier than traditional launches.
Burns increase ETH backing per remaining token. Volume benefits long-term holders. The team earns from activity, not dumps.
A Game That Earns Trust
Regular Punks Arena isn’t trying to reinvent gaming. It’s showing what credible on-chain games can look like when incentives are aligned.
Ownership stays on Ethereum. Gameplay lives on Base. Outcomes are deterministic. Token economics don’t rely on optimism or restraint.
No roadmap cosplay. No infinite emissions. Just robot dogs throwing hands — and a system designed to survive its own success.
Sometimes, that’s enough.
