Scheduled to commence on March 11th via the Arbitrum Portal, the event will kick off with an informational session on Tuesday, March 5th, offering participants a glimpse into the plethora of opportunities it brings.
Prizes and Rewards
For content creators, the Arbitrum Arcade offers a unique chance to have their content showcased on the official Arbitrum X account, vie for a custom gaming PC, and share from a $200,000 grant prize pool dedicated to creators.
Aspiring creators can register before March 4th, 12pm EST, to be considered.
On the user front, the Arcade presents an exciting opportunity to delve into over 24 games spread across eight weeks, with a fresh lineup of three or more games featured each week. Utilizing Clique, users can create attestations about their gaming journey and mint an exclusive NFT on OpenSea as a testament to their participation.
Gaming teams venturing to deploy their games on Arbitrum One, Nova, or an Orbit chain by April 15th can vie for a coveted spot in the final week’s lineup.
Arcade Lineup
Each week of the Arcade will be dedicated to a unique lineup of games native to the Arbitrum ecosystem. Expect to encounter an array of captivating titles such as Ai Arena, BattleFly, Cosmik Battle, Monkey Empire, and more. Moreover, gaming projects not featured in the initial seven chapters will have a chance to join the action in the grand finale.
Central to the spirit of the Arcade is its emphasis on content creation.
With $200,000 in grants up for grabs, distributed equitably among participating creators, and three high-performance gaming PCs awaiting the most engaged creators, there’s ample incentive for creators to make their mark.
To be eligible, creators must have churned out at least 10 pieces of Web3 gaming video content within the last 60 days and commit to producing weekly content related to the participating games.
The Arcade introduces an innovative onchain gaming system, developed by Clique atop EAS, allowing players to proudly display their onchain and offchain achievements across their favorite games within the Arbitrum ecosystem. This groundbreaking system is poised to become a staple feature beyond the Arcade, serving as a public good for both the Arbitrum and wider gaming community.
Preparing for Arbitrum Arcade
Users should ensure they have sufficient ETH to cover gas fees, while content creators should gear up their equipment and register to participate. Gaming teams eyeing participation should aim to debut their games by the end of Chapter 4.
With its promise of innovation, rewards, and community engagement, Arbitrum Arcade stands as a beacon of excitement in the ever-evolving landscape of Web3 gaming.
