MetaKing Studios, the developer behind the medieval strategy game Blocklords, has announced the launch of its L3 blockchain, Lordchain. This move is part of the studio’s efforts to scale its gaming ecosystem, particularly following the success of its on-chain idle RPG, Blocklords Dynasty.

Building on the Ethereum L2 Base network, Lordchain leverages cutting-edge scalability solutions to handle the increasing demands of on-chain gaming. The new blockchain is designed to support up to 100 million users and billions of transactions, with the goal of reaching a throughput of more than 5 million gas per second.

About Lordchain

The launch of Lordchain stems from the rapid growth of Blocklords Dynasty, which debuted in July 2024. The game attracted 1.85 million users and processed over 80 million transactions on Base, highlighting the need for a more robust and scalable infrastructure. MetaKing Studios plans to use Lordchain to support the full migration of its main Blocklords game to the blockchain.

Advanced Technology and Ecosystem Design

Lordchain is built on the OP Stack framework, ensuring cross-chain compatibility and interoperability. One of its key features is the ability to bridge to the Base network in under 10 seconds. For transactions on Lordchain, MetaKing Studios has implemented the LRDS token as the platform’s native currency, ensuring ecosystem sustainability.

Master Validator Node

As part of the Lordchain launch, MetaKing Studios introduced the Master Validator Node system. This initiative allows participants to secure the network by locking LRDS tokens, earning rewards in return. Validator nodes play a crucial role in maintaining the network's security and performance by ensuring that transactions comply with the protocol's rules.

Key benefits for validators include:

• Exclusive Rewards: Validators are incentivized with unique benefits tied to their contributions.
• Governance Power: Node operators gain influence over decisions such as protocol updates and fee structures.

Validators are integral to the platform’s consensus mechanism, which employs multiple nodes to agree on transaction validity, enhancing security and reducing the risk of fraud.

Looking Ahead

MetaKing Studios has planned the rollout of Lordchain’s testnet and mainnet as the next steps in its scaling strategy. Additionally, the studio is set to release the Blocklords “Battleborne” update, which introduces large-scale battles with thousands of units vying for control of the in-game economy.
