POW

POW! is live. A fully onchain clicker that anyone can play. No crypto setup. No wallet configuration. Just tap, upgrade and advance. Every action is a real Starknet transaction but the chain stays invisible until you finish and realize you are already onchain. POW! is built to onboard new users to Starknet and BTCFi. Think of it as a digital Bitcoin ATM that scales…. but fun, addictive and low cost. The game also sneaks in crypto concepts like Runes, Segwit and Blobs so new players lose fear of these terms.

throwback to 2024 KBW: a spicy noodle onchain gaming debate. "A lot of the games we're building now can probably be part of a bigger game later on". only on Starknet.

this mentality is what makes onchain gaming on @Starknet different. pure conviction and dedication. @aloothero, co-founder of @provablegames.

Hello guys, how are you doing? After some games, my last great NFT was this shiny dragon. Playing @LootSurvivor in this market is truly great. Seeing a project that truly embodies what Web3 gaming can be, and what a community and transparency can bring to development. Seeing @Starknet and @StarkWareLtd building, putting effort into the games on the chain and the infrastructure that provides tools to develop not only the game but the whole chain it's insane. The market goes down and up, but @StarknetEco is truly building!!!!

onchain games cut out the middlemen. no publisher tax, no platform gate, no “policy update” that nukes a whole economy. the game is a public protocol, players and builders plug in permissionlessly. new clients, new modes, new markets, same state. value capture shifts to the edges, and the edges compound. p2p loops beat corporate slurp.

pokerstars is the perfect web2 analogy. one room, one operator, one rulebook, one rake. they host the tournaments, they own the tables, they can change the rules, freeze cashouts, kill formats. onchain gaming is a room full of tokenized games that share the same public rails. the “casino” becomes optional. no gatekeeper needed to start a table, run a tourney, build a new client, or spin up a new meta on top of existing state. frontends and infra still get paid, but as competing service providers. open clients, indexing, matchmaking, tournament engines, they earn a cut because they add real value, not because they own the keys. incentives route to builders who ship. the core loop becomes player to player. players fund pools, compete, trade, craft, loot, and the payouts circulate back to players. devs win by making the loop addictive and extensible, not by trapping users in a walled garden. rpg, mmo, roguelike, whatever. same pattern. composable state, permissionless extension, value flows through the network. if one studio disappears, the world can keep running as long as the loop is worth playing.

Eli Ben-Sasson, Co-Founder of StarkWare and Zcash, predicts blockchain gaming as the breakout narrative of 2026 and recommends Loot Survivor on Starknet as the game to watch "I will say this first of all, a prediction for 2026. I think games are going to get a lot of attention, at least temporarily once again in 2026" "In this context I think if you enjoy gaming and you want to see what blockchain gaming looks like today, you got to check out Loot Survivor which is a very very time-consuming and fun game to play which is on Starknet"

In the inevitable future where fully onchain games are a massive driver of network adoption, value creation, and revenue... saying "I was always bullish on onchain games" will be entirely unbelievable from any account that has never played @LootSurvivor and holds no $SURVIVOR or Beasts. It takes 5mins to play, no login, completely free: lootsurvivor.io/survivor/play?… See Odin's guide below for helpful tips

the full guide from noob to advanced for @LootSurvivor beast mode on Starknet. 💀☠️💀☠️ Quick Start Guide for the no-manuals guys - Connect @cartridge_gg controller at lootsurvivor.io or use the alternative client at death-mountain-coral.vercel.app. Have some $LORDS in your wallet. get them here @avnu_fi - Upgrade charisma first to make health potions cost only 1 gold. - Buy a tier 1 weapon immediately. Do not use weak gear. - Fill every armor slot with tier 5 gear so beasts do not one shot you. - Get dexterity to level 3 so you can flee from nasty beasts. - Keep health over 100 always. - Kill beasts and collect their nfts. > Don't die. The Full Guide: From Noob to Advanced Settings and Focus First thing you do is go to settings and turn off animations. You want to move fast and the potion cap staying on while you drink gives my OCD the creeps. Use the alternative client from @djizus_ . It is not cheating. It levels the playing field by showing you the deep math of the game. In an age of bots and ai your only edge is critical thinking and creativity. The alternative client handles the math so you can focus on the human strategy that bots cannot replicate. The Early Game Foundation You start by dumping your first points into charisma. This keeps the market cheap. If you do not do this you will go broke buying potions. Buy a tier 1 weapon on turn one if possible. Items gain experience and a tier 1 weapon at level 15 unlocks massive special bonuses. If you use a lower tier weapon early you are just wasting experience on trash. For armor fill all five slots with tier 5 gear immediately. It does not matter if the gear is weak. If a slot is empty the game logic targets that area and you die. Use tier 5 as a cheap shield for your body until you find your real strategy. Stat Benchmarks Get dexterity to level 3 early. This gives you 100 percent flee chance in the beginning. Be aware that this chance drops as you go deeper into the dungeon. You do not need to keep it at 100 forever. Anything above 50 percent is decent. It is your emergency exit. Get wisdom and intelligence to level 2 plus. If you leave these at zero the game will punish you with constant fire storms and ambushes. Strength is your pure offense but Vitality is the real secret. It is a mix of defense and offense because it keeps you alive long enough to actually finish a fight. The Advanced Armor Flip This is where creativity separates you from the midfield. Tier 1 armor is great but tier 3 armor with high experience is sometimes better for specific fights. For example if you are wearing tier 1 hide you are strong against magic but a beast with a katana will still kill you. In the alternative client you can flip to a tier 3 metal armor in one click. Breaking the rules means not just sticking to one set. You integrate lower tier armor because of the material advantage. If you see a blade coming you switch to metal. If you see magic coming you switch to hide. Hybrid Weapon Tactics Advanced players do not just carry one weapon. A bludgeon and a book is a elite combo. You flip your attack gear depending on the beast type. This creates a game depth that bots struggle with. You are playing the math of the triangle in real time. Jewelry and Strategy Direction Rings and necklaces give you the kick you need for a legendary run. A gold ring early is sweet for the extra gold rewards. But the necklace is what defines your build. If you find a pendant that buffs hide armor your strategy is now crystal clear. You dump the tier 5 trash and buy tier 1 hide armor. The jewelry gives you the direction and you execute it with total focus. The Target: The Beast Stable The goal is to slaughter beasts and collect their nfts. These are not just jpegs. They will have massive utility in loot survivor 2. Think of them like elite race horses. Owning a tier 1 beast NFT is like owning Fusaichi Pegasus, which sold for 70 million dollars, or Shareef Dancer, which went for 40 million. These horses were valuable because of their bloodlines and breeding utility. Your beast nfts are the same. You are building a stable for the future of the ecosystem. NFA, FAFO. The Human Edge When you play this game it feels like a high stakes texas holdem tournament. Your palms sweat because every choice matters. Most players stay in the midfield because they play like bots. They just follow basic rules. To win you have to be creative. Use the tools to see the math then use your brain to break the game.
