Blockchain Gaming

Everdawn Champions, formerly known as Warriors of Aradena, is a medieval fantasy gaming brand and ecosystem created by Litoja Labs. The company, backed by Animoca Brands and partnered with Immutable, set out to revolutionize blockchain gaming.

Kalmia partnered with Aradena from the very beginning, helping them transform their vision into reality after their successful NFT launch in 2021. We provided end-to-end Web3 development, from blockchain infrastructure to game integration and user experience enhancements.

A full-fledged questing system with complex interactions.
Interoperability across Ethereum, Polygon, Base, Immutable X, and Avalanche.
Handling heavy traffic peaks during sales and in-game events.
Game integration with Unity, ensuring a smooth experience for players.
