what's realms?
Realms is a blockchain-based gaming ecosystem centered on onchain worlds, where players act as lords building and managing civilizations in a persistent, decentralized environment. It features strategy elements like resource gathering, realm forging, and empire expansion through automated systems and multiplayer battles. The project emphasizes player ownership via onchain mechanics, integrating NFTs and tokens for assets such as generals, resources, and territories. The core gameplay unfolds in phases, starting with settling modes for base-building and progressing to empire modes with real-time strategy (RTS) combat, including games like Blitz—a 4X (explore, expand, exploit, exterminate) title focused on tactical automation and nightly battles. Realms leverages blockchain for transparent, immutable world states, allowing seamless interoperability with other onchain projects. Community-driven development includes Discord for testing and pre-mainnet honing of skills, with seasonal launches introducing passes for entry and progression. The vision is to create enduring digital civilizations that evolve with player input, blending gaming with DeFi-like staking and governance elements.
