SolArena Whitepaper
Version: 1.0 Date: 03/01/2026
1. Executive Summary
SolArena is a blockchain-based strategy card game built on Solana. It leverages Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) to give players true ownership of their in-game assets.
2. Legal Classification (MiCA Assessment)
The project team has conducted a self-assessment under the European Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation.
- Token Type: Utility Tokens / Other Crypto-Assets (NFTs).
- Exclusion: These tokens are unique and non-fungible, intended for use in a game. They arguably fall outside strict ART (Asset-Referenced Token) or EMT (E-Money Token) definitions, provided they remain unique and for utility.
- No Public Offer of Securities: The tokens do not represent equity, debt, or a right to profit.
3. Ecosystem & Utility
3.1 The Cards (NFTs)
Each card is a unique NFT with specific attributes (Attack, Defense, Rarity). Utility:
- Battle: Used to construct decks and compete in PvP matches.
- Collection: Can be collected to complete specific sets.
- Trading: Can be traded peer-to-peer on the secondary market.
3.2 The Marketplace
A decentralized venue where players can list and buy cards using SOL. The Platform takes a [X]% royalty on secondary sales to fund development.
4. Technology Stack
- Blockchain: Solana (chosen for high throughput and low cost).
- Standard: Metaplex / MPL-Core.
- Storage: IPFS/Arweave for metadata and asset permanence.
5. Roadmap
- Q1 2026: Genesis Mint & Marketplace Launch.
- Q2 2026: PvP Battle Arena Beta.
- Q3 2026: Mobile App & Tournaments.
6. Sustainability
The Solana blockchain is carbon-neutral. SolArena is committed to minimizing its environmental footprint by using Proof-of-History consensus.
