The additional funding will help us hone and sharpen MetalCore even further to deliver the most fun, engaging, and awesome experience.”
Web3, Blockchain, NFTs
What sets MetalCore apart from its competitors is its commitment to delivering a captivating gaming experience, regardless of players' engagement with web3 elements.

Tri-Currency Economy
Central to Metalcore's gameplay is a tri-currency economy. Holy Credits are earned through gameplay and used for player progression. SHARDS offers customization options. The $MCG token, an ERC-20 token on Immutable’s zkEVM rollup, supports all transactions and incentivizes player achievements.
In-Game Currency $MCG
MetalCore's native token, $MCG, will play a vital role in shaping the game’s future, allowing mechs, vehicles, and weapons crafted from blueprints or looted to be converted to non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and equipped and used in-game.
