Basic Info
John: Hey everyone, welcome to our blog post on Guild of Guardians! I’m John, a veteran in the GameFi and Web3 space, and I’m here with my colleague Lila. We’re going to dive into this exciting Action RPG-style blockchain game in a way that’s easy for beginners to understand. Guild of Guardians is a mobile multiplayer fantasy RPG that integrates blockchain technology, allowing players to earn real-world value through gameplay. It was first announced around 2021, and based on recent web information, it’s still going strong into 2025 as a play-to-earn (P2E) project.
Lila: Hi John! As a junior writer, I’m super curious about this. So, for someone totally new, what’s GameFi? And how does Guild of Guardians fit into it? It sounds like a mix of gaming and finance, right?
John: Absolutely, Lila. GameFi is short for Game Finance, which combines video games with decentralized finance elements, like cryptocurrencies and NFTs (non-fungible tokens, which are unique digital assets). Guild of Guardians is built on the Immutable zkEVM blockchain, part of the Ethereum ecosystem, making it secure and scalable for gaming. In the past, it started as a project aiming to be a top mobile RPG where players battle the Dread in a fantasy world called Elderym. Currently, as of 2025, it’s positioned as a free-to-play crypto game with Action RPG mechanics, where you assemble teams of Guardians to fight and earn rewards.
Lila: That sounds epic! So, it’s like Diablo but with blockchain? I’ve seen some web articles calling it a revolutionary mobile RPG. Is it available on iOS and Android? And what’s the basic story or setting?
John: Spot on with the Diablo comparison—it’s fast-paced action with RPG elements. Yes, it’s designed for mobile, available on both iOS and Android, making it accessible. The story revolves around Elderym, a once-vibrant land now overrun by the Dread, an evil force. Players become Guardians, heroes who team up to restore light and battle monsters. From what I’ve gathered from official sources, the game emphasizes guild formations, where players join forces for bigger challenges.
Lila: Guilds? Like in MMORPGs? That’s cool for community building. For beginners, how do you even start? Do you need crypto knowledge, or can anyone jump in?
John: Great question. You don’t need deep crypto knowledge to start; it’s beginner-friendly with tutorials. Download the app, create an account, and you’re in. Blockchain integration comes later for earning NFTs or tokens. In the past, it had pre-registration hype with over 120K players lining up, as per old news. Currently, it’s evolved into a full-fledged P2E experience.
Lila: Awesome, that eases my mind. So, no barriers for newbies like me!
Tokenomics / Supply model
John: Moving on to tokenomics, which is essentially the economic model of the project’s cryptocurrency. Guild of Guardians uses the $GOG token, likely an ERC-20 token on Ethereum or Immutable. The supply model is designed for sustainability in a P2E ecosystem. From trusted media like CoinMarketCap articles, the total supply is capped, with portions allocated for gameplay rewards, staking, and team vesting.
Lila: Tokenomics sounds fancy—break it down? What’s staking, and how does the supply work? Is there inflation or something?
John: Sure, staking is like locking your tokens in a smart contract to earn rewards, similar to a savings account with interest. For $GOG, the supply model includes a fixed total supply to prevent endless inflation. In the past, during its launch phase around 2021-2022, tokens were distributed via initial offerings and community airdrops. Currently, as per 2025 analyses from sites like Gate.com, it’s focused on utility: using $GOG for in-game purchases, governance (voting on game decisions), and earning yields through staking pools.
Lila: Got it! So, not just money, but it powers the game. What’s the circulating supply versus total? And any burning mechanisms?
John: Good eye for details. From official whitepapers and Medium posts, the total supply is around 1 billion $GOG, with a portion circulating based on releases. Burning (permanently removing tokens from circulation) happens through transaction fees or in-game events, which helps control supply and potentially increase value over time. Looking ahead, deflationary mechanics could make it scarcer as the game grows.
Lila: Interesting—supply and demand like economics class. How do players get $GOG? Just by playing?
John: Primarily through gameplay, yes, but also via exchanges or staking rewards. It’s all about creating a balanced economy where earning feels rewarding without flooding the market.
Lila: Makes sense for long-term play!
Gameplay mechanics and NFT integration
John: Let’s talk gameplay. Guild of Guardians is an Action RPG, meaning real-time combat, character progression, and loot collection. Players build teams of Guardians—heroes with unique abilities—and engage in dungeon runs, boss fights, and PvP (player versus player) modes. NFTs integrate seamlessly: Guardians, weapons, and items are NFTs, owned truly by players on the blockchain.
Lila: Action RPG—fast and fun! How do NFTs work here? Are they like collectible cards?
John: Exactly, like digital trading cards but with utility. In the past, the game launched with NFT sales for early access Guardians. Currently, you can mint (create) or trade NFTs on marketplaces like OpenSea or the in-game market. Gameplay involves strategy: choose elemental affinities (fire, water, etc.) for team synergy, level up via XP, and craft gear using resources earned in battles.
Lila: Crafting? That’s creative! So, NFTs aren’t just art; they affect how you play?
John: Precisely. Owning a rare NFT Guardian gives advantages like higher stats or special skills, but the game balances it for free-to-play users too. Integration means you can sell or rent NFTs, creating a player-driven economy.
Lila: Rent? Like Airbnb for digital heroes? Wild!
John: Haha, yes! Scholarship programs in the past allowed experienced players to lend NFTs to newcomers, sharing earnings.
Lila: That’s inclusive. Any mobile-specific features?
John: Touch controls for intuitive combat, auto-battle for casual play, and cross-platform progress.
Developer team & community engagement
John: The developer team is key. Guild of Guardians is developed by Immutable, known for Gods Unchained, in partnership withStepico Games. The team includes gaming vets from Ubisoft and Riot Games, bringing AAA quality to blockchain.
Lila: AAA? Like high-budget games?
John: Yes, triple-A means top-tier production. Community engagement is strong via Discord, Telegram, and events. In the past, AMAs (Ask Me Anything sessions) and giveaways built hype. Currently, they host tournaments and feedback surveys.
Lila: How big is the community? Any notable figures?
John: From web stats, hundreds of thousands of players. Influencers like crypto gamers endorse it. Engagement includes guild competitions and social media polls.
Lila: Sounds lively! Do they listen to player feedback?
John: Absolutely, updates often stem from community votes using $GOG for governance.
Rewards system & user incentives
John: Rewards are the heart of P2E. In Guild of Guardians, you earn $GOG and NFTs from quests, dungeons, and events. Incentives include daily logins, milestone achievements, and guild contributions.
Lila: How much can you earn? Is it fair?
John: Earnings vary by skill and time, but it’s designed to be sustainable. Staking NFTs for passive income is another incentive. In the past, launch events had bonus multipliers; currently, seasonal events boost rewards.
Lila: Passive income—nice for busy folks!
John: Yes, and referral programs encourage inviting friends.
Competitor comparison
John: Compared to Axie Infinity, Guild of Guardians is more action-oriented and mobile-first, less breeding-focused. Versus Illuvium, it’s lighter on exploration but stronger in team battles.
Lila: What sets it apart?
John: Free-to-play entry and Immutable’s low fees make it accessible, unlike some gas-heavy competitors.
Lila: Gas fees? Like transaction costs?
John: Yes, zkEVM minimizes them.
Risk factors and challenges
John: Risks include market volatility—token values fluctuate. Regulatory changes in crypto could impact it. Challenges: balancing economy to avoid inflation, and maintaining player retention.
Lila: Scary, but real. Any security issues?
John: Blockchain is secure, but always use strong wallets. Past challenges included scalability, now addressed with zk tech.
Industry expert insights
John: Experts from CoinBureau praise its sleep-sacrificing fun. Cointelegraph notes its AAA potential.
Lila: What do they say about future?
John: Looking ahead, integration with metaverses could expand it.
X community buzz & roadmap updates
John: Based on real-time searches, X (formerly Twitter) buzz for Guild of Guardians is surprisingly low as of September 2025. There are no recent posts from the official @GuildofGuardians account in my checks, suggesting decreased activity or a shift to other platforms like Discord. However, older trends showed excitement about updates, and verified news from 2025 lists it in top GameFi projects, so it might still be operational but with quieter social presence.
Lila: That’s odd—maybe they’re focusing elsewhere? What’s the roadmap?
John: Roadmap from official blogs includes VR integration and new expansions for 2025-2026, but with low X buzz, it could indicate challenges in maintaining hype.
Lila: Hope it picks up!
