MetaFight: The world’s first Fight & Earn NFT game

by James · July 5, 2022

Fight to Earn – Now, it’s a well thought out derivative of the play-to-earn model that, if performed well, could be a huge hit among Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fans. Or anyone who is interested in competing NFT games, for that matter.

MetaFight presents itself as the first metaverse and NFT game on the block that has used this concept to build an exciting and financially rewarding game.

MetaFight seems to be gaining momentum in the NFT / metaverse game circles, which makes many fascinated spectators curious about what MetaFight is, how it is played and the technology architecture it is built around.

We hope this early review will answer all of these questions so that you can get a head start before actually trying out the game. Let’s start with the basics:

MetaFight is an NFT game where players fight each other in leagues fighter card. Each fighter card is an NFT representing a professional MMA fighter.

Fighter cards are the most important resources in the game. Each card comes with a rarity level based on the total number of cards in circulation. The higher the rarity, the smaller the card in circulation.

The rarity scale is in the following order: Bronze> Silver> Gold> Legendary> Unique.

The rarity level emphasizes the broad value of a card, meaning that unique cards are the most valued card in the game, followed by legendary, gold, silver and bronze cards. The net supply of fighter cards is fixed for each issue.

Each fighter card comes packed with information about the fighter it represents. Some of this information may include:

The name and nationality of the fighter jet.
The gym where the fighter trains.
The weight category of the fighter.
The status and power of the battle.
The league where the fighter is active.
Card version (ie when the card was embossed).
MetaFight score, which basically represents the power of the card in the game.

In addition to the fighter cards, MetaFight also offers “passive cards” which players can use to increase their fighter cards. Passive cards come in several variants and together they represent the entire MMA ecosystem and its stakeholders. Apart from warriors, these cards represent all stakeholders in the MMA ecosystem, including sponsors, leagues, coaches and gyms, among others.

The total offer of passive cards per issue is more flexible compared to fighter cards.

You can join a league and start fighting against opponents by registering one of your fighter cards in the current league. Your fighter card will then be matched with your opponents during each match. You will participate in several matches during the league, and the outcome of each match will be determined by the following factors:

MetaFight score on your card
The real stats of the MMA fighter your card represents. (eg percentage of knockouts delivered by the fighter, contribution, win / loss ratio, and so on).
Boost provided by passive cards.
A random factor.

Note that in addition to the MetaFight score on your card and the boost provided by special NFTs and passive cards, the outcome of each match can be determined by roll of the dice. This serves the game on two fronts:

You get all the freedom to optimize your strategy at different levels through leagues.
Each fighter card has a realistic chance of defeating any other fighter card.

MetaFight leagues

Leagues are battle arenas where you can register your fighter card and start competing against other players. Your ranking in the game and placement on the leaderboard is determined by how you perform throughout the league. The higher your position on the leaderboard, the greater the reward pot you are likely to win.

Players can engage other players in 1v1 modes, or they can participate in leagues with eight to 128 players (or more). When one league is fully booked, another is created automatically to accommodate more players.

Leagues can last anywhere from a few hours to a few days. In fact, the more challenging leagues with higher rewards can sometimes take a week or more.

All leagues have announced start and end dates in advance. You can only register one fighter card per league. When the game locks your card for a league, you cannot use it elsewhere until the league ends.

The core of the MetaFight meta-verse is its original NFT marketplace. Here you can acquire and exchange NFTs including fighter cards.

To start playing MetaFight, you must first obtain your virginity cards in the game. The process is relatively simple – you visit the marketplace and buy a Booster.

A Booster consists of three cards, including fighter and passive cards. The three cards are randomly picked so you do not know which cards will be there until after you have bought the Booster. However, the rarities of each Booster are specified on the product page to make it easier for you to choose.

The only way you can get bronze, silver and gold cards is by buying Boosters. However, you can get legendary cards through Boosters and direct purchases.

However, you can buy unique cards only through auctions.

Fight and win: how does it work?

In the first phase, MetaFight will reward users with fighter cards, boosters and passive cards. However, it plans to add cryptocurrencies to the reward pool in the subsequent phases.

Overall, the rule of thumb in the game is that the more you fight, the more NFTs you can win.

MetaFight presents Cage Event as the most lucrative arena where you get access to high value rewards. Here you have to complete daily and weekly challenges to stack points. Top performers in Cage Events gain access to exclusive sales with special NFTs.

Over time, MetaFight will roll out two different types of leagues – regular leagues and premium leagues, the latter offering a much larger rewards pool.

MetaFight was co-founded by Thomas Chauveau (CEO) and Julia Mahé (Head of Legal & Business Affairs), both with serious experience in web 3.0, games and NFT / metaverse ecosystems.

The team that monitors the project has already done itself, which is definitely a big factor that favors openness and user trust.

Not only that, but MetaFight is also supported by several technology partners, including France-based Terona (more on that in the following segment).

And the best thing about the game is that it wants to give users one authentic MMA experience – to the extent possible by an NFT game. To ensure that, the MetaFight team claims to have already taken in several organizations as the game’s MMA partners. These organizations include BA International Management, MMA Factory, Marseille Fight Club, Bulgarian Top Team, Boxing Squad, Resilience Sport Management and World Fight Sports Management.

MetaFight is powered by Ternoa, a Polkadot-based multi-chain NFT network that promises tool-focused cross-compatible, carbon-neutral NFTs aimed at dApps, games and other Web 3.0 inventions.

Ternoa promises the following advantages over other modern NFT networks:

Low transaction fees – as low as $ 1 per transaction or less.
A much superior transaction flow.
Fully encrypted and decentralized data, thus ensuring data security.
The ability to enable NFT rental and sharing in a simple way without requiring the transfer of ownership.
Multisig capability, which means it allows NFT wallets with multiple owners.
Interoperability, which is crucial for NFT and Web 3.0 platforms such as MetaFight.
Fractionalization, or the ability to divide the ownership of an NFT between several owners.

The ultimate mixed martial arts NFT game?

Based on our first impression, MetaFight packs the right ingredient to offer an authentic fight-and-win experience to fans of MMA and NFT games. The team that oversees the project seems experienced and competent – especially considering how they have followed the roadmap with sincerity so far.

The partnerships MetaFight has forged along the way with more technology and MMA partners add even more meat to its long-term potential.

The MetaFight White Paper is a great place to start learning more about fighter cards, the MetaFight NFT marketplace, and other aspects of the game.

Alternatively, you can also try it yourself to get a first-hand experience of MetaFight’s elaborate metavers.
