Vendetta Games, the gaming studio behind Chalk River, an AI-powered multi-game Wild West metaverse, has announced the Public Round launch of the $VDT token on TrustSwap Launchpad starting on Feb. 28th, 2024, at 5:00 PM UTC.
Introducing Vendetta Games
Vendetta Games is creating a sustainable metaverse ecosystem with their AAA Red Dead Redemption-style open-world RPG game, as well as a suite of blockchain and metaverse features and a publishing studio for a target audience of web2 and web3 gamers.
In the web3 gaming industry, the emphasis often falls more on the blockchain aspects than on gameplay quality. Vendetta Games is revolutionizing this space by adopting a ‘fun-first’ approach with a focus on crafting engaging, immersive game experiences that captivate players first and foremost. The web3 elements are integrated seamlessly but don’t overshadow the core gaming experience.
Instead, they enhance it by adding unique features like true ownership of in-game assets, transparent and secure transactions, and the potential for decentralized gaming economies. Vendetta Games’ approach signifies a pivotal shift in the industry, prioritizing player enjoyment and game quality while still harnessing the innovative benefits of web3 technology.
Harnessing AI in the Metaverse
The AI-integrated approach enables player-NPC interactions and “choose your adventure” style questlines to allow for rich storytelling. The use of AI across Vendetta Games and its Ecosystem enriches the overall gaming experience and allows Vendetta Games to stay relevant as trends change. It further enables the community to create their own adventures and assets within the metaverse, strengthening the Social-Fi aspect of the games.
Dynamic NFTs
Dynamic NFTs (dNFTs) are the cornerstone of all of the Vendetta Games. These dNFTs will have specific attributes that can be leveled up through playing the P2E versions and gaining “Experience Points” (XP) in the Suite of Vendetta Games.
Levelled-up Dynamic NFTs will perform better in all of these games and in the Chalk River Valley Metaverse, giving the user an advantage over the competition and earning more $VDT in-game.
Players can rent our dNFTs through the scholarship platform. They may also assign them as NPCs to help them defend property or complete storyline quests.
Character DynamicNFT (CdNFT)
Character DynamicNFTs have 6 different attributes that can be leveled up. A basic newly minted DynamicNFT will be level 0 and have basic levels of each attribute. As players earn XP, they can choose what attributes they want to allocate their acquired XP points towards. Each CdNFT has character-specific storyline quests that can be played.
Horse DynamicNFT (HdNFT)
Horse DynamicNFTs are tied to your mount. Players will use horses in Chalk River Canyon Run, Chalk River Invasion, and Chalk River Metaverse. Horses will have 4 different attributes that can be leveled up.
Limited Use & Utility dNFTs
Limited Use (luNFTs) and Utility NFTs (uNFTs) are an integral part of keeping the Vendetta Games economy running. Limited Use NFTs such as a Sheriff Badge or a Branded Saddle can only be used a certain number of times before they expire. These add buffs to the character/horse in-game to give it an advantage over the competition and increase rewards while performing certain tasks, such as mining for gold. Utility NFTs such as ammunition or medicine are also limited.
Business Model
Target Market
Vendetta Games is targeting web2/web3 gamers, crypto enthusiasts, NFT enthusiasts, and Western genre fans.
Revenue Streams
Revenue comes from NFT sales, premium subscriptions, ad revenue, and collecting a percentage of all in-game transactions.
Competitive Landscape
In the web3 space, few comparable products deliver a high-quality game experience in the Wild West genre. The most comparable is Grit, a battle royale from Gala Games. The Chalk River metaverse contains a much more diverse playing experience, with battle royale, PvP, story mode, and 7 exciting side games. It also features a more sophisticated in-game economy and web3 SocialFi characteristics. Furthermore, Grit is a single game, while Vendetta Games is a game studio that has produced numerous games.
$VDT Token Utility
$VDT is a non-inflationary token that is the core driver of all the games being published by Vendetta Studio, including:
- Chalk River Metaverse
- Shoot-out on Main Street
- Dead Man’s Canyon
- Vendetta Saloon
- Chalk River Canyon Run
- Chalk River Invasion
- Last Man Standing
- Three Kingdoms (Chinese historical open-world RPG/MMO games)
- Black Waves (Pirate-themed open-world RPG/MMO games)
$VDT serves as both the in-game currency and the key utility asset for players by supporting in-game transactions and circular economic models. $VDT token can be used in-game to purchase NFTs and for horse breeding. It can also be staked for rewards and exclusive whitelist spots for upcoming drops of NFTs that will unlock additional in-game discounts and benefits.

This Launchpad offering is for a Public Round allocation of the $VDT token. Anyone who wants to join can apply, but application does not guarantee an allocation.
As always, anyone with a $SWAP Staking Score of at least 4,000 can receive a guaranteed allocation provided that individuals (and entities) pass KYC (jurisdictional restrictions apply). Token allocation will be split up among eligible participants proportionately based on their percentage of the total combined Staking Scores. Any unclaimed allocations after the initial funding round will be offered to those who might otherwise be ineligible.
Visit the TrustSwap Dashboard to check your staking score. You can add more SWAP and/or increase the duration of your stakes at any time to increase your Staking Score. To learn more about Staking Scores and the TrustSwap Long-Term Staking Pool (LTSP), read our comprehensive blog post.
