Do I need a wallet to play?
+
No. Casual/Unranked mode is completely free to play and doesn't require a wallet. Ranked
matches require wallet connection and a paid buy-in stake.
Is there a token?
+
No token and no pay-to-win. Rewards are purely skill-based. You earn by winning matches, not
by holding tokens.
What game modes are available?
+
VS Protocol features three distinct modes:
• Extraction (Alpha) - PvPvE underground survival with AI enemies and loot
extraction
• Collapse (Beta) - Battle Royale with shrinking zones for up to 24
players
• Terminal (After Launch) - Objective-based PvP with crypto wallet drain
mechanics
Which blockchains are supported?
+
VS Protocol supports multiple chains including Bitcoin (BTC), Solana (SOL - primary),
Ethereum (ETH), Avalanche (AVAX), and more coming soon. Solana is currently the active
primary chain.
How do ranked buy-ins work?
+
In Ranked mode, players stake crypto as a buy-in. Winners receive their share of the prize
pool based on performance. The pool split is transparent and skill-based. You can also
activate a Reality Node to sponsor free buy-ins for others in your community.
What is Reality Node?
+
Reality Node is an optional feature that allows you to sponsor free ranked buy-ins for your
community, provide resources for extraction mode, and receive exclusive rewards. It's easy
to activate and turn on/off anytime, perfect for guilds and content creators.
What platforms is the game available on?
+
VS Protocol is built in Unreal Engine 5 and is currently PC-only. Future platforms may be
considered post-launch based on community demand.
How do I join the alpha?
+
Click "JOIN ALPHA" on the homepage to join the waitlist. Alpha testers will receive early
access invites, exclusive Creator Program opportunities, and Genesis NFT mint eligibility.
Are there NFTs involved?
+
Yes, but purely cosmetic. VS Protocol features character and weapon skins as NFTs. These are
optional collectibles with zero gameplay advantages - no pay-to-win.
How does anti-cheat work?
+
Powered by Cyberlete with AI-based behavior profiling. We detect aimbots, macros, ESP, and
anomalous input patterns using hardware-level signals and real-time analysis. Penalties
escalate from temporary bans to permanent wallet-level enforcement.
