Fully Onchain, Token-Agnostic DeFi Metagame on Starknet
Quick Start • Game Docs • Widget System • Architecture •
PonziLand is a fully onchain, token-agnostic DeFi metagame where you conquer lands, stake tokens, nuke rivals, and build your empire on Starknet. Every land is a battleground of strategy, risk, and reward—will you become a PonziLord or get rugged by your neighbors?
Clone the repo and run the client locally with the mainnet contract:
git clone git@github.com:RuneLabsxyz/PonziLand.git

PonziLand is a blockchain-based game where players can own, trade, and earn from virtual land plots. Each plot can be purchased using different tokens and generates taxes from neighboring lands. Players must maintain sufficient stake to avoid having their land "nuked" (forcefully removed). The game is designed to be fully token-agnostic, allowing for a wide range of DeFi strategies and social gameplay.
Core Gameplay:
- Conquer: Acquire land through Dutch auctions or by buying from other players.
- Stake: Lock tokens as security to protect your land from being nuked.
- Earn: Collect taxes from your neighbors and claim rewards.
- Nuke: If your neighbors don't keep up, nuke their lands and expand your empire.
- Upgrade: Level up your land and maximize your earnings.
PonziLand is a game of strategy, timing, and social maneuvering—where every day is a new scheme.
