Onchain Heroes

Onchain Heroes is a strategic, fully-onchain idle RPG on Abstract where every decision matters. It pairs short daily play with long-term progression, putting real game mechanics, fair play, and true asset ownership directly onchain, and lends its name to the studio behind a growing family of Abstract games.

What is Onchain Heroes

Onchain Heroes is an idle RPG built around heroes and meaningful choices rather than constant grinding. The studio's design goal is to keep the core loop light enough for daily play while running the underlying mechanics fully onchain, so progress, ownership, and outcomes are verifiable rather than locked inside a private server.

Gameplay

Players guide heroes through an idle RPG loop of decisions, upgrades, and progression. Short daily actions compound over time, rewarding consistent strategy over raw playtime, with the emphasis on fair, transparent mechanics where each meaningful choice carries real weight.

Economy & Assets

Onchain Heroes is built around true asset ownership: in-game assets and progression live onchain on Abstract rather than as off-chain entries, so players hold what they earn. The fully-onchain design is core to the studio's pitch of fair, player-owned gameplay.

Team & Backing

Onchain Heroes is built by the studio of the same name, founded and led by skarly. The same team also ships the onchain turn-based roguelike dungeon crawler Maze of Gains, a sibling title on Abstract.
