SolChicks, the leading Play-to-Earn (P2E) game on the Solana blockchain, has been soaring in popularity in recent weeks. As it approaches its Initial Dex Offering (IDO), happening in just two days’ time (the IDO will take place on 26 November 2021), interest in the NFT-powered, metaverse game is at an all-time high.
The demo of the SolChicks game (a battle-royale game where players use NFT avatars) was released only last week and already, over 50,000 players have joined in the fun so far.
Earlier today, William Wu, co-founder, and CEO of SolChicks had this to say:
“Play-to-Earn is set to disrupt the traditional gaming sector in ways never seen before. With the backing of our strategic investors, our team is aggressive and relentless in carving out our position as the dominant player in the new era of gaming.”
SolChicks is doing something special in helping to facilitate convergence between different areas of socio-technological advancements. As such, SolChicks is quickly becoming one of the leaders at the intersection of NFTs, crypto, metaverse, and online gaming. This fast-growing sector is thus bringing together blockchain technology, artificial intelligence, and augmented reality.
Lewis Grafton, COO of SolChicks, had this to say:
“We are breaking new ground as we lead the convergence of blockchain-based gaming that has until now lacked the production quality of traditional games, and also traditional gaming markets that have yet to adopt this new model of player-ownership and rewards.”

Interest in the game has also translated into incredibly-fast growth in its social media following in the past week. For example, Twitter followers have increased from 26k to 186k, a whopping 615% increase, whilst Telegram followers went from 13k to 155k (+1,092%), and Discord followers from 66k to 135k (+105%). SolChicks also has celebrity endorsement in the form of none other than the legendary hip hop artist and actor, Ice Cube.
Following high investor interest (SolChicks announced that it has attracted some 328 private investors) it is no surprise that the floor price of the SolChicks NFT has risen from 1.8 SOL to 17 SOL (+844%), equating to around US$3,500 for the lowest price NFT available. If you want a SolChick NFT with “rare attributes”, you may have to fork out as much as 160 SOL (US$35,000).
SolChicks plans an alpha release in Q1 2022 and a full game release in Q4 2022.
