Nifty Royale is thrilled to announce that we are live on mainnet with Chainlink Keepers and Chainlink VRF, creating truly random and autonomous NFT battle royale games on Ethereum.

The Nifty Royale platform facilitates primary market sales of original NFT artwork (commonly known as “Drops”), as well as peer-to-peer trading of these NFTs on secondary markets. After the completion of curated drops, NFTs acquired by collectors are automatically entered into a battle royale where individual NFTs are randomly eliminated round by round until only one is left. The winning NFT is upgraded to a one-of-a-kind NFT with unique attributes such as animations, while all other participants retain ownership of their NFTs without any loss.

Our planned genesis drop on June 30th at 1PM PDT will feature an original portrait of Sergey Nazarov created by @Lushsux — a world-renowned street artist from Australia. Interested members in the Chainlink community can visit the site at 1PM to participate in the genesis drop and first battle royale, and potentially win a one-of-one upgraded NFT with an animated Chainlink background.

We selected Chainlink as our go-to oracle solution because it is widely used and time-tested, already securing tens of billions of dollars in value for top blockchain projects in the ecosystem. Our NFT battle royales use Chainlink Keepers to reliably automate the elimination process by triggering the start of each new round after a predetermined time interval has passed. Additionally, we leverage Chainlink VRF as the source of randomness to unbiasedly and transparently eliminate NFTs in each round. These crucial features ensure that the battle royales run in a decentralized and automated manner end-to-end and are provably fair to all participants. For more information on why we chose Chainlink, view our previous Chainlink Keepers and Chainlink VRF announcement.

By integrating Chainlink Keepers and VRF, our team was able to streamline the reliability, transparency, and decentralization of core functions within NFT-based battle royales. Ultimately, this empowered us to quickly launch on mainnet and bring a whole new NFT experience to artists and collectors from around the world.
