The Game

No Luck.
Just Steel.

GLADIATORS is a 1-on-1 medieval melee dueling game. Two fighters step onto the sand and settle it with steel — best-of-3 duels where position, guard, and stamina decide who walks away.

Everything is unlocked from your first fight. Play Achilles, Leonidas, Spartacus, Musashi, Joan of Arc, Tigris of Gaul — 32 legends, each with their own fighting style. Arm them with any of 28 weapons: longswords, katanas, tridents, twin blades, or sword-and-shield.

Sharpen your blade against the AI, duel real players for the daily crown — or put real SOL on the line and let skill pay.

One Cut

You Own Every Frame

01 · ReadNo dice under the hood. The wind-up is real time — time you can read, and time your foe can use.
02 · CommitContact is measured on the blade itself, frame by frame. When steel looks like it lands, it lands.
03 · Follow ThroughEvery swing buys its recovery. Whiff it, and the sand remembers.
Straight From the Sand

Real Fights. Real Camera.

Six uncut duels recorded from the fighter's own over-shoulder camera — against a live opponent who blocks, counters, lands leg sweeps and fires signature moves back. What you see is what you play.

Sneak Peek

Inside the Arena

Real screenshots, straight from a live match. Fight across three battlegrounds — the Grand Colosseum with its roaring crowd, the fortress yard at dusk, and the torchlit King's Hall where the court itself watches every blow.

The House Is Alive

They Watch. They React.

Nobody fights in an empty room. The King rises from his throne for a kill. The Queen and her ladies flinch at every wound. In the Colosseum, servant girls pour wine for senators while the praetorians stand their ground — and fifty thousand voices answer every blow.

Two Ways to Fight

Practice

Fight the AI with no stakes. Learn the stances, drill your parries, and try all 32 legends against 12 different foes — or run the Gauntlet and face every one of them back to back, wounds carrying over between bouts.

PvP

Duel real players. Play casual for pride and the daily leaderboard — or step up and duel for SOL.

Casual PvP and the leaderboard are completely free. SOL wagering is optional, explained below.

Skill, Paid in Full

Duel for SOL

Want your skill to pay? Here's exactly how a wagered duel works, start to finish.

  1. Both duelists stake the same amount of SOL into a secure prize pool — you both risk equally.
  2. Stakes start around $0.20 in SOL. Host any amount above that, or accept someone else's open match from the public board.
  3. Both deposits are confirmed on the Solana blockchain before the fight — no duel begins until both stakes are locked.
  4. Win the best-of-3 and 95% of the pool is paid to your wallet automatically, on-chain.

The $GLAD Token

Roadmap

Built on the one lesson every gaming token in history teaches: rewards printed from thin air die, value earned from real play endures. Everything below is funded by the arena itself.

5%
The Burn Engine. Five percent of every SOL wager pool is collected by the platform, used to buy $GLAD on the open market, and burned forever. Every duel fought for SOL permanently shrinks the supply. More fights, fewer tokens.
Phase 0 · NowWE ARE HERE

Pre Launch

The arena comes first. We are building and polishing the game itself: 32 champions, 28 weapons, three arenas, SOL duels with automatic escrow, full controller support and mobile play. A token is only as strong as the game behind it, so the game ships before the token does.

Phase 1

Token Genesis

$GLAD launches on Solana with a fixed supply, locked liquidity and a publicly audited contract. No hidden team wallets, no stealth minting, no surprises. Safety and transparency before anything else.

Phase 2

The Burn Engine Ignites

The 5% platform fee from every SOL duel begins buying $GLAD on the open market and sending it to a dead wallet forever. Real duels create real buy pressure and permanent supply reduction, verifiable on chain by anyone at any time.

Phase 3

Wager In $GLAD

Duel directly for $GLAD stakes at a reduced platform fee. Fighters who stake in $GLAD pay less rake than fighters who stake in SOL, giving every duelist in the arena a daily reason to hold and use the token.

Phase 4

Season Rewards

Weekly arena legends earn $GLAD prizes paid from the platform treasury. Every reward is funded by real fee revenue, never by printing new tokens. Emissions killed the great gaming tokens of the past; our rewards are backed by the rake.

Phase 5

The Armory Market

Exclusive war paints, armor finishes and arena titles sold only for $GLAD, with the majority of every purchase burned. Cosmetics become a second furnace: fighters who want to look legendary permanently remove supply to do it.

Phase 6

Battle Pass Seasons

A seasonal pass purchased in $GLAD carrying cosmetic tracks, exclusive finishes and champion titles. A recurring and predictable token sink that rewards the fighters who show up every season.

Phase 7

Grand Tournaments

Bracketed championship events with entry paid in $GLAD and prize pools boosted by the treasury. The best duelists alive fighting for real stakes in front of the whole arena, with every entry feeding the economy.

Phase 8

Governance

$GLAD holders vote on new champions, new weapons, new arenas and balance changes. The community that holds the token steers the arena it fights in, following the governance model proven by the most enduring gaming tokens.

Phase 9

Creator Guild

Streamers, clip makers and community builders earn a share of the fees their audiences generate, paid in $GLAD. Growth pays the people who cause it, and every new fighter they bring strengthens the burn.

Phase 10

The Eternal Arena

The flywheel completes. Every duel burns supply, every cosmetic and pass removes tokens, every reward is revenue funded, and every expansion into ranked ladders, spectator events and new game modes adds fuel. A deflationary economy powered entirely by steel.
