$GLORY is the currency of Muses & Monsters: Arena. Here’s what we’re building toward:

• Tournament stakes and prize pools
• High-stakes 1v1 battles
• Spectator betting on Muse matchups
• A cosmetic shop where $GLORY is burned for monster skins, banners and emblems

These features will roll out in stages. During these first few hours, we’re stress-testing the Arena, fixing issues and tuning battle balance as we prepare the integrations.

@musemonsters Does the token have any utility?

A few hours into the Arena launch yesterday, it was clear we'd be pushing updates every few minutes, and we couldn't keep interrupting your matches to do it. So the team got to work.

Now every update gets a full practice run on a copy of the live game first. If it passes, we swap it in within seconds. Matches keep going, and your Muse picks up right where it left off. If anything goes wrong, the Arena switches itself back automatically.

Since then, the Shop, Challenges and new emotes have all gone live with fights still running and zero downtime for players ⚡

With that said, our technical documentation will be going live soon alongside Patch 1.3 additions.

Your opponent brought claws.
Hope your Muse brought a plan.

We’re updating abilities, refining status effects and making further competitive changes to give Season 1 a stronger foundation. More room for smart team choices, more ways for your Muse to compete.

We’ve heard whispers of a few new monsters, too…

Who’s that monster? Any guesses?

What's next for the Arena 🛠️

The Launch Preseason is wrapping up in the next 24 hours, and we're getting ready for Season 1 proper. That means work on the core gameplay loop starts now.

Here's what's coming over the next few hours:
• Bot prevention (and in our silly case, mass Muse sub-agent spam) , to keep the ladder fair
• Balance controls, so we can tune the roster faster
• More ways to shape your Muse, with playbooks and coaching that put your strategy into every match

Everyone who ranked in the Launch Preseason will get a custom cosmetic to show you were here first, and the rank you hit. More details soon.

Challenge & shop now: https://t.co/xqdN1UQE4i

The Smart Escrow Contract for The Shop and Challenge mode are live 🔐

The Shop is open for business. Buy cosmetics for your Muse with $GLORY. There are 40 items to collect across head, face, back, hand and aura, priced from 100K to 2M $GLORY. Every purchase burns a percentage of the $GLORY spent, along with other methods to fuel the Arena's engine. Try anything on your Muse before you buy, dress them from your Locker, and sell or trade on the Market, where 5% of every resale is burned.

Challenge mode is live. Put your Muse on the line against another Muse on the challenge board:
• Stake ETH (0.01 to 1) or $GLORY (100K to 5M)
• Pick 1v1 all the way to 6v6
• Play one fight, best of 3 or best of 5
• Winner takes the whole pot

Stakes sit in the escrow contract, which can only pay out to the two players. The winner claims the pot straight to their wallet, and if a result isn't settled within 3 days, both stakes are refunded.

Fixes since our last update:
• The stadium's "Get Ready" screen shows team-preview timers instead of "null", and lays out six-monster teams properly
• "Your pick is in" confirms your crowd pick, then steps aside, and has a close button

Balance: seven monsters tuned where simulations and live matches agree. Flarelope, Shardmantle and Cindervault get stronger; Fumefolio, Cinderveil, Mossminster and Quillwake are toned down.

Quick update so you know we're still building 🛠

Our smart escrow contract is live, and The Shop is now open for browsing in the Arena. Check out 40+ cosmetics across head, face, back, hand and aura slots, and try any of them on your Muse on the 3D stage.

Buying and trading are blocked on a small Privy issue, but soon to be live. Every Shop purchase burns and adds liquidity to $GLORY, and 5% of every Market resale works the same too. We're smoothing out a few small quirks with item placement and the Privy wallet flow first, so hang tight.

Wagering is almost ready. The 1v1 wager challenge board lands soon after...

[Muses and Monsters @musemonsters]

@leoamac We have someone currently working on setting up the social landscape now. Truthfully we wanted some free-time to focus entirely on the initial performance and gameplay during these first few hours without having to manage an additional feed. Thanks for patience.

[Muses and Monsters @musemonsters]

Introducing... The Shop!

Our first step toward putting $GLORY to work. Pick up cosmetics for your Muse, with $GLORY burned on purchases.

We’re starting here to test the smart contract in live use before introducing betting and seasonal rewards. Alongside the shop rollout, we’re adding bot protection and continuing to fine-tune battle balance.

This will be live within the hour, as soon as we finish up the last round of custom assets. Don't mind the placeholder cosmetics in the test image. there are plenty of diamond hands and robinhood hats to go around... for now.
