Since its launch on March 30th Wax Studios’ P2E title, Blockchain Brawlers, has reported a strong first week. According to the team, it has logged $357 million in transaction volume from players getting ensconced in the game.

The transaction volume demonstrates considerable confidence in the game and its native token – BRWL – with active players netting an average of 3,212 BRWL per day.

The game has also begun holding its next series of special auctions offering Legendary 1-of-1 NFT brawlers. Pre-launch sales of Brawler’s NFTs in auctions on WAX and Binance raised over $2.7 million, with Legendary 1-of-1 Brawlers fetching more than $25,000 each.

“We’re delighted to see how well the community has received Blockchain Brawlers. An immense amount of hard work has been poured into creating a sustainable and engaging game that truly stands out among the crowd,” said WAX Studios’ Head of Games, Michael Rubinelli.

“Combined with the inherent user-friendliness and novel features of the WAX blockchain, we’re confident that Blockchain Brawlers will continue to redefine gaming in this sector.”

A 25 year veteran of the gaming industry, and with experience with the likes of Disney, Playdom, Electronic Arts, and THQ, Rubinelli has since become a firm advocate of the innovative potential of Web3 and blockchain gaming.
