OpenSea War Riders partnership
War Riders[1], a new crypto virtual game à la Mad Max, will be running a pre-order campaign for its war vehicles in collaboration with blockchain-based assets and crypto-collectibles marketplace OpenSea[2].
Developed by Cartified[3], a VC-backed blockchain startup headquartered in Washington DC, War Riders is a virtual game that lets players customize their war vehicles which may be used to mine while attacking other users for the in-game currency, Benzene (BZN). Players can mine for BZN by driving through waypoints or shamelessly raiding other players.
BZN will not be offered for sale. Instead, all vehicles will come with a tank filled to the top with BZN. All additional BZN will be discoverable in the Wasteland.
Players will be able to use BZN to buy weapons, and upgrade garages, as well as exchange these for cryptocurrencies such as ether, bitcoin, and more.
The game is scheduled to be released in beta later this year with a full release scheduled for early 2019.

OpenSea users will have exclusive access to War Riders’ Deadly Car Factory smart contract, which will allow them to pre-order vehicles through the popular crypto-collectibles peer-to-peer marketplace.
“Together with OpenSea we’ve developed an interesting technology that allows us to seamlessly integrate two websites and connect them to the same smart contract system,” said Vlad Kartashov, CEO of War Riders.
“We’ve always believed in the native integration, and we think the marketplaces could be a great platform to organize the initial sale of in-game items.”
The pre-order campaign for war vehicles will run simultaneously on both War Riders and OpenSea websites, and the Ethereum blockchain. It will start on August 20 and is scheduled to last for two months, starting in a private mode with mandatory prior
