The first Bitcoin game
ever imagined.
Finally real.
In 2010, a group of Bitcoiners on a public forum dreamed up a world where quests, resources, and reward economies ran on BTC. They laid the idea down — and never built it. We finished what they started.

Campfire Q&A
Around the lantern.
Is this really the 2010 idea?+
Yes. The original concept — Play2Earn on Bitcoin — was discussed publicly on a Bitcoin forum in 2010. It was never built. We built it.
How do I actually earn BTC?+
Mine Bitcoin ore in-game. Progress is verified on-chain. Verified progress converts into real BTC reward claims.
What's $ABG vs Diamond Hands?+
$ABG is the native token of the game economy. Diamond Hands is the soft in-game currency earned only through play.
Do I need crypto to start?+
No. You can enter Copper Well, gather, and craft right away. A wallet is only needed to claim rewards.
