Valannia

Valannia is a medieval fantasy massively multiplayer online strategy game built on the Solana blockchain and Unreal Engine 5, designed to merge traditional MMO depth with a player-owned on-chain economy. Founded in April 2023 and led by CEO Gerónimo R Martorelli and CTO Federico Santos Sobre, it is structured as a multi-title gaming platform that introduces players to progressively deeper gameplay through staged product releases.

Core Products

Valannia operates across three distinct products at different stages of development.

Shadow Veil is the project's on-ramp and community engagement layer. Players connect a Solana wallet and complete daily quests to accumulate Runes — off-chain reputation points convertible into $VALAN tokens or NFT whitelist access. It lets participants engage with the ecosystem before the full game client launches.

Valannia Realms is the live browser-based MMO offering, featuring open-world gameplay across three zones with escalating risk and reward. The Green Zone is a social hub for trading, crafting, and construction. The Yellow Zone opens up PvP encounters and resource gathering outside the capital. The Red Zone is the high-stakes frontier where players can lose NFTs permanently upon death — but also access the highest rewards. Within Realms, players pursue professions such as explorer, merchant, blacksmith, tavernkeeper, and bard; build castles; join guilds; manage land plots; and participate in territorial warfare. The March–May 2026 "Grand Assembly VI" updates expanded Realms substantially, introducing the Reforged Era, a mounts system, land staking, and the Law of the Abyss.

Valannia Arena is a PvP-focused mode blending MOBA and real-time strategy mechanics into 1v1 and 2v2 matches where players command heroes and armies. It is available in preview form on the Epic Games Store and serves as an accessible entry point for competitive players. A full-scale Unreal Engine 5 MMO client — working title Valannia World — is planned as the long-term flagship product, targeting a multi-year development horizon from the 2023 founding.

World Design and Races

The game world features eight playable races, each with distinct lore, abilities, and gameplay strengths: Humanos (blacksmithing and strategy), Feyrune (forest creatures skilled in jewel crafting), Lerathi (reptilian sorcerers), Altari (avian hunters), Zan'thar (telekinetic beings), Tyxen (engineering-focused, deception-oriented), Glorb (barbarian battle-worshippers), and Pirith (nature and necromancy specialists). Race choice shapes both roleplay identity and competitive specialization across combat, economy, and political standing.

Economy and the $VALAN Token

Valannia runs a dual-currency economy. Valannium Gold is the primary in-game medium of exchange, earned through gameplay and used for crafting, repairs, and upgrades. The $VALAN token is the on-chain utility and governance asset minted on Solana.

$VALAN launched on November 25, 2025 through Indie.fun. The token generation event (TGE) raised approximately 1,200 SOL — around $166,800 at the time — within 20 hours, setting a record for the fastest fundraising on that platform. The TGE ran in three phases: a VIP round (10% bonus tokens), a whitelist round (5% bonus), and a public round.

Total supply is 1 billion VALAN. Key allocation categories include rewards and emissions (36%), growth and ecosystem (20%), an Eternal Treasury vault (10%), founders and team (9%), private sale (9.2%), marketing (7%), public sale (3.2%), liquidity (3%), and advisors (2.6%). The model is deflationary: 20% of all $VALAN spent in-game is permanently burned, with the remaining portion distributed to the DAO (4%), team (4%), and land holders (2%), while the rest recycles into reward pools.

Land ownership is a central economic mechanism. Plots in Eldorath — the virtual capital — and surrounding areas are sold in tiered rarities; Valannium Ring holders received priority access ahead of public sales. Land is priced in USDC with a discount available for $VALAN payment, and landholders receive a share of ongoing token burns, tying in-game activity to passive returns.

As of mid-2026, $VALAN trades at approximately $0.0006 with a market cap below $1 million — a significant decline from its all-time high near $0.006 reached the day after launch.

NFT Collections and Prior Fundraising

Before the TGE, Valannia raised over $2 million through two NFT collections: Valannium Rings and Origin Heroes. More than 20,000 NFTs have been sold across 5,000+ active wallets. Rings grant holders exclusive early access to land sales and Arena play; Origin Heroes represent playable characters that form the foundation of the Hero system. A free "Risen Heroes" mint was offered on Magic Eden in October 2025, expanding access to the NFT ecosystem.

Security

CertiK has issued a security score of 3.1 out of 10 for Valannia. No detailed public audit report was located during research. This rating is materially below typical industry benchmarks and represents a meaningful risk factor for prospective participants.

Ecosystem Position

Valannia sits in the Solana gaming segment, leveraging the chain's low transaction fees and throughput for in-game economies and NFT trading. Its phased release model — Shadow Veil as community layer, Realms as the live browser MMO, Arena as the competitive PvP product, and World as the long-term full client — reflects a strategy of generating early community and revenue through NFT and token events while the primary product matures. The Epic Games Store listing for Valannia Arena reflects ambitions beyond the native crypto audience. Active blog updates through May 2026 confirm ongoing development.
