MechaFightClub

MechaFightClub is a play-to-earn (P2E) multiplayer video game in which players battle each other with unique, blockchain-backed fighters. It is the first game from blockchain video game company Irreverent Labs, a blockchain game company from Voodoo PC founder Rahul Sood. MechaFightClub allows players to purchase mechabot fighters tied to a Non-Fungible Token (NFT) and use the blockchain to verify the uniqueness of each fighter. Players own the characters they buy in the game and are able to resell them for a profit, once they have leveled up.

MechaFightClub takes place in a dystopian 2065, in a world ravaged by abandoned extraterrestrial mechabots. The mechabots were once used to enslave humanity, but are now used for entertainment after a massive uprising overthrew the government. Now, the chicken-like mechabots battle each other in The Cocktagon, a massive fighting arena. Mechabots start life as an egg before launching into a fighting bionic creature.

Only 41,000 Genesis mechabots will ever be minted in MechaFightClub, with 6,969 mechabots becoming available in the game's first drop. MechaFightClub is slated to be released Spring 2022.

Irreverent Labs has raised $5 million over one funding round to build MechaFightClub. The seed round was announced on November 15, 2021, and featured participation from investors Andreesen Horowitz (a16z), The Chainsmokers' Mantis VC, Keen Crypto, Unlock Venture Partners and Advancit Capital. The round gave Irreverent Labs a pre-money valuation of $25 million.
