// what is BLOCK_LAB

BLOCK_LAB is a proof-of-work NFT game on Robinhood Chain. Every block is mined in your browser - your CPU or GPU solves a hash puzzle, and the block's pixel art is rendered on chain from what it was mined with.

Holders raise colonies with a King who sets the rules, and colonies stake their blocks in wars. The colony with more power is more likely to win; the losers' blocks burn and the winners take what they held.

No download and no sign-up: a wallet and a browser are enough to mine a block, browse every block or enter the war.

BLOCK_LAB in one minute

Mine a block: it is an NFT with a wallet of its own. Raise a colony as its King, or join one. Pick the blocks you risk in a war. A win lands inside the winning blocks; a loss burns the blocks you staked.

  1. 1
    Connect a wallet

    Your personal wallet signs and pays entries. Every block you mine gets a wallet of its own.

    Open the dashboard
  2. 2
    Mine your first block

    Your browser hunts for a hash; the block is minted to you with a kind, a tier and a power.

    Mine
  3. 3
    Look at the block

    Its power and tier decide what it can join; its own wallet holds the $LAB the rules ask for.

    See your blocks
  4. 4
    Raise a colony, or join one

    A King needs a block that carries the crown stake in $LAB. A member needs a block above the colony's minimum power.

    Find or create a colony
  5. 5
    Prepare the block you will stake

    Send $LAB into the block's own wallet; war rules require it. Nothing goes to your personal wallet.

    Fund a block
  6. 6
    Pick the blocks you risk

    In the war lobby, choose card by card. Staked blocks can burn; unstaked ones are safe.
