Short description

Stellarch is a deterministic trading-card game on Hive where a seeded-RNG battle replays byte-identically, every time, and a smart deck beats a deep wallet.
Stellarch is a deterministic trading-card game on Hive: draft a seven-card team of Fighters across eight affinities, then watch a seeded-RNG battle replay byte-identically, every time.

Full description

Stellarch is a deterministic trading-card game built on the Hive blockchain. You draft a seven-card team, six Fighters and one commander, across eight elemental affinities, then a seeded-RNG combat engine resolves the battle. Fifteen alien races, 250+ cards, and 84 rulesets give every match a different shape.

Three things set Stellarch apart. First, it is provably fair: every battle is deterministic, so the same teams and ruleset always produce the same result, and any match replays byte-identically from its seed. You do not have to trust the fairness, you can verify it yourself with one shareable link. Second, you actually own your cards. They are on-chain assets on Hive: keep them, build around them, or trade them on a real player-driven market. Third, a smart deck beats a deep wallet. No card is a guaranteed win, balance rewards drafting and reading your opponent, and a modest collection can compete. Fair, not free: every win is earned at the table, not bought at the store.

Stellarch's closed alpha is live at stellarch.io. Self-signup is currently open, and a free in-game account gets you drafting without an external wallet.

  • Draft a 7-card team, six Fighters and one commander, across 8 affinities and 15 alien races.
  • 84 rulesets reshape the battlefield, so no two matches play the same.
  • A seeded-RNG combat engine: identical teams and seed always produce an identical, shareable replay.
  • Fair, not free: no card is a guaranteed win, and a sharp small collection can outrank a wallet that bought one of everything.
  • Cards are yours on Hive: keep them, trade them, rent them, delegate them, or list them on the market.
  • A ranked ladder with league-scaled rewards, from bronze to champion.
  • Play with a free in-game account; an external wallet is optional, never required to start.
  • Hand-painted, kinetic card art across every affinity.

Awards and press

None yet, by design. Stellarch is in closed alpha and there is no coverage to quote. This section stays empty until real coverage lands, at which point a genuine quote plus a link goes here. No paraphrased or manufactured quotes, ever.

Web3

Stellarch runs on Hive and Hive Engine. Three tokens do three different jobs. SGC is the tradeable in-game currency, product-backed at a guaranteed $0.001-per-SGC store-redemption floor. STEL is the governance and staking token. KRED is untradeable store credit, the fair fiat onramp, and it spends exactly like SGC everywhere in the game except the card market.

Cards are on-chain Hive assets. Players can hold them, trade them, rent them, delegate them, or list them on an ask-side market with a buy-side bid order book.

Getting started needs no wallet: a free in-game Hive account covers login, and Hive Keychain is an optional upgrade, never a requirement. No cards are minted to your account at signup; you draft from a shared pool and play right away.

Every match is provably fair. Combat resolves from a single seed, so the same teams and ruleset always produce the same result, and any match replays byte-identically. That is not a claim to trust, it is a claim to check: pick a replay link from this page and verify it yourself.
