The Game

Built to be the next great competitive shooter.

Project Vanta is a two-faction battle royale and TDM shooter built in Unreal Engine 5 — AEGIS and ВОЛГА at war across the zone. Gunplay first, economy second. No pay-to-win. Skill wins fights; every match pays out $VANTA.

01

Sub-Tick Gunplay

128-tick servers with sub-tick hit registration — every shot resolves at the exact moment you click. One-taps land. No excuses.

02

Paid to Play

Kills, placement, and faction wins pay out $VANTA every match — skill-weighted and server-verified. Play well, earn more.

03

Utility & Map Control

Smokes, flashes, breach charges, recon drones. Zone pushes and last-circle holds are won in the setup — utility lineups are a skill ceiling of their own.

04

Ruthless Anti-Cheat

Server-authoritative everything, ML-driven detection, and hardware bans. Staked rounds demand integrity — cheaters forfeit their stake.

Faction Royale

24 PLAYERS · BR

The core discipline. AEGIS and ВОЛГА squads drop into a collapsing zone — last squad standing takes the pot for their faction.

Staked Entry

Team Deathmatch

FACTION VS FACTION

Fast respawns, first faction to the kill target. Every kill pays $VANTA — the grind mode that funds your royale stakes.

Earn Per Kill

Arms Race

FFA · RESPAWN

Fast respawns, ladder of 20 weapons, first to a knife kill wins. Free to queue — the warm-up lobby before staked queues.

The War

Two factions. One warzone.

Enlistment locks you to a side for the season. Every match you win moves your faction's front line — and the winning faction each season splits a protocol-funded war chest on top of personal earnings.

AEGIS

Doctrine // Precision · Tech · Control

Western coalition contractors. Superior optics, drone recon, and surgical strike doctrine — AEGIS wins by seeing you first and never missing twice.

  • Recon drone & UAV support kit
  • Suppressed precision weapon lines
  • Faction perk: intel pings on damage

ВОЛГА

Doctrine // Attrition · Armor · Overwhelm

Eastern bloc war machine. Hardened plates, artillery calls, and human-wave pushes — ВОЛГА doesn't outshoot you, it outlasts you and rolls through.

  • Heavy armor & suppression weapon lines
  • Artillery & smoke barrage support
  • Faction perk: damage resist in the zone

The Arsenal

Master the spray.

Recoil is a pattern, not a dice roll. Every weapon has a fixed spray signature to learn, a role in the buy, and a finish economy — skins from Standard to Protocol grade, every one a tradeable on-chain asset.

Combat Zones

Learn the angles.

Three combat sectors declassified for Season Zero — TDM arenas carved out of the full royale warzone. Every map is built for competitive integrity first — fixed spawns, readable sightlines, and callouts your team will be screaming by round three.

The Earn Protocol

Play well. Get paid.

A skill-weighted economy, not a faucet. $VANTA enters the game only through performance — kills, placement, and faction victories — and leaves it through crafting, entry stakes, and burns. Sinks are designed to outpace emissions.

Rotating faction supply crates
Supply Drop // War crates pay out every match
01 / DEPLOY

Stake the drop

Queue casual for free, or stake $VANTA on royale drops with multiplied payouts.

02 / EXTRACT

Win the round

Clear objectives, take the vault, reach the extract. Skill-weighted scoring rates every action.

03 / EARN

Collect rewards

Payouts in $VANTA plus gear drops — every item a tradeable asset you actually own.

04 / REINVEST

Craft & stake

Burn tokens to craft, stake for season passes and yield, or trade on the open market.

Match Payouts

Rewards scale with placement, kills, and objective play — audited server-side so bots and smurfs can't farm the pool.

Player-Owned Market

Weapons, skins, and blueprints are on-chain assets. Trade peer-to-peer; a slice of every sale is burned forever.

Staking & Governance

Stake $VANTA for season passes, revenue share from marketplace fees, and votes on maps, modes, and emission rates.

$VANTA Token

Tokenomics

One fixed-supply token powering entry stakes, crafting, the marketplace, and governance. No inflation, no hidden mints — emissions come only from the pre-allocated rewards pool, released across five seasons.

UTILITY

Stake to Play

Staked drops and ranked wagers are denominated in $VANTA. Winner takes the pot, protocol takes a fee, the fee burns.

UTILITY

Craft & Upgrade

Every craft, reroll, and upgrade consumes tokens permanently — a sink that scales directly with how much people play.

UTILITY

Govern the Protocol

Staked holders vote on emission curves, new arena funding, and esports prize pools through the Vanta council.

Team & advisor tokens vest over 36 months with a 12-month cliff. Private-round tokens vest over 24 months with a 6-month cliff. Rewards emissions are released per season and governed by protocol vote. Nothing on this page is financial advice; token details are subject to audit and final documentation.

Founders Program

Deploy day one.

Limited founder allocations open with the beta. Every pack carries beta access, exclusive cosmetics that never return, and early priority in the token launch. Pricing locks at TGE.

Field Manual

Questions, answered.

Is Project Vanta pay-to-win?

No. Weapons perform identically regardless of finish. Nothing purchasable affects damage, recoil, movement, or hit registration. The economy trades in cosmetics, access, and stakes — never in power. Losing the aim duel with a Protocol-grade skin still means losing.

When can I play?

Closed beta waves begin Q4 2026 for waitlist members, with founder packs granting earlier waves. Open beta targets H1 2027 alongside the full extraction loop. Join the waitlist below — invites go out in signup order within each wave.

How do match payouts actually work?

Two sources: staked pots and seasonal emissions. In staked Faction Royale queues both sides stake entry and the winning squad splits the pot minus a protocol fee, which is burned. Seasonal emissions pay kills, placement, and faction victories from the pre-allocated rewards pool — server-authoritative scoring, no client trust.

Do I need to buy tokens to play?

No. Casual queues and Arms Race are free forever, and you can earn your first $VANTA through free-entry contracts. Staked modes are opt-in for players who want real skin in the game.

Which blockchain is $VANTA on?

Announced with the token generation event, after our smart-contract audit completes. Requirements driving the decision: sub-cent transaction fees, proven marketplace infrastructure, and custody options that let non-crypto players onboard with just an email.

What's the anti-cheat story?

Kernel-level client protection, server-authoritative simulation, ML-driven behavior detection, and hardware bans. Because ranked entry is staked, cheating carries direct financial loss — confirmed cheaters forfeit their stake and banked seasonal rewards.
