Bravo Ready, a game studio based in Montreal, has acquired Honeyland, a popular blockchain strategy game on Solana. This acquisition adds a well-known game, with over 300,000 registered users, to Bravo Ready’s portfolio, helping the company expand its Web3 gaming offerings on the READY! Platform.
Honeyland, developed by Hexagon Studios, allows players to manage bee colonies, harvest honey, breed bees, and engage in battles with other players. The game uses its own token, $HXD, and has seen impressive engagement, with a peak of 25,000 daily players. It has secured $4 million in funding, resulting in a valuation of $20 million.
With the addition of Honeyland, Bravo Ready expands its game lineup, which already includes BR1: Infinite Royale and Bonk Arena. All of Bravo’s games operate under a pay-to-play model, allowing players to pay for access and earn cryptocurrency rewards by completing missions or winning battles. This acquisition diversifies Bravo’s game selection by adding strategy and resource management elements.
Founded in 2011, Bravo Ready gained traction in 2022 with BR1: Infinite Royale, a third-person shooter on Solana that requires players to pay to enter matches and earn rewards by eliminating opponents.
Bravo’s success relies on its READY! platform, which supports Solana and USDC payments, NFT rentals, loot boxes, account linking across web2 and web3, cheat detection, and asset management tools.
Backed by $3 million in funding from Solana Ventures, Shima Capital, and 6th Man Ventures, Bravo Ready aims to be a leading technology provider in the realm of real-money Web3 gaming.
Before acquiring Honeyland, Bravo’s ecosystem included:
- BR1: Infinite Royale – A competitive shooter featuring NFT rentals and a kill-to-earn system.
- Bonk Arena – A casual shooter that utilizes the BONK token, following a spawn-to-earn model.
- Mini Arena (Aptos Arena) – Created in collaboration with Aptos Labs, this game offers simple yet competitive gameplay.
The addition of Honeyland broadens Bravo’s range of game genres, including mobile strategy and farming, all within its real-money system.
In Honeyland, players collect resources, breed bees, battle, and manage land. The game features two types of NFTs—Queens and Bees—that provide gameplay advantages. It operates using $HXD, which supports in-game upgrades, staking, and events, with a total supply of 1 billion tokens.
To ensure long-term sustainability, Honeyland’s economy incorporates token burning mechanisms, staking rewards, and emission limits. It has undergone contract audits and includes robust wallet protections. Players can trade NFTs on Magic Eden and swap tokens through Solflare.
Earlier this year, Bravo and Honeyland collaborated on a promotion rewarding players with 750 $READY tokens for participating in in-game events, showcasing the partnership between the two platforms.
This acquisition adds more than just a new game; it supports Bravo Ready’s long-term goal of being a leader in real-money gaming within the Web3 space. Each new title on the READY! platform introduces fresh players and features, demonstrating the flexibility of Bravo’s real-money gaming strategy across various genres.
With Honeyland now part of its family, Bravo Ready is making another significant step toward making blockchain games as engaging and accessible as popular mobile and PC games.
