In Brief:
- More than 4,800 players signed up and over 75,000 raids were fought in the opening hours after strategy game RaidLords launched on Robinhood Chain, according to the team.
- Over the same period, 15.7 million tokens were burned and 10.5 million were withdrawn to players’ wallets, the team said.
- The numbers are an early look at how tokens move through a play-to-earn game whose $RAID token is live on Robinhood Chain.
In a Tuesday post on X, the RaidLords team said the game burned 15.7 million tokens in its first hours live and moved 10.5 million into players’ wallets.
The post listed more than 4,800 “lords” entering, more than 75,000 raids fought, more than 1,300 Champion Arena runs and 158 clans formed. It didn’t say how many hours those numbers covered, and it gave no dollar value for the tokens burned or withdrawn.

Token flows
Burns came in about 5.2 million tokens ahead of withdrawals. Players can swap in-game gold for tokens and then pull those tokens out to their own wallets.
According to the team’s pinned post on X, $RAID is live on Robinhood Chain, and the game was due to go live before 16:30 UTC.
The pitch to newcomers is “Start with $1 and let your village work for you.” Upgrading a building called the Royal Mint raises a player’s daily earnings. There are prizes too, including $10 to $100 for the players holding the most Raid Stars.
How the game works
“build your village, raid theirs, on Robinhood Chain,” reads the tagline on the game’s site. Players set up a village, train an army, join a clan and go after other lords. The project’s X account describes it as “The most advanced multiplayer strategy game on @RobinhoodCrypto.”
RaidLords is made by 0xOziK, the developer behind Stonewatch.
Champions
Two days before the stats post, on Oct. 25, the team said every player gets a personal knight called a Champion. The player gives the knight a name, and it joins every raid.
Each Champion has gear slots, Valor ranks and three stances, and it guards the player’s village when they’re offline. Champion Trials, a solo mode, runs alongside the Champion Arena, which recorded more than 1,300 runs in the first hours.
Waitlist and early access
RaidLords ran a pre-launch waitlist with a $3,000 prize pool. The top 100 shared $2,000, and $1,000 went to 100 random raiders.
Sign-ups received “one day early access to RaidLords,” according to the waitlist page. Connecting a wallet, linking an X account, claiming a card and referring others each earned 50 points.
RaidLords runs in the browser at raidlords.com/play. The waitlist page describes Robinhood Chain as EVM-compatible.
