In 2021, an incredible number of crypto games were released that use the “play-to-earn” model, which rewards players for their time and effort. These games, commonly referred to as GameFi, have recently experienced an explosion in popularity due to their attractive business model. The recently released Mines of Dalarnia is the latest addition to the set of crypto games where you can earn money.
In this guide, we will explain what Mines of Dalarnia is, how the game works, DAR tokens, and the full release date of the game.
What is Mines of Dalarnia about?
Mines of Dalarnia is a free-to-play 2D adventure game running on the Chromia blockchain. The gameplay involves guiding a character through procedurally generated levels to collect rare relics and artifacts that can be used to upgrade your equipment and uncover the secrets of Dalarnia. Combining dungeon crawling, exploration, crafting, and combat, Mines of Dalarnia offers a fresh take on the 2D sandbox genre, but on the blockchain.
As the name suggests, mining is a huge part of the gameplay. Players extract resources in different areas, uncover secrets, and collect materials to upgrade their mining equipment and character attributes.
Developed by Workinman Interactive and Chromia Studios, the game allows players to explore a variety of regions divided into four main types: Ice, Darkness, Lava, and Terra. In addition to mining minerals and resources, players must also battle monsters to obtain rare and valuable items and advance through the game.
Mines of Dalarnia is the first 2D game with procedurally generated levels developed on the blockchain. Like many GameFi projects, much of its appeal lies in its “play-to-earn” model, which allows players to receive a share of the dividends generated from game development. Other crypto games that use a similar “play-to-earn” structure that have been released or are in development include: Illuvium (ILV), My Neighbor Alice (ALICE), and Axie Infinity (AXS). Genopets (GEN), tentatively scheduled for release in 2021, uses a similar template where players actually earn tokens by engaging in physical activity using a new “move-to-earn” platform.
A recent teaser for Mines of Dalarnia 2.0 has the crypto gaming community feeling optimistic about the game’s future. It is reported that more than 100,000 users are interacting with the test network, and more than 4 million transactions have been confirmed on the chain so far. Mines of Dalarnia has proven to be an interesting game for both casual users and hardcore gamers.
How do the mines of Dalarnia work?
Mines of Dalarnia is a browser game, which means that anyone can access the game directly from their browser without having to download anything.
The world of Dalarnia has many minerals and resources hidden underground, waiting to be discovered by brave miners. The types of resources hidden beneath each region vary depending on the type of terrain.
All mines contain enemies that players must fight. Enemies become stronger as you progress through the game and delve deeper into the world of Dalarnia. Enemy types vary depending on the region, so players must learn to adapt to enemies with specific attacks and properties.
In addition to mining, players have the opportunity to become landowners by purchasing blockchain real estate plots. Developers plan to hold regular sales of land plots in different areas. Players who become landowners are responsible for the growth of the economy and can receive various rewards, including rent from miners, distribution of minerals, distribution of tokens, and more.
What is DAR?
Mines of Dalarnia has its own DAR token, which is the default currency of the world of Dalarnia. The token was launched in November 2021 as part of the Binance Smart Chain and is available on various cryptocurrency exchanges.

The total supply of DAR is limited to 800,000,000 DAR. As of December 2021, 123.2 million DAR (15.4% of the maximum number of tokens) were already in circulation. Another 24 million DAR (3% of the maximum supply) were allocated for Launchpool rewards.
What is DAR used for?
As the native token of Shakh Dalarniya, DAR has the following functions.
In-game currency and game rewards to earn
DAR is the default in-game currency. It can be used to purchase assets on the in-game market and to pay transaction fees.
Resources in the game range from basic to exotic, depending on the region from which they are obtained. Basic minerals can be used for simple equipment upgrades. More exotic resources, as well as rare relics and artifacts, can be used to upgrade equipment and enhance the storyline.
To play the game, players must first purchase a starter pack, which includes oxygen supplies and a basic pickaxe. Different terrains require different types of equipment to sustain players’ lives, so players must use resources to upgrade their equipment and develop mining strategies if they want to progress in the game. New items can also be crafted from minerals collected during mining.
Since Mines of Dalarnia is a play-to-earn game, players can also earn tokens in several ways: by completing in-game quests, inviting friends to the game, or winning competitions to earn DAR tokens. In addition, landowners can earn commissions by leasing their property to miners for exploration.
All items, relics, and artifacts found in the game are represented by non-fungible tokens (NFTs) that can be traded on open markets. Players have the option to trade or sell items they don’t need on the in-game marketplace. Those who don’t have the patience to find certain resources can use the marketplace to buy or rent items needed to progress in the game.
