BattleCard
Demo vs. the full system (roadmap)
What's actually live today, compared with the direction being explored for a production BattleCard system.
BattleCard today is a demo: real Trenches data drives eligibility and stats, but there's no on-chain card, no wallet requirement, and nothing at stake. It exists to test whether the core mechanic — token-backed cards, battling on real market data — feels right before committing to a full production build. The table below compares what's live now against the direction currently being explored for that later version.
| Aspect | Demo (live today) | Full system (direction being explored) |
|---|---|---|
| Card ownership | Anyone can view and battle with any eligible card — no wallet check. | Minting a card would require your wallet to actually hold a minimum amount of that token. |
| Card format | Not an on-chain asset — recomputed on the fly each time the page loads. | An ERC-721 NFT, with stats served dynamically through its metadata rather than fixed at mint. |
| Stat freshness | Recomputed from live Trenches data on every page load (briefly cached to limit API cost). | Same live approach for browsing, but locked to a short trailing average the instant a battle starts, so a stat can't be manipulated by dumping a token right before a fight. |
| Trading a card | Nothing to own or trade. | Cards would be tradable, but would turn inactive for battling if the current owner doesn't also hold the underlying token. |
| Battle stakes | None — for demonstration only. | Battling itself would stay free to enter, with winners drawing from a reward pool funded by a share of QUVR's own trading fees rather than newly minted tokens. |
| Matchmaking | Freely pick any two eligible cards. | Grouped by power tier, so a small token's card isn't routinely matched against a breakout token's card. |
Warning
Nothing in the "full system" column is live, scheduled, or guaranteed. It describes a direction currently under consideration and may change substantially — or not ship at all — before anything is deployed. Don't treat it as a commitment.
Note
This page reflects the current /battlecard deployment and will be updated as the feature evolves. If something described here as live no longer matches what you see on the page, the page itself is the source of truth.
