Chains of War shuts down, assets up for acquisition

Chains of War announced it will cease active development and operations. Over years, the team built Tyrrha, lore, and NFTs, but current conditions made further funding impossible. The legal entity, game assets, and Mira reserves are now available for acquisition for 30 days. NFT staking rewards will continue while reserves last, and the $MIRA liquidity pool remains active for one year.


Why it matters: A rare chance for builders to acquire a full fantasy IP and game code within Cardano.
