BLOCKLORDS Players Can Still Claim LRDS

For players who spent months building kingdoms, managing heroes, or collecting assets in BLOCKLORDS, the project's sudden transformation into BLOCKLORE does not mean everything has disappeared. An LRDS loyalty airdrop remains available to eligible accounts, giving former players a chance to claim tokens based on their history with the medieval strategy MMO.

The airdrop is particularly interesting because LRDS is no longer tied exclusively to the game that originally gave it purpose. Instead, the token has become part of BLOCKLORE, the studio's new AI-powered creative platform.

For anyone following blockchain games, this is a fascinating example of how a Web3 gaming project can evolve when its original game reaches the end of its road.

Who Can Claim the LRDS Airdrop?

The loyalty distribution is designed around participation rather than simply buying tokens. Players who interacted with BLOCKLORDS may have an allocation waiting for them.

Eligibility is connected to several types of activity, including:

• Playing BLOCKLORDS

• Spending money inside the game

• Holding BLOCKLORDS assets

• Participating in the game's broader ecosystem

Each qualifying account has its own allocation. That means players who never purchased LRDS through an exchange can potentially have tokens waiting for them.

This approach also fits the project's earlier community distribution strategy. BLOCKLORDS previously distributed 300,000 LRDS to players through an airdrop based on in-game participation.

How to Claim LRDS

The claiming process takes place through the LORDCHAIN portal. Players need to access their account and connect an Ethereum wallet before they can finalize the allocation.

The process can be broken down into three basic steps:

1. Sign in to the relevant BLOCKLORDS account.

2. Connect an Ethereum wallet through the profile page.

3. Select and confirm the available LRDS allocation.

Once claimed, the tokens do not necessarily have to remain idle in a wallet. Users can lock their LRDS through the Node Reward Program, potentially receiving additional rewards for committing their tokens.

It is worth making sure that players use the official LORDCHAIN portal and carefully verify wallet transactions before signing anything.

LRDS Has a New Purpose

The biggest twist in this story is that LRDS now powers something very different from the original game.

On August 6, 2026, MetaKing Studios announced that it was closing BLOCKLORDS and shifting its focus toward BLOCKLORE, an AI creative platform. The medieval strategy MMO had only arrived on Steam on March 31, 2026, making the transition roughly four months after its Steam release.

The studio described the move as a transformation rather than simply an ending. BLOCKLORDS became BLOCKLORE, with the new project focusing on AI-assisted media creation.

That gives the LRDS airdrop an interesting second chapter. Instead of being purely a souvenir from a discontinued game, the token is now positioned as part of the ecosystem surrounding the studio's next project.

What Is BLOCKLORE?

BLOCKLORE is described as a node-based collaborative AI generative canvas. Rather than controlling a medieval hero or expanding a kingdom, users can connect ideas, assets, AI models, and storyboards together on an executable canvas.

The system revolves around different node types that can be connected to create increasingly complex media.

For example, a creator could separate a scene into:

• A character or subject

• An environment

• An artistic aesthetic

• Additional effects or creative instructions

Those elements can then be connected while maintaining consistency between generations.

BLOCKLORE also includes an integrated video editor, allowing users to combine generated content into finished projects. Features include multi-track editing, frame-accurate trimming, global output settings, and one-click exporting.

Templates are another part of the experience, with examples covering product commercials, character turnarounds, and aerial motion control.

What Exactly Is LRDS?

LRDS was originally launched on Ethereum with a maximum supply of 100 million tokens. The supply is distributed according to a ten-year vesting structure.

Its allocation includes:

• 36% for community and ecosystem development

• 31% for investors

• 10% for marketing

• 10% for advisors

• 10% for a foundation reserve

• 3% for liquidity

An additional 3 million tokens were specifically earmarked for GameDrops directed toward players.

Originally, LRDS had several functions inside the BLOCKLORDS ecosystem. It could be used for gameplay rewards, purchasing influence connected to in-game items, and participating in community governance.

Locking tokens could also provide influence rewards and unlock access to the LORDCHAIN Node Reward Program, seasonal packs, and exclusive content.

LORDCHAIN Remains Important

Behind the ecosystem sits LORDCHAIN, a Layer 3 network built on Base for the BLOCKLORDS universe.

The network was designed to handle on-chain activity associated with the project, including game-related actions and AI agent activity. It also provides the infrastructure used for the current LRDS claiming process.

Its staking system revolves around the Master Validator, which launched in December 2024.

Users can lock LRDS for different periods, with the maximum lock duration reaching four years. In return, participants can receive several types of benefits.

These include:

• LRDS staking rewards

• veLRDS governance power

• Eligibility for selected ecosystem airdrops

• Potential exclusive NFTs and other items

Longer commitments can provide greater access to certain rewards, giving the system a stronger incentive for users who are willing to hold LRDS over an extended period.

Remembering BLOCKLORDS

Before its transition, BLOCKLORDS had spent years developing its medieval strategy MMO. Work on the project began in 2018, and the game evolved through browser and client-based versions before reaching Steam.

Its gameplay focused on persistent progression rather than short matches. Players built heroes and lineages, managed resources, controlled territory, and participated in large-scale conflicts.

Importantly, player-owned assets were designed to have value across seasons rather than simply disappearing when a season ended.

That structure made the community particularly important to the project's economy. Players who invested time, money, or assets into the world were not just conventional customers; they were participants in a broader Web3 ecosystem.

A New Chapter for Former Players

The end of BLOCKLORDS is undoubtedly a major change for its community. However, the LRDS loyalty airdrop gives former players a way to carry some of their participation forward.

For eligible accounts, the allocation is already connected to the account's history. Players can claim their tokens through LORDCHAIN and decide whether to hold them, use available staking options, or explore what LRDS becomes as BLOCKLORE develops.

The bigger lesson is one that frequently appears across blockchain gaming: digital assets and community participation can potentially survive even when the original game changes direction.

BLOCKLORDS may have reached its end as a medieval MMO, but LRDS now has another destination. Whether BLOCKLORE can turn that unexpected transition into a successful new ecosystem will be one of the more interesting Web3 gaming stories to watch.
