Providence unveils F8 Genesis NFT with exclusive player perks

The blockchain gaming world is buzzing as Dynasty Studios gears up to release its very first Providence NFT, known as F8 Genesis. Set to mint on October 22, this collection marks the beginning of a new era for the upcoming survival shooter Providence, a game that blends high-stakes action with evolving digital ownership.

Only 777 NFTs will be available — and the best part? It’s a free mint on Ethereum. With exclusive access, rewards, and in-game perks attached, the F8 Genesis collection is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated blockchain game NFT drops of the season.

A Phased Mint with Limited Supply

Dynasty Studios has structured the mint to roll out in several stages, making participation both exciting and competitive.

The schedule kicks off with the OG Drop on October 22 at 9:00 PM GMT+8, followed by a First Come, First Served (FCFS) phase at midnight. The final public mint runs from 1:00 AM to 3:00 AM GMT+8 on October 23, wrapping up the release. Each wallet can claim only one NFT, keeping things fair — at least for those quick enough to click.

Currently, wallet eligibility hasn’t been finalized. So, players checking the OpenSea mint page may still appear “ineligible.” The team has assured that a separate announcement will confirm when eligible wallets are uploaded.

Given the free mint and extremely limited supply, the final public phase could turn into a lightning-fast event where bots and eager collectors alike compete for the remaining F8 Genesis NFTs.

From Avalanche to Ethereum

Originally, F8 Genesis was planned for the Avalanche blockchain, but the studio made a last-minute pivot to Ethereum.

According to Dynasty Studios, the switch followed an internal review that identified Ethereum as a better fit for the collection’s long-term goals. Importantly, this doesn’t mean Providence itself will move chains. The studio clarified that the game will remain on its current network, and any future blockchain updates will be announced separately.

This strategic move signals Dynasty’s confidence in Ethereum’s liquidity, visibility, and robust NFT infrastructure — all critical for a high-profile debut like this.

What Makes F8 Genesis Unique

The F8 Genesis NFT isn’t just another static collectible. Instead, it’s an evolving digital asset that mirrors each player’s journey through Providence. As players explore, fight, and achieve milestones, their NFT will evolve to reflect these actions — creating a personalized, living record of gameplay.

Holders can also stake their NFTs to earn points, unlocking future rewards and deeper in-game advantages. The more NFTs you stake, the more you stand to gain.

Perks include:

• Early access to new content and builds

• Entry into exclusive tournaments

• Invitations to IRL events and meetups

• Priority participation in token-based events and ecosystem activities

This dynamic approach ties blockchain ownership directly to player progression, adding a layer of authenticity and value to every onchain action.

Exclusive Access and In-Game Benefits

One of the biggest draws of F8 Genesis is the in-game access it provides. NFT holders will get a front-row seat to early playtests, new builds, and community testing phases long before the general public.

Dynasty Studios is also preparing holder-only tournaments, complete with prize pools and unique in-game rewards. The first of these competitive events is expected to be announced soon — and for those who prefer real-world experiences, offline tournaments and studio meetups are also in the works.

By linking NFT ownership to both digital and real-world engagement, Dynasty is fostering a community-first ecosystem that rewards dedication and participation.

Inside Providence: Survival on a Loop

Set in a sci-fi universe, Providence introduces players as Trailblazers exploring unstable alien zones called Slipworlds. These environments are procedurally generated and collapse after each expedition, forcing players to extract resources and survive against time — and sometimes, against each other.

The game blends survival gameplay, roguelite mechanics, and PvPvE combat. Players can choose to go solo or team up, making every expedition a mix of strategy, risk, and reward.

Dynasty Studios describes the gameplay loop as “Survival on a Loop” — explore, extract, survive, repeat. With every run, Slipworlds change, introducing new creatures, layouts, and challenges, keeping each session fresh and unpredictable.

Blockchain Integration and Player Ownership

Providence is designed as a fully onchain experience, where every item — weapons, resources, and blueprints — is player-owned. This means the game’s economy isn’t controlled by the developers but by the players themselves, who can craft, refine, and trade assets in a real player-driven market.

This model ensures that progress and achievements carry long-term value, aligning perfectly with the philosophy behind blockchain games — where effort, time, and skill translate into real digital ownership.

Dynasty Studios: The Team Behind the Vision

Dynasty Studios isn’t new to ambitious projects. The team includes veterans from Logic Artists, the creators of Expeditions: Rome. They’ve spent the last four years building Providence from the ground up, focusing on gameplay depth and polish.

Currently, the game is available in limited testing via invite-only access on the Providence Discord, with a broader early access release planned on the Epic Games Store in late 2025. The initial launch will be on Windows PC, with console versions expected later.

F8 Genesis Marks the Beginning

F8 Genesis isn’t just an NFT drop — it’s the first gateway into Providence’s expanding universe. As the inaugural collection tied directly to gameplay, it offers a blend of utility, access, and evolving identity that few other projects can match.

With only 777 NFTs available and a free mint, this release is likely to sell out almost instantly. Players looking to grab a piece of Providence’s future should keep an eye on the OpenSea collection page and be ready when the public window opens.

For those who miss out, there’s still plenty ahead. Dynasty’s roadmap suggests that F8 Genesis is only the first step in what could become one of the most compelling ecosystems in blockchain gaming.
