The Beacon Speedrun Tournament Brings Fast-Paced Action to Ronin

A New Challenge for The Beacon Players

If you love dungeon crawling and the thrill of competition, get ready — The Beacon is kicking off its first official speedrun tournament on September 29. Running exclusively on the Ronin network, this event is designed to test player skill, speed, and consistency. With a prize pool of 10,000 $RON and exclusive in-game cosmetics, it’s shaping up to be one of the most exciting competitive moments for The Beacon community to date.

For anyone looking to combine the rush of gaming with blockchain-powered rewards, this tournament highlights why blockchain games are becoming so popular.

How the Speedrun Event Works

The competition begins with a 2-day qualifying period starting September 29 at 14:00 UTC and ending September 30 at 19:00 UTC. During this window, players with a Ronin Waypoint account can enter The Beacon’s dungeon and attempt their fastest completion runs.

Here’s what you’ll need to do to enter:

• Play The Beacon dungeon during the qualifying period.

• Post proof of your run on Twitter/X using the hashtag #RoninxThebeacon.

• Submit your run using the official event form (live from September 29).

Every valid entry earns the Silver Valkyrie’s Call, an exclusive cosmetic item. But only the top 32 fastest players will move forward into the main bracket, where bigger prizes — including the coveted Crimson Valkyrie’s Call — await.

Brackets and Prize Pool Breakdown

After qualifications, the Top 32 players advance to the playoffs, a single-elimination tournament with escalating stakes. Each stage features a unique dungeon layout, ensuring no two rounds feel the same.

Here’s the full schedule:

• Top 32 Bracket: October 1 at 14:00 UTC

• Top 16 Bracket: October 2 at 14:00 UTC

• Final Top 8: October 3 at 16:00 UTC

Match rules vary by stage. Early rounds are best-of-one, while the finals push competitors to a best-of-three format, testing endurance as much as speed.

And the rewards? Here’s the breakdown of the 10,000 $RON prize pool:

• 🥇 1st place: 2,000 $RON

• 🥈 2nd place: 1,500 $RON

• 🥉 3rd–4th place: 900 $RON each

• 🏅 5th–8th place: 475 $RON each

• 🔥 9th–16th place: 150 $RON each

• 🎖 17th–32nd place: 100 $RON each

On top of the tokens, the Crimson Valkyrie’s Call cosmetic is reserved for all playoff contenders.

How to Enter and Sign Up

Getting into the action is straightforward. To participate:

1. Set up and link a Ronin Waypoint account with The Beacon.

2. Enter the dungeon during the qualifying period (Sept 29–30).

3. Post your run on social media with the event hashtag.

4. Submit it officially through the form provided by the team.

It’s that simple. With the Silver cosmetic guaranteed for all participants, even newcomers have something to gain by giving it a shot.

The Ronin Connection

The Beacon is building a reputation as one of the most engaging titles on Ronin. Their earlier “play-to-airdrop” campaign drew over 200,000 daily active users, showing how powerful blockchain integration can be for driving player engagement.

By hosting the speedrun tournament exclusively on Ronin, The Beacon reinforces its commitment to creating high-stakes, reward-driven events that showcase the potential of blockchain-powered ecosystems.

If you’re new to the space, events like this demonstrate the growing value of blockchain games as both entertainment and digital asset ecosystems.

From Epic Games Playtests to Seasonal Content

This tournament isn’t happening in isolation. Earlier this month, The Beacon ran a public playtest via the Epic Games Store (September 4–7), which gave players hands-on experience with new features like:

• Enhanced combat systems

• Procedurally updated dungeon layouts

• Time-limited challenge runs

• New power-ups and monsters

Playtesters also had the chance to earn exclusive items like the Adventurer’s Backpack and the Seeker’s Mantle NFT through community-driven events.

With these tests complete, The Beacon is moving toward a seasonal content model, introducing fresh updates, enemies, and rewards in ongoing cycles rather than isolated tests.

What’s Next for The Beacon

Looking beyond the speedrun event, fans can anticipate the launch of Season 1 in early 2026. The first full season promises:

• New biomes and dungeons

• Multiplayer and social features

• Expanded progression systems

• Tokenized rewards and prize pools

Founding NFTs like Characters, Pets, and Writs of Passage will also receive final upgrades, giving them more utility in gameplay and unlocking exclusive quests.

Pre-season events are planned in the meantime, offering unique rewards and early content access before the official season rollout.

Why This Event Matters

The Beacon’s speedrun tournament highlights a trend in blockchain gaming: merging traditional gameplay excitement with crypto-powered incentives. It’s not just about winning $RON or cosmetics — it’s about being part of a growing community where skill, speed, and dedication translate into real value.

As October approaches, all eyes will be on the Top 32 bracket, where only one player will emerge as the ultimate dungeon speedrunner.

Whether you’re competing for the Crimson Valkyrie’s Call or just diving in for the Silver version, this is a chance to be part of The Beacon’s evolving story — and to see why the future of blockchain games is so exciting.
