LadderCaster is a mobile-first, ladder-ranking strategy game and NFT player-to-player market built on Solana. Players will earn their way through thirty levels across a dynamic boardscape with an unlimited number of SpellCasters and race their way to the top. LadderCaster’s economy is player-owned, where users truly have all the power to seamlessly buy, sell, or trade any resources or assets earned through playing. At its core, LadderCaster combines elements of classic board games, market and ranking features inspired by some of the best online games, and blockchain and NFT technologies. The result is a unique blockchain gaming experience that will greatly reward skill and thoughtful planning. At the beginning of every season, all players will be on a level playing-field at the bottom of the board and must employ learned strategies to reach the top in the most efficient way possible — all while effectively utilizing and gathering in-game assets in the form of NFTs and fungible tokens.

LadderCaster will have a fully integrated player-to-player marketplace where all transferable NFT assets in the game can be bought or sold. Resources and LADA are fungible tokens, which will be tradable on Serum.

Ladder Token (LADA) is an SPL (Solana-based) utility and governance token that powers the LadderCaster game and ecosystem. LADA can be earned every turn by burning resources and is used to buy spellcasters. LADA has been designed to serve three primary functions: 

• To reward players for interacting with the LadderCaster game and community. 
• To serve as a main economic stabilizer for the ecosystem, contributing to the “burn-and-earn” mechanics of the game. 
• To truly decentralize the ownership and governance of LadderCaster.
