Tl;DR
- Free Risen Heroes NFT mint grants immediate Valannia gameplay access.
- Phased minting prioritizes existing NFT holders and partner communities.
- Upcoming $VALAN token launch introduces new ecosystem economic variable.
Valannia will release a free drop of 6,000 “Risen Heroes” NFTs on November 4, 2025 at 15:00 ET / 19:00 UTC via the Magic Eden launchpad. The event grants immediate playable access to the Valannia ecosystem and comes ahead of the $VALAN token rollout planned for late November, information relevant for collectors, digital asset traders and institutional treasuries.
The collection comprises 6,000 upgradable heroes operating on the Solana chain that function as access keys to interconnected titles: Valannia Realms (web strategic MMO), Valannia Arena (MOBA/RTS hybrid in Unreal Engine 5) and Valannia World (MMORPG in development), according to Valannia’s official communication. This positions the NFTs as gateways to multiple game experiences within the same universe.
The community reports more than 5,000 active wallets and over 20,000 NFTs already in circulation, figures that indicate an engaged user base prior to the new drop and suggest a foundation of existing participation.
The mint will be conducted in phases
A first phase guaranteed for holders of OG Hero, Valannium Ring and Valannia Scroll (1 mint per asset with no total limit); a second phase guaranteed for holders of Beyond Hero (1 for every 6 Beyond Heroes), the top 100 of the Shadow Veil ranking and partner communities (1 mint per eligible wallet); and a public phase allowing up to five mints per wallet. Magic Eden serves as the exclusive platform for the drop, with a fee model reported as 0% on listings and 2% on transactions, according to the project’s dossier.
Technical note: “mint” is the process of creating and recording an NFT on the blockchain, that is, the first on-chain issuance of the digital asset.
Implications
The evolution mechanic—Shattered → Soul → Risen—adds direct utility, as each state determines access to worlds, level caps and mastery of professions within Valannia. These NFTs function as instruments of operational access rather than merely collectibles, tying progression and gameplay to tokenized assets.
For traders and treasuries, a free mint with prioritized phases can heighten short-term volatility and secondary-market resale pressure. Prioritizing existing holders may reduce initial public supply and concentrate liquidity among already committed users, shaping early market dynamics.
The concurrent late-November launch of the $VALAN token on indie.fun introduces an internal macroeconomic variable; issuance, burning and revenue distribution to the DAO and landholders are factors that can affect perceived scarcity and price behavior across the ecosystem.
Key points
- 6,000 Risen Heroes: free mint on November 4, 2025.
- Access phases: privileges for prior holders and public limit of 5 mints/wallet.
- On-chain evolution: Shattered → Soul → Risen, with impact on utility.
- $VALAN: utility/governance token scheduled for late November.
The next operational milestone is the $VALAN token launch on indie.fun in late November 2025; its rollout will be key to valuing the internal economy and the sustainability of flows between players, the DAO and holders.
