Sol Siege offers Genesis NFT whitelist to players who link EVM wallets

In Brief:

• Sol Siege (official site) is handing out whitelist spots for a Hood Siege Genesis NFT collection to players who link an EVM wallet to their game account.
• The link-up is part of the idle game’s move off Solana to Robinhood Chain, which has already taken servers offline and captured a final player snapshot.
• The Solana-side SIEGE token trades at a market cap near $4,300, and the game shipped without any NFTs at all.

Sol Siege is dangling whitelist access to a Genesis NFT collection called Hood Siege in front of players who connect an EVM wallet to their account, the project said in a post on X.

“As part of the migration to Robinhood Chain, make sure to log in to your Sol Siege account and link your EVM wallet,” the project said. Linked wallets will be used for both migration rewards and Genesis whitelist allocation.

How the wind-down ran

The team pulled Sol Siege servers offline Monday at 09:00 UTC and began taking a final player snapshot at that point.

Before the cutoff, the top 100 players received a free potion valid for one day so they could withdraw all tokens. Staked balances were credited back to players, and every staked position was unstaked. Players were told to withdraw and register EVM wallets.

The project promised a migration roadmap within two days of that announcement.

A game built without NFTs

Sol Siege is an idle auto-battle wave defender from 0xMaster Studios that runs in a browser on desktop and mobile. Players pick Warrior, Archer or Mage, then watch their character grind through waves of dungeon monsters, earning SIEGE per kill along with XP and Scrap Metal.

Combat is fully automatic. A multi-phase boss with reinforcements and enrage mechanics arrives every 10 waves, and progression climbs 22 monster tiers, from Slimes at Tier 1 to Dragons at Tier 22.

There are 1,199 unique equipment pieces spread across six rarity tiers, a Mastery system that opens at Wave 100 with 14 passive skills, a 40-tier battle pass and daily challenges. Items, weapons and armor change hands on an in-game peer-to-peer marketplace that charges a 20% fee.

Class choice carries an earnings tilt. Mage pulls 20% more SIEGE per kill, which makes it the farming pick, while Warrior carries the highest damage and HP multipliers and Archer gets the fastest attack speed plus a crit bonus.

None of that gear was ever an NFT. The game deliberately skipped them, centering on the token and on equipment that breaks down into Scrap Metal for crafting. Hood Siege would be the studio’s first collection.

The token left behind

SIEGE launched on pump.fun under contract JBxEqfH8vzyUCXmWvTesN41ccbxoaESXxuJG9LFWpump. Circulating supply is 964 million and the Solana-side market cap has collapsed to roughly $4,300, with 24-hour volume around $717.

The token is not verified on Solana’s token registry.

Where it’s headed

Robinhood Chain launched its public mainnet July 1, an Arbitrum Orbit rollup running under chain ID 4663 with block times targeting about 100 milliseconds. Robinhood Wallet supports bridging in from Solana, Ethereum and Arbitrum, and CEO Vlad Tenev published a guide for moving assets across from Solana.

The chain has drawn real NFT activity since OpenSea switched on support at launch. By July 23, seven collections had traded more than 1,500 ETH between them, including pyopyopyopyo, StonkBrokers, OnChainHoodies, Gremlin Cartel, Robinhood Punks, Cash Cats and Robbin Hood Babies. Gremlin Cartel alone approached 277.6 ETH in cumulative volume, its floor climbing from a 0.001 ETH mint to 0.018 ETH. Robbin Hood Babies cleared 59.1 ETH over the same stretch.

It isn’t frictionless. Block production stalled for somewhere between four and 14 minutes on Sept. 4, during a period when the network was clearing more than 11 million daily transactions. Robinhood said no funds were lost and no unauthorized transfers occurred. The company hadn’t published a post-mortem.

The migration meme

Sol Siege joins a migration story that started as a bit. Prediction market World posted in July that it was leaving Solana for Robinhood Chain, and the post went viral, prompting copycat announcements from pump.fun and GMTrade.

Solana’s official account weighed in July 12, saying most of those announcements were intended as jokes. World’s team later confirmed its own was one of them.
