**Gold Rush** is a *risk-to-earn* MMO with onchain stakes.

In Gold Rush, you compete with thousands of other adventurers to extract a fortune from the remnants of a land devastated by an unexplained disaster.  Every step outside the safe zones of the Capital City is a calculated risk to acquire **Artifacts, Curios, and Gems** - items that can be **cashed in** to Ser Althus at the **Royal Treasury** for <mark style="color:$success;">**Silver**</mark> and <mark style="color:red;">**Royal Favor**</mark>.

Your ability to navigate a deep ingame economy backed by a ever-growing prize pool of ETH will determine how much of the spoils you walk away with.
