Block Trucks is a free-to-play, competitive racing experience featuring play-and-earn mechanics. Use tokens as an entry fee to compete in real-time matches or head-to-head time trial micro-tournaments, where 100% skill-based racing earns you a share of the prize pool.
The game will be available on Windows desktop and in most web browsers.
We entered our fourth alpha test in 2025, but we are now working on some big changes, including building the game and its backend from the ground up and focusing on token utility in anticipation of our token launch, and moving our core focus to head to head races and race teams.
Our token launch is expected to be announced sometime in June 2026, with the new head to head, token utilised version of the game beta expected to launch shortly afterwards.

Absolutely not!
All players start the game with a truck with zero upgrades, and will need to upgrade their truck from race winnings and upgrade cards. Race winnings can only be earned from actual racing, so upgrade progress is determined by your commitment to racing, not the size of your wallet!
No!
We run a server-authoritative physics model for racing.
The only information sent from the game client to the game server is the player’s throttle, steer and nitro input. The server validates these inputs, processes the physics calculations and synchronises the truck positions back to all game clients.
All vital information, such as truck upgrades, lap times, finish position, nitro remaining etc are only ever stored or calculated on the game server.
Our game server technology is built on EdgeGap, a container orchestration solution built on OpenMatch, Docker and Kubernetes which spawns game servers in seconds in a location closest to all the players in each race, providing low latency times for the best racing experience.
Our backend tech is built on CloudFlare Workers and CockroachDB for global scale.
You can upgrade your truck using cash virtual currency (which can only be earned from racing) and upgrade cards.
Your truck can be upgraded across nine categories…
Truck cosmetics include paints, decals, tyre sets and nitro boosts.
Player cosmetics include avatars, banners and titles which will be displayed to other players before and after races. Your avatar will also appear next to your name on any leaderboard.
Cosmetics come in common, rare, epic, legendary and limited rarities.
Cosmetics do not provide any competitive advantage while racing.
The game will support cross-platform play across the web browser and Windows desktop versions. Due to the complex legal nature of the play-and-earn token and entry fees for micro-tournaments, we are unable to release the game on the mobile app stores, however you should be able to play the game on a mobile web browser such as Chrome.
Race teams are a core part of the game, suitable for those who want to spend less time racing and more time managing a race team and still be a part of the game’s eco-system.
Race team owners will need to buy a Race Team NFT*, and invite players to join or accept applications from players looking for a team.
When team members participate in races, they earn research points (RP) for their team. RP is used to upgrade team facilities which provide in-race benefits depending on the facilitities upgrade level.
Race team members gain additional perks like weekly upgrade cards or team crates containing currency, cards or random cosmetics.
Race team owners earn a share of all tokens earned by their members in micro-tournaments.
Race teams are limited to the number of members they can have based on their facility upgrade levels, so team owners should carefully manage and reward top performing members, while dismissing inactive or low performing members.
Race team owners will be given comprehensive tooling and reporting in-game to manage their race team.
*Existing Stadium NFT Owners will receive a Race Team NFT as part of the Solana migration.
Block Trucks Multiplayer Racing is built on version 6.3 of the Unity3D engine.
The game’s token and NFTs will launch on Solana.
Block Trucks is the second racing game title developed by Meltdown Interactive Media, a limited liability company registered in New Zealand in 2013.
We released our first game, SuperTrucks Offroad Racing back in 2018, in the years since it’s release we have made several updates and released it on additional gaming platforms.
We are taking the lessons learnt from SuperTrucks (of which there were many), and putting them into Block Trucks.
A lot of time and money has been invested into the development of Block Trucks.
We are a small indie team who bootstrapped the game’s development using our own money.
We have no external funding so we can’t just simply close our doors like many other Web3 games did who ran out of funding.
We’ve taken on all the risk… we need to make this work…
Yes, we have been approached by the founder of one of Web3’s biggest games and will be launching a token on their new game funding platform. The announcement of the funding platform will be sometime in June 2026.
The token will be on Solana.
We are currently re-writing our white paper, and will provide a link to it soon.
