❓FAQ — Frequently Asked Questions
What is Parallel?
Parallel is a Web3-native card battle game and ecosystem built around NFTs. It transforms collectible cards into playable, evolving game assets, combining fast off-chain gameplay with on-chain ownership and verification.
Is Parallel a game or an ecosystem?
Both. Parallel starts as a game-first product, but is designed to expand into a broader ecosystem that supports new mechanics, integrations, and community-driven experiments over time.
Why are battles off-chain?
Battles are executed off-chain to ensure:
Fast gameplay
Low latency
Better player experience
Critical outcomes (such as ownership, progression milestones, and achievements) are verified on-chain to preserve trust and transparency.
Which blockchain does Parallel use?
Parallel anchors NFT ownership and core verification on Base, chosen for its low fees, scalability, and strong ecosystem support.
Is Parallel fully on-chain?
No. Parallel uses a hybrid architecture:
Off-chain systems for gameplay and iteration speed
On-chain systems for ownership, validation, and ecosystem-level events
This approach balances performance with decentralization.
What is the current stage of the project?
Parallel is currently in active development, progressing toward an MVP and early access release. Core systems are being built and iterated based on internal testing and early feedback.
Will Parallel have a token?
Yes, a Parallel token is planned.
However, the token launch is not the initial focus. The ecosystem and gameplay must demonstrate real usage and traction before token mechanics are introduced.
What will the token be used for?
Token utility will be aligned with actual ecosystem needs, such as:
Governance signaling
Ecosystem incentives
Contributor rewards
Exact mechanics will be defined closer to launch.
How can I participate early?
Early participation will be available through controlled access programs, testing phases, and community initiatives. Details will be shared as systems become ready.
Is Parallel open-source?
Some components may be open-sourced in the future. Initial development prioritizes stability and security before broader code exposure.
