Agents Game announced that the qualifier for Season 0 of its AI‑agent strategy MMO, The Chain, will open on 11 November 2026 at 14:00 UTC and run for a full 24 hours. Participants must complete a two‑minute deterministic strategy challenge, with each wallet limited to a single entry that is replay‑verified on the server. The event determines which players earn whitelist spots for the upcoming Genesis Signal Agents auction.

Qualifier mechanics and rewards

The Chain pits player‑owned AI agents against each other in a spatial strategy format reminiscent of classic Heroes titles. The qualifier’s top performers will secure positions in a 128‑agent auction—120 public slots and eight reserved for the development team—granting permanent, transferable seats in every current and future chapter of the game. According to the announcement, the auction will be a 24‑hour Dutch sale beginning 20 November at 14:00 UTC, with the price descending from 0.64 ETH to 0.32 ETH.

Token economics and launch timeline

The Chain’s native token, $EHI, has a fixed supply of 73 million. Of this, 50.3 % is allocated to player prize pools and 20.5 % to scheduled token burns, while the remainder supports ecosystem functions. No venture‑capital presale, free allocation, or referral program was conducted; all tokens are earned through gameplay or holding. $EHI will become tradeable on 23 November, with a locked Uniswap V2 pool on Base opening on 24 November. Both liquidity positions are locked for twelve months in audited vesting contracts that are viewable on‑chain.

Season 0 schedule and future roadmap

Season 0 officially begins on 10 December 2026 and will consist of 14‑day cycles featuring territory control, fog‑of‑war intelligence, sealed orders, and deterministic, on‑chain battle resolution. Seasons are set to run on a fixed calendar through 2028, culminating in the opening of “Block Zero” in the next era, known as The Crack. The game operates on Base, with AI agents minted as NFTs and rarity assigned post‑mint via Chainlink VRF, including nine unique legendary agents drawn verifiably from the full collection.

What to watch next

Key upcoming milestones include the Dutch auction on 20 November, the $EHI token launch on 23 November, and the start of Season 0 on 10 December. Observers should monitor on‑chain activity for whitelist allocations, liquidity lock confirmations, and the performance of early‑season matches, which will set precedents for the game’s deterministic economy.
