Overview

What is Punch Protocol?

Punch Protocol is an onchain strategic fighting game built on the Base Network, where players compete for real crypto stakes in skill-driven, onchain battles.

Unlike traditional fighting games that rely on reflexes, Punch Protocol rewards strategy, prediction, and mind games. Players pre-submit their moves — attacks and defenses — blindly. Once recorded on-chain, these decisions are permanent and irreversible. There's no randomness. No luck. Just pure tactical gameplay. Master battle mechanics

Combat follows simple, intuitive rules: each battle unfolds across multiple rounds. In every round, you choose where to attack — Head, Torso, or Legs — while defending against incoming strikes. Though the system is easy to learn, layered mechanics add depth:

  • Counterattacks trigger when you block two strikes in a row
  • Combos reward three consecutive successful hits
  • Target bonuses boost damage by +20% for each consecutive hit on the same body part, up to a +100% max
  • Fighters have unique classes, each with distinct abilities, stats, and combo potential

Victory comes either by KO (reducing your opponent's HP to zero) or by outscoring them in total damage and clean hits by the end of the fight.

Punch Protocol merges classic fighting game mechanics with the transparency and finality of blockchain. It's not just a game — it's a test of foresight, discipline, and creative strategy.
