Access to ZK Arcade is gated by the ZK Arcade Ticket NFT. You must mint the NFT on the Zk Arcade website to play. Connect your wallet to check eligibility, mint the NFT, deposit ETH to pay for proof verification, and start playing!

If you have been whitelisted, you can mint your NFT on the ZK Arcade website. If you aren't eligible, follow our official channels (X, blog, telegram channel), and join our Discord community to stay updated on when the next wave of access becomes available.

The ZK Arcade Ticket NFT is free. You only have to pay gas for the minting transaction.

Playing games on ZK Arcade is free! However, you have to deposit some ETH into Aligned (recommended 0.001 ETH) to submit proofs for verification. You will also need to pay a small separate gas fee for the transaction to claim points on the leaderboard (around $1, and you can set a lower priority fee in your wallet to save gas).

New challenges are released every Monday and Friday at 00:00 UTC. You have an additional 48-hour window to claim points after a level expires.

If your claim fails, or you see an unusually high estimated fee on your wallet, use the Reset action in the claim modal. This will discard the previously generated proof so you can play again and start over.

You can reach us on our official channels: X, Discord, Telegram, and our blog.
