Solana Sea

§ 01 The Sea

Every captain sails the same ocean. You will see their sails on the horizon — and their name above them.

Solana Sea is a shared-ocean pirate MMO in your browser. One 8,000-league sea. Server-authoritative combat. Broadsides that fire sideways, so position decides the fight. Six ports. Named elites. Crews. A bounty board. A day-night cycle over open water.

You can Connect Phantom and keep your captain on any device, or Play Free as a guest. No purchase. No wallet required. The beta is live at solanaseas.com/play.

§ 02 The Risk

Most games let you keep what you earn. This one makes you sail it home first.

Fill your hold with $PIRATE. It is not yours until it is in the vault. Sink, and the hold spills as loot at the wreck — for whoever finds it. Bank it at port, refit at the shipwright, and go back out greedier than you should.

That distance is the game. Near Tortuga the water is safe. Further out, the Navy thickens, skeleton galleons hunt, and other captains can take what you were too proud to bank.

§ 03 The Fight

Cannons fire sideways. If you chase bow-on, you are volunteering to die.

Steer with A and D. Sails with W and S. Space for broadsides. Abilities on 1–6: Volley, Chain Shot, Brace, Ram, Smoke, Grape. Crits. Burning hulls. A chase camera behind the bow so the world turns with the helm.

Ranks run Deckhand to Sea Legend. Five vault-priced refits at the shipwright. At port, press E and walk the quay — Bank, Shipwright, Bounty Board, Crew Hall — then board your ship and go back out.

§ 04 Hulls

Everyone starts on a Commissioned Sloop. The ocean does not care what you paid.

The free hull is enough to plunder, bank, fight, and rise. Cutters, Brigantines, and Frigates commission at the shipwright. Ships-of-the-Line are crafted. Named Hulls are earned — one hundred, ever. The top of the ladder is not for sale.

Paint, sigil, and ship name show on the water. A hull that doesn't read at range is just a spreadsheet. Stat spread from free sloop to a fully-fitted Named Hull is capped — skill still decides the fight.

§ 05 Blood Water

Sink in Home Waters and you lose the hold. Cross the red ring and you wager the hull.

Blood Water is a line on the sea you confirm before you cross. Plunder triples. Foundered hulls can be boarded. A twelve-hour cooldown after a capture. No one loses a ship they did not knowingly wager.

§ 06 Named Hulls

The Founder's Fleet is not a shop. It is the ships you will know by silhouette.

Five example hulls are on the water now — art, not a mint. Not for sale. When ships go on-chain, the official collection will be posted on this site only. Anything else is a scam.

The Blackbrine Widow's Wake Salt Requiem The Gravewind The Lion's Debt

The Blackbrine is Captain NiggaBeard's Named Hull — last of the golden age, black sails, skull ensign. The others are a cutter, a brigantine, a cursed galleon, and a captured first-rate. See them all on the fleet page.

§ 07 $PIRATE

The token is $PIRATE. The plunder in your hold is not the token. Do not confuse them.

In the beta, $PIRATE in your hold is a score on our server. It has no monetary value. It cannot be withdrawn. Balances may be reset before full release. Sinking a galleon does not mint anything that trades outside the game.

The official contract is posted on solanaseas.com — only there. Any other CA in a DM, bio, or group chat is a scam.

§ 08 Live now · Coming

The beta is a game. Launch is ownership of what you already sail.

§ 09 Take the helm

The sea is already running. The only way to understand it is to sail it.

Read the Compendium if you want the full captain's guide. Watch the Board for wanted captains and Blood Water claims. Then pick a name and go.
