The Ortak x B.F.T.H. Arena Awards are back this December, with Ras Al Khaimah stepping in as host for the fifth edition. Running alongside Harmony Meetup 8 with Fasttoken, the two-day event has quickly become a fixture in the iGaming calendar. This year, Ortak x B.F.T.H. Arena Awards put blockchain technology in the spotlight, showing how the industry is evolving.
The event will take place on 11-12 December 2025 in Ras Al Khaimah, UAE. First launched in 2023, the awards have grown into one of the most talked-about gatherings in the industry.
The 2025 spotlight is on Caucasus, a Layer 2 solution powered by the Bahamut blockchain. Built to process large volumes of transactions, it promises faster, more scalable performance for iGaming platforms.
Alongside Caucasus, platforms like YoWallet, YoEstate, and PercentMe will play a role. Together, they aim to equip operators and creators with the tools needed for the blockchain-driven future of gaming.
A new twist this year is that participants must build directly on the Caucasus chain. With templates and ready-made environments, developers will have the chance to push boundaries and showcase their ideas live.
Award categories cover everything from NFT collections and Bahamut-powered games to YoEstate projects and FTN casino game design. This mix highlights how broad the blockchain opportunity is for iGaming.
Some of the key awards include Best Ortak Casino NFT Collection, Best Bahamut Casino Game, and YoEstate Project of the Year. Each category is designed to highlight both creative and technical achievements.
Organisers stress the event is more than just a trophy handout. “This year’s competition is about redefining boundaries and pushing iGaming into the next era,” a spokesperson said.
Harmony Meetup 8 will run alongside the awards, featuring Fasttoken and bringing together networking, discussion, and collaboration opportunities.
Over two days, guests can expect competition, panels, and announcements focused on blockchain and gaming technology. The programme aims to show projects that could shape the industry in the near future.
