Nova Wallet and BLAST are expanding their global collaboration with the return of Nova Shots. As a part of this partnership, a free-to-play, fully on-chain esports prediction game will make its way to BLAST Rivals Fall 2025, hosted at AsiaWorld-Expo, Hong Kong, from November 12 to 16.
According to the official press release, the game, powered by Polkadot and developed by Nova Wallet in partnership with BLAST, allows fans to predict Counter-Strike match outcomes in real time using 1,000 free tokens. During the event, players can compete for a $25,000 prize pool which will be distributed in stablecoins through Nova Wallet.

The initiative follows a series of collaborations between Nova Wallet and BLAST throughout 2025. Earlier this year, Nova Wallet joined as the official self-custodial wallet partner for multiple BLAST Premier events, including Rivals S1, Bounty S2, Open S2, and Rivals S2.
The partnership also featured digital integrations, arena activations, and fan-oriented content at events such as the BLAST.tv Austin Major in June and BLAST Premier Open S2 in Wembley in September.
Both Nova Wallet and BLAST say the project is about making fan experiences more interactive and accessible, without pushing people into crypto. The company also confirmed that the partnership between Nova Wallet and BLAST will continue into 2026, expanding beyond Counter-Strike into other top-tier titles.
The Hong Kong event also comes as BLAST expands its list of big-name partners. EVA Air was recently announced as the official airline partner for the BLAST Dota 2 event, which shows how more mainstream brands are getting involved in the esports scene.
