Collaboration with major developers bring exciting launch titles from Mighty Bear, Parallel, Infinigods, and more

Today, B3.fun, a groundbreaking horizontally-scaled gaming ecosystem built on Coinbase’s L2 network, Base, debuts its Mainnet and officially launches its game discovery platform, BSMNT.fun. At launch, over 20 gaming studios have committed to deploying games on B3, including top onchain game developers Mighty Bear Games, Parallel and the Echelon Prime Ecosystem, Nifty Island, Infinigods, GameCoin, Anomaly, Wanderers, MetaStreet, DEAR by ARPA, Iskra, and more.

Developed by a distinguished team from Base, Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN), and the Ethereum community, B3's Testnet phase shattered expectations with over 367K wallets created and 47 million transactions processed in just one month. This remarkable achievement underscores B3's innovative design and robust infrastructure, setting a new standard for the gaming industry.

“The reaction to B3 has been electric and our ecosystem has obviously struck a chord,” says Saemi Kim, Director of Player1 Foundation, which oversees governance and operations of B3. “With major companies like Ubisoft, Zynga (NASDAQ:ZNGA), and Nexon incorporating onchain elements into their games to attract new players, the convergence of Web2 and Web3 gaming has been gaining momentum. Our discovery platform, BSMNT.fun, bridges the gap between traditional Web2 and Web3 gaming, transforming how players will find and experience onchain games in a way that appeals to both traditional gamers and blockchain enthusiasts. By integrating familiar gaming mechanics with blockchain technology, B3 attracts a broader audience while providing the benefits of decentralization and digital ownership.”
Parallel Studios CEO, Sascha Mojtahedi, adds: “We’re excited to be among the first developers to launch on B3. In the quest to bring billions of gamers onchain, B3’s offering for developers is unique: horizontally scaled, chain abstracted, with all the necessary infrastructure for casual games to scale and be discovered. We look forward to working alongside B3 as we evolve the Web3 space.”
With core contributions from NPC Labs and blockchain R&D firm ChainSafe, B3 prioritizes user experience and accessibility. Its chain abstraction technology, powered by Sprinter, allows developers to create games that function seamlessly across multiple chains without the associated complexities. This innovation not only enhances the gaming experience but also lowers the barriers to entry for new users.

Of their contribution to B3, ChainSafe Systems’ Chief Product Officer, Greg Markou, says: “ChainSafe has been at the forefront of web3 gaming innovation for the last three years, addressing daily hurdles faced by gamers and developers. Our collaboration with B3 leverages advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 solutions to create a scalable, user-friendly ecosystem that bridges the gap between Web2 and Web3 gaming, providing an unprecedented gaming experience.”
B3 currently supports games built on Ethereum, Base, and other EVM chains. With its proprietary and highly-scalable technology stack, B3 can easily onboard games from other chains such as Solana, TON blockchain, and others.

“At NPC Labs, our mission is to empower game developers and enhance player experiences by leveraging the unique advantages of blockchain technology,” says Sean Geng, Co-founder & CTO at NPC Labs. “Today’s launch marks a significant milestone in achieving this vision. Our contribution B3 emphasizes on seamless user experience and accessibility, addressing common industry challenges such as onboarding complexity and fragmented ecosystems. B3 not only bridges the gap between traditional and onchain gaming, but restores economic freedom for game creators and enthusiasts. We are excited to see how developers and gamers will benefit from the decentralized ownership and enhanced gameplay that B3 offers.”
