September 13 2024 - 5:15AM
Super Champs Chain will Accelerate Growth with New Games from
Builders; Super Champs already the Top Gaming Ecosystem on Base
with Two Live Games and More to Come
The Super Champs Protocol Foundation is excited to announce the
launch of the Super Champs Chain – a cutting edge
gaming optimized L3 that rolls up to the Base blockchain from
Coinbase. Built on the web3 game publishing platform and protocol
from Joyride Games, the Chain also includes the BuilderKit, a
development, growth, and live operations suite for mobile studios.
The Super Champs Chain represents the next step in the Foundation’s
vision to build a games franchise powered by web3 community,
proprietary IP, and mobile game tooling.
Super Champs is an anime-inspired universe where superhero
athletes use their powers to compete across multiple action sports.
Super Champs already has two popular mobile games built by Joyride
Games, Racket Rampage and Bullet
League, and a Super Champs HQ web-based
questing experience tailored for cryptonatives. Since launching in
June, Super Champs has become the top games ecosystem on the Base
blockchain with 5MM+ total game installs, 125k+ onchain daily
active users, 700k+ onchain monthly active users, 250k+ X
followers, and 650k+ YouTube and TikTok subscribers. These
blockchain games currently represent ~10% of all daily users on
Base, and migration to the L3 will make it a Top 5 gaming
blockchain with current activity alone.
“The Super Champs ecosystem has seen dramatic growth already,
and it is poised to grow further with the upcoming launch of the
$CHAMP token. We aim to build the first scaled web3 gaming
franchise, immersing the community in multiple mobile games and a
deep story-based universe,” said Vivek Nallavelli, Director of the
Super Champs Protocol Foundation. “Our next mission is to empower
Builders to bring new, high quality game experiences set in the
Super Champs Universe to our engaged community.”
The Super Champs L3 Chain on Base is built on Joyride’s game
publishing platform and protocol for web3 mobile games. The Chain
uses the Arbitrum rollup stack to achieve rapid and low-cost
transaction processing and a gas-free experience for consumers,
making it an attractive solution for studios to create immersive
game experiences for players. This architecture offloads complex
computations from Base, scaling horizontally as part of Joyride’s
omnichain network to handle increasing load while inheriting the
security guarantees of the Ethereum blockchain. The BuilderKit
complements this blockchain infrastructure by offering studios
building games cutting-edge mobile-optimized tools to build, grow,
and manage their games.
“It’s amazing to see Super Champs generating such excitement for
its games and animated series on TikTok and YouTube,” said Omar
Siddiqui, Founder & CEO of Joyride Games. “As the first mobile
games ecosystem built on our publishing platform and protocol, we
can’t wait to see every studio building a Super Champs game
accelerate its growth with access to world-class infrastructure.
Our long term vision has always been for Super Champs to introduce
a new web3 paradigm for game franchises, and it's thrilling to see
it come to life.”
With the announcement of the Chain and BuilderKit, Super Champs
is evaluating ideas for new games from Builders who want to take
advantage of its novel IP and thriving community to build new
games.
“We’re still in the nascent stages of understanding the true
potential of web3 gaming, and there’s no other web3 native mobile
game IP that has already generated early momentum like Super
Champs,” said Scott Rupp, Founding General Partner at BITKRAFT
Ventures. “Today’s announcement makes it easier than ever for game
developers to build in the robust Super Champs ecosystem, taking us
another step closer to decentralization and bringing web3
experiences to the mainstream.”
