Palo Alto, CA, September 12th, 2024, Chainwire

Super Champs Chain to Propel Growth with Upcoming Games from Developers; Already Leading the Gaming Ecosystem on Base with Two Active Games and More on the Horizon

The Super Champs Protocol Foundation is thrilled to introduce the Super Champs Chain – an innovative gaming-optimized Layer 3 that utilizes the Base blockchain from Coinbase. Powered by Joyride Games’ web3 game publishing platform and protocol, the Chain also features the BuilderKit, a suite for development, expansion, and live operations tailored for mobile studios. The Super Champs Chain is the next phase in the Foundation’s mission to create a game franchise driven by web3 community engagement, proprietary intellectual property, and mobile game development tools.

Set in an anime-inspired universe, Super Champs features superhero athletes harnessing their powers to compete in various action sports. The ecosystem has already launched two successful mobile games created by Joyride Games, Racket Rampage and Bullet League, alongside a web-based questing platform called Super Champs HQ, specifically designed for cryptocurrency enthusiasts. Since its debut in June, Super Champs has emerged as the leading gaming ecosystem on the Base blockchain, boasting over 5 million game installations, more than 125,000 daily active users on-chain, over 700,000 monthly active users on-chain, 250,000 followers on X, and over 650,000 subscribers on YouTube and TikTok. These blockchain games account for roughly 10% of the total daily users on Base, and moving to the L3 will elevate it into the Top 5 gaming blockchains based on current activity.

“The Super Champs ecosystem has experienced remarkable growth thus far, and it is set to expand further with the forthcoming launch of the $CHAMP token. Our ambition is to establish the first scalable web3 gaming franchise, fully immersing our community in multiple mobile games and a rich narrative universe,” stated Vivek Nallavelli, Director of the Super Champs Protocol Foundation. “Our upcoming goal is to enable Builders to create new, high-quality gaming experiences in the Super Champs Universe for our enthusiastic community.”

The Super Champs L3 Chain on Base is constructed on Joyride’s infrastructure for web3 mobile games. Utilizing the Arbitrum rollup stack, the Chain ensures fast and affordable transaction processing with a gas-free experience for users, making it a compelling option for studios eager to craft immersive gaming experiences. This setup offloads intricate computations from Base, horizontally scaling as a part of Joyride’s omnichain network to accommodate growing demands while retaining the security assurances of the Ethereum blockchain. The BuilderKit enhances this blockchain foundation by providing studios with advanced mobile-optimized tools for developing, growing, and managing their games.

“It’s incredible to witness the excitement that Super Champs is generating around its games and animated series on TikTok and YouTube,” commented Omar Siddiqui, Founder & CEO of Joyride Games. “As the first mobile games ecosystem utilizing our publishing platform and protocol, we eagerly anticipate the acceleration of growth for every studio creating a Super Champs game with access to top-tier infrastructure. Our long-term objective has always been for Super Champs to establish a new web3 paradigm for game franchises, and it’s exhilarating to see that vision coming to fruition.”

With the announcement of the Chain and BuilderKit, Super Champs is exploring ideas for new games from developers eager to leverage its unique IP and vibrant community to create fresh gaming experiences.

“We’re still in the early stages of realizing the true potential of web3 gaming, and no other web3-native mobile game IP has garnered early traction like Super Champs,” remarked Scott Rupp, Founding General Partner at BITKRAFT Ventures. “Today’s announcement simplifies the process for game developers to innovate within the dynamic Super Champs ecosystem, bringing us closer to decentralization and introducing web3 experiences to a broader audience.”
