Super Champs Chain Set to Propel Growth with New Games from Creators; Super Champs Ranks as the Leading Gaming Ecosystem on Base with Two Active Games and More in the Pipeline

The Super Champs Protocol Foundation is thrilled to unveil the launch of the Super Champs Chain – a state-of-the-art gaming-optimized L3 that integrates with the Base blockchain by Coinbase. Developed on the web3 game publishing platform and framework from Joyride Games, the Chain also incorporates the BuilderKit, a suite for development, growth, and live operations specifically designed for mobile studios. The Super Champs Chain embodies the next phase in the Foundation’s ambition to create a gaming franchise fueled by a web3 community, proprietary IP, and mobile game development tools.

Super Champs is an anime-themed universe where superhero athletes harness their abilities to compete in a variety of action sports. Currently, Super Champs features two widely popular mobile games developed by Joyride Games, Racket Rampage and Bullet League, along with a Super Champs HQ web-based questing platform tailored for cryptonatives. Since its launch in June, Super Champs has emerged as the premier gaming ecosystem on the Base blockchain, boasting over 5 million total game installs, more than 125,000 on-chain daily active users, over 700,000 on-chain monthly active users, more than 250,000 X followers, and over 650,000 subscribers on YouTube and TikTok. These blockchain games currently account for around 10% of all daily users on Base, and the transition to the L3 will position it among the Top 5 gaming blockchains based solely on current activity.

“The Super Champs ecosystem has already witnessed remarkable growth, and with the impending launch of the $CHAMP token, it is well-positioned for further expansion. We aspire to create the first large-scale web3 gaming franchise, fully immersing the community in multiple mobile games and an extensive story-driven universe,” stated Vivek Nallavelli, Director of the Super Champs Protocol Foundation. “Our next goal is to enable Builders to introduce new, high-quality gaming experiences set within the Super Champs Universe to our engaged community.”

The Super Champs L3 Chain on Base utilizes Joyride’s publishing framework for web3 mobile games. The Chain employs the Arbitrum rollup architecture to ensure fast and affordable transaction processing, as well as a gas-free environment for users, making it a compelling option for studios aiming to develop engaging game experiences. This architecture alleviates complex computations from Base, enabling horizontal scaling as part of Joyride’s omnichain network to accommodate increasing demand while ensuring the security provided by the Ethereum blockchain. The BuilderKit complements this blockchain framework by supplying studios with innovative mobile-optimized tools to build, expand, and manage their games.

“It’s fantastic to witness Super Champs generating such enthusiasm for its games and animated series on TikTok and YouTube,” remarked Omar Siddiqui, Founder & CEO of Joyride Games. “As the inaugural mobile games ecosystem established on our publishing platform and protocol, we are eager to see every studio creating a Super Champs game advance its growth through access to top-tier infrastructure. Our long-term vision has always been for Super Champs to unveil a new web3 paradigm for game franchises, and it’s exhilarating to see it materialize.”

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

“We are still in the early stages of fully grasping the potential of web3 gaming, and there is no other web3-native mobile game IP that has gained early traction like Super Champs,” commented Scott Rupp, Founding General Partner at BITKRAFT Ventures. “Today’s announcement simplifies the process for game developers to build within the robust Super Champs ecosystem, bringing us closer to decentralization and making web3 experiences more mainstream.”
