I just had a brief chat with @ b3dotfun a few days ago, and then I went straight to Bithumb. Congratulations to all the bosses who got on the bus, a wave of snacks! But the introduction a few days ago was a bit too simple, here we will use a long article to explain it in detail. Let's sneak in together 👇 GameFi is a track in Web3 that has been repeatedly criticized and replayed. We have seen too many short-lived GameFi projects: economic collapse, rough gameplay, and just a rudimentary Ponzi scheme with layers of game skins. When GameFi first emerged, everyone was talking about "play to earn", and blockchain games seemed like the best outlet for implementing encrypted applications. But a few years have passed, and we haven't received any chain games that can retain players for a long time, instead we have high-resolution skin packs for thousands of on chain farms. Project rebranding, user churn, and asset zeroing leave behind countless game cemeteries with high FDV and low DAU. I think there are two simple reasons: one ️⃣ The game is not fun: Under the same opportunity cost, we do not expect to gain higher profits from a blockchain game. However, as a game, if we lose the characteristic of "fun", we will lack a comparative advantage compared to other Defi projects. two ️⃣ The environment is too enclosed If a game makes a mistake, such as not being fun or having poor economic returns, the economic model of the entire chain game loses its value. No platform can circulate a single token in different games, allowing players to reuse their identity and assets in different games. I noticed something on the Base chain that looks different - it's not just a simple blockchain game, it's building a "blockchain universe" specifically designed for gaming. @b3dotfun ， Layer 3 execution layer tailored for "game first" from the Coinbase OG team, with a focus on "Gamechain": each game has a chain and an independent economic system, but all use B3 to unify liquidity. This design is the first time I have seen it in blockchain games. This design is somewhat similar to the Steam platform in the traditional gaming industry, which does not produce games but provides an on chain port for numerous games. There are several highlights that really attract me: one ️⃣ There are really excellent games online The first Gamechain is the Prime Chain developed by Parallel, a name that Web3 card enthusiasts should know. It is a project invested by Coinbase and Paradigm. Several other Gamechains are queuing up to go online, with partners including Atari, Jam City, India's largest mobile game manufacturer, and others. two ️⃣ Economic Design of B3 B3 is a hard currency in all games on this platform, while TGE only released 19%, with the remaining one-year lock up and three-year linear release. The token has currently been launched on CEX platforms such as Coinbase, Kraken, Bybit, Bithumb, etc. three ️⃣ Traditional gaming level player experience B3 has created a unified entrance for all GameChains called http://basement.fun ， You can play by logging in with Twitter or email, without the need for a wallet or understanding of blockchain operations. The backend will automatically help you connect to the blockchain. Throughout the process, you may not even notice the existence of blockchain, which is like the future 'gateway to blockchain gaming'. four ️⃣ On chain data According to Basescan data, there are currently over 2 million B3 coin holders, the most on the Base chain. The active wallet on the entire platform exceeds 6 million, far higher than most GameFi projects. five ️⃣ Not just a platform, but an engine B3's ambition is not just to become a Steam gaming platform, but also to become a Unity/Unreal game creation tool Backed by the support of Base+Coinbase technology, using B3 as an economic incentive to accelerate game on chain. According to the project roadmap, B3 will also launch an IGO (Initial Game Offering) platform in the future: The IGO platform supports B3 holders to pledge their B3 to support game projects they believe have potential. Game project parties will use this funding to develop games. If the game is successfully launched, early supporters will receive returns in the form of native game tokens. Latest progress: At the AMA held on Monday, B3 announced multiple update plans, including: one ️⃣ In addition to the original APY rewards, staking B3 can also participate in lucky draws, with prizes including BTC and Milady NFT two ️⃣ Invest in a US gaming hardware company to develop an exclusive Web3 gaming computer with built-in cold wallet and airdrop rewards three ️⃣ XP 2.0 officially returns: Community interaction can earn points and redeem airdrop rewards four ️⃣ Collaboration with some well-known Web2 giants is also underway Dev is cooking. There is indeed considerable room for imagination in building an on chain Steam+Unreal that is currently under construction.
