fundamentals are key going forward. b3’s long-term revenue comes from a mix: cross-ecosystem revenue share (30% flow model), infra fees on gamechains, fees from 1st party apps, and marquee games we publish that break into the web2 market the model rewards everyone: players for playing, devs for building, and b3 community members for supporting it

we believe in collaboration over competition so I think just like tradfi incumbents, big gaming companies will move slow - experimenting with tooling and stablecoins, things that are distant from the game itself. b3 can help here: we’ve built a ton of tools and in parallel, we'll launch tokenized games and ecosystems. over time, they’ll naturally become the publishers of these games, just like mobile and so we can partner across tech and content / games

avalanche kicked it off with subnets and polygon followed with gaming chains, but b3 on base takes a step further by solving for economic interoperability our onchain affiliate model lets 30% of rewards flow from game chain a to b when players spend, and the ux is seamless across chains - no more stranded funds or isolated games re why Base, it's b/c base is where the liquidity lives, and b3 is the scaling layer for users and nfts and so we feel that it's very synergistic. Base supports on liquidity while we grow users

100% - I think for my mom and nephew, crypto gaming has to feel just like regular gaming. we’ve made design decisions around super simple UX: guest wallets and gasless onboarding so they don’t have to think about wallets, guest mode so they can jump right in, fiat onramps so they can pay like they do on the app store and sseamless cross-chain experiences so it all feels like one app, one chain for users, it’s really about the games, think candy crush, genshin impact, and roblox (which my nephew plays). fun, sticky, and rewarding. we measure success by tracking how many new users create wallets after playing in guest mode, how many come from non-crypto backgrounds, and how many retain

we saw PMF with gamers that play and earn. 6+ million wallets in just 1 year shows there’s real demand for what we’re building: gasless onboarding, casual but sticky games, and the chance to play before committing to wallets. it’s that mix of super simple UX and real value that’s pulling players in. these users aren’t your typical crypto degen - they’re coming from web2 games, from social, from mobile for developers, we’re solving real pain points. we’re prioritizing easy game-native compatibility tooling - think unity and unreal SDKs, and less than 4 weeks to spin up game-chains. we’re making sure gas sponsorships are easy to implement, adding fiat and crypto onramps and designing the infra so devs can focus on building fun games

the core problem isn’t just tech interoperability - that’s gonna get handled by frameworks like OP Stack eventually. what we’re really solving for is economic interoperability. in web2, you’ve got affiliate marketing: if someone refers a user to a platform, they get a cut. we’re doing the same thing, but for onchain gaming if a player moves from infinigods chain to parallel chain and spends, every valid transaction is tracked and infinigods gets a revenue share. it’s affiliate marketing, but native to the chain. this is the missing piece that makes ecosystems work together instead of staying siloed on islands we’re flipping the old gaming economy on its head. instead of walled gardens like ios or steam vs epic, we’re building bridges. so when players cross over and spend, everyone wins. and players get more choices too

we saw big gaming (web2) struggling with stagnant revenue year after year and poor performance from their new AAA titles like Assassins Creed and so we knew the industry required a new approach. base was a great home but to onboard millions of users would be too expensive and so we knew we needed to build this gaming layer scale not just technologically but also to build a new community an ecosystem that provides user liquidity and financial support to help game devs build the next minecraft and we also saw firsthand so many talented game devs with great ideas but big gaming companies like ea or activision wont take the risk to back them. but with, b3 we have crypto tech and token incentives to help them launch their games and bring them to market

great question the gaming sector is still early so we look at it as a portfolio of bets - some may fail but others will be massive wins it’s akin to an incubator model across products and gaming titles the biggest wins will deliver outsized returns for the community and in some ways, betting on $b3 is like betting on an index of all these themes: products from discovery tools to onramps to ai arenas to gamechains games from across all genres mmo rpgs shooters casual and more

absolutely - we've supported many early stage game devs on Basement.fun. I think some of the best games are built by small teams and they just need a bit of marketing and financial support to spread to the masses

thank you for the question! I covered some of this above but to add on, we want to onboard half the world that plays games and to do that we need the best games thats why we partner with top gaming studios - I provided a brief overview in the posts above in terms of web3, we also have the largest token holder base on base (2M+ token holders) and so we're getting great penetration in the web3 side but will focus on more product features like staking to expand the community even further

lots of developments in progress! basement 2.0 will bring back XP so you can earn and play and it will have an updated ux that is more friendly to the non-crypto user in terms of tooling, sean’s team is also building a new crypto onramp called anyspend so game developers can easily deposit and withdraw fiat and crypto, making it easy to onramp with any fiat or crypto currency and use it in their games!

the vision of game chains is to be interoperable both from an economic and technical pov so as a user you can easily move across different chains without needing to switch networks or bridge funds and, yes b3 plans to be a publisher and strategically acquire or partner with projects that add growth for the ecosystem but we would want these titles to be very large and profitable so that they bring new users into web3 gaming

yes! you'll see more collaboration with top fortune 500 consumer brands who want to partner with crypto-native teams to build gaming experiences onchain and gamify the loyalty experience plus partnerships with crypto-native teams like aerodrome and other popular projects in the ecosystem that bring real value to $B3 holders and players

great question. we see this as synergistic not competitive we built on the base ecosystem b/c we come from base and coinbase and game chains only add to the overall gdp of base since everything settles there game chains will launch tokens on base and airdrop to $b3 holders so it’s a: - win for base - win for $b3 holders - win for gamechain developers who get access to more users

absolutely! thats the vision with b3 game chains where it's interoperable players should be able to take a cosmetic and use it in any game on b3 while weapons likely not because theres physics involved and a sword in one game likely isn't usable in another but skins player profiles and identity will travel seamlessly across games in our open gaming vision

great question! we want to onboard half the world that plays games and it starts with: 1/ incredible games better than their web2 counterparts. we're partnering with top game makers like infinigods (the most profitable web3 mobile game), GOAT Gaming (who built games for disney and top casual games), Reach (founded by the myspace founders behind jam city which makes $1b+ mobile games), Parallel (top crypto AAA studio) and Supergaming (#1 mobile studio from india), and many more 2) we meet the younger generation who dont have animosity towards crypto and focus on giving them fun games that work and reach them through newer marketing channels like tiktok and instagram but most importantly its about making crypto invisible focusing on great gameplay and removing friction so you can play and earn, without knowing it's crypto
