Super Champs Launches Layer Three Chain on Base, Creates Open Builder Platform for Scaled Web 3.0 Games Franchise

September 12, 2024 – Palo Alto, California

Super Champs Chain will accelerate growth with new games from builders. Super Champs is 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 layer three that rolls up to the Base blockchain from Coinbase.

Built on the Web 3.0 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 the Web 3.0 community, proprietary IP (intellectual property) 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 crypto natives.

Since launching in June 2024, Super Champs has become the top games ecosystem on the Base blockchain with over five million total game installs, over 125,000 on-chain DAUs (daily active users), over 700,000 on-chain MAUs (monthly active users), over 250,000 followers on X and over 650,000 subscribers on YouTube and TikTok.

These blockchain games currently represent approximately 10 percent of all daily users on Base, and migration to the layer three will make it a top five gaming blockchain with current activity alone.

Vivek Nallavelli, director of the Super Champs Protocol Foundation, said,

“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 Web 3.0 gaming franchise, immersing the community in multiple mobile games and a deep story-based universe.

“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 layer three chain on Base is built on Joyride’s game publishing platform and protocol for Web 3.0 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.

Omar Siddiqui, founder and CEO of Joyride Games, said,

“It’s amazing to see Super Champs generating such excitement for its games and animated series on TikTok and YouTube.

“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 Web 3.0 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.

Scott Rupp, founding general partner at BITKRAFT Ventures, said,

“We’re still in the nascent stages of understanding the true potential of Web 3.0 gaming, and there’s no other Web 3.0 native mobile game IP that has already generated early momentum like Super Champs.

“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 Web 3.0 experiences to the mainstream.”
