Supercharging web3 gaming with Treasure
Today, we’re excited to announce our landmark partnership with Treasure — becoming the official web3 development provider for the Treasure platform and all games in the Treasure ecosystem.
This partnership will further Treasure's mission to build the decentralized game console — empowering players with true digital ownership, and supercharging game developers with everything they need to build best-in-class onchain games.
We’re excited to bring our full-stack web3 development toolkit to the largest web3 gaming ecosystem — powering every developer on the Treasure Chain and Infinity Chains once they go live this year.
Additionally, we’re introducing two grant programs with Treasure to supercharge game developers on Treasure Chain:
- Kickstart Grant: Get up to $500 + 30 days of free Growth support
- Game Builders Program: Get up to $5,000 + 30 days of free Pro support
The gaming industry is changing
In 2023, web3 gaming hit an inflection point — with tens of AAA-level game releases, hundreds of indie titles, and millions of players across those games in various genres.
Web3 games are starting to look a lot more like their web2 counterparts, with seamless onboarding and immersive gameplay. Players & developers alike are realizing the benefits of onchain games, and how they’re disrupting the $400 billion gaming industry:
- Digital ownership of in-game assets for players
- Blockchain-as-a-backend architectures for developers, secured by Ethereum
- New business models with aligned incentives for developers & studios
- Shared ecosystems, community, and liquidity with underlying chains
At thirdweb, we’ve powered 2,000+ onchain games with hundreds of thousands of players across web, mobile, & desktop — equipping developers with best-in-class SDKs, APIs, and web3 development tools for any EVM chain.
Today, we’re excited to accelerate the gaming industry alongside the largest web3 gaming ecosystem — and to empower every developer with all the tools they need to build on Treasure.
Building an interoperable web3 gaming universe
Treasure is building the decentralized game console — an interconnected network of 10+ games, chains, & communities supercharged by:
- Digital Ownership: An onchain economy that players own — with in-game NFTs, games that are interconnected with one another, a cross-ecosystem marketplace and AMM, and the $MAGIC token that underpins all of Treasure.
- Proof of Play: Global accounts for players to bring their progression, reputation, and achievements across the ecosystem.
- Bridgeworld: A decentralized, bottom-up “Marvel Cinematic Universe” that connects and showcases games and IP from across Treasure.
For game developers & studios, Treasure empowers builders with everything they need to build best-in-class onchain games:
- Performant Gaming Chains: Low-cost, high-throughput appchains built for games — powered by the core Treasure Chain and its new network of Infinity Chains.
- Treasure Development Kit: An all-in-one development stack that integrates the Treasure platform into any game with cross-platform support, deployable smart contracts, and game infrastructure — powered by thirdweb’s full-stack web3 toolkit.
- Unified Identity & Login: Seamless onboarding to bring players into your game — with a unified identity and login across all Treasure games, and powerful segmentation tools to personalize player experiences.
With this partnership, we’re excited to supercharge developers on Treasure with best-in-class web3 SDKs, APIs, and tools for the Treasure Chain and Infinity Chains.
