What is B3? The Complete Guide to the Blockchain Gaming Ecosystem
B3 is a gaming ecosystem designed to cater to the needs of gaming developers by providing a horizontally scaled, chain-abstracted environment. Built at the L3 level on top of Base, B3.Fun aims to mirror the microservices setup commonly found in web2 gaming development, offering near gasless transactions, unlimited TPS (transactions per second), and the ability to support the specific requirements of game studios.
While the primary focus of B3.Fun is on game developers, it is an open ecosystem that welcomes anyone to build on it. There are no barriers to entry, and the platform is open source, allowing developers to create their own marketplaces or decentralized exchanges (DEXs) on B3.Fun if they choose to do so. The main goal of B3.Fun is to bring fun and exciting games onchain, with the aim of attracting the next million users to the platform.
Telegram-based games allow users to play without having to learn new behaviors, as most people already have a telegram account. Players can earn points, tokens, trade with friends, and mint NFTs through these games. Web app games on basement.fun offer immediate access without the need for sign-ins, account creation, or wallet setup. Account creation only happens when a user wants to get on the leaderboard, keeping things simple and easy for players.
In the near future, several AAA downloadable games are set to come online on basement.fun, showcasing the various use cases and ways in which onchain games can be played. The B3.Fun team firmly believes that chains are the new publishers for gaming developers and studios, and they offer a wide variety of grants to support gaming studios in bringing their games to market.
As a publisher, B3.Fun aims to support gaming studios end-to-end, providing assistance with marketing, distribution, user acquisition, and liquidity to ensure the success of the games deployed on their platform. Gaming studios interested in collaborating with B3.Fun can reach out to the team through b3.fun, where someone will be available to respond immediately.
