B3 Ethereum Gaming Chain Launching Token Airdrop on Base Next Week

B3, a layer-3 gaming network built on top of Base—the Coinbase-incubated Ethereum layer-2 chain—announced Friday that it will drop its recently revealed B3 token with an accompanying airdrop on Monday, February 10.

B3 is a gaming-centric network that currently hosts 80 games, with the project saying that it has attracted over 6 million players to date. B3 will also support dedicated "gamechains" for specific games.

Investors, team members, and advisors will all be subject to a one-year cliff, followed by monthly unlocks across the following three years thereafter. The total supply of B3 has yet to be announced.

Decrypt reached out to a B3 representative for more details on the tokenomics, airdrop, and supported exchanges, but did not immediately receive a response.
