India’s SuperGaming Launching B3 Gamechain via Ethereum’s Base Network

SuperGaming, an Indian game developer that has attracted more than 200 million players to date, is teaming with blockchain gaming ecosystem B3 to launch a dedicated gamechain, the companies announced this week.

The collaboration will allow SuperGaming to bring its games onto the blockchain, all while maintaining a unified gaming environment where players can move seamlessly between different games.

B3 is a gaming-centric layer-3 gaming network built on Base, the Ethereum layer-2 network created by crypto exchange Coinbase. The network launched its B3 token last week.

SuperGaming is the firm behind numerous mobile games, including shooter game MaskGun and battle royale game Indus. The firm also previously launched a blockchain game called Tower Conquest: Metaverse Edition, which was built on Ethereum network Polygon. The firm plans to “refresh and bring back” that game, CEO Roby John told Decrypt.

"B3's technology makes it easy for us to bring our games onto the blockchain, giving us the amazing opportunity to serve our Web2 and Web3 players via our launched games like TCME," said John, in a statement.

B3's gaming ecosystem has processed over 200 million transactions and onboarded more than 6 million digital wallets since launch. The platform currently serves over 140,000 daily active players through BSMNT.fun, its gaming portal that allows users to access games across multiple blockchain networks with a single login.

B3 is teaming up with established game studios to launch dedicated gamechains built with its tech, each focusing on a different market or type of gaming.

While SuperGaming’s gamechain is meant to serve gamers in India, one called Godchain from the developer of InfiniGods will focus on mobile games, while Primechain from Parallel Studios will host PC games. Parallel Studios, the maker of Ethereum NFT card game Parallel, is bringing a first-person shooter called Project Tau Ceti to the B3 ecosystem.
