B3.fun, a gaming platform founded by former Coinbase alumni and built on Base, Coinbase’s Layer 2 network has officially launched its game discovery platform, BSMNT.fun.

The B3.fun platform has made its debut on the mainnet and reports a record-breaking testnet with over 367,000 wallets created so far and 47 million transactions.

NPC Labs, an on-chain product distribution platform founded by former members of Base, is a key contributor to B3.fun, and it has been speeding up the onboarding and development of the platform. Last month, NPC Labs, secured an $18 million Seed Round led by Pantera Capital, for gaming projects.

The mainnet launch will see over 20 gaming studios committed to building casual or hyper-casual games on the platform. B3 said in an email to CryptoNews that it will be focusing most of its business development and growth in Asia, especially South Korea, and Japan.

B3 onchain game developers include Mighty Bear Games, Parallel and the Echelon Prime Ecosystem, Nifty Island, Infinigods, GameCoin, Anomaly, Wanderers, MetaStreet, DEAR by ARPA, Iskra, and more.

BSMNT.fun Bridges Gap Between Web2 and Web3 Gaming

Saemi Kim, Director of Player1 Foundation, which oversees governance and operations of B3, said with major companies like Ubisoft, Zynga, and Nexon incorporating onchain elements into their games to attract new players, the convergence of Web2 and Web3 gaming has been gaining momentum.

“Our discovery platform, BSMNT.fun, bridges the gap between traditional Web2 and Web3 gaming, transforming how players will find and experience onchain games in a way that appeals to both traditional gamers and blockchain enthusiasts,” said Kim.

B3 initially supports games built on Ethereum, Base, and other Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) chains, with plans to easily onboard games from other chains like Solana.
