Insights from Leadership

“The reaction to B3 has been electric and our ecosystem has obviously struck a chord,” says Saemi Kim, Director of Player1 Foundation. “With major companies like Ubisoft, Zynga (NASDAQ:ZNGA), 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.”

Parallel Studios CEO, Sascha Mojtahedi, remarks: “We’re excited to be among the first developers to launch on B3, offering unique features for casual games.”

User Experience and Accessibility

With core contributions from NPC Labs and blockchain R&D firm ChainSafe, B3 emphasizes user experience through its chain abstraction technology. This allows developers to create games seamlessly across multiple chains.

“ChainSafe has been at the forefront of web3 gaming innovation for the last three years, addressing daily hurdles faced by gamers and developers,” says Greg Markou, ChainSafe Systems’ Chief Product Officer.

B3 supports games built on Ethereum, Base, and other EVM chains while planning to onboard games from Solana and TON blockchain among others.

“At NPC Labs, our mission is to empower game developers and enhance player experiences by leveraging blockchain technology,” states Sean Geng, Co-founder & CTO at NPC Labs. “Our contribution to B3 emphasizes seamless user experience and accessibility.”
