Tldr: Game-Focused Layer2, Full Stack Solution and Early Birds

For the past few years, the gaming community has grappled with the limitations of first-generation Web3 prototypes. Today, with COMBO network’s successful mainnet launch, all this is about to change.

This milestone is the culmination of meticulous planning and innovation, designed to meet the high demands of today’s high-transaction, high-performance gaming market. Now, the COMBO mainnet is ready to empower developers to craft games that rival the complexity and excitement of traditional gaming titles, with the added benefits of embedded Web3 technology.

Here’s what you need to know.

Why Build on COMBO?

The Full Stack Solution for Your Web3 Game Development

When we initiated COMBO, our aim was to facilitate game developers in achieving the rapid development of Web3 games. To accomplish this goal, our efforts primarily concentrate on the following aspects:

Providing a scalable Layer2 with low fees for hosting games.

Introducing a new development paradigm and tools for swift Web3 game creation.

Offering comprehensive guides for developers to quickly pick up Web3 game development skills.

With the launch of COMBO’s mainnet, we are ushering in an era of enhanced Web3 game development capabilities and ecosystem partnerships. This evolution signifies a major leap from our project’s initial capabilities, heralding a future where COMBO’s technological prowess, gaming ecosystem resources and community engagement redefine the standards of blockchain gaming.

Key support features of COMBO include:

Infrastructure: COMBO’s mainnet is based on Optimism (OP) Stack and fully EVM-compatible. It simplifies the transition process for developers, requiring minimal code changes to migrate dApps, smart contracts, or applications to the COMBO mainnet. This compatibility also streamlines integration for developers, as COMBO maintains high-security standards and leverages the BNB Chain for secure, scalable, and cost-efficient transactions. During the testnet, COMBO achieved a staggering 5,000 TPS while keeping gas fee as low as 0.001 Gwei.

COMBO Architecture

Tools & Guides: COMBO supports all popular game engines and programming languages, granting developers the freedom to use familiar tools. Our detailed guides make it simple for developers to enter the Web3 realm based on their existing engine skills. For instance, we integrate development documentation and Web3 game creation guidelines into the Cocos Creator game engine as a plug-in, aiding traditional developers in smoothly transitioning to the Web3 space.

COMBO Plugin in Cocos Creator Game Engine

Fundraising: Developers have access to various funding avenues within the COMBO ecosystem, including $1 million in $COMBO tokens for high-quality project deployment incentive and $80 million ecosystem fund. Additionally, ecosystem projects can tap into COMBO’s connections with top-tier venture capitalists for professional assistance as we build the future of gaming together.

Grants: COMBO extends substantial support through our grant program. Projects meeting specified transaction volume thresholds qualify to receive rewards, and high transaction volume-contributing projects are entitled to transaction revenue dividends.

Community: Backed by a vibrant community of 1.6 million game developers, COMBO is an active game hub. During the testnet, the Unique Active Wallet (UAW) exceeded 1.8 million. Within COMBO community, the games can flourish, connecting with avid gamers, collaborative developers, and the innovative spark essential for the game’s future.

With such a robust framework for support, COMBO’s mainnet launch is poised to revolutionize the Web3 gaming landscape, inviting early adopters to maximize their benefits in this innovative ecosystem.

Key Takeaways

TOKEN2049 was an electrifying experience, and it was thrilling to see a growing kaleidoscope of top-tier web3 games, each with their unique aspirations within our growing ecosystem. The large turnout and diverse backgrounds of attendees were an inspiration, underscoring the industry’s collective focus on web3 infrastructure, SocialFi, gaming, and more. It was particularly heartening to see experienced traditional game studios embracing this new era by creating more high-quality web3 games that integrate web3 tokenomics and AI technology, which demonstrates a lasting dedication to both sustainable business and premium game quality.

However, a significant challenge faced by the majority of gaming studios is their limited experience and understanding of web3, which makes it challenging to navigate this new domain. The growing demand for web3 games, and the continued need for better game development solutions to streamline and scale the creative process, makes now the perfect time for COMBO to provide its professional expertise and contribute to the gaming industry’s smooth transition into the web3 world.

There is no doubt that web3 gaming is still in its foundational stages of development, but rest assured — we are closely monitoring the industry’s progress, engaging with a range of existing projects to incubate on-chain games, and plugging in wherever we can to support the growth of this industry.

What Comes Next

Overall, TOKEN2049 attendees had a fiercely optimistic outlook for the future of web3 gaming, and this period presents an excellent opportunity for the entire industry to retain high quality talent and continue turning their visions into reality.

As we reflect on the event, we’re thrilled to announce that COMBO’s mainnet launch is just weeks away. As the date approaches, we’re collaborating closely with numerous high-quality game developers, and we aspire for COMBO to provide invaluable assistance to building and scaling the next generation of gaming projects as they embark on their web3 journey.

Stay tuned for the exciting journey ahead as we continue to push the boundaries of web3 gaming, bringing innovation and fun to the forefront of the gaming industry!
