**PALO ALTO, CA, September 12th, 2024/Chainwire/--**The Super Champs Protocol Foundation is excited to announce the launch of the Super Champs Chain – a cutting edge gaming optimized L3 that rolls up to the Base blockchain from Coinbase.

Built on the web3 game publishing platform and protocol from Joyride Games, the Chain also includes the BuilderKit, a development, growth, and live operations suite for mobile studios. The Super Champs Chain represents the next step in the Foundation’s vision to build a games franchise powered by web3 community, proprietary IP, and mobile game tooling.

Super Champs is an anime-inspired universe where superhero athletes use their powers to compete across multiple action sports. Super Champs already has two popular mobile games built by Joyride Games, Racket Rampage and Bullet League, and a Super Champs HQ web-based questing experience tailored for cryptonatives.

Since launching in June, Super Champs has become the top games ecosystem on the Base blockchain with 5MM+ total game installs, 125k+ onchain daily active users, 700k+ onchain monthly active users, 250k+ X followers, and 650k+ YouTube and TikTok subscribers. These blockchain games currently represent ~10% of all daily users on Base, and migration to the L3 will make it a Top 5 gaming blockchain with current activity alone.

“The Super Champs ecosystem has seen dramatic growth already, and it is poised to grow further with the upcoming launch of the $CHAMP token. We aim to build the first scaled web3 gaming franchise, immersing the community in multiple mobile games and a deep story-based universe,” said Vivek Nallavelli, Director of the Super Champs Protocol Foundation. “Our next mission is to empower Builders to bring new, high quality game experiences set in the Super Champs Universe to our engaged community.”

The Super Champs L3 Chain on Base is built on Joyride’s game publishing platform and protocol for web3 mobile games. The Chain uses the Arbitrum rollup stack to achieve rapid and low-cost transaction processing and a gas-free experience for consumers, making it an attractive solution for studios to create immersive game experiences for players.

This architecture offloads complex computations from Base, scaling horizontally as part of Joyride’s omnichain network to handle increasing load while inheriting the security guarantees of the Ethereum blockchain. The BuilderKit complements this blockchain infrastructure by offering studios building games cutting-edge mobile-optimized tools to build, grow, and manage their games.

“It’s amazing to see Super Champs generating such excitement for its games and animated series on TikTok and YouTube,” said Omar Siddiqui, Founder & CEO of Joyride Games.

“As the first mobile games ecosystem built on our publishing platform and protocol, we can’t wait to see every studio building a Super Champs game accelerate its growth with access to world-class infrastructure. Our long term vision has always been for Super Champs to introduce a new web3 paradigm for game franchises, and it's thrilling to see it come to life.”

With the announcement of the Chain and BuilderKit, Super Champs is evaluating ideas for new games from Builders who want to take advantage of its novel IP and thriving community to build new games.

“We’re still in the nascent stages of understanding the true potential of web3 gaming, and there’s no other web3 native mobile game IP that has already generated early momentum like Super Champs,” said Scott Rupp, Founding General Partner at BITKRAFT Ventures. “Today’s announcement makes it easier than ever for game developers to build in the robust Super Champs ecosystem, taking us another step closer to decentralization and bringing web3 experiences to the mainstream.”
