It’s time.

Today, we unveil the Super Champs Chain!

We're scaling our mobile gaming ecosystem with a cutting-edge Layer 3 on
@base, optimized for a mass market user base.

This includes a ‘BuilderKit’ allowing developers to build more games with Super Champs IP. 🧵

@base Builders IRL meetup in Bangalore? Polling to gauge interest @jessepollak
Pretty soon saying “web3 game” is going to be as archaic as “Internet game” or even “free to play” game.

Player-owned digital assets will simply be an expectation in all great games.
web2 games: build product, earn community
web3 games: earn community, build product
Crafting token gameplay as a new category of min-max play enabled by blockchain helps in guiding sustainable game design. It’s not play to earn, it’s play to optimize with a novel market-based leaderboard.

Looking for ideas on how we can build more gaming projects on base
We are betting the farm on @base for our @superchampshq mobile games because we believe no other blockchain ecosystem has the consumer reach and infrastructure to achieve our goal of 100 million real people playing our games.

@jessepollak What can we invest in as a partner to help the whole ecosystem achieve scale?
Play to earn airdrops are out in full force. But there seems a move to go back to play to earn gameplay as core economy as well. A bad idea IMO.

There are more sustainable economies we should be exploring to forge token communities into game communities.
Protocol vs. L3 Chain: We always envisioned creating a protocol for game publishing that would work agnostically across chains, allowing our studios to build where they wanted.

Rethinking strategy to take a bet on an ecosystem instead, especially as a L3. What do you all think?
A blast from the past. It’s been nearly 20 years since I last ate the iconic Steak and Cheese sub at Pinocchio’s off Harvard Square in Cambridge, MA. Just as tasty as ever…

If you’d like to discuss and share gaming and entertainment projects @base please intro yourself at /playonbase. Excited to meet all the builders, founders, and strivers.
Web3 in games is inevitable. I’m not so sure about web3 gaming.
We’ve been quietly growing a virtual Tiktok celebrity set in the @superchampshq universe.

You can own your SC characters on-chain, you can play games with them, you can watch them online, and (soon) you’ll be able to bring them to (artificial) life.

Craving the best noodles I’ve had anywhere in the world.

Myeongdong Kyoja in Seoul - legendary. I was in Korea for two days, had the noodles for lunch the first day, couldn’t believe how great they were and went back for lunch again the second day.

Super simple, but oh-so-tasty 🍜

When to abandon an idea is one of the most common questions I’ve been asked over the years.

The best strategy I’ve found is to candidly assess whether the next set of hypotheses is higher quality than the previous. If so, additional data is still informing your thinking and it is likely productive to keep going.
What new memecoins do you think could turn the corner and become real IP/community with lore, depth, etc.? Put your favorite coin below and who knows, we might put it in a game...
Started a channel for games and entertainment experiences @base. Join and share what you're working on! @jessepollak
If Bitcoin is digital gold, then Ordinals would be digital jewelry?
Back at the design school @stanforduniversity to teach my class on design+entrepreneurship this quarter. The students’ energy is always fantastic and refreshing

Instead of using blockchain solutions to solve problems for only web3 game developers and crypto players, we are solving problems faced by ALL players and ALL game developers @base
Decentralized ownership builds the greatest community. How to turn that energy into a global games and media franchise is what we are figuring out with @superchampshq
Grinding games while carrying community expectations isn’t easy.

Having authentic community members who care about the mission, the project, and each other is what matters most.

6 million blockchain players and two live mobile games in beta for @superchampshq. An exciting few months on the way!
