December 5, 2024 - Laguna Labs is thrilled to announce its partnership with B3 to publish Neo Olympus — a dynamic fully on-chain world where players command legendary Mecha Gods or Titan Kaiju in a timeless clash of power and strategy. Choose your side, build alliances, and harness the might of ancient forces reborn in this futuristic battleground!
B3 is a groundbreaking horizontally-scaled gaming ecosystem built on Coinbase’s L2 network, Base. With $21 million in funding, B3 continues to scale its impact on blockchain gaming, bringing acclaimed developers like Parallel, and Nifty Island into its ecosystem.
Memecoins and NFTs Combined: Get Ready for the DN-404 Revolution
Neo Olympus will launch with a gamified minting experience in January 2025 that utilizes the novel DN-404 token standard which effectively combines the liquidity of memecoins with NFTs. These assets play a foundational role in Neo Olympus and give players more control over their holdings through a dynamic mint/burn “reroll” mechanism.
This innovative model allows players to trade fractional NFT ownership in a decentralized exchange (DEX) pool. Similar to most memecoins, the tokens are fully diluted and have no insider allocations; all of the liquidity is locked in the DEX pool. As players buy and sell, NFTs are dynamically minted and burned, creating a thrilling new way to interact with digital assets. This groundbreaking model, first seen in the billion-dollar success of Pandora404, opens up endless possibilities for gaming and the future of NFTs.
The first mint in January will be for Prime Cores, a 404-collection that will be essential to the world of Neo Olympus. Prime Core holders with active forges will receive a permanent and ongoing $OLYMPUS token drop. They will also produce other assets for crafting, upgrading, and minting future NFTs, that will all be tradable. Like Prime Cores, the $OLYMPUS token has zero team or investor allocations!
Pushing Boundaries with Onchain Gaming through MUD
Neo Olympus will be a fully on-chain experience, built on the MUD framework from Lattice. This framework, also employed by CCP Games in their pioneering on-chain project Eve Frontier, is specifically designed for ambitious, decentralized applications. By allowing more complex game logic and data to exist on-chain, MUD enables a game ecosystem that is transparent and open-source, supporting third-party developers and outside builders alike.
With Neo Olympus, we’re excited to foster an open ecosystem, welcoming community contributions, hackathons, and independent tool development to enrich the experience for all players. Neo Olympus will not just be a game but a platform for blockchain gaming builders.
Focus on Cross-chain Accessibility
As blockchain gaming evolves, the future points toward a highly interoperable, multichain landscape where players can interact easily across different networks. Neo Olympus is built with this at its foundation, and our partnership with B3 is a pivotal step toward realizing this vision.
B3 is leading the charge in embracing an omnichain future, aligning on a vision where cooperation, rather than competition, advances the future of Web3. As such Laguna Labs is committed to making Neo Olympus a widely available, multichain experience.
Other blockchain partnerships will be announced in the near future as we get closer to mint!
