Ancient8 Chain is a gaming-focused, community-driven Ethereum Layer 2 solution designed to attract the next 100 million Web3 citizens.
Ancient8’s journey is powered by innovation and unity. At its core is the mission to make Ethereum gaming accessible to everyone. Ancient8 offers a comprehensive suite of products serving game studios with seamless access, launch support, onboarding, marketing, and engagement. Led by the Ancient8 Collective—a consortium of Ancient8’s core gaming partners—Ancient8 Chain collectively nurtures a decentralized community, building an inclusive ecosystem that empowers everyone.
A Major Leap: From Gaming Guild to Layer 2 Ecosystem
In 2021, Ancient8 began its mission as a gaming guild, introducing users to Web3 through games. Having partnered with over 100 games, it helped more than 200,000 players navigate Web3. Yet, working alongside partners and players, they consistently encountered the same challenges in Web3 gaming—most blockchains fall short in providing the technology, tools, and communities needed for gaming. Games require a blockchain capable of delivering seamless, high-performance experiences that meet the expectations of both players and developers.
That’s why Ancient8 launched Ancient8 Chain—an Ethereum Layer 2 chain focused exclusively on gaming, directly addressing these shortcomings and tailored to gaming’s unique demands.
Their goal is to bring millions of users into Web3. To achieve this, strategic alliances have been formed and cutting-edge software products developed, giving rise to the Ancient8 ecosystem. This ecosystem proudly hosts five protocols serving Web3 game studios—Space3, Dojo Launchpad, Eko ID, PlayNation, and Gosu Network. These projects empower users and developers alike, fostering collaboration within the thriving world of Web3 gaming.
Building a Decentralized Future—The Ancient8 Foundation
As Ancient8 moves toward a decentralized future for gaming, it is also decentralizing itself through the establishment of the Ancient8 Foundation. Ancient8 will no longer be governed by a centralized team. The Ancient8 Chain ecosystem will be collaboratively and decentralization built by the Ancient8 Collective—a group of eight core partners who are leading Web3 gaming thought leaders committed to shaping mainstream adoption of the decentralized world. The Ancient8 Foundation will focus on promoting the adoption of Ancient8 Chain and its decentralized governance.
Metacyber8 Labs, a venture studio dedicated to Web3 product development, will serve as a key contributor in building Ancient8 Chain’s technology and core ecosystem products.
At every step, Ancient8 is shaping the future of Web3 gaming through the power of unity and community, with one sole objective: creating a vibrant metaverse that nurtures endless possibilities and innovation.
