About Open Loot

The Open Loot platform serves as a hub for game developers, featuring tools to mint and distribute crypto assets while reaching an established audience of over 1.5 million registered players.

Central to Open Loot’s ecosystem is the $OL token, designed to drive community engagement by rewarding both developers and players. To date, Open Loot has facilitated nearly $500 million in transaction volume. The fund also builds upon the success of Big Time Studios’ flagship game, Big Time, an action RPG that is popular in web3.

A New Era of Gaming

The $150 million Open Loot Fund is aligned with a significant shift in the web3 gaming landscape. Early blockchain games often prioritized crypto integration over compelling gameplay, leading to fragmented player experiences and limited adoption.

However, the industry has matured, with developers focusing on engaging gameplay first and leveraging blockchain technology to enhance overall immersion and utility. The Open Loot Fund champions this balanced approach, enabling studios to deliver games where blockchain elements—such as NFTs and token economies—serve to complement and enrich the player experience rather than dominate it.

By prioritizing gameplay and providing resources to seamlessly integrate blockchain technology, the fund aims to advance the quality of games within the web3 ecosystem.
