In a strategic move to expand its gaming ecosystem, Joyride Games, now rebranded as Super Champs and operated by the Super Champs Protocol Foundation, has unveiled the Super Champs Chain.

What is Super Champs?

Super Champs is a gaming and animation universe featuring young athletes from fantastical locations like Brontokyo, Nimbleton, Wispwood, and Zomberg. These athletes, known as Super Champs, attend the prestigious Super Champs Academy to develop their superpowers and athletic skills in various sports and combat activities.

The universe comes to life through mobile games, NFTs, animated films, social videos, comics, and graphic novels. Powered by the CHAMP token and supported by the Super Champs Foundation, the ecosystem aims to deliver unique experiences for users while establishing Super Champs as a next-generation global media franchise.  

Super Champs offers a series of action role-playing mobile games. These games feature signature characters and storylines from the Super Champs Universe. With two main games, Racket Rampage and Bullet League, already live in public beta, players can enjoy a variety of interactive entertainment experiences.

Super Champs L3 Blockchain

The Super Champs Chain operates as an L3 blockchain, utilizing Coinbase’s OP-based L2 blockchain for transaction rollups to Ethereum, ensuring robust security measures. With its flagship app, Super Champs hub, and popular mobile games like Racket Rampage and Bullet League contributing significantly to Base blockchain activity, the foundation anticipates the Super Champs Chain to emerge among the top 5 blockchains for gaming transactions upon launch.

Central to this development is the introduction of the CHAMPS token, expected to play a pivotal role within the ecosystem. The initiative mirrors successful models observed in other high-performing gaming blockchains such as Proof of Play’s Apex and Boss chains, as well as the XAI L3 chain utilized by Crypto Unicorns and The Lost Glitches.

“We aim to build the first scaled web3 gaming franchise, immersing the community in multiple mobile games and a deep story-based universe. Our next mission is to empower builders to bring new, high-quality game experiences set in the Super Champs Universe to our engaged community."
