More About Treasure? 

Treasure is the premier destination for on-chain gaming, with an ecosystem of 150k+ weekly active players across its 15+ games on the platform (and counting). For players, Treasure is building an interoperable gaming universe that empowers them with all the benefits of the blockchain: 

(1) Digital Ownership:

An on-chain economy that players own, with in-game NFTs, games that are interconnected with one another, a cross-ecosystem marketplace and AMM, and the $MAGIC token that underpins all of Treasure. 

(2) Proof of Play:

Global accounts for players to bring their progression, reputation, and achievements across the ecosystem. 

(3) Bridgeworld:

A decentralized, bottom-up “Marvel Cinematic Universe” that connects and showcases games and IP from across Treasure. 

Karel Vuong, Co-Founder at Treasure, commented: “Together with thirdweb, we’re taking over the world of games in web3. They’re helping us power the best technology, the best tools, and the best infrastructure for studios and game developers. Everything from powerful login and account solutions to onboarding gamers as seamless as possible, all the way through to making fully on-chain mass market games a reality.” 

Treasure Ruby and Portal

The launch of Treasure Ruby coincides with the introduction of the Treasure Portal - a frontend interface designed to provide developers with comprehensive access to explore the intricacies of the Treasure Chain and its evolving features.

Among the features available on the Treasure Portal are:

• Bridge to Treasure Chain Assets: A seamless mechanism for transferring assets onto the Treasure Chain.
• Account Page: Providing users with a snapshot of their assets within the Treasure testnet.
• Quests and Shards: Encouraging user engagement through quests rewarded with Shards, fostering interaction with current testnet features and upcoming games.
• Faucet: Allowing users to obtain testnet MAGIC for experimentation purposes.
• Block Explorer: Offering insights into the Treasure Chain's activity and progression.

Strategic Partnerships

TreasureDAO's commitment to innovation extends beyond the launch of the testnet, as evidenced by strategic partnerships aimed at fortifying the development of the Treasure Chain. Collaborations with web3 infrastructure developer EigenLayer, cross-chain protocol LayerZero, Caldera, and Thirdweb underscore TreasureDAO's dedication to building a robust and interconnected gaming ecosystem.

Details of Thirdweb Partnership

Treasure and thirdweb are introducing two new partner programs to help accelerate developers with thirdweb credits and builder grants. As part of Treasure’s plans to become the premier destination for on-chain gaming, the team is building its flagship Treasure Chain and Infinity Chains, so that every game can have its own L3 with high throughput and low transaction costs. 

With this partnership, all of thirdweb’s tools will be fully compatible with Treasure Chain and Infinity Chains from day one — empowering games with instant access to: 

(1) Seamless onboarding with a complete web3 wallet toolkit 

(2) Pre-built, audited smart contracts to power on-chain activity 

(3) Production-grade APIs & infrastructure, built to scale 

Gaming Ecosystem

TreasureDAO's ecosystem encompasses an array of gaming titles, each contributing to the vibrant landscape of decentralized gaming. Bridgeworld, a resource management game powered by the $MAGIC token, stands at the forefront of Treasure's gaming network, serving as a platform for various gaming guilds. Smolbound, a life simulation RPG within the Smolverse project, and Tales of Ellaria, an entry point to the broader Ellaria metaverse, further enrich the Treasure ecosystem with their immersive gameplay experiences.

BattleFly, an action-packed strategy game, and The Beacon, a roguelite RPG with social MMO elements, exemplify the diversity of gaming experiences offered within the Treasure network. Additionally, partnerships with developers such as Mighty Bear Games reinforce TreasureDAO's position as a hub for innovative gaming content.

As TreasureDAO continues to push the boundaries of decentralized gaming, the launch of Treasure Ruby and the Treasure Portal signals a new chapter in the evolution of the Treasure ecosystem. With a steadfast commitment to community-driven development and interoperability, TreasureDAO sets a precedent for the future of gaming on the blockchain.
