This milestone is the culmination of meticulous planning and innovation, designed to meet the high demands of today’s high-transaction, high-performance gaming market. Now, the COMBO mainnet is ready to empower developers to craft games that rival the complexity and excitement of traditional gaming titles, with the added benefits of embedded Web3 technology.

Here’s what you need to know.

Why Build on COMBO? The Full Stack Solution for Your Web3 Game Development

When we initiated COMBO, our aim was to facilitate game developers in achieving the rapid development of Web3 games. To accomplish this goal, our efforts primarily concentrate on the following aspects:

Providing a scalable Layer2 with low fees for hosting games.

Introducing a new development paradigm and tools for swift Web3 game creation.

Offering comprehensive guides for developers to quickly pick up Web3 game development skills.

With the launch of COMBO’s mainnet, we are ushering in an era of enhanced Web3 game development capabilities and ecosystem partnerships. This evolution signifies a major leap from our project’s initial capabilities, heralding a future where COMBO’s technological prowess, gaming ecosystem resources and community engagement redefine the standards of blockchain gaming.

Key support features of COMBO include:

Infrastructure: COMBO’s mainnet is based on Optimism (OP) Stack and fully EVM-compatible. It simplifies the transition process for developers, requiring minimal code changes to migrate dApps, smart contracts, or applications to the COMBO mainnet. This compatibility also streamlines integration for developers, as COMBO maintains high-security standards and leverages the BNB Chain for secure, scalable, and cost-efficient transactions. During the testnet, COMBO achieved a staggering 5,000 TPS while keeping gas fee as low as 0.001 Gwei.
Tools & Guides: COMBO supports all popular game engines and programming languages, granting developers the freedom to use familiar tools. Our detailed guides make it simple for developers to enter the Web3 realm based on their existing engine skills. For instance, we integrate development documentation and Web3 game creation guidelines into the Cocos Creator game engine as a plug-in, aiding traditional developers in smoothly transitioning to the Web3 space.
Fundraising: Developers have access to various funding avenues within the COMBO ecosystem, including $1 million in $COMBO tokens for high-quality project deployment incentive and $80 million ecosystem fund. Additionally, ecosystem projects can tap into COMBO’s connections with top-tier venture capitalists for professional assistance as we build the future of gaming together.

Grants: COMBO extends substantial support through our grant program. Projects meeting specified transaction volume thresholds qualify to receive rewards, and high transaction volume-contributing projects are entitled to transaction revenue dividends.
Community: Backed by a vibrant community of 1.6 million game developers, COMBO is an active game hub. During the testnet, the Unique Active Wallet (UAW) exceeded 1.8 million. Within COMBO community, the games can flourish, connecting with avid gamers, collaborative developers, and the innovative spark essential for the game’s future.

With such a robust framework for support, COMBO’s mainnet launch is poised to revolutionize the Web3 gaming landscape, inviting early adopters to maximize their benefits in this innovative ecosystem.
