A group of industry veterans from some of gaming's most successful franchises, along with web3 studios such as MYTH, Mystic Games, and Vanguard Vision Studios, have come together to introduce WARP. This new web3 gaming ecosystem is built on the Avalanche blockchain and aims to redefine the relationship between gaming and blockchain technology. Rather than blockchain developers seeking adoption from gaming, WARP represents a shift where game developers themselves are leading the transition into blockchain, leveraging their expertise to create sustainable and scalable digital economies.
WARP Introduces Gaming Ecosystem on Avalanche

WARP Co-Founder David Blomquist says the platform will speed up the shift to web3 for game studios by supporting blockchain-based ownership, cross-game digital assets, and decentralized economies. Players get full control of their in-game items, meaning they can sell or trade them without the usual restrictions that traditional gaming ecosystems enforce.
Traditional gaming economics are hitting their limits. WARP offers a different path that puts control in the hands of both developers and players. The platform gives studios the tools and infrastructure they need to move into web3 without breaking their game economies in the process.
More About WARP
Custom blockchain solution for gaming
WARP built its own Layer 1 blockchain on Avalanche to solve the problems web3 gaming studios keep running into. The infrastructure focuses on scalability, security, and developer-friendly tools so studios can build games that work economically and keep players engaged. The ecosystem includes a web3 SDK toolset, an AI-driven tokenomics sandbox, and a full suite of consultancy and publishing services.
The web3 gaming market is projected to hit $125 billion by 2032, but most game developers still struggle with technical barriers and economic complexity. WARP handles this with automated tokenomics calculations, pre-built economic frameworks, and AI-powered market simulations that let developers test and adjust their game economies before launch. This cuts development costs and improves player engagement and retention.
Supporting game developers with AI
WARP uses AI to help game studios through the development process. The platform's AI Agent SDK improves NPC interactions and in-game economies, while market simulation tools let developers fine-tune their tokenomics before release. An advanced analytics dashboard tracks player behavior and token metrics in real time, so studios can keep optimizing their economies after launch.
Rob Murray, CEO of WARP, says existing blockchain networks have made progress in supporting web3 gaming, but many studios still struggle with different incentive structures and token models. WARP's ecosystem simplifies these processes so developers can focus on making good games instead of wrestling with blockchain infrastructure.

The road ahead for WARP
WARP has already drawn interest from major gaming studios and web3 projects, with several partnerships expected to be announced soon. The first wave of games developed within the WARP ecosystem, including titles like Call of the Voyd and Sarge Universe, is set to launch in 2025.
WARP chose to build on Avalanche because of the blockchain's security, speed, and scalability, which matter when you're trying to support large-scale gaming ecosystems. Avalanche's consensus mechanism and open-source framework give developers a solid foundation for creating web3 games without constant friction.
As web3 gaming continues to develop, WARP wants to push the industry toward a model where digital ownership, interoperability, and economic sustainability are standard features. By combining blockchain technology with decades of gaming experience, WARP is positioned to shape the future of interactive entertainment.
