Why you should listen

Founded by leaders from Epic Games, Zynga, EA, Riot Games, Activision, Google, Facebook, Disney, and Warner Brothers, Proof of Play’s mission is to create fun, accessible onchain games and, in the process, develop novel technology that makes onchain game development easier for everyone. 

The company’s flagship game, Pirate Nation, is a fully onchain RPG where players battle monsters, build their pirate crew, and compete to become number one on the captain leaderboard. 

The team has raised $33M in funding and is supported by a16z, Greenoaks, and other investors.

Pirate Nation is a fully onchain free-to-play pirate-themed roleplaying game (RPG). Pirate Nation is live on Proof of Play’s Apex chain.

Pirate Nation is a fully onchain game. This is a new type of game that's only possible using blockchain technology. The game and all of its functionality is running on the blockchain using hundreds of smart contracts. Onchain games have a lot of unique characteristics that distinguish them from traditional, centralized games: All player items, actions, and achievements are publicly viewable and auditable. 

Onchain games are "forever games" and will continue to operate as long as the blockchain they are running on exists. It is possible for onchain games to be able to be remixed. Meaning players can add their own features or even create fully derivative works from the game. Onchain games are more secure and transparent. They are enforced with the same security that protects other assets on blockchains.

The Proof of Play engine, which powers Pirate Nation, isn’t just another gaming chain—it’s a cutting-edge onchain game engine designed to enable developers to build games onchain faster than offchain. They are developing a powerful, decentralized foundation for the next generation of onchain games, starting with Pirate Nation.

On November 14th, Proof of Play launched Pirate Nation Season 3, adding a refreshed crafting system, two new leaderboards, and an enhanced staking experience, deepening player engagement.
