GangstaVerse Partners with TOWER Ecosystem on Base

We’re thrilled to announce a major milestone for GangstaVerse: our strategic partnership with TOWER Ecosystem, backed by Animoca Brands, and the official launch of Gang Wars on Base blockchain.

Expanding Beyond ICON

This launch represents the realization of our multi-chain vision. By bringing our strategic simulation game to Base, we’re proving that blockchain games can transcend single ecosystem limitations. Base’s low fees, fast transactions, and seamless wallet experiences remove the friction that has historically kept mainstream gamers away from blockchain gaming.

Partnership with Gaming Pioneers

Our collaboration with TOWER Ecosystem and Animoca Brands marks a new chapter for GangstaVerse. TOWER has built one of the most successful play and earn ecosystems in blockchain gaming, while Animoca Brands has brought blockchain gaming to millions of users worldwide. This partnership aligns us with teams that share our vision for building experiences that are both genuinely fun and economically meaningful.

Lowering Barriers to Entry

Unlike traditional blockchain games requiring expensive NFT purchases upfront, Gang Wars on Base introduces multiple accessible entry points:

Free Characters: New players start with two free characters for seven days, allowing anyone to experience the game without initial investment.

NFT Rental System: Players can rent characters from existing holders for a week, creating yield opportunities for NFT owners while giving access to premium characters for competitive gameplay.

Cross-Chain Bridge: ICON holders can stake their GangstaBet NFTs to generate playable characters on Base, creating utility across both ecosystems.

Free Loot Crate Mints: Players can mint loot crates on Base to obtain weapons, abilities, and power moves, enhancing on-chain activity and player engagement.

Mob Run: A New Game Mode

Through our partnership with TOWER, we’re introducing Mob Run, an exciting new game mode where players can earn TOWER token rewards. This integration demonstrates how projects can collaborate across ecosystems to create richer experiences, combining our simulation mechanics with TOWER’s proven reward systems.

Building Cross-Chain Infrastructure

With Gang Wars running on both ICON and Base, we’re building the infrastructure for cross-chain tournaments where players from different ecosystems can compete directly. The partnerships we’re forming and the infrastructure we’re developing contribute to a future where blockchain gaming isn’t fragmented by chain choice.

Strong Community Response

We’ve already seen significant engagement with over 1,000 loot crates bridged from ICON to Base and 200 NFTs staked in our first campaign. The community response validates our approach to building accessible, engaging blockchain gaming experiences that prioritize both gameplay quality and the ownership opportunities that only blockchain enables.
