Mint Blockchain is an Ethereum Layer2 network initiated by NFTScan Labs and the MintCore developer team, with development starting in October 2023 and the mainnet launching in May 2024. Built on the OP Stack, it is a core member of the Optimism Superchain and utilizes Ethereum’s mainnet as its DA layer to ensure security and compatibility. As a fully EVM-compatible Layer2 network, Mint Blockchain allows Ethereum developers to seamlessly expand their projects while significantly reducing gas fees and enhancing scalability.
Mint Blockchain is actively building an open-source infrastructure ecosystem for NFT assets, including five core modules: NIPs Platform, Mint Studio, IP Layer, Mint Liquid, and NFT-AI Agent. These modules cover the entire lifecycle of NFT assets, from issuance to trading, settlement, and on-chain data indexing. By developing these key components, Mint Blockchain aims to create a decentralized network dedicated to supporting NFT assets and fostering a more efficient and scalable NFT ecosystem.
The vision of Mint Blockchain is to connect global users and AI Agents through NFTs, enabling both humans and AI Agents to freely own and trade NFT assets. Its goal is to establish NFTs as the most unrestricted value carrier in the crypto world, making them a bridge between human society and AI. By providing a decentralized infrastructure tailored to NFTs, Mint Blockchain seeks to maximize the value and accessibility of NFT assets for all users.

Blade Games, an on-chain game studio and infrastructure provider, has successfully closed its $2.4 million seed funding round. The round is co-led by PTC Crypto and IOSG Ventures, with participation from Bonfire Union Ventures, Animoca Ventures, Mantle, ForesightX, Formless Capital, Public Works, Puzzle Ventures, K300 Ventures and others.
The investment will fuel the development and adoption of trustless onchain games building on the WebAssembly and zkVM tech stacks.
"Initially powered by zkWASM, we have developed a ZK onchain game engine where everyone can build their onchain games with C++, Go, Rust and C# code" Blade Games Co-Founder 0xBrawler told The Block. "Through our game engine, onchain game builders can customize their L2/L3, DA layer and zkVM choices."
Games built with Blade Game’s zk game engine can run their game logic in a zkVM, and push the state differences onchain as zkSNARK proofs, which then gets verified on L2s. The ZK game engine currently can process up to 12-15 frames per second, with proof batching features to be released soon. The engine is currently supporting a variety of game studio clients building survival (0xPioneer), tower defense(Dune Factory), RPG and roguelike deck building games. The team also plans to support zkVMs such as RiscZero, and DA layers such as Eigenlayer, Avail, 0G and Greenfield.
The POC game, Dune Factory, is the industry's first trustless onchain game powered by ZKP. The game features a fusion of tower defense and automation gameplay, and players can engage in base building, arbitrage, PvP raiding to win rewards.
The Alpha Test of Dune Factory is scheduled for May 1st. Players holding invite codes will have the exclusive opportunity to experience the gameplay firsthand, gaining an edge for the upcoming Public Test in late May.
