Basejump unveiled its Web3 social gaming platform with an AI-powered gaming substrate dubbed Action that lets players create their own games.
The company has also raised a strategic investment round from Community Labs. Set to debut in early 2025, Basejump allows players to earn, explore, and share game assets, and even create entire games.
Basejump is powered by Action, an open, AI-driven substrate developed by the Basejump team, which enables users to generate content without any coding skills, making game creation more accessible and interactive.
Action operates on AO, the distributed supercomputer that leverages Arweave’s permanent storage technology to ensure that user-created content, such as game assets and worlds, is stored on the blockchain and accessible indefinitely.
“Basejump is a discovery surface for the 3.2 billion people who use avatars across games and digital worlds,” said Matt Mason, CEO of Basejump, in a statement. “Imagine a place where you can bring your game characters, items, and skins into an expanding universe of worlds you can instantly create and explore. This dream is finally possible thanks to the AO supercomputer.”
Basejump is aimed at empowering user to create games.
Lex Johnson, chief creative officer, said in a statement, “Building on Action’s AI capabilities and AO’s powerful infrastructure, users will be able to bring unique, interoperable game worlds and assets to life. And thanks to Arweave, these creations will live on permanently. The opportunities for new cultural and commercial experiences are incredible.”
“Basejump’s unique approach to blending social gaming with AI-driven creation on AO’s infrastructure is exactly the kind of groundbreaking initiative that aligns with our mission,” said Tate Berenbaum, CEO of Community Labs, in a statement. “We’re excited for this partnership and the opportunity to support their vision of reshaping the future of gaming.”
Community Labs is uniquely positioned at the center of the Arweave and AO ecosystem, dedicated to building foundational tools and infrastructure to solve key challenges faced by developers and users. The organization’s mission is to drive innovation and create impactful solutions. Through its venture studio, Community Labs equips founders and teams with the resources needed to identify, develop, and scale product ideas from inception to mass adoption.
Action is an open, permissionless gaming substrate, made possible by AO’s horizontally scalable on-chain computing, that lets users create AI-powered game experiences, avatars and interoperable game assets.
