Game Plus Collaborates with Babylon to Pioneer the Future of Bitcoin Gaming and Social Ecosystem
Game Plus is the infrastructure for the first on-chain gaming project based on Bitcoin and a pioneer Bitcoin on-chain gaming ecosystem with social attributes. In the future, many more Bitcoin gaming projects will be deployed on the Game Plus network.
By providing a comprehensive L2 and SDK gaming solution, Game Plus leverages the security and powerful community of Bitcoin as its foundation. Through collaboration with Babylon, Game Plus ensures the fairness and verifiability of game results, significantly enhancing the user experience within the Bitcoin gaming ecosystem.
Game Plus is designed to serve core gaming infrastructure needs on BTC chain, building on Optimistic Stack + ZK Fraud Proof Layer 2 architecture. Game Plus is secured through Babylon staking for ensured verifiability, while offering 0 transaction fee gaming layer through zk State Channels. Our modular yet powerful SDKs to deploy on BTC, include on-chain asset management, wallet abstraction, real-time indexer and many others, provides superior integration opportunities to game developers. Our team of experienced game designers, blending casual and AAA gaming industry expertise with startup innovation, is set to launch several socially engaging, fun-to-play games after mainnet launch.
Babylon
Babylon is the leading Layer 1 blockchain in the Bitcoin ecosystem, consisting of Bitcoin’s secure shared protocols. The protocol comprises two aspects: Bitcoin timestamp and Bitcoin staking.
- Bitcoin Timestamp, this feature timestamps events of other blockchains onto Bitcoin, so that these events can enjoy Bitcoin timestamps in the same way as Bitcoin transactions. This effectively borrows Bitcoin’s security as a timestamping server.
- Bitcoin Staking Protocol: This protocol allows Bitcoin holders to securely stake Bitcoin without the need to trust any third-party applications. The staking does not require bridging Bitcoin to PoS chains, encapsulating, or any custody, allowing users to have full self-custody and achieve unprecedented Bitcoin PoS rewards.
Through the realization and application of these two key technologies, Babylon has made a tremendous contribution to creating a richer and more secure Bitcoin ecosystem, while also providing more possibilities for the entire blockchain world.
Game Plus Technology
Our technology is designed to make game development accessible to everyone, whether you are a crypto-native developer or a traditional game developer. Our platform includes a comprehensive set of tools that simplify blockchain interactions, especially those based on Bitcoin native standards. One of the main challenges in current Bitcoin infrastructure projects are high fees and slow transaction times. We address this by targeting extremely low fees and fast transaction times.
To achieve these goals, we utilize zkRollup architecture and a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) network secured through Babylon restaking. The OP Stack and ZK Fraud Proof architecture play a crucial role in our system. They help us reduce transaction waiting times while keeping costs low. This approach offers better performance capabilities than pure optimistic solutions, delivering a superior experience for users.
By fully leveraging Zero-Knowledge (ZK) technology and optimistic aggregation, our solution ensures faster transaction processing, lower fees, and stronger privacy protection. This combination brings new energy to the decentralized ecosystem, offering both technical and general readers a clear understanding of our innovative approach to blockchain-based game development.

Game Plus Ecosystem Game
Game Plus is the leading BTC on-chain gaming platform, designed to make blockchain integration easy and accessible for game companies. Our simple, modular interfaces allow developers to integrate blockchain technology without needing extensive low-level technical expertise.
By adopting advanced OP Stack and ZK Fraud Proof technologies, we have significantly reduced transaction fees for on-chain interactions. This makes the on-chain gaming experience much more user-friendly and suitable for both game users and developers.
Game Plus is at the forefront, crafting a superior gaming ecosystem rooted in the Bitcoin (BTC) Chain. From casual to hyper casual and social games, Game Plus offers a diverse range of gaming experiences tailored to specific player demographics. We have planned four unique on-chain games, each slated for a testnet launch between Q3 & Q4 of 2024.
These games include:
- Gold Miner is a casual mining game with social sharing features. Players stake inscriptions to earn DB, with rewards determined by the rarity and level of their inscriptions. They use DB to engage in mining activities, where they can mine GP and upgrade gems to boost their inscriptions, thereby increasing their staking value and DB earnings.
- Fishing Master is a relaxing fishing game set in the Bitcoin ecosystem. Players use various baits and rods, each influencing the type and value of fish caught. The game dynamically adjusts based on players’ Twitter content preferences, offering a unique fishing experience where rare fish appear under specific conditions.
- Pixel Battle is a creative strategy game where players purchase pixel squares arranged in rings, with prices varying by location. Players can design on these squares and share their creations on Twitter for recognition and rewards. The game’s economic dynamic adds a strategic element, as new buyers provide dividends to previous ones.
- Galactic Clash is a deep strategy simulation game set in space. Players collect resources, form interstellar fleets, and participate in real-time PVP battles. They can devise their own strategies and customize their fleets’ weapon configurations to outsmart opponents.
In addition to these in-house games, over 10 Game Studios are utilizing our technical interfaces to develop and debug the blockchain aspects of their games. We expect a consistent release of hyper-casual, casual, and social games within the Game Plus ecosystem throughout 2024 and 2025.
