Proof of Play is a blockchain infrastructure and web3 game company focused solely on fully on-chain games. It's most known for Pirate Nation, a fully onchain open world. It raised 33 million from a16z and GreenOaks.
I built much of the backend infrastructure that would later become our de facto product offering as we transitioned to an infrastructure company. This included Gas-less Relayers, Verified Randomness Functions as a service, cross-chain game item marketplaces and on going development of the smart contract based game engine, Mage.
Mage autogenerated, deployed and managed over 300 Ethereum smart contracts via Entity-Component-System design patterns. Having been battle-tested during the height of our game's success - processing more transactions on chain than Ethereum, Base and others combined (measured in Mgas at rollup.wtf), the backend technology we built for Pirate Nation would eventually become the company's core expertise.
