B3 Launches First Gaming Chain Built on the XRPL EVM B3 and XRPL Commons debut the first AppChain gaming experience, enabling users to play games, earn, and bring real-world utility to $XRP NEW YORK – September 2, 2025 – B3, the consumer AppChain network, together with @xrpl_commons, today announced the XRPL Gamechain, the first dedicated gaming ecosystem built on the XRPL EVM sidechain. By combining the XRP Ledger (XRPL)’s low fees, scalability, and native NFT/DEX capabilities with B3’s proven pipeline of top-tier Web2 and Web3 developers, the XRPL Gamechain unlocks unprecedented opportunities for liquidity and user adoption, offering real traction through mobile-first experiences for developers, creators, players, and communities. The partnership brings robust, proven consumer infrastructure to the largest token ecosystem in crypto, expanding the XRP community and providing utility for $XRP holders, while positioning the XRPL as a home for consumer crypto adoption. Xcade, XRPL Gamechain’s user-facing platform goes live on testnet today and features five playable titles designed for quick, mobile-friendly sessions and seamless onboarding. For existing XRP holders, Xcade introduces a direct way to use, earn, and interact with the token. For new users, it eliminates onboarding friction and creates a low barrier to entry into the XRP ecosystem, making it easier than ever to become an active participant. “With Basement, we proved that if you make crypto fun, easy, and rewarding, people will play,” said Daryl Xu, CEO of NPC Labs. “Building on this foundation, we are launching Xcade to jumpstart a thriving consumer ecosystem built around XRP. By launching the experience as a B3 AppChain, we’re creating the foundation where anyone can build, play, and earn, unlocking real utility for XRP at global scale.” B3’s ecosystem - including their flagship consumer gaming platform Basement - has already onboarded over 8.5 million wallets, driven hundreds of millions of transactions, and features 100+ games, including AAA titles. This proven formula with a sustainable play-to-earn mechanic will enable the XRPL to instantly onboard many new users, allowing them to earn $XRP while driving new utility for the token. XRPL Gamechain users can complete challenges, earn XRP-based rewards, and access progression across multiple games without a complicated wallet setup or technical barriers. Transactions will settle on the XRPL EVM while maintaining user liquidity onchain, creating sustained, real-world utility for $XRP and $RLUSD by powering in-game economies, secondary markets, and cross-chain interoperability. Additionally, $RLUSD will emerge as the preferred stablecoin across the entire B3 ecosystem, providing payments and rewards without the risk of volatility. This ecosystem is enabled by the XRPL’s recent expansion with the EVM sidechain, which opens greater composability and programmability, rapidly evolving the XRPL into a broader financial infrastructure for tokenization and diverse applications. “As blockchain gaming becomes a core pillar of Web3, the XRPL Gamechain represents the next wave of consumer crypto adoption: scalable, mobile-first, and powered by real users,” said Odelia Torteman, Director of Corporate Adoption at XRPL Commons. “More than just launching a new tech project, we’re inviting users to rewrite the rules of gaming culture.” The full XRPL Gamechain experience is expected to launch this fall.
