Open Loot has officially launched OL Chain, a new Layer 3 chain designed to drive the future of Web3 gaming with a focus on transparency, scalability, and security. Built on Base chain, OL Chain aims to ensure that every trade, transaction, and in-game interaction occurs on-chain, making all activities verifiable and accessible to everyone within the ecosystem.
At the moment, the Open Loot ecosystem consists of three games:
Big Time: A Time-traveling dungeon crawler with deep loot mechanics and high-end visuals
Worldshards: ACozy MMO meets high-skill combat in a vibrant player-driven world
Moonfrost: A beautifully crafted life-sim blending farming, romance, and economic depth
What OL Chain Offers
Real-Time Transactions:OL Chain enables trades, marketplace interactions, and in-game transactions to settle instantly, providing a smooth, uninterrupted gaming experience.
Low Costs:The network features ultra-low gas fees and will operate with no fees at launch, eliminating one of the major barriers for mainstream gamers and developers.
Seamless Integration:Since OL Chain is built on the Base ecosystem, it connects directly to an extensive network of Web3 tools, services, and communities, simplifying the onboarding and scaling process for studios.
Ethereum-Level Security:By leveraging Ethereum’s base layer, OL Chain ensures that every transaction is secure, auditable, and tamper-resistant.
For Players, Developers, and the Ecosystem
For players, OL Chain provides an experience similar to traditional Web2 games—no complex wallet setup, minimal fees, and fast, transparent interactions. Players can trade, craft, and own their in-game assets while knowing that all activities are recorded on-chain for complete transparency.
For developers, OL Chain offers optional gas sponsorship, allowing studios to cover transaction fees for their players. This feature makes onboarding easier, encourages higher player retention, and improves gameplay.
For $OL token holders, OL Chain enhances utility and long-term value. The token is the foundation of the Open Loot ecosystem, connecting game activity, marketplace volume, and creator rewards into a unified system.
About the $OL Token
According to the Open Loot Wiki, the $OL token serves as the core currency of the Open Loot platform, supporting functions such as governance, staking, and ecosystem incentives. Key uses include:
Transaction Utility: $OL powers transactions across the OL marketplace and partner games.
Governance: Holders can participate in decision-making related to ecosystem updates and community proposals.
Rewards & Growth: Active participants in the ecosystem may receive rewards tied to gameplay, trading activity, and community engagement.
The token also plays a significant role in sustaining economic loops for both players and creators, aligning incentives across the entire gaming ecosystem.
Open Loot VIP Tiers: Exclusive Benefits for Active Users
To further reward engagement, Open Loot introduced a VIP Tier System, giving users exclusive privileges based on their recent activity and $OL holdings.
The system uses two primary metrics:
30-Day Open Loot Activity Score:
Calculated as a weighted total of all marketplace activity from the past 30 days. Purchases made using $OL count 30% more toward the score.
30-Day Average $OL Balance:
Determined by calculating the daily minimum $OL balance in each user’s account and averaging these values over 30 days.
A user’s VIP tier is determined by the lower of these two metrics. Higher tiers unlock better rewards and greater perks.
VIP Tier Benefits Include:
Transaction discounts on marketplace purchases (applies to payments made in $OL).
Discounted rates on limited-time premium currency packs.
Access to special airdrops and exclusive NFT sales.
Increased voting power for community decisions and platform feature votes.
Exclusive in-game bonuses, such as additional Hourglass Slots in Big Time and other partner titles.
VIP data updates daily based on the past 30 days of activity, meaning any transaction today affects tomorrow’s tier and benefits.
$OL Token Distribution and Vesting Plan
Open Loot has introduced the $OL token with a fair and transparent distribution model that prioritizes community ownership. In line with its commitment to decentralization, no tokens are reserved for the Open Loot team or private investors, ensuring that all value flows directly to users, partners, and ecosystem growth.
Token Allocation
The total supply of 5 billion $OL tokens will be divided into three main categories that support the platform’s long-term sustainability and reward structure:
User Rewards (50%)Half of the total supply is dedicated to rewarding players, creators, and studios participating in the Open Loot ecosystem. These rewards will be distributed through in-game events, player engagement programs, and reward campaigns designed to encourage active participation.
Marketing and Community (20%)One-fifth of the supply is allocated for promotional activities, community initiatives, and pre-launch reward programs. This includes campaigns where users earned OLRP before the official $OL token release, helping to grow awareness and strengthen community involvement.
Treasury and Ecosystem Growth (30%)The remaining tokens will support ecosystem expansion, liquidity provisioning, and treasury reserves. This allocation ensures stability, long-term funding, and strategic partnerships that enhance the Open Loot environment.
Vesting and Unlock Schedule
The maximum supply of 5 billion $OL tokens will be released gradually over time, in alignment with ongoing user rewards, marketing campaigns, and ecosystem grants. Tokens will unlock continuously rather than all at once, promoting a sustainable and steady growth model.
The vesting schedule is structured to maintain long-term value and prevent market oversupply, as shown in the accompanying chart. This model allows Open Loot to balance reward distribution while ensuring that token emissions align with platform growth and user activity.
Transparency and Open Data
In keeping with its commitment to full transparency, Open Loot provides an OL Chain Explorer where anyone can view real-time data, transactions, and wallet activity: OL Chain Explorer. Early activity on the chain reflects internal testing and the onboarding phases for partner studios. Open Loot emphasizes that transparency, fairness, and sustainability are integral to OL Chain’s design.
With the launch of OL Chain, Open Loot is placing itself at the forefront of blockchain gaming infrastructure. By combining the scalability of Base, the security of Ethereum, and the ease of Web2-like gameplay, the platform bridges the gap between traditional gaming and blockchain gaming, creating a transparent, fast, and fair digital economy for all.
