Mythical Games Partners with World Chain to Launch First Layer 3 Blockchain

Mythical Games is teaming up with World Chain to introduce what it calls the first layer 3 blockchain, a move designed to make online gaming more secure, transparent, and human-focused.

Good to Know

• The new MYTHOS blockchain will use World ID, a proof-of-human system that verifies real players.
• The integration aims to improve matchmaking, leaderboards, and transaction fairness.
• The partnership emphasizes a human-first gaming environment that protects against AI interference.

The collaboration integrates World’s proof-of-human technology into Mythical’s ecosystem, ensuring that in-game activities and digital ownership remain authentic. Built on World Chain’s Ethereum-based layer 2 infrastructure, the layer 3 MYTHOS blockchain will connect human-verified players across multiple games and marketplaces while reducing transaction costs.

John Linden, CEO of Mythical Games, explained how the partnership fits into the company’s broader mission:

“Our goal is to make every player – whether in FIFA Rivals, Pudgy Party, or NFL Rivals – part of a verified global economy where digital ownership and fair play are guaranteed. By integrating World ID, we can connect millions of players through secure, human-verified accounts that move seamlessly across games, marketplaces, and rewards. Together, we’re scaling proof of human and on-chain utility to build the largest, most inclusive digital gaming economy in the world.”

Tackling AI-Driven Challenges

As artificial intelligence becomes more common in gaming, developers have struggled to differentiate between real users and bots. Mythical’s proof-of-human system directly addresses this issue by verifying real players and ensuring that achievements, rankings, and rewards reflect genuine performance.

Ajay Patel, Head of World ID at Tools for Humanity, said the technology restores fairness to the gaming experience:

“AI is transforming gaming, but it’s also blurring the line between players and bots. Proof of human restores trust to that equation. By integrating it into Mythical’s ecosystem, we’re giving millions of gamers the ability to prove they’re real – and ensuring that ownership, creativity, and competition all remain human. This is how we keep gaming fair and the future of entertainment truly human-first.”
