Fantasy Top Completes Migration to Base, Launches Free-to-Play V3 Experience

San Francisco, CA – Fantasy Top, the popular Web3 fantasy card game, has officially completed its migration to the Base blockchain, marking a significant strategic shift from its initial launch on the Blast network. The move, announced on social media by the game's official account, promises a "faster, smoother, and fully upgraded gaming experience" for its player base. This transition coincides with the launch of Fantasy v3, which introduces a redesigned Free-to-Play (F2P) model aimed at simplifying onboarding and attracting new users to the platform.

The game, which gamifies the social media engagement of crypto influencers (dubbed "Heroes"), allows players to collect NFT cards representing these personalities. Players then build lineups, and their scores are determined by the real-time social media performance and engagement metrics of their chosen Heroes on platforms like X (formerly Twitter). This unique blend of fantasy sports and social finance has seen Fantasy Top gain considerable traction since its debut in May 2024, reportedly generating over $12 million in on-chain revenue and attracting 15,000 new players in a single day during its initial run on Blast.

The decision to migrate to Base, Coinbase's Layer 2 blockchain, is a strategic move to leverage a more active and scalable ecosystem. The migration process, which began on July 15, allowed players to bridge their existing game assets, including cards, ETH, WETH, and USDC, from Blast to the new network. This transition is expected to enhance the game's performance, reduce transaction costs, and potentially expand its reach within the broader Web3 gaming community.

As part of the v3 launch, the new Free-to-Play game is now live, designed specifically to welcome new users and streamline their entry into the core gameplay. This initiative reflects a broader trend in Web3 gaming to lower barriers to entry and make blockchain-based experiences more accessible to a mainstream audience. The game continues to offer various leagues and tournaments, with rewards for top performers, and has recently concluded its second "Clout Season," distributing significant ETH payouts to top-ranked creators and players.

Fantasy Top's continuous evolution, including the introduction of features like the "Clout" system (a point system based on social posts) and "Clout Pro" (an API tracking mindshare and engagement), underscores its commitment to innovation in the SocialFi gaming space. The game's developers aim to further integrate real-time social content performance into its mechanics, offering a dynamic and engaging experience for both seasoned Web3 enthusiasts and newcomers.
