While every one of us are busy playing MoonKarts and Stakehouse Den, we forgot to remember the fundamentals of these games -> The Arcade Colony platform. I bet this time, we must think beyond the games. Arcade Colony is a modern, web-based platform that empowers both new and legacy games to embed Web3 features—such as tokens, NFTs, renting, trading, rewards, and governance—while maintaining their original gameplay structure. Resembling major storefronts like Steam or Google Play, Arcade Colony enables titles to step into the Web3 ecosystem without starting from scratch.
Backed by Invennium Corp—a Splinterlands‑owned studio with billions of on‑chain transactions—Arcade Colony grants developers access to one of the largest Web3 player communities in existence. Publishers can choose varying levels of integration: from simple directory listing for visibility to full ecosystem support, including marketplace listing, token reward systems, payment integration, and even full economic architecture guidance.
At the heart of Arcade Colony lie two native tokens:
- COLONY, the governance token that powers staking, rewards distribution, trading fees, and platform governance
- SCRIPT, a stable, product‑backed currency pegged to roughly $1 USD, minted via burning of COLONY tokens to serve as spending currency within the ecosystem
What are the roles / objectives / goals of Arcade Colony platform?
- A searchable game directory
- Player‑driven NFT and token marketplace
- Publisher‑managed in‑game shop
- Cross‑game asset wallet and transaction history
- Smart contract support for minting, transfers, and rental
- DAO‑based governance built atop COLONY tokens
I think in a year, we will see more of clearer picture of what Arcade Colony will become. It has started now, with the robust games being built right now on top of Hive blockchain. We will see more of Arcade Colony in the coming months.
