Laguna Labs unveils new fully onchain game Neo Olympus

Having handed over the development and operations of Crypto Unicorns to its community via a DAO, Laguna Labs has now moved on to work on a new project.

As a recap, Crypto Unicorns was one of the first titles to launch successfully on Polygon in early 2022, but has been in sharp decline since, something its recent migration to gaming L3 blockchain Xai couldn’t halt.

Described as its “second economic network” following Crypto Unicorns, the new initiative is called Neo Olympus. A fully onchain game running on the new B3 gaming blockchain, the game will use Lattice’s MUD framework. Its fully onchain game world consists of Mecha Gods and Titan Kaiju clashing in a futuristic setting where players strategically choose sides and build alliances.

Initially deploying on Base blockchain-based B3 network, Neo Olympus will eventually expand to multiple chains in order to be easily accessible and interoperable. Laguna Labs is also preparing the launch of an OLYMPUS token.

Gearing up for its inaugural mint in January 2025, the Neo Olympus assets utilize the DN-404 token standard, a cross between ERC20 and ERC721, which “effectively combines the liquidity of memecoins with NFTs.” 

This means the game’s token will have its total supply locked within a DEX liquidity pool to ensure a fair launch, with trading of the liquidity pool enabled via fractional NFTs of that liquidity.
