Mythical Games to Build Mythos Chain on Sam Altman’s World Chain to Tackle Bots

Human verification will gate key features to reduce bot abuse.

Overview

  • Mythical announced on Oct. 30 that it will launch Mythos Chain as the first layer-3 built atop World Chain, a layer-2 network on Ethereum.
  • World ID’s proof-of-humanity will verify Mythical’s 17 million players, restricting access to tournaments and asset marketplaces to human accounts.
  • By leveraging World Chain, the new layer maintains Ethereum security and finality while targeting cheaper, faster transactions for gameplay.
  • Mythos Chain will prioritize blockspace for verified users to curb automated traffic and help manage costs inflated by bots.
  • Mythical plans to move game assets and marketplaces onto the new stack with EVM compatibility, with further rollout details to follow.
