This proposal focuses on attracting infrastructure developers and builders to enhance the Superchain by leveraging existing OSS Game Development Frameworks (GDFs) or crafting new ones to accelerate deployments and reduce onchain integration friction. This mission aims to offer flexible deployment options within the Superchain and to strengthen the ecosystem's infrastructure, increasing the number of high-quality applications and developers, and ultimately positioning the Superchain as a leading onchain platform.

What is required to execute this Mission Request?

• OSS Game Development Frameworks (GDFs) already available in the OP chains to incentivize their integration into Superchain Video Games with growth grants.

• Protocol Teams or Developers to build new GDFs or infrastructure to accelerate the game development in the Superchain.

• Public data about GDFs adoption.

• Increase promotion of GDFs available in the Superchain.

How should governance participants measure impact upon completion of this Mission Request?

Milestones

• RFP issuance and GFS, tools, and infra teams selection.

• Set a Growth grants distribution calendar for GFS, tools, and infra available in the Superchain.

• Promote GFS, tools, and Infra, offering Growth incentives

• Track progress of new GFS, tools, and infra in the Superchain.

• Coordinate the launch campaign in the Superchain for new GFS, tools, and infra.

Metrics

• Number of Superchain GDFs, tools, and infra repositories.

• Number of developers building GDFs, tools, and infra in the Superchain.

• Number of game studios, teams, or developers actively building with Superchain GDFs.

• Number of games' smart contracts deployed in the Superchain.
