Play to onboard billions of users to via Koni Stack’s Telegram Mini App-as-a-Service

Koni Stack, the platform accelerating the next generation of decentralized Web3 applications (dApps) with unified end-to-end solutions, has announced an innovative partnership with Mythical Games to launch Football Rivals, a new toss-up game designed for bringing billions of Telegram users into the Polkadot ecosystem. The game is built using Koni Stack’s groundbreaking mini-app SDK, which simplifies the development and deployment of mini-apps for Telegram, creating an easy entry point for players to the world of blockchain.

Inspired by NFL Rivals, a popular game from Mythical Games with over six million active players, Football Rivals combines engaging stats-based gameplay with the power of Web3. Players use digital cards with player statistics to compete in weekly challenges where top players get opportunities to earn exclusive MYTH rewards on the Mythos chain. The game will be easily accessible to billions of users, making it one of the most accessible and user-friendly blockchain gaming experiences to date.

Leveraging the global Telegram user base, Football Rivals is poised to introduce billions of new players to the Polkadot ecosystem. This collaboration between Koni Stack, Mythical Games and Polkadot creates a brand new use case for the blockchain ecosystem, offering a seamless experience that bridges the gap between Web2 platforms and the decentralized world.

Koni Stack, developed by the team behind SubWallet – a leading wallet in the Polkadot ecosystem – is designed to simplify the onboarding process for users to Web3 via a developer-friendly SDK. Focusing on user-friendly interfaces, SubWallet first transformed access to Polkadot with its user-friendly wallet. Now, through its Telegram mini-app-as-a-service, Koni Stack helps developers create seamless low-code mini-apps, enabling Telegram’s billions of users to seamlessly interact with dApps and blockchain-based experiences.

“We are thrilled to partner with Mythical Games to bring Football Rivals to billions of users on Telegram by leveraging Koni Stack’s mini app SDK,” said Hieu Dao, CEO of SubWallet and Koni Stack“This partnership not only demonstrates the scalability of Polkadot, but also opens a new path for mainstream adoption of blockchain technology. Through Football Rivals, we simplify user onboarding and create a fun, accessible way for players to interact with Polkadot.”

Known for its innovative approach to gaming and Web3, Mythical Games has already made a significant impact with NFL Rivals with FIFA Rivals and Play Pudgy, scheduled to launch in 2025. With Football Rivals, Mythical Games plans to expand the reach of blockchain game further by leveraging Telegram’s large user base, which has close to 1 billion active users worldwide. The game provides an easy entry into the blockchain world for users with no prior Web3 experience.

“We are excited to join forces with Koni Stack to bring Football Rivals to Telegram,” said John Linden, CEO of Mythical Games. “Using Polkadot’s robust ecosystem and Koni Stack’s mini-app SDK, we’re making it easier than ever for billions of players to get started with blockchain gaming. Our goal is to introduce new players to Web3 in a way that feels seamless and fun, and this partnership helps make that a reality. After Football Rivals, we look forward to bringing FIFA Rivals and Play Pudgy to Telegram as well.”

As Football Rivals takes off, it has the potential to drive increased on-chain activity on Polkadot, bringing billions of users to decentralized platforms. The game’s integration with Telegram, combined with Polkadot’s scalability and interoperability, positions it as a powerful tool to introduce the next generation of users to blockchain technology.
