Los Angeles — A significant alliance is brewing in the gaming world, as the Mythos Foundation, driving the Mythos blockchain gaming and entertainment ecosystem, joins forces with Polkadot.

Mythos, alongside its key ally Mythical Games, has announced its strategic partnership with Polkadot, promising to onboard over 5 million players into the Polkadot ecosystem, thus significantly enhancing its gaming potential.

As part of this new strategic relationship, the Mythos Chain, previously a permissioned EVM-based blockchain, will migrate to the Polkadot ecosystem as a parachain. Thanks to Polkadot’s flexible EVM module, the Mythos Chain will maintain address compatibility with the EVM and allow builders to fully leverage the strength of the WebAssembly-based Substrate framework.

This will open up a world of technical possibilities for building the next mainstream applications on Polkadot. As part of the migration, MYTH will also move to Polkadot to leverage its advanced cross-chain functionality, including native XCM and decentralized bridges like Snowbridge.

John Linden, CEO of Mythical Games, expressed his enthusiasm, saying:
“Mythos has formed a transformative partnership with Polkadot, which is set to immensely benefit both blockchain ecosystems, as well as the entire Web3 gaming community.”

The proposal outlines a plan for MYTH token distribution, with 10,000,000 tokens going directly to DOT holders, while the remaining 5,000,000 MYTH tokens will be allocated for ecosystem incentives and grants.

As part of this partnership, the Mythos Chain will migrate to the Polkadot ecosystem as a parachain, leveraging Polkadot’s flexible EVM module. Linden further noted, “As a result of this new partnership, I expect Mythos will continue to grow immensely thanks to the impressive technological and community bases of the two collaborative ecosystems.”

The migration of Mythos to Polkadot will bring over 750,000 active wallets from the Mythos Chain and more than 5 million users to Polkadot, making it one of the largest blockchain ecosystems for gaming. This move is expected to set a precedent for other projects to leverage the benefits of Polkadot.
