Summary
Crypto gaming news: Legendary Heroes Unchained migrates from Ethereum to Base
On September 5, 2024, “Legendary Heroes Unchained”, a gaming project developed on top of Ethereum, announced for the first time the migration to the Base network.
The choice of this transition is motivated by the desire to offer a more flexible and efficient playing space compared to the original one.
The main limitation of the Ethereum blockchain is indeed that of scalability. The fees are too expensive and the transactions are excessively slow.
On Base, however, which still relies on the security of the main L1, we find significantly low gas fees and high throughput.
For the gaming industry, it is essential to allow players a smooth, economical, and seamless experience.
As Legendary Heroes Unchained grows, the scalable architecture of Base ensures the possibility to expand to a larger user base.
Furthermore, the Base chain proves to be a suitable place for the presence of developers who can offer their contribution with updates and new features.
In this transition, all NFT game resources will be automatically transferred to the new network without the need to go through specific bridges.
The LHU team, announcing the big news on their blog post, expressed their enthusiasm loudly by stating the following words:
“We are laying the foundations for a more robust and engaging ecosystem that allows you, our community, to own your heroes and be part of something legendary.”
Now’s your time, Loyals!

A flexible and engaging on-chain gaming experience: Legendary Heroes Unchained chooses Base
As mentioned, the migration of Legendary Heroes Unchained to Base will unlock a new standard of gaming that is significantly more engaging.
At the moment at the center of LHU are the lands and the digital primitives of the heroes: players can freely create, evolve, and reimagine their own space.
The new on-chain experience goes far beyond the acquisition of resources, resulting in a true agency where users have real control over the game options.
Players can customize heroes and lands with unique statistics, attributes, and visuals, creating a unique experience.
Thanks to the presence of Base, new tools and game modes are introduced, with innovative NFT mechanics and engaging strategy opportunities.
The whole will be accompanied by network transactions that are instantaneous and with very few interruptions, ensuring complete immersion in the gaming world.
As the Ages of LHU progress, players will be able to extend their resources to personal narratives and even external games, building connections that last beyond each individual experience.
Let’s talk about a gameplay never seen before, with the resources of Legendary Heroes Unchained that can be shaped freely according to one’s own tastes.
The only limit is creativity.
A game driven by the Base network community
Very important to also highlight how the arrival on Base also involves a code change for Legendary Heroes Unchained.
The gaming studio N3TWORK has indeed announced that it is making part of the gaming software open source, in the public domain of the community.
This move helps make everything more decentralized, giving the users themselves the keys in hand for the future of the project.
The developers of the community can therefore contribute to the evolution of LHU itself with their own creations and ideas.
We remind you that Legendary Heroes Unchained was built with Unity WebGL, which is a public library for rendering 3D and 2D graphics.
The game has been designed without download, with a revolutionary experience for Web desktop and mobile devices, secure and incredibly easy to use.
For the onboarding of fiat currencies within the web3 world, the game serves providers like Coinbase Smart Wallet, Reown (formerly WalletConnect), and FortePay.
This ensures a fast and secure payment experience, capable of supporting the great success of gaming products linked to the blockchain.
In spreading the news, Julius Hong, executive producer of N3TWORK Studios, stated the following:
“Being the first game of The Legendary Ecosystem, LHU embodies our belief that the future of games lies in collaboration, creation, and the evolution of experiences made both with and for the community.”
The next stages of Legendary Heroes Unchained
The migration to the Base network represents only the first step of a much deeper evolution by Legendary Heroes Unchained.
The gaming product is indeed within EPOCH 1 of its roadmap, with the current phase defined as “Age of Heroes”.
In the next EPOCH, named “Age of Guilds,” the game will focus on the complete decentralization of lands and resources. It will allow users to tokenize their corporation and will introduce the staking feature.
These improvements, expected for Q2 2025, anticipate EPOCH 3, which is identified as “Age of War”. The heroes will begin to command armies, the various factions will align, reaching the governance, and everything will be reshaped.
Everything will be connected with blockchain metadata, so that nothing will be lost and it will be forever immortalized in a distributed public database.
Finally, in EPOCH 4, called “Age of Creation,” a DAO will be definitively introduced to manage the governance of the gaming project.
The entire ecosystem will be modified based on future narratives, and there will be an innovative shift in the open source field.
