Today, The Arena opens up the potential for expansion into gaming with the acquisition of @arcade2earn
Arcade is a GameFi platform built on Avalanche, offering a chain-agnostic approach to Play-to-Earn games. Letting users access and manage rewards across multiple P2E titles.
This brings The Arena stronger ties to gaming titles, creators, and communities across the space.
There will be a transition taking place over the coming months, with updates to follow.
Another exciting chapter for The Arena - more creators, more games, more communities.
Huge to see @TheArena mobile app go live on IOS!
Many people don’t know it’s EXTREMELY hard to get approved right now because Apple is super backed up with all the vibe coded apps being built and submitted.
Have you downloaded the app yet?
Tell me about your experience 👇
Something massive is coming.
A shift. A surprise. A new direction that will take Arcade — and everyone holding $ARC — somewhere bigger than anything we’ve done before.
We can’t reveal what’s happening just yet… but trust us: You’ll want to be ready.
As we prepare for this next evolution, we’ll begin winding down current platform operations starting today. Make sure your $ARC is in your own self-custody wallet — this will matter.
Coming early 2026.
A new era is loading… ⚡🚀
🚀 Week in GameFi: PSG1 Solana Console Ships in October, Sandbox Downsizes.

Let’s unpack the biggest moves in GameFi this week. 🧵

New ai mission pools will be coming soon to @arcade2earn 👾
We’re experimenting with ways to further gamify how our community earns from MPs, so with AIMPs you’ll work as a community to feed decisions into an LLM (starting w/ Grok) to determine outcomes and rewards on gamefied scenarios. Your voice can be heard via discord, twitter, etc and the most popular decisions will be taken. Make the right decisions and your odds of rewards goes up. Make the wrong decisions and you may only leave with your initial contribution 👀
The rewards will be funded from our community incentives pool, which is regularly topped up by us.
Reminder: our fees that were previously allocated to the Legacy Vault are now being burned instead.
Let us cook 👨🍳 coming soon ™️
We’ve listened to your feedback and are excited to announce we’re migrating the $ARC token to @avax ✅
This upgrade will unlock multichain expansion for our platform and allows users to swap between $ARC >< $xARC without the bridge step.
Full details soon 👾
AVAXaligned 💚
My best estimate is that we're very rapidly approaching the point of maximum capitulation on web3 gaming (and alts more broadly). Yes, it's been sad seeing the many studio closures over the year. I empathize with the losses people have experienced. And the loss in confidence in this new paradigm.
But I still believe gaming represents one of, if not the best use case for blockchain tech and crypto. There's a natural synergy with game economies, and real value ownership and capture. The quality teams (like Star Atlas) that have endured have not been resting on their laurels waiting for better market conditions. They've been building. They've been following their dream, and preparing themselves for releases, campaigns, and genuine sustainable growth. This consolidation to quality is going to lead to unfathomable success for those that have made it to this point.
Speaking for Star Atlas, I have incredible conviction that we are sitting on a powder keg. Our development velocity has only accelerated with time. We are positioned with game experiences catering to an insanely wide audience. We have a balanced and rewarding game economy that's been running smoothly for years. We have tokenomics with some of the best fundamentals I've seen in any web3 game. The smallest spark is going to ignite the engines, not to the moon, but to the next galaxy.
Until then, we keep grinding.
We’re proud to partner with games like @staratlas and, more recently, @flufworld The Third Kingdom, to bring you diverse Mission Pool options. Stake your $ARC and dive into Web3 gaming rewards!
At Arcade, we’ve been loving Boss Fighters for a while now, and we’re thrilled about the $BFTOKEN launch and the team’s exciting work on the game! @BossFightersX
