Building Autonomous Worlds on @taikoxyz's parallel L2s. Second game is on the way🥷! Play our first game at

全链游戏的想法是游戏产业的一次伟大的探索，虽然可能最后被证明不成功，也许成功的游戏需要一些其他的组合。但是谢谢你们，那段智慧闪耀、充满创意的时间，就像一颗种子，已经被深深植入参与其中的每一个人的记忆中。也许某一天 ... 谁知道呢。

还记得23年的时候，我和小伙伴第一次玩 OPCraft 感到的深深惊艳。后来我们在那个夏天，一行一行地弄懂了 Alvarius 写的代码（主要是 MUDv1 和 OPCraft），捣鼓着把它 fork 成了 Taikoverse，把 Taiko L2（当时还是 zk rollup）fork 成了乐观出块、速度极快并且 gas limit 非常高的 Taiko Degen Chain。

After five years, Lattice is winding down.

Redstone shuts down May 15, 2026 (23:59 UTC). If you have funds on Redstone, withdraw before then — especially anything held in contracts like Uniswap pools. After shutdown we'll deploy an L1 withdrawal contract for EOA balances, but funds in contracts won't be recoverable that way. Bridges in reply.

We started Lattice in 2021 to build Autonomous Worlds: virtual worlds with unchangeable onchain physics and deep player programmability on top. To make that possible, we built MUD, Redstone, Quarry, and Dozer.

We never managed to turn it into a sustainable business. By early 2025 runway was getting shorter.

Rather than wind down quietly, we spent the remainder on one final push: DUST (@dust_org), the autonomous world we'd always envisioned. Players built marketplaces, cities, transportation systems, even a newspaper. It validated our thesis about emergence, but it didn't reach the scale to sustain a business, and we didn't have conviction that raising VC was the right path.

What happens next:

- DUST has migrated to the DUST Chain (hosted by @conduitxyz, supported by the @Optimism Foundation). Same speed, same cost. Team members continue working on DUST and autonomous worlds through 0xPARC.

- MUD is feature complete, OpenZeppelin-audited, fully open source. The migration tool that moves entire worlds between chains is available to any MUD project.

- Quarry (Wiresaw, 7ms confirmations) and Dozer (high-performance MUD indexer) are now open source.

- Redstone shuts down May 15. Withdraw your funds.

Thank you to 0xPARC, the Ethereum Foundation, the Optimism Foundation, CCP Games, the Dark Forest team, and the early backers who believed in us. To everyone who built on MUD, used Redstone, or played zkDungeon, OPCraft, Sky Strife, or DUST. And to the team. Full credits in the post linked below.

If you were part of this in any way, thank you.

Taikoverse 也吸引了非常多的玩家构建，这个账号记录了当时我们运营它的情况，它给社区带来了很多快乐。后来我们花了很多很多时间去搞懂全链游戏的各种机制，比如深入研究了 Dark Forest，我们想基于类似的零知识证明机制，制作一款忍者 FOG，但是没有做到最后。

We are proud to announce we have been selected in the first rounds of the Taiko Community grant program. This will help us as we build our next game for the taiko community. We can't wait to share what we are building on @taikoxyz https://t.co/PFgpGhXmBf

[Taiko.eth 🥁 @taikoxyz]

@sporeforge is the gaming studio behind Taikoverse, a Minecraft-like game that was deployed on Taiko L3. The team is going to work on developing a second game for the Taiko community.

Hope you also share the same love for Taiko Ninjas as we do. We will provide regular updates on our progress. Please stay tuned for more information. 🫡

Our upcoming fully on-chain game, "Taiko War: Shadow of the Mist," is currently in intensive design and development. It is an RTS MMO that leverages ZK as the core mechanism. It will run on the modified Taiko game-specific rollup, Degen Testnet, the same as Taikoverse did.

[SporeForge @sporeforge]

On the other hand, Taiko always brings to mind elements of Japanese culture (including their team-building activities at ETH TOKYO's Japan Dojo, which was fantastic promotion).

[Taiko.eth 🥁 @taikoxyz]

This team seeks to deliver a decentralized, Ethereum-equivalent ZK-Rollup 🥷

[SporeForge @sporeforge]

Our next game is called Taiko War: Shadow of the Mist. It's a zk game with ninjas and assassination.

[SporeForge @sporeforge]

By the way, you will find all of them in our upcoming new game. It will be quite soonish. ⚓️🏴‍☠️

What is your favorite game mechanism in crypto games? Here are a few that our team enjoys.

[SporeForge @sporeforge]

zk-Wordle: Submitting an answer to a question without revealing the answer to earn an NFT as a reward. It can also be designed into treasure hunt games.

5/6 Taikoverse will continue to operate on the Degen testnet, and our upcoming games will run on this network. As we gear up to unveil a series of exciting games, we're putting our chain through rigorous battle testing to ensure it's fully ready before we launch the Degen mainnet
