Mini-games are no longer a side quest, they’re becoming the primary touchpoint for the next billion users entering Web3.
That’s why we’re excited to announce a partnership with PlaysOut, the world’s leading mini game platform and SDK for Web2.5-native mini-games. Built for scale, seamlessly embeddable, and already tapping into billions of users via super apps, PlaysOut is the infrastructure layer turning casual gaming into a global, onchain standard.
And together, we’re making mini-games smarter, fairer, and verifiably real — powered by the Nexus world supercomputer.
Nexus L1: Where games go onchain
PlaysOut is collaborating with Nexus to bring mini-games fully onchain, enabling:
Provably fair gameplay – Integrating zk proofs for randomness, anti-cheat, and skill-based matchmaking.
True asset ownership – With Nexus L1 and zkVM, every in-game asset, interaction, and outcome is verifiable, without sacrificing UX.
Tokenized IP, DeFi integrations and beyond – From collectibles to creator royalties, we’re exploring ways to bring gaming IP onchain with programmable logic and financial rails built-in.
With PlaysOut’s multi-engine SDK and Nexus’ programmable zkVM, game developers can build trustless game logic and distribute instantly, whether on Android, web, or inside embedded super apps.
Games-as-infrastructure
PlaysOut isn’t just a platform, it’s how games become native internet experiences.
Developers can publish with a click
Games plug directly into embedded traffic sources
Monetize with ads, tokens, or in-game items
Compatible with Unity, PixiJS, Cocos, and more
And now, by building on Nexus, developers get access to native zk integrations, programmable onchain logic, and access to a new generation of trust-minimized infrastructure.
Why this matters
Mini-games have dominated mobile-first markets like China (a $6B+ segment). Now, PlaysOut is going global, and bringing thousands of mini-games directly to Nexus.
But casual games aren’t casual infrastructure. These touchpoints, millions of sessions per day, are a powerful entry point for trust, identity, and economic onramps. Embedding verifiability at this layer doesn’t just level-up gaming — it hardens the entire app ecosystem.
As AI agents and apps begin to interface with players, proof of outcome, randomness, and value will become essential. Together, PlaysOut and Nexus are making that possible, without tradeoffs.
