Koni Stack Partners With Mythical Games To Launch ‘Football Rivals’ On Telegram | HackerNoon

Hanoi, Vietnam, January 14th, 2025/Chainwire/–Koni Stack, the platform that accelerates next-generation Web3 decentralized applications (dApps) with unified, end-to-end solutions, has announced an innovative partnership with Mythical Games to launch Football Rivals, a new toss-up game designed to bring billions of Telegram users into the Polkadot ecosystem.

The game is built using Koni Stack’s cutting-edge mini app SDK, which simplifies the development and deployment of mini apps for Telegram, creating an easy entry point for players into the world of blockchain.

Inspired by NFL Rivals, a popular game from Mythical Games with over six million active players, Football Rivals combines engaging stats-based gameplay with the power of Web3. Players use digital cards featuring player statistics to compete in weekly challenges, with top performers gaining opportunities to earn exclusive MYTH rewards on the Mythos Chain.

The game will be easily accessible to billions of users, making it one of the most accessible and user-friendly blockchain gaming experiences to date. By tapping into the global Telegram user base, Football Rivals is poised to introduce billions of new players to the Polkadot ecosystem. This collaboration between Koni Stack, Mythical Games, and Polkadot creates an entirely new use case for the blockchain ecosystem, offering a seamless experience that bridges Web2 platforms and the decentralized world.

Koni Stack, developed by the team behind SubWallet – a leading wallet in the Polkadot ecosystem – is designed to simplify the onboarding process for users into Web3 via a developer-friendly SDK. With a focus on user-friendly interfaces, SubWallet first transformed access to Polkadot with its easy-to-use wallet.

Now, through its Telegram mini app-as-a-service, Koni Stack is helping developers create seamless mini apps with low code thus enabling Telegram’s billions of users to seamlessly interact with dApps and blockchain-based experiences.

“We’re thrilled to collaborate with Mythical Games to bring Football Rivals to billions of users on Telegram, leveraging Koni Stack’s mini app SDK,” said Hieu Dao, CEO of SubWallet and Koni Stack, “This partnership not only demonstrates the scalability of Polkadot but also opens up a new avenue for mainstream adoption of blockchain technology. Through Football Rivals, we’re simplifying user onboarding and creating a fun, accessible way for players to engage with Polkadot.”

Mythical Games, known for its innovative approach to gaming and Web3, has already made a significant impact with NFL Rivals with FIFA Rivals and Play Pudgy scheduled to launch in 2025. With Football Rivals, Mythical Games plans to further expand the reach of blockchain gaming by tapping into Telegram’s vast user base, which has close to 1 billion active users worldwide. The game provides an easy entry point into the world of blockchain for users with no prior Web3 experience.

“We’re excited to join forces with Koni Stack to bring Football Rivals to Telegram,” said John Linden, CEO of Mythical Games. “By using Polkadot’s robust ecosystem and Koni Stack’s mini app SDK, we’re making it easier than ever for billions of players to get started with blockchain gaming. Our goal is to introduce new players to Web3 in a way that feels seamless and fun, and this partnership helps make that a reality. After Football Rivals, we’re looking forward to bringing FIFA Rivals and Play Pudgy to Telegram too.”

As Football Rivals takes off, it has the potential to drive increased on-chain activity on Polkadot, onboarding billions of users to decentralized platforms. The game’s integration with Telegram, combined with Polkadot’s scalability and interoperability, positions it as a powerful tool for introducing the next generation of users to blockchain technology.
