See you on the Battleground, champ!
Today marks the launch of Loom Records! 💽🎶
Yes, we have decided to enter the music business to speed up blockchain adoption.
And we're honored to produce

Some of you have been asking... “Loom Network, why are you so focused on games?” 🤔
Because we think games will be THE KEY to onboarding MILLIONS of new users to Ethereum within the next six months.
We've just released a new course on in collaboration with

It has come to our attention that there's some confusion about the LOOM token supply across the Ethereum and BSC networks.
The LOOM token has a total supply of 1.3 billion, ~1 billion tokens are in active circulation on Ethereum, ~130 million are in active circulation on BSC.
Today we're proud to open source the smart contract we used for Zombie Battleground card ownership.
ERC721x is an upgraded ERC721 that allowed us to reduce the cost of sending 2 million cards by 6000x, while maintaining full backward compatibility.
Loom SDK Public Beta is now LIVE 🍾🎉🥳
That’s right. You’re pumped, we’re pumped.

We'll be giving TWO TALKS on the future of decentralized gaming & Plasma Cash on 📆 November 2nd @ 10am on the Prism Stage.
Typically, these talks fill up FAST, so please come early to save your seat! 🙂
On ZombieChain, developers will be able to:
- Deploy existing Ethereum smart contracts
- Improve UX with gas-less transactions and sub-second confirmation times
- Interoperate with Ethereum mainnet for secure storage of ERC721s
And more... check it out:
We’re partning with TrustWallet to make deeplinking possible on mobile. This will enable a new truly native dApps on mobile with a smooth user experience.

CryptoZombies Season 2 is now live, with a major surprise announcement!
We think THIS is going to be the real killer feature in blockchain gaming.
And with CryptoZombies, you can be one of the first to start building on it.
You don’t want to miss this:
"Of the top 100 tokens by market cap, 94% are built on top of Ethereum. Of the top 800 tokens, 87% are built on Ethereum."
Latest Ethereum usage stats from
@ConsenSys
show that Ethereum's adoption among developers isn't just growing — it's accelerating.
It’s been a while since we’ve written an article about our tech stack...
…and A LOT has changed since our last update 🤯
We’re now running THREE sidechains in production.
Come see what we’ve been up to:
When Plasma???
We're proud to announce development of Plasma Cash support on Loom Network DAppChains:
Users will be able to transfer assets to DAppChains without needing to put their trust in the DAppChain operators.

#DAppChains
' compatibility with
#Plasma
.
We do plan to support Plasma, but our initial focus is getting large-scale games running fully on-chain, with a relay to transfer ERC20/ERC721 assets to mainnet.
There are many open source projects in the space that make what we do at Loom possible.
We wanted to take the time to give a special shoutout to some of our favorite projects

Looking forward to audits and contributions from other developers so we can get it in production and take a big step forward with scaling!

@TrustNodes
Loom for example made an announcement already:
But we need more eyes critically auditing all of these projects, and demanding code, security model and proofs. For now English is fine, but we should be moving toward formal verification.
Just released the first mobile alpha build of Zombie Battleground to early backers. 🎉
It's running entirely on the blockchain, and you wouldn't even know it.
A massive step forward in both the blockchain and gaming industries!
(Backer-only update)
Loom is building a distributed enterprise platform for managing data — focused on healthcare providers and government departments.
Read the overview here:
We are now up to over 95 million LOOM staked.
That's 9.5% of the TOTAL supply, and over 14% of circulating — only 1 month after launching staking 🤯
Let's break that 100M barrier! If you haven't staked your LOOM yet, you can do so here:

Learn about ERC721x Multi-Fungible Tokens, why they’re a great fit for game items (even more so than their predecessor, ERC721), and how you can build them into your next game:
Developer pays hundreds of dollars in fees to deploy a smart contract. User pays double-digit transaction fees for every interaction with it. This is Ethereum today. Widespread adoption of L2 zkRollup systems can't come soon enough!
🚨 Heads up — We’ll soon be launching a Loom Wallet!

📢 LOOM is officially live on Binance Smart Chain as a BEP20 token!
You can now transfer LOOM between Ethereum and BSC via the Binance Bridge.

@BinanceChain
For a new blockchain platform that launches today, developers will be reluctant to use it until it has stood the test of time.
Meanwhile, Ethereum continues to race ahead in developer adoption... (And developers can get EOS functionality ON TOP of Ethereum with Loom 😉)
#Layer2
The ETH community is clearly biased against EOS, so the general negative sentiment is not surprising. But I will say this: I haven't spoken with a single dApp developer that has been seriously involved in Ethereum dApp development that is now shifting focus to EOS. Not one.

“Even though the game data is stored on the Blockchain—everything looks and feels EXACTLY like a regular mobile game. In other words, if you were to play Battleground without knowing it was a Blockchain game—you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference.”
When we set out to build a platform for bringing large-scale decentralized mobile games and social networks to the mainstream, Ethereum was by far the most obvious choice to build on top of.
Since we've enabled Ledger support, the amount of LOOM staked on PlasmaChain has more than doubled in the past week. Currently:
- 64,657,314 LOOM staked
- $4M in total value locked
- 6.47% of the total LOOM supply (~10% of circulating)
...in just over 2 weeks!
