Top Ethereum-Based Gaming Project Killabears is Bridging to Solana

In a groundbreaking move, the popular Ethereum-based gaming project Killabears has announced its upcoming bridge to the Solana blockchain on March 20th. This marks a historic moment for Solana, as Killabears becomes the first major gaming project to initiate a migration from Ethereum.

Solana Takes Center Stage in the Bull Market

The Killabears' migration to Solana reflects a broader shift in the blockchain gaming landscape. Solana network has recently reached all-time highs in Daily Active Users, DeFi volume, and NFT trading volume, solidifying its position as a major contender in the blockchain space. Killabears' decision to leverage Solana's robust infrastructure and thriving ecosystem underscores the growing confidence in Solana's ability to power the next generation of blockchain games.

Killabears: A Mobile Gaming Powerhouse on Solana

The Killabears team brings a wealth of experience to the Solana ecosystem. With a history of over 40 million downloads on the app store, their vision aligns perfectly with Solana Mobile's ambition to disrupt the Apple/Google duopoly in mobile gaming.

Killabears CEO Ben Cohen echoed Solana Mobile's vision, stating, "We are totally aligned with that vision in terms of disrupting the duopoly of Apple/Google. They've taken millions from us over the last decade."

Fueled by their mobile heritage, Killabears is already developing a web3 casual game studio on Solana Mobile.

Why Solana? The Killabears Perspective

In a recent interview with SolanaFloor, Cohen addressed the decision to migrate to Solana, highlighting the importance of user experience. "What we started to feel, on ETH, was that no matter how great we made an experience, the speed of the blockchain transaction and sometimes the cost would sour the experience of the user," he explained. Solana's lightning-fast transactions and low costs address this critical pain point.

The Killabears community has responded positively to this transition, understanding the need to optimize the gaming experience.

The Road Ahead

The Killacubs collection will spearhead the migration to Solana on March 20th, followed by the Killabears collection at a later date. This strategic move positions Killabears to leverage Solana's capabilities, potentially unlocking new levels of innovation and user engagement in the rapidly growing world of blockchain gaming.
