Avalanche Selects Funtico as Its Indie Game Platform

[PRESS RELEASE – Panama City, Panama, August 27th, 2025, Chainwire]

Funtico, the all-in-one Web3 gaming platform, has announced a strategic alliance with Avalanche, the premier high-performance blockchain network, and LaunchLoop, the community-oriented accelerator driving Avalanche’s GameLoop initiative. This partnership positions Funtico as Avalanche’s key platform for nurturing indie game developers and studios, offering essential tools, infrastructure, and services to create, launch, and monetize games within the Avalanche ecosystem.

Avalanche has distinguished itself as one of the most developer-friendly and scalable blockchain networks for gaming. To optimize its ecosystem, Avalanche is directly investing in empowering developers by designating Funtico as its primary gaming platform. Funtico provides an array of tools and features that eliminate technical barriers for game developers, allowing them to concentrate on crafting engaging and entertaining games without requiring in-depth blockchain knowledge. This encompasses:

• Publisher-as-a-Service (PaaS): enabling studios to release games without extensive technical, legal, or operational burdens.
• Cross-Game Interoperability: facilitating smooth integration and connectivity between titles within the Funtico ecosystem, all utilizing the same utility token ($TICO).
• Integrated Payment Gateways: streamlining transactions for both Web2 and Web3 players, whether in Fiat or Crypto.
• Compliance & Security: ensuring a compliant and secure environment for developers and players worldwide.
• Streamlined Onboarding: minimizing friction for studios and players entering the Web3 gaming space.
• Expert Services & Support: equipping game developers with the necessary resources and expertise to grow sustainably.

This partnership allows Avalanche and Funtico to handle the technical and infrastructure aspects, fostering a sustainable environment where indie developers gain visibility, monetization options, and long-term support while focusing on creating captivating titles. This provides a platform where players can enjoy a variety of exciting, entertaining, and tournament-ready games hosted on Funtico.com.

The collaboration will commence on September 8th, with Avalanche’s GameLoop Season 1, a community-driven initiative led by LaunchLoop and supported by Avalanche and Funtico, featuring a $30,000 prize pool. Developers will create high-score browser games, backed by Funtico’s assistance, which offers tailored tools and personalized attention to streamline development. These games will be showcased in global tournaments on Funtico.com, granting creators immediate access to live audiences and valuable feedback while rewarding players for their participation.

Integral to this ecosystem is Funtico’s utility token, $TICO, which facilitates platform-wide interactions. From tournament entries and rewards to developer monetization and cross-game benefits, $TICO serves as the unifying currency throughout Funtico’s ecosystem. As more games and players engage through Avalanche-powered efforts, the demand for $TICO is expected to rise, reinforcing its foundational role within the platform.

This collaboration underscores Avalanche’s dedication to fostering the next generation of game developers and players, establishing Funtico as the preferred platform to broaden its gaming ecosystem. Game developers interested in joining and potentially releasing their game with Funtico’s support are encouraged to apply to GameLoop here.
