What is Mythos

Mythos is a Web3 gaming network designed to give players more control over their games and digital items. It allows users to collect, trade, and use in-game assets across supported titles, helping players benefit directly from their time and skill.

The network runs on the Mythos Chain, a custom-built Layer 1 blockchain designed for games. It supports fast, low-cost transactions and is compatible with tools and marketplaces that make blockchain elements feel simple. Players can store assets in supported wallets, explore connected games, and trade items in a shared marketplace.

For developers, Mythos offers an open environment to build games with integrated ownership features. They can access tools like SDKs and connect to an existing ecosystem of players, marketplaces, and community support.

Notable Games on Mythos

• NFL Rivals – A mobile football management game where players collect NFL athletes and earn rewards through competition and trading.
• Blankos Block Party – A party game with user-generated content and tradeable character NFTs, offering casual multiplayer gameplay.
• Nitro Nation: World Tour – A drag racing game that includes collectible and upgradeable car NFTs, allowing players to race for prizes.

How Gamers Can Earn

Gamers can earn by playing supported games and participating in events. Titles like NFL Rivals and Nitro Nation let players win or unlock in-game assets that can be sold or traded. These digital items often carry value and are listed on the Mythical Marketplace, where players can manage and exchange them.

Seasonal quests and campaigns, like the Mythical Forest event, have also rewarded players with MYTH tokens for completing challenges. These events offer earning potential even outside traditional gameplay.

Players can swap MYTH tokens on major exchanges such as Uniswap, Gate.io, and MEXC. Tokens earned in-game or via events can be traded or used for purchases in supported marketplaces.

Staking and Rewards

Players can stake MYTH tokens to support the Mythos Chain and earn rewards. This is done by delegating to a collator, which is a trusted validator that helps maintain the network. Staking is available through wallets like Nova Wallet and SubWallet.

• The minimum stake is 500 MYTH, though some collators may require more.
• Rewards accrue every 24 hours and must be claimed manually.
• There is an unstaking period of about 3 days.

Yield varies depending on which collator is chosen. Users are encouraged to monitor their collator’s performance, as rewards can fluctuate.

Node Program

The Mythos Chain uses a collator-based system to maintain its blockchain. Players do not run nodes directly. Instead, they can participate by staking MYTH tokens and nominating collators through supported wallets like Nova Wallet or SubWallet.

A collator-based system means a small group of trusted validators (collators) runs the network. You don’t run a node yourself, but you can support the network by staking to one of them and earn rewards.

This setup allows players to help secure the network and receive staking rewards without needing technical infrastructure. Details about how to become a collator are not publicly available.

Tech & Background

Mythos was founded in 2022 by Mythical Games, a U.S.-based studio focused on blockchain gaming. The Mythos Chain launched in 2023 as a Layer 1 blockchain built using Substrate, the same framework behind Polkadot. This means it operates as a fully independent chain with its own validators and governance, without relying on Polkadot’s shared infrastructure.

The ecosystem is compatible with wallets like Nova Wallet, SubWallet, and Talisman. Developers can use tools such as the upcoming Beamable SDK to integrate Mythos features into new games. The network is supported by gaming partners and organizations including Ubisoft, FaZe Clan, Animoca Brands, and Yield Guild Games, contributing to both visibility and ecosystem growth.
