Gaming studio Mythical Games, known for developing games like NFL Rivals, FIFA Rivals and Pudgy Party, is teaming up with Sam Altman’s blockchain project World to combat the rise of bots that distort in-game economies and player experiences.
Mythical will build Mythos Chain, the first layer-3 blockchain atop World Chain, the layer-2 network built on Ethereum. The integration will give Mythical’s 17 million players access to the World ecosystem, where users are verified through World ID’s proof-of-humanity protocol.

Mythical said it is hoping to make gaming fairer and more human in the age of AI. Nearly 75% of gamers say bots make games less enjoyable, according to World’s research. By using World ID, Mythical aims to ensure only verified human players can access key parts of its ecosystem, like tournaments and asset marketplaces, keeping gameplay and digital economies fair.
“Proof of human” technology, World says, can help solve a decades-old issue that’s only worsened as AI tools make it easier to automate gameplay. By leveraging the World Chain network, the new layer 3 will maintain the security and finality of Ethereum while offering cheaper, faster transactions optimized for verified human players.
“By integrating proof of human, Mythical ensures those economies stay fair and transparent,” the World team wrote in a press release.
