Web3 gaming infrastructure company Stardust has today launched Starbase, which converges consumer rewards and social gaming into one. The platform integrates player rewards and social gaming into one space filled with missions and challenges. Starbase offers something for everyone, from the casual to the hardcore gamer.
Earning Gems Through Missions
A huge part of Starbase is performing missions where players can win gems. These missions include the largest games of Web3, including Nifty Island, Cambria, Shrapnel, Midnight Society, and BloodLoop. By going through each mission, players engage in the playing experience while receiving rewards as Gems, the digital currency used as a medium of Starbase’s reward program.
There are 25 different missions for players to explore with new partnerships and missions released weekly according to the announcement.

Gaming Industry Outlook
It’s projected that the gaming industry will spend $100 billion in acquiring users by 2027 to onboard a billion players into its system. Blockchain gaming is increasingly emerging as a transformational segment with real digital ownership, scalable solutions, and an expanding offering.
StarNet is a decentralized ad network that lies behind Stardust UA and Starbase; it seeks to redirect value brought to companies by traditional ad networks to the app developers, for a superior economic dynamic in the gaming ecosystem.
Furthermore, Starnet wants to ensure that the money spent on user acquisition is for the benefit of the developers rather than in the hands of ad networks. This assures a sustainable environment for developers, enabling them to be innovative and make better gaming experiences in this new era.
Stardust’s Role in Digital Ownership Ecosystem
Stardust is the decentralized B2B SaaS platform in the Starnet ecosystem for all game developers using blockchain technology. This is primarily focused on simplifying and accelerating Web3 go-to-market strategies undertaken by different game developers to enable scaling of their games into millions of players. Stardust has two key flagships—Wallet as a Service and User Acquisition solutions—that have been crafted for developers to be able to quickly scale their Web3 game while meeting standard requirements.
Service Features for User Acquisition
One of the notable features on the Stardust platform is the support for mechanisms of digital ownership wherein a gamer can actually have possession and trade with a digital asset in a verifiable way.
Another interesting feature is Wallets as a Service or WaaS. It would give developers a way to build user profiles followed by custodial wallets for applications to transact on behalf of their users. This would be extremely helpful for people unfamiliar with blockchain technology. The process would strip the complexity away and make it all smooth and very user-friendly.
A player, for example, can earn in-game currency by playing a game. With WaaS, the player would have a simple interface for converting this money to Gems or other rewards without the need to learn how to operate on a blockchain.
