HYTOPIA Backs Game Studios with $125K Creator Fund

HYTOPIA is making serious waves in the blockchain games space with the launch of its Creator Fund and a strategic migration to Coinbase’s Base network. If you’re a game studio ready to build the next breakout title, this may be your moment. Let's dive into everything you need to know about HYTOPIA's latest moves.

A Creator Fund Built for Serious Web3 Game Developers

HYTOPIA's new Creator Fund is more than just a financial boost — it’s a full ecosystem designed to support the growth of blockchain-native games. Up to $125,000 in milestone-based, non-dilutive grants are available for studios ready to build flagship titles on HYTOPIA.

These grants are split across five development milestones:

• Concept approval

• Closed beta

• Open beta

• Public launch

• Final delivery

And the best part? No equity is taken. You keep 100% of your IP while getting the financial and technical backing to bring your vision to life.

Full-Service Support for Selected Teams

Beyond funding, HYTOPIA’s offering is impressively comprehensive. Studios selected into the Creator Fund will gain access to:

• Hands-on engineering help through a private Slack group

• Launch marketing from HYTOPIA’s GTM (go-to-market) team

• Platform exposure and social media pushes

• A generous 75/25 revenue split, where 75% of both primary and secondary sales go directly to the developers

This level of backing is rare in the world of blockchain gaming, making HYTOPIA's fund one of the most developer-friendly options available.

Who’s Eligible to Apply?

HYTOPIA isn’t opening the floodgates to just anyone. The Creator Fund is targeted toward proven studios — teams that have already delivered high-engagement titles. Specifically, to qualify, your studio must have:

• Launched a Roblox game with 10M+ plays or a mobile game with 100K+ downloads

• A team with at least one 3D modeler, one animator, and one dev experienced in JavaScript or TypeScript

Even if you’re new to TypeScript, you're still encouraged to apply. The fund is all about empowering creators who know how to ship compelling content.

Build Fast with No-Code Tools and a Streamlined SDK

HYTOPIA has created a developer environment designed to speed up production. Whether you're a solo dev or a large team, the tools at your disposal include:

• A no-code editor for drag-and-drop building

• Advanced 3D creation tools

• A powerful SDK for world-building, quest design, and AI-powered logic

• Instant sharing via links and real-time gameplay deployment

All infrastructure — including APIs, backend, and hosting — is baked in. This allows developers to focus entirely on creativity and gameplay instead of getting bogged down by tech hurdles.

A Transparent, Community-Focused Dev Journey

Another standout feature of the Creator Fund is HYTOPIA’s encouragement to build in public. Studios are expected to share:

• Development logs

• Progress updates

• Alpha test invites

• Community feedback sessions

This open approach fosters connection with players, helps polish the final product, and builds early momentum — all while feeding into HYTOPIA’s goal of cultivating a thriving, creator-first ecosystem.

Major Platform Upgrade and $HYBUX Migration to Base

Alongside the Creator Fund, HYTOPIA has announced a strategic migration from its own Hychain to Base, Coinbase’s Ethereum Layer-2. This move includes:

• The sunsetting of $TOPIA in favor of a new token: $HYBUX

• A 1:2 token airdrop, where 1 $TOPIA becomes 2 $HYBUX

• Full migration of staking pools and liquidity to Base

Why Base? With over $4B in locked value, low gas fees, and Ethereum compatibility, Base gives HYTOPIA the infrastructure needed for smoother gameplay, easier exchange listings, and better developer tooling.

What to Expect from $HYBUX

$HYBUX is launching with a 10 billion token supply on Base. It will power the entire HYTOPIA ecosystem, including:

• Staking and rewards (which no longer expire)

• Marketplace activity

• Upgraded Guardian Node incentives

• Utility boosts for NFTs

Token holders must store $TOPIA in personal wallets (not pools) before the snapshot to receive the airdrop. Detailed instructions on the airdrop and migration steps are already available on HYTOPIA’s official channels.

HYTOPIA’s Web3 Roots and Game Development Vision

For those unfamiliar, HYTOPIA was born out of necessity. After Minecraft banned NFTs in 2022, the original NFT Worlds team pivoted and built their own platform — one that embraces blockchain and creators alike.

Since then, HYTOPIA has evolved into a full-fledged blockchain gaming platform available on web, desktop, and mobile. Early alpha games include fishing sims, RPGs, and PvP arenas — all created with its in-house SDK and no-code tools.

The platform feels like modded Minecraft, but reimagined with full web3 functionality — from token economies to on-chain ownership.

Final Thoughts and How to Apply

The Creator Fund isn’t just another grant — it’s a powerful launchpad for blockchain game studios ready to scale. With $125K in funding, custom support, and an expanding player base on Base, HYTOPIA offers one of the most compelling developer ecosystems in web3 today.
