The Karrat Foundation has officially launched Studio Chain, a new Layer 2 blockchain designed to enhance the entertainment and gaming industries. By combining scalability with accessibility, the network enables creators, developers, and studios to produce and monetize digital content while maintaining transparent on-chain ownership. Built on Arbitrum Orbit and Caldera, Studio Chain uses $KARRAT as its native gas token, aiming to bridge traditional media workflows with blockchain infrastructure. The platform also allows flexible integrations with other decentralized applications and offers comprehensive developer documentation to simplify adoption.
Mainnet Launch Features Flagship Game
AMGI Studios, founded by veterans from Pixar, Disney, and Industrial Light & Magic, leads the launch as the official partner. The studio will release its flagship game, My Pet Hooligan, as the first project to operate on Studio Chain. The game is available in demo form on Steam, with early access planned, and will also be accessible via Epic Games Store and XBOX. It highlights how mainstream entertainment projects can leverage blockchain technology to improve player engagement, digital ownership, and immersive experiences without sacrificing accessibility.
Innovative Staking Model Encourages Community Participation
Studio Chain introduces Resiliency Nodes (RNs), a staking system designed to maintain network stability. At launch, 20 nodes will be activated, each requiring 5 million $KARRAT, locking a total of 100 million $KARRAT into the network. Participants earn shares of sequencer revenue and can receive returns of up to 20% annually, supported by 20 million $KARRAT from the foundation and additional rewards from AMGI Studios and future partners.
This open, pooled model lowers traditional barriers to entry while fostering decentralization and community involvement. The design also supports upcoming collaborations with smaller indie developers, increasing ecosystem diversity.
The network architecture supports token-based rewards, digital asset ownership, and interoperable content for studios. Communities and fans are encouraged to take part in funding, governance, and ecosystem growth. The Karrat Foundation invites developers and studios to join by staking $KARRAT, building integrations, and collaborating on media initiatives that expand the network. Studio Chain represents a step toward merging Web3 capabilities with creative industries, offering a platform where entertainment, gaming, and blockchain intersect seamlessly, while also supporting innovative monetization strategies.
