TL;DR
- Unite launched a closed beta for its mobile-focused Layer 3 gaming blockchain.
- The platform enables near-zero cost transactions for high-volume microtransactions.
- Testers earn Play Coins and mint identity tokens by playing supported games.
Unite has launched a closed beta testnet on November 30, 2025, to validate its Layer 3 blockchain designed specifically for mass-market mobile Web3 gaming. This controlled testing environment allows whitelisted gamers to mint identity tokens and earn play-based rewards while the company evaluates the network’s architecture and low-cost transaction model under real-world conditions.
Unite positions itself as an L3 EVM-compatible chain built on the Optimism Stack and anchored to the Base Layer-2 network. The system emphasizes embedded mobile wallets with biometric security to create a frictionless onboarding experience for mobile users. Two core on-chain assets form the foundation of the ecosystem: Gamer Coins representing players’ digital identities and Play Coins recording achievements and gameplay time.
A major selling point of the platform is its extremely low transaction costs — as little as $0.000000000084 per transaction — designed to enable high-volume micro-transactions that traditional blockchain systems cannot efficiently support.
The underlying infrastructure leverages the Syndicate Network, which serves as a backbone for cross-chain liquidity and interoperability between the Base L2 and Unite L3.
Testing Phase and Tokenomics
The closed beta is limited to a carefully selected cohort of whitelisted participants tasked with stress-testing the network across supported games.
These users are actively minting Gamer Coins and earning Play Coins by playing various supported titles including Dota 2, Counter-Strike 2, Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced, Roblox, Line Bright, and Puppet Hockey. Distribution and publishing are being trialed through Bored Button, Unite’s Web3 gaming platform.
The native $UNITE token forms the core of the economic system, serving as the medium for rewards, governance, and premium features.
Current market data shows $UNITE trading at approximately $0.00003932 with a 24-hour trading volume of $72,686.33 and a CoinMarketCap rank around #5507. The project has secured $6.45 million in funding from investors including Coinbase Ventures.
The testnet has several explicit objectives:
- Validate reliability, security, and latency under expected user loads
- Confirm wallet and identity flows
- Test asset movement between Base L2 and Unite L3
- Reduce friction in wallet onboarding
- Validate biometric integrations for mainstream mobile users
This closed beta represents a crucial verification step to prove both the technical and economic assumptions behind Unite’s gamer-centric L3 blockchain. A wider public release is planned as the next milestone, contingent on successfully completing this testing phase and incorporating participant feedback.
