Lilypad x Uprising

Lilypad is proud to announce a partnership with Uprising Labs, a cutting-edge game publisher accelerator building the next generation of AI-native games on-chain. As Uprising powers the Dream Catalyst Accelerator and supports titles in the Somnia ecosystem, we see a clear alignment: modular AI + immersive game worlds = next-gen play.

Together, we’re unlocking what’s next in on-chain gameplay: adaptive NPCs, generative game content, and dynamic, intelligent player experiences.

🕹️ 2. Meet Our Partner: Uprising Labs

Uprising Labs is not just another Web3 gaming studio—it’s a full-stack platform for bootstrapping and accelerating Web3-native games. With the Dream Catalyst Accelerator, Uprising identifies and supports studios building the future of gaming, layered with AI, social gameplay, and economic primitives.

Built on the Somnia chain, Uprising is positioned to deliver ultra-performant, persistent game worlds with a thriving creator economy at their core. Their mission: empower studios to launch AI-infused, multiplayer-first experiences that scale.

🧭 3. Shared Vision: AI x Gaming x On-Chain Fun

Lilypad and Uprising Labs share a belief in the future of decentralized, intelligent games:

• Games should be dynamic, emergent, and player-shaped

• Infrastructure should be modular, permissionless, and scalable

• AI should power more than just characters—it should power creativity, commerce, and community

Lilypad offers decentralized GPU compute, model hosting, and AI APIs. Uprising delivers game development velocity, publishing infrastructure, and community reach.

Together, we’re building the stack for playable, intelligent, verifiable game worlds.

🛠️ 4. Synergistic Strengths

What Lilypad Brings:

• Permissionless AI compute infrastructure

• Model marketplace for inference, generation, and agent execution

• Job-based architecture for real-time and batch game AI tasks

What Uprising Brings:

• Network of top-tier game studios and builders

• Publishing stack and go-to-market support via Dream Catalyst

• On-chain gaming execution and infrastructure (via Somnia)

🔧 Short-Term Synergies

• Co-piloted AI NPC demos with Lilypad-hosted models and Uprising games

• AI tooling made easily available for Uprising game teams to use for for procedural generation, AI dialogue, or adaptive gameplay

• Tutorials and pilot programs for Lilypad model devs to plug into Uprising-supported studios

🚀 Mid-Term Roadmap

• AI Game Jam with co-hosted teams, prize pools, and launch paths via Dream Catalyst

• Lilypad integration into Uprising’s SDK for plug-and-play AI workflows

• Joint development of AI agents that evolve alongside players in persistent worlds

🧠 5. Why This Matters

This partnership expands the decentralized AI stack into one of its most important domains: entertainment.

• Gives developers new ways to build responsive, living game worlds

• Offers game studios new revenue models by embedding monetizable AI

• Powers creator-owned, player-shaped metaverses built on the Somnia chain

It also drives real demand for decentralized compute, reinforcing the flywheel of verifiable job execution, open infra, and on-chain intelligence.

🎮 6. AI for Gaming: New Adventures Begin

Here are just a few examples of what’s now possible:

• 🎭 Dynamic NPCs that remember, react, and grow with player interactions

• 🗺️ Procedural map and item generation for infinite replayability

• 🧠 Game Masters and narrative agents for emergent stories

• 🎮 Skill-adjusted difficulty tuned in real-time

• 👾 Voice and toxicity detection for fairer multiplayer

• 💰 AI monetization agents for in-game economies

Lilypad Modular Minds meet the Uprising dream: playable agents, generative fun, and infinitely remixable gameplay.

🌍 7. Long-Term Ecosystem Vision

AI is not just a back-end tool—it’s the future of how games will be designed, played, and evolved.

• Uprising powers the studios and launchpads

• Somnia delivers execution and economy rails

• Lilypad brings the compute, APIs, and agentic logic

This partnership sets the foundation for community-shaped, AI-native, on-chain games that think, adapt, and surprise.

📅 8. Looking Ahead

• AI NPC showcase launching soon with Uprising studio partner

• Co-hosted AI Game Jam to onboard new AI x game developers

• Uprising x Lilypad partner track in Dream Catalyst
