On February 25, 2026 (four days ago), the pioneering gaming platform play.fun launched on Solana. Built by Justin Waldron, the visionary who co-founded Zynga at 19 after dropping out of the University of Connecticut. He built the company behind FarmVille, Words with Friends, and Zynga Poker, and later co-founded Playco, raising $100M+ led by Sequoia Capital.
play.fun is doing something that immediately clicked with everything I've been building for BizarreBeasts ($BB).
The pitch is simple: pump.fun for games. Launch a token tied to a game, reward players for playing, and let the bonding curve mechanics do the rest. Except instead of just a coin with a meme attached or no utility, there's an actual game people can play.
Sound familiar? The BizarreBeasts ethos is: Community. Coins. Culture. Launching BIZARRE games on play.fun is a perfect fit.
Within 48 hours of play.fun going live, I launched five BizarreBeasts games:
1) Bizarre Bounce β The fan favorite, already a proven hit with 65K+ plays on Remix, and achieving #1 trending status on Remix and TheBaseApp.
2) Treasure Quest β Our flagship 50+ level platformer and one of my favorite BIZARRE creations.
3) Louie's Food Fling β Easy game to play and enjoy, fling Louie and watch him fly.
4) Bizarre Sweeper β A classic Minesweeper with a BIZARRE twist.
5) BizarreBeasts Sudoku β A classic puzzle game reinvented with a BIZARRE challenge.
And the players and numbers started moving immediately. Bizarre Bounce alone has paid out over $100 in SOL rewards to players in just four days. Real money. Real players. Real rewards.
AND each gamecoin launched has a $1,000 reward pool waiting for players when its token graduates through the bonding curve.
I joined the Liquidity Lounge live stream on X, hosted by Michael Lee (@MichaelLeeSOL), and connected directly with Justin. Hearing him lay out the vision for what play.fun means for creators, that was the moment I knew it was time to finally take BizarreBeasts multichain and expand to $SOL.
BizarreBeasts has always been Base-native. Our $BB token (CA: 0x0520bf1d3cEE163407aDA79109333aB1599b4004), smart contracts, NFTs, and the miniapp are all on Base, and that's not changing. But gaming distribution? That's a different conversation.
play.fun gives us something powerful: a new way to reach players on the highest-volume chain for gaming tokens right now. Solana moves fast. play.fun is moving faster. And BizarreBeasts was built to ship BIZARRE games.
This is BizarreBeasts going multichain.
One of the best parts about play.fun is how easy it is to get started. You don't need to be a crypto expert to play. To create an account, all you need is an email address. Behind the scenes, Privy handles the secure creation of your wallet automatically. No seed phrases to write down immediatelyβjust sign in and start earning.
Here's why this platform is different from the noise:
A viral game on X might get 5 million views and capture $0. A mid-tier memecoin on pump.fun might capture $100K in volume from just 50,000 views. play.fun bridges that gap β applying bonding curve tokenomics to actual games.
Every game gets a playcoin. Players earn it. Traders buy it. The token has built-in utility because there's a real game attached. When enough volume pushes the token through its bonding curve, it graduates to a DEX with full liquidity.
More than just speculation with a game skin, it's the economic model we've been building toward: tokens that DO something, tied to experiences people actually want.
Justin Waldron is a builder with a massive track record:
Co-founded Zynga in 2007 alongside Mark Pincus. Zynga's IPO in 2011 raised $1 billion at a $7 billion valuationβthe largest U.S. internet IPO since Google at the time. Zynga was later acquired by Take-Two Interactive for $12.7 billion.
Created Zynga Poker, the company's first game, and led product strategy for hits like FarmVille, CityVille, and Words with Friends.
Co-founded Playco in 2020, achieving unicorn status with a $100M+ Series A led by Sequoia Capital.
Founded Open Game Protocol in 2022 to turn wallets into a new distribution surface for games.
Angel investor in 100+ companies, including Substack and Lambda School. Named a top 100 seed investor by Business Insider.
The official Solana account retweeted the launch, signaling network-level support. This isn't a fly-by-night platform, this is the Zynga playbook meets crypto-native economics.
BizarreBeasts has always been about proving that a solo creator can build a complete Web3 ecosystem. 12 games. A utility token. 50+ NFT collections. A top-100 Farcaster miniapp. A fully engaged BIZARRE community. All built by one artist.
play.fun doesn't replace any of that. It amplifies it.
Now we have games earning real rewards on Solana while $BB continues powering the ecosystem on Base. Two chains. One BIZARRE universe. More players discovering what we've been building.
Community. Coins. Culture. Now on two chains.
Head to play.fun and search BizarreBeasts. Five games live. Rewards waiting. The BIZARRE economy just got bigger.
LFBIZARRE πΉ
I'm the artist and builder behind BizarreBeasts ($BB), creating a universe where art and web3 technology converge. This is where everything I am intersects: an artist captivated by darkly humorous outsider art, a builder who creates games and miniapps, a musician performing original soundtracks, and a true BIZARRE believer in decentralized creativity.
This project was born from a vision of what's possible when an artist fully owns their creative universe: exploring the opportunities and economies that web3 enables to build a legacy of creativity and freedom for myself and the BizarreBeasts community. Learn more about me.
BizarreBeasts is an original, art-powered ecosystem featuring hand-illustrated characters, animations, NFTs, and web3 games. With 12 games played over 181,000 times by over 25k players, hitting #1 trending on both Remix and The Base App, I've built a notorious community of 6,900+ token holders going BIZARRE.
The $BB token fuels this creative universe: rewarding the community, unlocking exclusive perks, and providing access to the /bizarrebeasts Farcaster channel. As a holder, climb the Empire leaderboard, earn treasury rewards, and unlock premium features in our meme creator and contests.
From original music and comics to interactive games and physical paintings, dive into the BIZARRE.
