Gamers L.A.B. Goes Live on Somnia, Unlocking New Possibilities For Game Devs

Imagine new use-cases like prediction markets for gaming and more!

Web3 game publisher Uprising Labs has announced the launch of Gamers L.A.B., a new infrastructure project built on Somnia, the high-performance Layer 1 blockchain. The integration brings gameplay metadata fully on-chain, unlocking new use cases for developers and players alike.

Gamers L.A.B. offers a powerful new suite of tools that enables games to record and interact with gameplay events directly on-chain. At the core of this innovation is Battle Records, a new open standard for storing game data that can be used across any game or platform.

By building on Somnia, Gamers L.A.B. gains the performance needed to deliver on this vision, with over 1 million transactions per second, sub-second finality, and sub-cent fees. This makes it possible to log every meaningful in-game action, even during peak activity, and create data-rich, composable gameplay experiences that live beyond any single title.

With Battle Records, developers can capture gameplay metadata, from kills and assists to match outcomes and in-game decisions and store it entirely on-chain. This data is accessible via a REST API, making it easy to integrate without deep blockchain expertise. Gamers L.A.B. also supports both Web3 and traditional auth methods, including Sequence, Thirdweb, Steam, and Epic login, lowering the barrier for adoption across the full gaming ecosystem.

Still, the implications go far beyond developer convenience. Fully on-chain gameplay logic and metadata create the foundation for new use cases like gaming prediction markets that let fans wager on game outcomes as they happen, perfect for streamers, esports, and friendly matches alike. This just scratches the surface of the ideas that developers will come up with once they get their hands on this data.

Gamers L.A.B. is one of the first tooling layers to fully embrace this capability, setting the stage for a wave of game development unlike anything before.

"Gamers L.A.B. showcases what becomes possible when performance is no longer the bottleneck,” Somnia Founder Paul Thomas said. “By moving game metadata fully on-chain, they’re enabling developers to create new kinds of gameplay systems that are composable, transparent, and interoperable. This is exactly the kind of innovation we built Somnia to support.”

By unlocking real-time access to gameplay data, developers can build smarter systems that make games more engaging and valuable to players.

“Gamers L.A.B. redefines not just what we store on-chain, but how we use it,” Uprising Founder Eric Vander Wal said. “Web3 has focused on decentralizing data ownership; now it's time to unlock its full potential. With Gamers L.A.B., developers can store vast amounts of data and build systems that reward users, empower communities, and drive deeper engagement with their favorite games.”
