Avalanche Battle Pass Season 3: Web2 Integration with $25,000 in Rewards

The Season 3 of the Avalanche Battle Pass begins on November 24, introducing an integration between traditional video games and blockchain rewards. With more than US$25,000 in prizes, this edition allows players to earn real incentives while participating in titles they already know, both Web2 and Web3.

A Battle Pass that functions as an ecosystem

The system starts with the free mint of an NFT pass on Magic Eden, used as general access to the pass missions. Players connect their Steam, Epic Games, or Discord accounts through Playfull, which enables activity verification within the games.

From this connection, each completed mission offers rewards in AVAX, exclusive NFTs, Playpoints, or other internal ecosystem currencies.

The main innovation: integration with high-profile Web2 games

For the first time, the season includes widely recognized titles from the traditional gaming space. Players can receive blockchain rewards while playing games such as:

• Overwatch 2
• Apex Legends
• Battlefield 6
• Stardew Valley
• Dead by Daylight
• Warframe
• PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS
• Marvel Rivals
• Arc Raiders
• NARAKA: BLADEPOINT
• Delta Force

This integration allows the Battle Pass to be accessible to players who are not coming from the Web3 environment but already participate actively in these titles.

Web3 titles returning this season

Alongside the new Web2 games, the season maintains its catalog of Web3 titles already featured in previous editions:

• Pixelmon
• Palworld
• Off The Grid
• Spellborne
• Rumble Arcade
• Gladiator Mayhem
• DeFi Kingdoms
• Paradise Tycoon
• Castle of Blackwater
• Forgotten Playland

The combination of both segments expands the ecosystem without forcing players to migrate to unfamiliar experiences. Additionally, several features were adjusted to make the pass more clear and accessible:

• Mission preferences: customize desired challenge types.
• In-progress mission panel: centralized view for long-term objectives.
• Referral system: additional rewards for inviting other players.

The reward system: Playpoints and Snowflakes

The internal economy of the season relies on two components:

Playpoints

Earned by completing missions and used to purchase exclusive items, cosmetics, and NFTs in the Battle Pass Shop.
Playpoints remain useful across the entire Playfull ecosystem, even outside this season.

Snowflakes

They act as tickets for the main season raffles, with more than US$25,000 in prizes.
The more Snowflakes a player accumulates, the higher their chances in the draw.

A proposal aimed at multiple player types

The season addresses the ongoing challenge of attracting users unfamiliar with blockchain technology. By allowing players to earn rewards while playing titles like Apex Legends or Stardew Valley, it lowers the entry barrier to the Web3 ecosystem.

For players already involved in Web3, the season broadens their opportunities to earn rewards across more titles and experiences.

Verification technology: the role of Playfull

Playfull operates as the platform that validates gameplay data through connections with Steam, Epic Games, and Discord. Its capabilities include:

• Automatic mission verification using official data.
• Browser extension, active only during mission actions and without logging unrelated information.
• Exploration of zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) implementations for greater privacy in verification.

These features ensure that rewards are assigned legitimately, accurately, and securely.
