PoW2 (Proof of Web2)

Before stepping into the on-chain ecosystem, Hot Spring was already validated in the Web2 landscape through strong user engagement and gameplay retention. As a cozy simulation IP, the game achieved:

• Over 5 million organic downloads across mobile platforms

• Top-3 ranking in simulation and lifestyle game categories in key Asian markets

• Average session time of 18+ minutes per user, indicating deep immersion

• 28-day D1 retention consistently above 40%, highlighting habitual engagement

• A vibrant fan-driven content ecosystem, including UGC furniture packs, fan art, and room design competitions

These metrics not only reflect product-market fit, but also prove that Hot Spring resonates with a generation seeking comfort, expression, and emotional connection => values often overlooked in the broader gaming market.

This Web2 foundation provides both creative depth and operational stability as Hot Spring expands into a fully composable, AI-native simulation platform on-chain.

Proven Studio Execution in Traditional Markets

Hot Spring is built by a game studio with over a decade of experience in the traditional gaming industry. The team has collectively launched multiple casual and simulation titles that have reached:

• Over 100 million cumulative downloads

• High-performing user bases across Southeast Asia, Korea, and Japan

• Partnerships with leading Web2 publishers, platforms, and art studios

• Successful monetization via IAP-driven economies with long-tail retention models

• Recognized IPs in simulation, idle RPG, and lifestyle genres

This operational maturity forms the backbone of Hot Spring’s ability to scale. Unlike experimental Web3-native teams, this studio brings battle-tested production pipelines, deep understanding of player psychology, and scalable infrastructure for managing both creative content and live operations.

The Mission: Onboard the Next 3 Billion Traditional Players

The next evolution of Hot Spring is not just about Web3-native users. It is designed to bridge the experience of traditional mobile and PC gamers into a new interoperable layer of digital life.

To onboard the next 3 billion players, Hot Spring focuses on:

• Familiar gameplay loops powered by AI and social personalization

• Frictionless onboarding through account abstraction and invisible wallets

• Optional on-chain layers that add value, not complexity

• Creator ecosystems that empower players to become builders

• Emotional continuity that turns games into lifestyle anchors

This is not a crypto game with players. This is a player-driven world => rebuilt from the comfort, trust, and creativity that traditional games got right, now composable and persistent by design.
