Built using the Unity engine on Neon EVM, Kugle combines a web2-like gaming experience with the power of blockchain, enabling players to breed, collect, and interact with unique Kugle pets in an immersive, on-chain world.
Why Neon EVM?
Kugle leverages Neon EVM’s Solana-based parallel processing, offering speed, low fees, and scalability within an EVM-compatible environment. Neon EVM enables high-throughput, low-latency gaming while tapping into Solana’s tech stack—crucial for supporting Kugle’s tokenomics, breeding, and staking systems.

Solana-Native and Community-Driven
Since its beta launch in December 2023, Kugle has gained over 30,000 downloads, with 150 daily active users and more than 14,000 missions completed. Players can own in-game assets as NFTs, contributing to a decentralized economy where virtual pets and game items have real value.
