[00:00:00]Hey guys, Seleno here, and welcome back to Play-to-Earn. If you think every crypto game is a scam, Visa just added base to its global stablecoin payments pilot last week.

[00:00:10]So today, we're covering the top five Play-to-Earn games on base for May 2026.

[00:00:15]Let's dive right in.

[00:00:17]Number five.

[00:00:18]Compete is a free-to-play multiplayer sports and action platform on Ethereum and base, available on PC, iOS, and Android.

[00:00:26]Compete stitches several competitive modes into one hub. Players navigate with a customizable avatar.

[00:00:44]Kart racing adds a weapon and nitro driving format, while social deduction puts players into thug, guard, or civilian roles.

[00:00:51]A basketball mode is in active development as a free alternative to NBA 2K with 3v3 and 5v5 formats.

[00:00:59]The KC and series runs structured solo brackets and pop-up cups on top.

[00:01:04]Compete runs a dual economy serving both traditional and web3 players.

[00:01:09]Cosmetics can be acquired with fiat through standard in-game purchases or with the compete token on the bazaar, an in-game marketplace exclusive to NFT cosmetics like clothing, gliders, karts, and emotes.

[00:01:21]Fiat-acquired cosmetics convert into NFTs through the claim system, while crypto purchases are issued directly to the player's wallet. Voola is a secondary in-game currency from leaderboard placements and events.

[00:01:33]On April 20th, 2026, Compete shipped patch v.81 with stability and anti-cheat upgrades following the April 9th v.80 coin pusher patch.

[00:01:44]Up next, a cozy idle game where the entire town runs on cats. Number four.

[00:01:50]Cattown is a casual browser-based idle game on base where the local economy runs on a token called kibble.

[00:01:56]The core loop is a passive idle economy where players acquire cats by spending ETH, and each cat generates one floof per second.

[00:02:04]Floofs can be sold for ETH or combined at 8.64 million per new cat to expand the population.

[00:02:10]On weekends, NPC Isabella runs a fishing competition with on-chain verifiable random function verification and a leaderboard for fish weight.

[00:02:19]Rosie the shopkeeper runs a gacha machine for common to legendary collectibles, while seasonal events add themed tournaments and limited cosmetics.

[00:02:28]Baron von Whiskers, the game's AI agent, hands out daily puzzles and bounties through an on-chain network of robo cats.

[00:02:35]The economy revolves around the kibble ERC-20 token and the 777 piece founders collection NFTs. Players acquire kibble through Uniswap or Hydrax, then use it for gacha pools, boutique cosmetics, and the wealth [music] and whiskers bank deposit system.

[00:02:51]Each founders NFT unlocks 109 cosmetic items across [music] six wearable slots and gives a passive boost to floof generation.

[00:03:00]Toy miniatures and seasonal fish and treasure NFTs come from gacha and events, with player-to-player trading routed through the post office.

[00:03:09]On April 26th, 2026, Cattown introduced an automated bot built with a banker bot, letting players run raffle entries, gacha pools, and boutique purchases from their social media timeline. But the next one is doing something none of the others are.

[00:03:59]Players capture unoccupied territory with one action or break through opponent-held regions with offensive structures.

[00:04:06]Once secured, players construct offensive, defensive, and utility buildings to generate passive units and project force onto neighbors.

[00:04:14]Controlling an entire region temporarily locks it against recapture, while a seasonal virus AI entity disrupts the map and forces players to adapt.

[00:04:24]An agentic mode in open beta lets players configure AI strategies that compete autonomously in tournament brackets, billed as agentic battle royale.

[00:04:33]Clash of Coins runs two NFT collections on base.

[00:05:07]In April 2026, Clash of Coins launched the open beta of agentic mode, an AI versus AI tournament format with a $5 million prize pool. From global territory wars to a fortified island base, here's what's next. Number two.

[00:05:23]Heroes of Mavia is a free-to-play mobile MMO strategy game on base and Ethereum, developed by Skrice Studios and available on iOS and Android.

[00:05:33]In Heroes of Mavia, the core loop revolves around base construction, army management, [music] and PvP rating.

[00:05:40]Players place walls, turrets, explosive mines, and flying bombs around their headquarters to guard stockpiles of gold, oil, and ruby, while training armies across infantry, vehicle, and air.

[00:05:52]PvP battles are timed 3-minute engagements where attackers aim for three-star destruction.

[00:05:57]Ruby battles is a competitive mode where both players attack identical ghost bases with matching unit compositions in 50 ruby and 250 ruby entry tiers.

[00:06:07]Players also form alliances, and a large-scale alliance wars seasonal mode is slated for near-term rollout. Heroes of Mavia runs a four-currency economy.

[00:06:17]Gold and oil are passive base resources for buildings and troops. Sapphire is a premium non-cryptocurrency for accelerating timers, and ruby [music] is the on-chain currency acquired through combat, daily challenges, and land partnerships.

[00:06:31]The three NFT categories are land parcels that host a player's base, upgradeable heroes, and performance-boosting statues, all minted on base and traded through the gas-free ruby marketplace.

[00:06:43]The Mavia token on Ethereum is the governance token for the Mavia DAO and the wider Nexera ecosystem.

[00:07:16]Augencore engineers, Earth and board control specialists, Kathari clone controllers, Marcolian damage dealers, and the Shroud who banish opponent units. Every deck includes a paragon faction leader card that gives a continuous passive ability and can be deployed once as a unit.

[00:07:32]Players build decks from one or two factions and compete in ladder seasons with soft resets.

[00:07:37]Beyond ranked and casual quick play, the new draft mode is the first cross-faction format, where players build a 30-card deck from two parallels and run it through a seven-win or three-loss structure with one free weekly entry.

[00:07:50]Competitive play is anchored by the Parallel League and the annual Parallel Prime Championship. Cards are 3D artwork rendered as ERC-1155 NFTs on Ethereum with collectible variants like prime variants, perfect loops, and one-of-one masterpieces.

[00:08:06]Players who prefer not to use blockchain can play with non-NFT digital copies for free.

[00:08:12]The prime token powers the Echelon Prime ecosystem through prime syncs >> [music] >> for cosmetics and consumables, while equippable keys modify token interaction rates based on match [music] performance.
