Trailblaze the Internet of Games
[BUILDING 100%]
introduction
Argus Labs is realizing a future where games are open, interoperable, and shaped by emergent gameplay.
At the convergence of distributed systems and protocol engineering, we are advancing the way to build, play, and extend massively multiplayer online games.
[MISSION]TheInternetOfGames
Architects of
World Engine
Sharded Rollup SDK
World Engine's novel layer 2 sharding architecture empower game developers to build their own horizontally scalable blockchain that inherits the security of the underlying layer 1 blockchain.
Made for Games, Not JPEGs
Inspired by the server architecture behind the most computationally intensive online games, World Engine's game shards allow developers to build their games fully onchain.
EVM-compatible
Build your rollup on top of the largest blockchain developer ecosystem: Ethereum. As an EVM-compatible blockchain, World Engine-based chain supports all Ethereum wallets and toolings.
Foundational
Pillars of Argus
001 Research Lab
We build novel infrastructure, primitives, and game economy design to advance the World Engine ecosystem and crypto gaming as a whole.
002 Game Studio
Argus is a games company, not a pick-and-shovel company. We build games on the World Engine stack and trailblaze the path to realizing the Internet of games.
003 Game Publisher
We help game studios building on the World Engine get from 0 to 1 through our edge in crypto gaming infrastructure, research, and growth.

[MANIFESTO]
DEAR ASPIRINGWORLD ARCHITECTS
Despite being internet-native game worlds exist in siloed systems -- seemingly tucked away in the dark corners of the universe.
[001]
Game developers are locked into platform giants and operate at their mercy.
[002]
Players yearn for greater creative freedom, yet are constrained by limited access to build on top of core game logic and data.
[003]
Games can't communicate with each other seamlessly, eliminating a treasure trove of game design innovation and embargoing the growth of expansive cross-game economies.
*ITDOESNTHAVETOBELIKETHIS*
FROM MAGNAVOX ODYSSEY TO ULTIMA ONLINE
The video game industry is built on the shoulders of rebels; those crazy enough to build the impossible.
We are tired of hearing about "how it has always been done"; we want to know "how it should have been done".
IT WASNT ALWAYS LIKE THIS
We are builders of worlds from the wildest of fantasies -- an escape from the mundane reality.
But, we grew complacent with the mundane reality that is our own industry.
AREYOUIN?
BUILD THE FUTURE OF GAMING
It's time for a new era in video games
An era where the creatives, hackers, and savants will lead the industry once again.
Built on an open infrastructure designed from first-principles with the players in mind, not benjamin's.
Together, we'll redefine what it means to play games.
Together, we'll germinate the seed for future game worlds.
