Playmint was founded in 2021 and built its early reputation around two titles. Its first published game, The Crypt, was described by the studio as the world's first fully on-chain cooperative multiplayer game. Its second title, Downstream, went further by allowing players to contribute code that extended the shared game world, with an initial version released in summer 2024. Alongside these games, Playmint developed Playerchains, a peer-to-peer DAG consensus architecture designed to enable trustless multiplayer without relying on a centralized server, demonstrated through a proof-of-concept called Space Shooter. The studio conducted its work in the open, publishing code as open-source software through its GitHub organization.
Playmint raised a $4 million seed round in April 2022, backed by BITKRAFT Ventures, 1kx, Cherry Ventures, Ethereal Ventures, and Play Ventures Future Fund. The studio has published 133 posts and has been mentioned by 36 accounts a total of 70 times.
