How Doss Games Built a Reliable Testnet for Web3 Gaming Using BuildBear
Doss Games used BuildBear to overcome the limitations of public testnets and launch a robust, community-friendly testnet for Web3 gaming.
The Challenge
Why Existing Testnets Failed
Doss Games is building a blockchain-based gaming metaverse. Their community-focused development demanded a seamless testing experience, but they kept hitting roadblocks:
• Public testnets were slow and unreliable, with gated faucets that frustrated early users.
• Private testnet setups kept crashing within hours and required constant maintenance.
• There was no way to pause or resume state, making iteration extremely difficult.
To test their Web3 games with real users, Doss needed a stable environment—fast, fault-tolerant, and easy to manage.
The Solution
How BuildBear Helped
BuildBear enabled Doss Games to launch a dedicated testnet tailored for community engagement and rapid development:
• They created a BuildBear Net specifically for deploying all their Web3 games.
• The network ran with 100% uptime, eliminating downtime issues from legacy testnets.
• BuildBear's unique state persistence allowed them to pause, stop, and restart the chain from the same point, even after crashes.
This setup gave Doss the confidence to onboard users, iterate rapidly, and scale up testing without infrastructure headaches.
The Result
Delivering a Smoother Web3 Gaming Experience
BuildBear helped Doss Games transform their development and community testing workflow:
• Improved retention by offering a smoother gaming experience during testing
• Enabled real-time iteration with intelligent analytics and uptime reliability
• Positioned their metaverse as a production-grade Web3 gaming platform
With BuildBear, they delivered a testnet experience that actually matched the speed and interactivity of a live product.
