# Welcome
**BALL3** is a real-time, on-chain PvP game that combines the engaging gameplay of *Agar.io* with the innovative potential of Web3.
Players compete to outmaneuver opponents, grow their ball, and survive as long as possible, with every action recorded transparently on-chain and every victory delivering digital assets under true player ownership.
The game offers the ideal balance of accessibility and depth — quick, jump-in matches combined with strategic gameplay, team coordination, and lively competitive chaos. Think of it as a mix of Agar.io’s simplicity + Fortnite-style social play.
