10 Days to ApeChain: How Beamable Helped POG Digital Pivot Fast

When POG Digital needed to switch their Web3 game integration to ApeChain – fast – they called Beamable. What followed was a 10-day sprint through uncharted territory: new chain, new logic, new constraints. Here’s how we pulled it off:

Step 1: Learn Before You Launch
Before writing a single line of code, we did our homework. ApeChain’s docs, roadmap, and architecture got a full review to confirm it could meet POG’s performance and scalability goals.

Step 2: Locking in a Reliable RPC
To move quickly, we chose Alchemy as the RPC provider. It gave us the tools to test transactions, deploy smart contracts, and move at the speed the project demanded.

Step 3: Adapting to ApeChain’s Transaction Model
ApeChain introduced a twist: multiple transaction formats and non-standard gas behavior. That meant we had to ditch standard assumptions and write custom handling logic.

Step 4: Refactoring Contracts on the Fly
POG’s original “Play for Coins” contract was too large for ApeChain’s limits. We restructured and optimized the code to keep the gameplay intact without exceeding size constraints.

Step 5: Upgrading Beamable’s Microservices
Our live game services – minting, wallets, transaction monitoring – were updated to reflect ApeChain’s gas pricing and encoding differences. Minimal disruption. Maximum flexibility.

Step 6: Launch-Time Curveball? Handled.
One day before launch, POG needed to remint collections on-chain. We shipped an update within hours – tweaking both smart contracts and backend logic to support it seamlessly.

DONE in 10 Days

From research to live deployment, ApeChain support was up and running in just 10 days. It’s a great example of how Beamable helps game teams move fast, even when the target moves mid-sprint.

“Beamable didn’t just help us pivot – they became part of the team. We threw them a major curveball with ApeChain, and they delivered in 10 days. That kind of speed and partnership is rare in Web3.”

– Kyler Frisbee, CEO of POG Digital
