Top Blasters Mayhem Engine
An in-house real-time 3D engine built on three.js and WebGL. It does the rendering, animation, physics, destruction and gore, and loads straight into a browser tab.
Liquid Labs: Games · Built for Solana
128 players. One browser tab.
Top Blasters is a large-scale vehicle shooter that runs in any modern browser, with no download and no install. We built every layer ourselves: the renderer, the physics, the bots, the netcode and the servers.

The technology
A vertically integrated game stack
Most studios license an engine, rent a netcode framework and stitch together a backend. Liquid Labs owns every layer between the player's GPU and the server's ledger. Each layer is tuned for one job: very large, fair, real-time firefights in the browser.
Turbine netcode
Server-authoritative multiplayer built for shooters. It handles lag compensation, prioritized state streaming and a dual transport: WebTransport datagrams with a WebSocket fallback.
128-player matches
Full-size Conquest battles with infantry, ground vehicles, aircraft and drop pods. Turbine's per-player bandwidth budgets keep every client's stream inside its link.
Fidelity at 100 fps
Every performance change is measured against a 10 ms frame and checked on 1% lows. Big lobbies follow a visual-parity rule: a 128-player match must look like a 32-player one.
Multi-region
Players are served from the region nearest to them, and one home region holds the single authoritative ledger. Each region runs the same build with the same security.
Built for Solana
Wallet sign-in, items and the market all run on Solana mainnet. Cosmetics are real compressed NFTs, minted with no fee to the player. Ownership is verified on-chain, and match outcomes are signed and audited server-side.

Liquid Labs · Mayhem Engine
Console-class rendering in a browser tab
Mayhem is our own engine layer on top of the web's open graphics stack. A match loads straight into the browser and holds high frame rates with dozens of players, vehicles and effects on screen.
GPU-driven charactersInstanced bodies and GPU skinning let a full lobby render at full detail.
Physical destructionRagdolls, gibs, vehicle wrecks and surface-projected decals, with no gore cut for performance.
Compressed deliveryGPU texture compression and content-hashed arena packs keep downloads small and cacheable.
Mesh-accurate collisionMovement, projectiles, vehicles and bots all query the same collision mesh.
Navigation-baked AIBots that drive, fly, take objectives and fill lobbies at every size.
Device tiersOne codebase scales from gaming laptops to integrated GPUs and phones.

Liquid Labs · Turbine netcode
Netcode built for 128 players
General-purpose multiplayer frameworks sync a shared state object. Turbine is built for one harder problem: making a hit in a 128-player gunfight feel fair at 30 ms and still fair at 300 ms.
Server authorityEvery shot, kill and reward is judged on the server. Clients predict and the server rules.
Lag compensationHits are judged against what the shooter actually saw, including projectiles.
Interest and priorityEach player receives what matters most to them first, inside a per-player byte budget.
Datagram transportWebTransport (QUIC) datagrams for state, so a stale update never blocks a fresh one.
Universal fallbackA reliable WebSocket path for every browser and network, with automatic switch-over.
Isolated match hostsEach match runs on its own isolated host, so one busy room never stalls another.
InputThe client samples input and predicts movement locally, so it responds with no wait.
TransportDatagrams over QUIC where supported, reliable streams everywhere else.
SimulateA 30 Hz authoritative tick runs physics, bots, vehicles and objectives.
JudgeLag-compensated hit judgment, then signed outcomes for anything of value.
StreamPrioritized, budgeted state to each player, rendered with smooth interpolation.
How Turbine compares
Purpose-built where frameworks are general
Colyseus is a respected open-source multiplayer framework for Node.js, and the closest well-known reference point for Turbine. It is built to sync state for any kind of game. Turbine is built only for large competitive shooters, and it ships the hard parts as standard.
| Capability | Turbine (Liquid Labs) | Colyseus |
|---|---|---|
| Scope | Shooter-specific: movement, projectiles, vehicles, hit judgment | General-purpose room and state sync for any genre |
| Server authority | Built in, with signed outcomes | Built in |
| Lag-compensated hits | Built in (hitscan and projectiles) | Not part of the framework; each game writes its own |
| Per-player priority and bandwidth budget | Built in | State views filter what each client sees; no per-player byte budget |
| Unreliable datagram transport | WebTransport in production since Oct 2026 | WebTransport transport offered as experimental |
| Proven room size | 128-seat matches live in production | No per-room figure published; scaling is quoted as total CCU |
| Server-side bots | Infantry, drivers, pilots and objective AI | Not included |
| Multi-region with one ledger | Live: West and East | Managed cloud in many locations; game state and economy left to you |
| Economy and anti-cheat integration | On-chain items, audited match tapes, server-side checks | Out of scope |
| Engine SDKs and licence | Proprietary, built for the Mayhem Engine | MIT open source with many engine SDKs. A real strength for general use. |

In-game marketplace
Swap to keep: rewards that create volume
Every match hands out rewards: crate drops, extracted loot, unlocks, nameplates. To keep what they win, players make a small token swap inside the game. The reward becomes an on-chain item they own and can trade on the in-game market. Every swap and every sale carries a platform fee, so trading volume comes from play itself, not from ad spend.
EarnWin a match, extract with loot or open a crate. Drops are random and rarity is tiered.
Swap to keepA one-tap swap inside the game turns the find into a permanent item.
OwnThe item is minted on-chain to the player's wallet at no cost to them.
TradeList it, sell it or buy upgrades on the in-game market. Each trade is new volume.
Variable rewards
Unpredicted rewards trigger a stronger dopamine response than expected ones [1]. Random crate drops and rarity tiers keep every match worth one more run.
Effort raises value
People value what they worked to build far more than identical items they did not [2]. A skin earned in a firefight is worth keeping.
Ownership raises value
Once something is ours, we demand far more to give it up than we would pay for it [3]. Owned items hold their value, and that props up market prices.
Losses loom larger
Losses weigh more than equal gains [4]. Framing the swap as keeping something already won turns it into the obvious choice.

Global infrastructure
West and East, one ledger
Each region runs the identical build, the same live playlists and the same security floor. Money is the deliberate exception: one home region holds, judges and pays every cent. Regional servers relay signed evidence and never hold keys or a second copy of the books.
Live
WestThe home region: sign-in, lobby, market and the single authoritative ledger, plus match hosts for players in the West.
Live
EastThe same live list for players in the East: casual playlists, Conquest 128 and Extraction Royale. Anything of value settles in the home ledger.
Planned
More regionsThe region model was built to add new match regions without a second ledger.
