Turf.GG Launches AI-Powered Gameplay Data L1 on Avalanche, Built with Cogitus by Zeeve

The first custom Avalanche L1 chain purpose-built for esports, AI agents & competitive gaming analytics is here. And it’s just the beginning.

Gaming isn’t short of players. It’s short of infrastructure that respects what players create. Every match. Every move. Every decision is made in a fraction of a second. It all adds up to a firehose of gameplay data that’s been ignored or exploited for years. Turf is changing the game. Literally.

Turf has rolled out its testnet on Avalanche L1, a custom, high-performance DePIN chain purpose-built for AI-powered gameplay data orchestration — developed, deployed, and optimized by Zeeve, the leader in AppChain-as-a-Service. This is the world’s first real testnet that treats gameplay data as high-frequency infrastructure, not just telemetry.

Zero integrations. Real AI agents. Player-owned data pipelines. Welcome to the Turf economy.

“Gaming has a data and availability problem, and AI in gaming further requires the scale of data which has so far been difficult to host on blockchain. Turf’s Avalanche L1, powered by Zeeve, is custom built for gaming and AI applications for gaming – for gamers and builders alike. Turf’s Avalanche L1 is building the operating system for the future of game intelligence.”

Turf isn’t a game. It’s the protocol underneath the next 1000 games.

Games generate more intelligence per second than any digital medium on Earth, but most of it dies at the edge—unseen, unclaimed, unusable. We at Turf are aiming to redefine data synthesizing for specialized gaming AI, where information becomes the currency, players become the signal, and infrastructure finally plays for the player. With Zeeve and Avalanche as a backbone on this mission, it’s the neural layer for the future of competitive intelligence.

DO Nodes ingest these gameplay signals from Collector Nodes, validate, transform, and cryptographically commit data on-chain. Every kill. Every combo. Every dodge. Turned into usable data—verified, structured, and ready for apps, predictions, LLM training, or gamers analytics.

For players, it means owning the value they create. For devs, it means real-time analytics, matchmaking insights, and game tuning without touching a line of code. For AI builders, it’s access to the most authentic stream of human-computer interaction data out there. What it enables is real-time, cross-game data networks that don’t just serve dashboards but power full-fledged AI agents, NPC logic, predictive analytics, and esports automation.

And now, it’s all running on their own Avalanche L1 chain.

Turf’s Collector and DO Nodes process gameplay data at lightning speed—but data orchestration is only half the battle. You need an execution layer fast enough to keep up. Their use case—live AI orchestration along with real-time inferencing, anti-cheat, and data monetization—needs sovereign performance.  That’s why Turf chose Avalanche.

Avalanche gives Turf:

• Deterministic finality to support real-time AI learning and esports event processing
• Composability for plugging in analytics, e-sports prediction markets, and dev tools
• Full-chain sovereignty and customizable economics

On Avalanche L1, they get fast finality, high-frequency state updates, and total control. They’re not logging data. They’re orchestrating the foundation for the next generation of games, apps, and agents.

That’s where Zeeve comes in.

To pull this off, Turf turned to Zeeve and its Avalanche-specialized infra stack Cogitus. Zeeve shipped a full-stack, production-grade L1 test network—complete with DO nodes for data orchestration, real-time validator sync, in-memory caching, and a gamer-first incentive design that powers Turf’s 450,000+ strong distribution network. 

For Turf, that means:

• Dedicated RPC endpoints fine-tuned for high-frequency data validation
• Full TraceHawk Explorer integration for monitoring every AI agent interaction, every validator reward, and every gameplay state
• Uptime guarantees and infra scalability for 10x growth spurts during tournaments, product launches, or seasonal events

“AI gaming needs more than cloud compute. It needs context. And context is gameplay data. Turf isn’t just solving that problem—they’re packaging it into a scalable L1 that devs can build on, gamers can earn from, and the next wave of intelligent games can plug into,” 

– Dr. Ravi Chamria, CEO & Co-founder of Zeeve.

Zeeve’s Cogitus stack enables fast state transitions, supports game-grade throughput, and handles the trustless validation required by Turf’s on-demand data economy. From AI-driven NPCs and player prediction models to esports analytics and real-time fan engagement, Turf’s use cases are not theoretical. They’re already powering thousands of player sessions.

With Avalanche L1 as its backbone and Zeeve’s Cogitus as its engine, Turf isn’t here to be a part of the web3 gaming narrative. It’s here to lead the next one, where gameplay data fuels AI agents, empowers gamers, and defines how game economies evolve.

This is Turf. Not only a chain. A protocol for the new era of gaming intelligence.

If you’re looking to build your own Avalanche-powered L1 optimized for scale, real-time throughput, or modular app-specific infra, Cogitus by Zeeve is the system that can take you live in days.
