“XP Network arrived right when I was about to reinvent the wheel and saved me years of development and a serious budget hit by solving every problem on my roadmap (plus a few I hadn’t spotted yet). Their team goes above and beyond at every turn, making it clear they’re not just building a platform, they’re building their partners.” — High Noon Games

How It Started
Section titled “How It Started”My name is Jason Hawronsky, CEO and Co-Founder of XP Network.
I started my gaming career in 1998 as a 13-year-old Warhammer stockist. What began in my mom’s guest room turned into a lifelong career in publishing, retail, and gaming, spanning over 25 years.
Jasco Games
Section titled “Jasco Games”Jasco Games grew from a small operation into a full retail store, and eventually into a publishing company. I acquired and revived the Universal Fighting System (now UniVersus) and went on to publish titles like:
- Street Fighter: The Miniatures Game
- Mega Man: The Board Game
- Buffy the Vampire Slayer Board Game
- Evil Dead II
- Top Gun Plot Twist Party Game
Through it all, I saw the same recurring problems:
- Disconnected fanbases
- Outdated event tools
- No scalable loyalty systems
- No centralized home for communities
The Moment That Changed Everything
Section titled “The Moment That Changed Everything”The story of XP Network begins in 2015 at Lvl Up Expo in Las Vegas. During a live-streamed tournament, we discovered we had over 200,000 concurrent viewers on Twitch. That moment showed us the massive potential of connected gaming ecosystems.
Shortly after, partnerships formed with leaders from Twitch and the broader gaming world. The vision was simple:
“Build a platform that rewards people for doing what they love.”
A system that would:
- Solve publisher problems
- Drive retail engagement
- Support organized play
- Reward fans
- Connect communities
The Band Reassembles
Section titled “The Band Reassembles”In 2020, the pandemic paused progress. In 2021, I sold Jasco Games.
In 2022, I began reconnecting with key partners to bring the vision back to life. The team reassembled, and XP Network officially moved forward.
We brought on Chase Farmer as CTO, who previously:
- Helped launch Apple Music and build the first App Store for Apple TV
- Led growth and developer experience engineering at Plaid, building infrastructure that powered Robinhood, Venmo, Coinbase, Cash App, Shopify, and the largest banks in the world
We’ve been building XP Network ever since. This is a passion project, something gamers, creators and communities have needed for decades.
Our mission: Bring peace and entertainment to the universe.
Let’s reward every fan, everywhere.
Built by veterans from Apple, Twitch, Uber, Meta, Fantasy Flight Games, Jasco Games, LiveNation, Ticketmaster, and Plaid.
