Really don't understand the massive investment into EVM / parallel EVMs when better and more modern VMs exist. It's like dumping millions into PHP in 2010. Doesn't make any sense.
We are thrilled to announce the launch of KittyKart on the
@Arbitrum
network!
This major milestone empowers us to leverage Arbitrum's Layer 2 scaling solutions, enhancing on-chain transactions for an unrivaled gaming experience.
Stay tuned for upcoming updates!

The best part is that players dont "feel" these transactions. The benefits of blockchain tech without the clunkiness. Single sig and go.

@tryMetaFab
Anything that would require a blockchain transaction or interaction in a game is magically handled under the hood by integrating MetaFab.
We’ve crunched the numbers from our first week of on-chain testing:
🎮 35 Playtesters
⚔️ 10,188 Battles
🕐 Over 300 Hours Played
💥 Avg. 8.5 Hours Played Per Playtester
Next week we’ll kick it up a notch with

I just Can't hold back from sharing this little clip before my next video drops!!!
So to all my Pirates

here's a clip that shows just how much faster

is compared to

Disclaimer I love both chains!
Weekly Web3 game tool overview 🔧 :
@FlairSDK
Let’s take a look at how Flair’s toolkit can be used to delegate the heavy-lifting of blockchain elements during game development 👇
@lostboyNFT
is a project with a purpose, to support mental health charities and share sales revenue. With a little momentum, this project will really start to get the attention it deserves. Here are my 2/6 of my lostboys, all long term holds
#MentalHealthMatters
After months in dev, we’re announcing BOLD (Bounded Liquidity Delay), a new dispute protocol that enables permissionless validation for Arbitrum chains, potentially removing the need for permissioned validation, dramatically improving decentralization.

Sequence is an all-in-one toolkit that expedites the web3 side of game development. The toolkit is modular, individual tools or the full stack can be used. Some key features:
- In-game wallet
- Unity & Unreal Engine SDK
- In-game fiat payments
- Whitelabel Marketplace
A lack of distribution platforms like console/steam/mobile is the main barrier to Web3 gaming adoption imo.
Getting a wallet + seed isn't as bad as it's made out to be. Obtaining a $400 xbox from the shop, affording a high spec gaming PC or spending hours downloading a 100GB…

2) The
@Treasure_DAO
NFT marketplace processed $260m of volume in Q1 2022, with a 1/1 Legion selling for over $1.5m (335k $MAGIC, 510 $ETH) 🔥
Why are Generation 1 Pirates launching on
@arbitrum
Nova?
Nova is a chain optimized for gaming and social applications. Created with the same standing as
Arbitrum One but a different consensus mechanism. It's
optimized for ultra low-cost transactions with strong security

App chain thought exercise:
What is the gas cost of bringing 100k gamers into a game specific L2 vs an L3?
L2 Gaming specific rollup:
Gamers withdraw from CEX to Eth L1, then bridge from L1 to the L2 app chain. Cost = ~£1m per 100k gamers (assuming $10 gas fee per user on Eth…

In-game wallet: This allows developers to build a fully functional non-custodial wallet into their game. Transactions can be signed by the user in-game, avoiding dependance on a clunky external wallet. Social login is a strong feature here as it greatly simplifies user onboarding
It's not a popular opinion that
@alexisohanian
shared, but I agree with it to a certain extent.
Whilst the current meta is that play-to-earn is dead, I expect it to grow strongly within certain gaming sectors such as casual gaming on mobile where the players are less…
Within the next 5 years, the majority of gamers won't play games unless they are being properly valued for that time.
The model is called "play-to-earn" and it will become standard for video games in the future.
Let’s talk about why ↓
@0xsequence
@0xHorizon
Unity & Unreal Engine SDK: Connect a game development environment to the blockchain with little to no web3 experience. Easily query users inventory, token balances and trigger transactions from the game.
I don't think people understand how
@AuroryProject
SyncSpace is going to change the game! Next level tech from a bunch of absolute legends! Congrats on Cross-Chain. This is just the beginning!

5) The 2nd Arbitrum chain, Nova is on the way. A social and gaming focussed chain which leverages AnyTrust technology to process micro-transactions secured by Ethereum L1. Gaming no longer needs to be relegated to side-chains ! 🎮🎮🎮
Here we go! 💙🧡
I'm thrilled to announce that
@rhascau
, a new fully onchain game, has chosen
@arbitrum
Nova as our scalling solution.
Arbitrum Nova technology allows user to play
@rhascau
with as little as $0.2 per match, leveraging the cutting-edge blockchain scalling 💙🧡
@0xsequence
@0xHorizon
Whitelabel marketplace: Easily spin up a custom hosted marketplace with no-code. Skinning the marketplace to match the game brand is an incredible feature for game devs. You'll also get a decentralised AMM for users to trade game assets quickly and securely 🤯
@0xsequence
@0xHorizon
In-game fiat payments: Allow users to purchase NFTs & tokens directly from the Sequence wallet with debit or credit card, avoiding traditionally complicated routes into web3.
What metrics define a web3 game as an 'indie game'?
I'll start with my subjective take:
- Has creative freedom with no external publisher in control
- Lean team (1-50 employees)
- Raised < $10m
Share your take! 👇
We're excited to announce that The Forgotten Runiverse will be launching on
@arbitrum
