1 minute read
Playnance has announced the planned launch of PlayBlock, a Layer 3 gaming ecosystem developed on the Arbitrum Orbit.
A press release shared with Cryptonews.com revealed that PlayBlock is seeking to improve Playnance’s offering in the Web3 gaming space and attract over 10,000 daily active users by providing a variety of gaming options.
Gaming network with improved user experience
In collaboration with Gelato’s Rollup-as-a-Service (RaaS) platform, PlayBlock aims to empower Web3 gaming by eliminating gas fees and breaking down traditional blockchain barriers to improve. This initiative could provide game developers with comprehensive white labeling options and smooth platform integrations to overcome common user experience hurdles.
Roman Levi, CTO at Playnance, emphasized the platform’s design goals. “Our goal is to combine the benefits of Web3 on-chain gaming with the fun and accessibility of traditional gaming, all without the Web3 complexities,” he explained.
The chain is designed to support a wide range of games, from decentralized trading to sports and arcade genres, and is intended to appeal to a wide user base.
PlayBlock with the technical advantages of Arbitrum
PlayBlock also uses Arbitrum Nitro’s rollup technology for its operation. This combination is intended to promote a more user-friendly gaming experience on the blockchain and improve aspects such as transparency, fairness and ownership of in-game assets.
Integration with Arbitrum Anytrust technology also allows the network to have a 250ms block time and near-instant transaction finality, making it easier to process thousands of transactions per second.
PlayBlock will also bring the PBG token, leveraging Orbit’s native gas token functionality to provide gamers with a gas fee-free environment. Additionally, the launch of PlayBlock Layer3’s own stablecoin USDP, pegged to the US dollar, is expected to mitigate market volatility.
“Playnance approached us with a request to develop an end-to-end gaming platform that supports thousands of games and millions of users,” said Gelato founder Hilmar Orth.
“We have developed a full-service, gaming-first, auto-scalable rollup infrastructure that enables Playnance to grow and scale quickly while focusing on its core business,” Orth explained.
