Crypto Gaming Ecosystem Treasure Commits to Arbitrum
The crypto gaming ecosystem Treasure has decided to stick with Arbitrum as its scaling network of choice. While other options like Optimism, zkSync, and SKALE were considered, Treasure plans to launch a Treasure Chain on Arbitrum. This custom layer-2 scaling network will enable game creators to deploy their own layer-3 Infinity Chains that orbit it. The proposal is awaiting approval from the Treasure DAO before implementation.
Benefits of Sticking with Arbitrum
Treasure co-founder Karel Vuong cited deficiencies in rival proposals as the reason for choosing Arbitrum. They believe that Arbitrum offers specific functionality they need and they already have a user base in that ecosystem. Additionally, the bond between Treasure and Offchain Labs, the developer of Arbitrum, played a role in the decision.
Potential for Interoperability and Collaboration
Treasure sees potential for interoperability and collaboration within the Arbitrum gaming space. However, they are cautious about ensuring security and avoiding compromises. Bridges between chains have been susceptible to attacks in the past.
Future Plans
If the proposed plan is approved, the Treasure Chain testnet will launch by the end of Q2 2024, followed by a mainnet launch in Q3 2024. The plan aims to enhance cohesion across the Treasure ecosystem, increase utility for the MAGIC governance token, and enforce creator royalty settings on NFT sales.
Hot Take: Treasure Commits to Building a Bottom-Up Decentralized Game Publisher

With their growing list of games and plans for expansion, they aim to create an interconnected gaming ecosystem powered by the Treasure Chain. By leveraging the benefits of Arbitrum and collaborating with Offchain Labs, Treasure aims to become a major player in the crypto gaming industry.
