Proof of Play Launches Multichain Network for On-Chain Games and Dapps
Proof of Play, the studio behind the blockchain role-playing game Pirate Nation, has announced the launch of Multichain, a network of chains designed for fully on-chain games and decentralized applications (dapps). Powered by Arbitrum Orbit, an Ethereum scaling technology, Multichain is described as an “ultra-fast constellation of blockchains.” Initially used to power Pirate Nation, Proof of Play plans to open up Multichain to other game and dapp developers. The goal is to provide infrastructure and support for anyone looking to build on-chain games. Multichain is expected to launch soon, with Pirate Nation debuting on Apex, the network’s first chain.
Migrating from Polygon to Arbitrum
In March 2023, Proof of Play announced its decision to migrate from Polygon due to high network fees. By running its on-chain game entirely on Arbitrum, Proof of Play aims to eliminate costly gas fees and provide a seamless gaming experience. Unlike most blockchain games that run gameplay code on external servers, Arbitrum enables games to run fully on-chain without delays or hitches. After migrating to Multichain, Pirate Nation will introduce new features such as real-time player-vs-player combat and onboard users from other platforms.
A Growing Ecosystem of Arbitrum Gaming Networks
Multichain’s launch follows other gaming networks on Arbitrum. The ApeCoin DAO recently voted to launch an “ApeChain” layer-3 network, while Treasure plans to launch its upgraded Treasure Chain. Additionally, the Xai layer-3 gaming network has already been launched on Arbitrum with a token airdrop for early contributors. With the introduction of Multichain, Proof of Play aims to expand the ecosystem and make it easier for developers to build on-chain games and dapps.
Hot Take: Multichain Revolutionizes On-Chain Gaming
With the launch of Multichain, Proof of Play is revolutionizing the world of on-chain gaming. By leveraging Arbitrum’s scaling technology, Multichain offers an ultra-fast constellation of blockchains that enable fully on-chain games and dapps. This move not only benefits Pirate Nation but also opens up opportunities for other game and dapp developers to join the ecosystem. The migration from Polygon to Arbitrum addresses the issue of high network fees and ensures a seamless gaming experience. As the ecosystem continues to grow with new gaming networks on Arbitrum, the future of on-chain gaming looks promising.
