Xai Launches XAI Token and Partners with Laguna Games
Xai, the layer-3 gaming network built on Ethereum scaler Arbitrum, has made a strong start to 2024. The network has launched its XAI token to early supporters and announced a partnership with NFT game studio Laguna Games. This collaboration will bring Crypto Unicorns and other titles to the Xai network. But what’s next for Xai? More games, of course.
Ex Populus: The First Game Studio on Xai
Ex Populus, a game studio that serves the Xai Foundation, is set to release its games in the coming months. The first game, called Final Form, is a card-battler game with NFTs. It will support NFT cards from Solana via a bridge to Arbitrum. Another game from Ex Populus is LAMOverse, an online action game tied to physical LAMO toys based on gaming influencers. Ex Populus chose to build on Arbitrum after exploring other Ethereum scaling networks.
The Role of Ex Populus
Ex Populus not only develops games but also acts as a distribution partner and helps other studios onboard to Xai. Laguna Games will be migrating its Crypto Unicorns games and associated NFTs from Polygon to Xai with Ex Populus’ assistance. This dual role positions Ex Populus as the Web3 version of Valve or Epic Games.
Xai’s Appeal to Traditional Gamers
Xai aims to make the adoption of user-owned NFT assets and crypto-driven economies easier for traditional gamers. The network abstracts away the complexities of wallet use and asset handling, providing a gas-free experience for players. Wallets are managed by the Xai team in the back end, but users can bring their own wallets if desired.
Hot Take: Xai’s Rise and Future
Xai has experienced significant success with its Sentry Node sale and XAI airdrop. The partnership with Laguna Games marks a major milestone for the network, as it transitions from hype to having real games on its platform. Xai’s journey has been a gradual process of building community and excitement. With more games on the horizon, Xai is poised for continued growth in the decentralized gaming space.
