The Aavegotchi gaming platform, renowned for its blockchain-based games, is set to adopt the Coinbase-supported Base network, a Layer-2 solution, for its infrastructure. The shift to Gotchichain, a Layer-3 rollup scheduled for launch in Q2 2024, aims to enhance the gaming experience for blockchain enthusiasts. Gotchichain is a product of Polygon’s suite and represents a significant move for the Aavegotchi game, which began operations on the Polygon network in January 2021.
A New Chapter for Chain-Based Gaming
The Base network, which is compatible with Ethereum‘s Virtual Machine, will be foundational for Aavegotchi’s new Gaming Console, designed for Web3 users. Further, Aavegotchi is considering collaborations with the Optimism rollup solution to grow its ecosystem’s capabilities. The game, reminiscent of the iconic 90s Tamagotchi toys, incorporates NFTs that serve as tradable digital avatars.
Pixelcraft Studios’ CEO, known as Coderdan, emphasized the team’s commitment to delivering a pioneering on-chain gaming platform. The integration with Base’s infrastructure promises to provide a gaming experience supported by robust, scalable Layer-2 technology.
Layer-3 Advantages and GameFi Sector Growth
Rollup solutions are spurring the development of Layer-3 ecosystems that operate transactions within Layer-2 frameworks such as Optimism and Base. This innovation is paving the way for lower transaction costs and dedicated block space for niche applications. As the GameFi sector continues to advance, it garners increasing attention from both gaming enthusiasts and investors alike.
GameFi projects are making strides with their focus on NFT trade and tokenization. They’re also creating buzz through airdrop events catering to investors. As such, with each progressive step, these projects continue to attract investment and spotlight within the blockchain domain.
