Summary
Crypto gaming ecosystem Treasure has decided to stick with Arbitrum as its scaling solution, rejecting proposals from rival platforms Optimism, zkSync, and SKALE. Treasure plans to launch a Treasure Chain built on Arbitrum and using its existing MAGIC token to pay for gas. The chain will enable game creators to deploy their own layer-3 Infinity Chains that orbit it. The core team aims to get the Treasure Chain testnet launched by the end of Q2 2024, with a mainnet launch in Q3 2024. The plan is subject to approval from Treasure’s DAO.
Key Points
1. Treasure, a crypto gaming ecosystem built on Arbitrum, has decided to stick with Arbitrum despite attracting proposals from other scaling networks like Optimism, zkSync, and SKALE. The platform currently spans 15 games and plans to launch a Treasure Chain built on Arbitrum.
2. The proposed plan involves building a custom Ethereum layer-2 scaling network called the Treasure Chain, which will enable game creators to deploy their own layer-3 Infinity Chains that orbit it. The core team aims to launch the Treasure Chain testnet by the end of the quarter and the mainnet in Q3 2024, pending approval from the Treasure DAO.
3. Treasure’s decision to stick with Arbitrum is based on the specific functionality it offers and the existing user base in that ecosystem. They also see potential for interoperability and collaboration across the Arbitrum gaming space, although they are cautious about ensuring security and avoiding vulnerabilities in chain bridges. The plan presents opportunities for enhanced cohesion, utility for the MAGIC governance token, and the ability to enforce creator royalty settings on NFT sales.
