Moonveil, a pioneering Web3 game studio, has announced that it will launch its gamer-centric Layer-2 Chain testnet which Polygon CDK will power. This release was highly anticipated as it represents a significant move forward on its mission to build a gamer-first ecosystem that seeks to change how games are developed and experienced in the blockchain ecosystem.
The new Layer-2 chain testnet incorporates a ZK-powered Polygon CDK together with AggLayer to provide scalable, customizable and secure solutions for developers onboard. What it does is, it delivers a promise of seamless user experience which fast transactions and elevated security will mainly characterize. By modularizing the major operations such as transactions and oracles and in turn, distributing them across the various layers, the network can achieve greater efficiency, lower costs and better security, all of which are key elements for a high-performance gaming environment.
“Our Layer-2 Chain testnet is a major step in revolutionizing the gaming space with unparalleled scalability and performance,” said M.J Wang, Co-Founder and CEO of Moonveil Entertainment. “Powered by Polygon CDK and AggLayer, this chain delivers a fast, secure, and customizable environment for both developers and gamers. We are excited to invite the community to join us, as node sales will soon begin, offering an opportunity to be part of this transformative journey.”
The Moonveil’s modular approach gives gamers the ability to test as well as implement new technologies while having minimal to no disruptions to the system overall. This flexibility is crucial as rapid feature integration is essential for staying competitive, especially in fast-integrating game products. That being the case, developers can focus on innovation without compromising stability or speed.
On the Layer-2 Chain testnet, it is clear that technologies such as Polygon Zero and zkEVM which enable fast network finality and frequent validity proofs have been leveraged, providing the world’s fastest ZK proofs. As a result, transaction costs are drastically reduced, making gas fees virtually negligible for gamers. Furthermore, by utilizing recursive STARK technology, developers can create a variety of decentralized applications (dApps) and games without rewriting the code, streamlining the development process.
On the other hand, the AggLayer, a product that was co-developed with Polygon Labs, introduces smooth interoperability between the different game products. Through its unified cross-chain liquidity, it is able to eliminate mismatches between gas tokens and in-game tokens, ensuring an effortless user experience. $MORE tokens, used for gas, further simplify the process by creating a chain-abstracted, smooth onboarding experience.
Launch of Flaming Pets Game
One of the standout features of the AggLayer is its ability to allow developers to create independent spaces for different game products, enhancing modularity and allowing for better organization. What this means for the developers is that they can divide game sub-scenes and improve the overall structure and gameplay.
In conjunction with the testnet launch, Moonveil has also announced that there will be a release of Flaming Pets, a multiplayer arena game set in a magical world of 25 enchanted castles. Designed as a key tool for testing and optimizing Moonveil’s Layer-2 technology, Flaming Pets promises players a thrilling, competitive experience while contributing to the ecosystem’s evolution.
Since it was founded in 2022, Moonveil has been able to raise $9 million from renowned investors, including Gumi Cryptos, Spartan Group, HashKey Capital, Animoca Ventures, and others. This not only highlights its strong financial backing but also the confidence vested in its vision of creating a robust, scalable gaming ecosystem.
