Aavegotchi, dedicated to the on-chain game, will utilize the popular crypto exchange Coinbase-backed Layer-2 network Base as its infrastructure network. Developed initially using Polygon‘s software suite, Gotchichain is set to launch in the second quarter of 2024 and will serve users interested in blockchain games.
Aavegotchi’s Layer-3 Move
Base, is a Layer-2 network compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine and is supported by Coinbase. The Aavegotchi team will benefit from the Base network to offer a chain-based gaming platform called Gaming Console to Web3 users. Aavegotchi is also considering the Optimism rollup solution to further expand and scale its ecosystem.
Inspired by the 1990s Tamagotchi toys, Aavegotchi is a trading game that includes NFT pieces functioning as tradable digital characters. The game, launched in January 2021, was initially presented to users on the Polygon network. In the future, the team will have its own dedicated Layer-3 chain. Coderdan, CEO of Pixelcraft Studios, which developed the game, made the following statement:
“Gotchichain and the Aavegotchi Gaming Console supported by Base’s infrastructure are preparing to offer an open-source, on-chain gaming experience like never before. We are happy to provide our users with a strong gaming experience supported by fast and scalable Layer-2 technology.”
With the proliferation of rollup solutions, developers can now create Layer-3 ecosystems that perform transactions within Layer-2 ecosystems, including Optimism, Base, Arbitrum, and others. Layer-3 chains offer lower transaction fees and dedicated block space for specific applications.
