Exclusive Ethereum Layer-3 Gaming Chain Unveiled by Aavegotchi Studio
Pixelcraft Studios, the entity responsible for the crypto game Aavegotchi, has unveiled its plans to introduce a specialized Ethereum layer-3 gaming blockchain named Geist, exclusively for members.
Geist, empowered by various Ethereum scaling technologies, aims to address prevalent challenges in the current crypto gaming landscape, including high player turnover and the widespread use of “botting” to manipulate rewards programs.
The CEO of Pixelcraft, known as Coderdan, highlighted that Geist represents a response to the demand for a more reliable and innovative gaming blockchain. The platform’s distinctive ecosystem is set to establish a new standard for crypto gaming, ensuring a secure and captivating experience for all participants.
Geist will leverage multiple Ethereum scaling technologies, incorporating Arbitrum’s Orbit technology and relying on Coinbase’s Base network for settlement. Alchemy, a blockchain development platform, is also contributing to the network’s development.
The platform will require players to meet specific criteria for network access, such as owning an Aavegotchi NFT. Additionally, users will be able to become members by fulfilling certain obligations. While membership entails ongoing payments at the end of each cycle, invitations will come with a seven-day complimentary trial period.
Existing holders of Aavegotchi NFTs will be eligible for a complimentary membership, with further details to be disclosed in the future. Geist, akin to rival Ethereum gaming networks like Ronin and Xai, will be permissioned, allowing developers to regulate which teams can build on the chain. The platform will offer a curated selection of games approved by Pixelcraft Studios or AavegotchiDAO.
Key features of the Geist platform will include exclusive rewards like badges and loot boxes, seamless game integration, an NFT marketplace named Aavegotchi Baazaar, and technical capabilities such as a native on-chain random number generator and support for gasless transactions. The native token for the network will be Aavegotchi’s GHST.
Geist intends to provide members with opportunities to earn a portion of marketplace and sequencer fees through staking. To enhance user engagement, the platform plans to collaborate with major exchanges for convenient ETH and GHST onramps.
Although a specific launch date was not disclosed, Geist is anticipated to debut in the upcoming months, with a testnet release preceding the mainnet launch.
