Ancient8 is a community-driven, gaming-focused Ethereum Layer 2 network. It is built on the OP Stack and enhanced with Celestia to address the scalability and adoption challenges faced by Web3 gaming and consumer dApps. By leveraging the strengths of Optimism and Celestia, Ancient8 prioritizes speed and cost-effectiveness, equipping developers with state-of-the-art technology for on-chain game development.
The Web3 gaming market is rapidly evolving, demanding a seamless user experience. For blockchain game developers, ensuring smooth, user-friendly interactions is increasingly challenging as Web3 games incorporate more functionality.
In collaboration with Etherspot, Ancient8 offers developers a sophisticated suite of account abstraction tools, including Etherspot’s Prime SDK, Skandha Bundler, Arka Paymaster, and more. These tools enable the implementation of smart accounts, unlocking a host of advanced features that facilitate smooth interactions with Web3 games.
Developers on the Ancient8 chain can integrate the following features into their Web3 games:
Simple Blockchain Operations: With account abstraction, users no longer need to repeatedly confirm or approve transactions. This streamlines blockchain interaction, especially for applications that require frequent transactions.
Web2-like Onboarding via Social Media Accounts: Users can log into a Web3 game using their social media accounts like X(Twitter), Discord or Gmail. A smart wallet is automatically created for them, simplifying onboarding and eliminating technical barriers.
Transaction Batching: By combining multiple transactions in a single one, users can significantly reduce gas costs and save time.
Gasless Transactions: To perform transactions on a blockchain, users must hold the blockchain's native tokens to cover gas fees. This requirement can be a hurdle for both newcomers and experienced users. With Etherspot’s Arka Paymaster, developers can either sponsor user transactions or enable users to pay gas fees using stablecoins.
Seamless Cross-Chain Interactions: Etherspot supports over 22 EVM chains, offering users the flexibility to interact with a variety of tokens without worrying about interoperability issues and RPC network switching.
