Aavegotchi to launch Layer 3 rollup using Base for settlement in Q2 2024
Quick Take Gotchichain will be a Layer 3 rollup for the Aavegotchi game, using Base for settlement. The team at Aavegotchi is targeting a Q2 launch for its Layer 3 focused on blockchain gaming.
Gotchichain, a Layer 3 rollup dedicated to the Aavegotchi on-chain game, will use Base as its settlement layer.
Originally developed using Polygon’s software package, Gotchichain is set to launch in the second quarter of 2024 and focus on blockchain gaming.
Base is an EVM-compatible Layer 2 chain incubated by Coinbase. The team at Aavegotchi will leverage Base to offer an on-chain gaming platform called “Gaming Console.”
Aavegotchi may also explore the use of the Optimism stack with Gotchichain to further widen and scale its ecosystem.
Aavegotchi, a trading game inspired by 1990s Tamagotchi toys, features non-fungible tokens that function as tradable digital characters. Launched in January 2021, it was initially deployed on the Polygon sidechain. Now, it will have its own dedicated Layer 3 chain.
“The Aavegotchi Gaming Console, powered by Gotchichain and Base’s infrastructure, is set to offer open-source, onchain gaming like never before. We are delighted to deliver a powerful gaming experience to our users, powered by fast and scalable L2 technology,” said Coderdan, CEO of Pixelcraft Studios, the firm that developed the game.
After the proliferation of rollups, developers can now spin up Layer 3 chains that settle transactions on Layer 2s including Optimism, Base, Arbitrum and others. Layer 3 chains offer lower transaction fees and block space dedicated to specific applications.
