TL;DR
Full Story
Web3 gaming keeps taking small steps forward.
Like, this week Animoca Brands and the layer-2 blockchain ‘LightLink’ teamed up to create gas-free Ethereum games.
Which sounds both confusing and inconsequential.
But here’s the deal:
A gaming world where gas fees (aka crypto transaction fees) are not involved, helps lower a big barrier to entry.
(Cause who wants to have to pay every time they pick up an item in-game? No thank you).
Figuring out a way to sustainably subsidize these fees will open the door for a ton of onboarding to the Web3 space, via gaming.
Whether Animoca and LightLink have figured out a sustainable way to cover gas fees, or are just taking one for the team — is unclear.
(Our guess is the latter).
Regardless, this will make the Web3 gaming world more accessible and user-friendly.
Which we love.
Two enthusiastic thumbs up, right here!
