A Promising Future for Gaming Developers
The collaboration between Matter Labs and iCandy Interactive is promising for gaming developers. With a dedicated team to promote decentralized gaming, developers can access engineering resources, game deployment strategies, and tools/code libraries to ease the development process. This partnership also aims to provide mentorship from industry leaders and contributes to the decentralization strategies of zkCandy.
Matter Labs, known for their Zero-Knowledge (ZK) Stack framework, will contribute their technological expertise and engineering support to optimize zkCandy for Web3 gaming. On the other hand, iCandy Interactive brings a wealth of experience and influence to the partnership, with over 400 million mobile game downloads and partnerships with industry giants such as Baidu, SK Telecom, Singtel, and Animoca Brands. This combination of expertise and experience makes zkCandy a force to be reckoned with in the gaming industry.
Hyperchain Technology
zkSync is leveraging advanced zero-knowledge (ZK) technology to enhance the Ethereum network’s capacity and help bring cryptocurrency into the mainstream. This technology aims to reach a vast audience, including millions of developers and billions of people, offering a tech-based solution to drive progress and prosperity.
An integral part of zkSync’s approach is the concept of hyperchains. This system allows users to have wallets that work across various blockchain networks, all managed through a cross-hyperchain wallet system. What this means for users is that their wallets will be able to display all their assets, regardless of the blockchain network they belong to.
