Who Wants To Have To Pay Every Time They Pick up an Item In-Game? No Thank You.

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!
