The partnership will allow Moxy’s end-users to indulge in blockchain gaming without paying gas.

SKALE, an Ethereum layer-2 network, has partnered with Moxy, a Web3 gaming platform, to facilitate blockchain gaming without gas for end-users. Moxy, an eSports gaming platform, is highly notable for the mind behind its creation—Nolan Bushnell—who is also behind the creation of Atari, Pong, and Chuck E. Cheese.

Moxy to Save $3.5 Million Annually Thanks to ‘Gasless Gaming’

Moxy initially relied on Ethereum for its on-chain purposes. The move to SKALE is expected to save the gaming company $3.5 million annually thanks to gas fee elimination. Bushnell commented about the partnership through an announcement from SKALE, “By eliminating gas fees and utilizing SKALE’s high-speed infrastructure, we are setting a new standard for what gamers and developers can expect. This partnership bridges the gap between traditional and blockchain gaming, creating a seamless and rewarding experience for all.”

While SKALE rolling up transactions to Ethereum incurs gas fees, developers launching their dApps on the layer-2 pay subscription fees instead of gas. That, coupled with the already low transaction costs on layer-2s, makes a network like SKALE perfect for gaming. Moxy will move its native asset, WMOXY, to SKALE from Ethereum to leverage the lower costs. It plans on reinvesting the saved funds into its ecosystem, “enhancing the competitive gaming environment and boosting rewards for players.”

SKALE co-founder Jack O’Holleran expressed his delight about the collaboration on X. “I’m pumped that the founder of Atari (also the founder of Chucky Cheese and Pong) and his amazing teammates at @Moxyio are building on SKALE.” The network’s chief marketing and growth officer, Andrew Saunders, also spoke about the partnership. “Nolan’s influence on the gaming world is profound and enduring. Partnering with Moxy under his leadership allows us to demonstrate the true potential of SKALE’s technology.”

This move could push investor interest in the blockchain gaming niche back up. A Dappradar report indicated that the flow of VC funds into the category hit lows that have were not witnessed since Q3 2020.
