Octo Gaming is a social gaming platform and has more than 3 million people using it. It has collaborated with Starknet, a Layer 2 scalability platform supported by the Starknet Foundation.
The partnership allows Octo Gaming to deploy Layer 2 technology to fasten the speed of the game, reduce the transaction process, and integrate its mobile games into the Web3 environment.
Introducing Bro Jump: An Exclusive Starknet Game
Octo Gaming will introduce a game, Amazon Bro Jump, on the occasion of this partnership. The new name is based on the meme StarknetBro. Players tap, jump, and climb to get rewards.
Since all the work of taps, jumps, and rewards is calculated almost instantly on Starknet’s rollup technology, millions of users can play at once without congesting the underlying chain.
Using Starknet Unlimited Scalability
Starknet is a Layer 2 validity rollup that unites unlimited scalability and strong security and decentralization of Ethereum.
Starknet settles any given transaction proof on Ethereum, as a result of which any transaction can be verified on the blockchain, and player assets and achievements cannot be altered.
What this implies for Octo Gaming is that the bigger tournaments, real-time leaderboard, and tokenized rewards can now take place without limited performance.
Developers can add new features, NFTs, and community competitions, knowing that all players can join without lag.
Enhancing Web3 Community Engagement
This partnership adds value beyond infrastructure, as it introduces new social and economic aspects to the community where Octo operates. Using the low-cost and high-speed transactions that StarkNet offers, Octo can launch:
- On-chain Leaderboards: Unforgeable leaderboards recording the ranking of players in real time.
- Tokenized Rewards: In-game achievements become a unique NFT or an ERC-20 token, which actually belongs to the player.
- Community Tournaments: feature decentralized prize pools that utilize a smart contract for funding and distribution.
Those functions help the 3-million-strong user base of Octo to not only compete but also rule and grow the ecosystem via decentralized governance and shared treasury.
Scalable Web3 Gaming
The Octo Gaming and StarkNet collaboration is one of the examples of the next generation of mobile blockchain games that are free to play, massively scalable, and highly interconnected with on-chain mechanics.
With Octo combining the power of a popular and pleasant social gaming platform with the advanced rollup technology of StarkNet, the two teams are set on a path to the vision of Web3 games playing with a mainstream audience without compromising safety or collective control.
