Nolan Bushnell’s video game tournament platform Moxy teams up with SKALE Labs to transform prize-based gaming with cutting-edge blockchain technology, removing gas fees
SKALE, the gas-free imperceptible blockchain network, is excited to announce a groundbreaking partnership with Moxy, the pioneering video game and gaming tournament platform co-founded by Nolan Bushnell, the founding father of the video game industry and co-founder of Atari. In the 1970s, Bushnell created the groundbreaking first computer video game, “Pong.”
This partnership marks a milestone in connecting Web2 games and players to the Web3 rewards ecosystem. Bushnell adopts and expands SKALE’s imperceptible gas-free blockchain technology, signaling a significant shift in the evolution of the gaming industry.
Bushnell and the Moxy team selected SKALE for its unmatched speed and performance. SKALE’s recent Pacifica V3 update accelerated block mining speeds by 108% and increased transaction throughput by 122%, solidifying SKALE’s position as the world’s fastest and most competent blockchain in the ongoing battle for next-generation modularity and performance.
“Our partnership with SKALE is a game-changer for in-game rewards. By eliminating gas fees and leveraging SKALE’s high-bandwidth infrastructure, we’re setting a new standard for how players can earn rewards through gamification,” said Nolan Bushnell, co-founder of Moxy. “We now have the potential to bridge the gap between casual and competitive gaming experiences, creating a seamless and rewarding experience for all users.”
As part of this partnership, Moxy will deploy SKALE on the network and leverage SKALE’s advanced blockchain infrastructure. The deployment on SKALE will save Moxy users an impressive $3.5 million per year in transaction fees. Moxy Games will now have the opportunity to significantly elevate its competitive gaming environment and social rewards system by integrating advanced features and novel technologies that drive player engagement and reward loyalty. This enhancement will not only enrich the gaming experience, but also foster a more spirited and connected community.
“Nolan’s impact on the gaming world is profound and lasting. Joining forces with Moxy under his leadership allows us to showcase the true potential of SKALE technology,” said Andrew Saunders, Chief Marketing and Growth Officer at SKALE Labs. “This partnership will not only drive innovation, but also expand the reach and engagement of competitive games in the web3 space. As someone who grew up on Atari, we couldn’t be more excited to partner with such an iconic name and pioneer.”
This effect is further enhanced by Moxy’s collaboration with Overwolf, a platform with a prospering community of 45 million vigorous players.
The recent partnership between Moxy and SKALE Labs addresses key challenges in blockchain-enhanced gaming, such as high gas fees and snail-paced transaction speeds. Leveraging SKALE’s advanced infrastructure, this joint effort represents a significant step forward in improving the gaming experience in the rapidly evolving blockchain landscape.
