Metacade, the
world’s first community-led gaming platform, has confirmed a collaboration with
Polygon Labs, focused on driving user acquisition, testing and the adoption of
100’s of new games and customers on the Polygon protocols. The move opens up
the brand to a significant global audience of gamers on the biggest gaming
blockchain to add to the already vibrant community of gaming enthusiasts on
Metacade.
Metacade’s
CEO, Russell Bennett, said “This collaboration has always been a part of our
goals, driven by our profound respect for Polygon Labs’ remarkable work and our
shared passion for blockchain gaming. After all, it’s evident that the Polygon
protocols will play a pivotal role in the future of the industry. My team and I
are working tirelessly to deliver a modern UI that can scale for both off-chain
and on-chain usage within our game suite. Furthermore, we’re dedicated to
supporting hundreds of new games across all formats. Developing on Polygon will
help us deliver a bigger and better Metacade primed for the growing global
GameFi market.”
Polygon
and the road to mass adoption
The
Polygon protocols, a leading set of Ethereum-scaling blockchain architecture,
have become a linchpin in the realm of gaming, the intersection of gaming and
decentralized finance. This blockchain network has revolutionized the GameFi
landscape by addressing the scalability and cost issues that once hindered the
growth of blockchain gaming. The Polygon protocols’ efficient scaling solutions
and low transaction fees have not only enhanced the gaming experience but have
also opened doors for developers to create immersive, blockchain-powered games
that offer true ownership of in-game assets and the potential for financial
rewards.
This
commitment to improved gaming experiences complements Metacade’s vision of
delivering the latest in premium gaming to its customers; especially due to the
efficiency with which P2E can be delivered. Reduced gas fee transactions mean a
more immersive and smoother gaming experience that isn’t mired by high-cost and
slow transactions.
The
Polygon protocols have seen huge success with 100s of games launched, with a
number of viral projects including Gelato (GEL). This is especially significant
for Metacade, which initially focused on Arcade games but recently has
re-positioned to support a much larger range of game types.
Dennis
Lavelle, Head of Partnerships at Metacade said “the amount of conversations
we’ve had with gaming studios and blockchains this Q3 about where the industry
is moving led us to the decision to broaden our product offering. It’s the
natural evolution of Metacade, rather than a tangent. We’ll always stay true to
our roots in arcade gaming but embracing modern mobile gaming puts us in a
significantly stronger position to capture a bigger slice of the gaming pie,
and also attract more investment in the MCADE token and consequently reward the
loyalty of our investor community”.
