We have integrated with Base, the Ethereum Layer 2 network incubated by Coinbase. This partnership allows developers to build low-cost, scalable games while using Openfort to simplify complex blockchain interactions for their players.
What is the Base Integration?
BASE is a secure, developer-friendly L2 built on the OP Stack. By integrating with Base, Openfort enables game studios to offer gasless transactions and smart accounts to a massive audience of Coinbase users. This integration is essential for developers looking to scale their onchain applications without the typical high fees or onboarding friction found on Ethereum mainnet.
Simplifying Onchain Gaming
The integration uses account abstraction to make blockchain interactions invisible. Players don't need to manage private keys or worry about gas fees, reducing the entry barriers for casual gamers.
For example, we supported Exhale Studios in building 'Snake on Base' during the Onchain Summer event, demonstrating how quickly a studio can launch a smooth, onchain game using this integration.
Looking Forward
This partnership represents a significant step forward in making blockchain technology more accessible and practical for game development. It's not just about technological advancement; it's about empowering developers and studios to innovate and expand their offerings in the gaming market.
