Pirate Nation's Growth Boosted by Proof of Play's Boss Chain Launch

Launching Boss Chain

Proof of Play, the game studio known for the onchain game Pirate Nation, has announced the launch of Boss Chain, the second chain in its expanding multichain ecosystem. Set to go live on August 29th, this new chain is a significant step in Proof of Play’s goal to support over 100 million players. The introduction of Boss Chain will enhance horizontal scaling capabilities, providing a robust infrastructure for onchain gaming.

Pirate Nation, a pirate-themed RPG, is currently hosted on Proof of Play’s first chain, Apex. The game is free-to-play and has gained immense popularity, processing 2.5 million transactions daily. Apex is a global leader in real-world blockchain activity, but its capacity has been reached due to the game's popularity. To manage the growing number of players and transactions, Proof of Play decided to introduce Boss Chain. This addition will help continue accommodating the increasing demand.

The Proof of Play Multichain ecosystem is designed to handle the exponential growth of players. The interconnected chains are optimized for onchain gaming, ensuring a seamless experience. Players will benefit from fast block times and improved performance that surpasses traditional blockchain platforms. The multichain setup allows for smooth composability, enabling games and applications to scale effectively.

Vision for Scalable Onchain Gaming

Amitt Mahajan, Founder and CEO of Proof of Play, highlighted the importance of scaling across multiple chains. He explained that to accommodate a significant number of users, transactions must be distributed. This multichain architecture will use blockchain as an advanced database to store data, ensuring scalability for applications that go beyond gaming. The goal is to create an environment where large-scale applications can thrive.

Boss Chain will work alongside Apex, offering marketplace interoperability for Pirate Nation players. This means that players can trade items across chains without needing to bridge assets. To mark the launch, Proof of Play is offering special incentives. Players who migrate to Boss Chain will have the opportunity to unlock exclusive "Boss Skins" and earn a unique Boss Pioneer Achievement.

This strategic expansion is a key move for Proof of Play, ensuring that its ecosystem can grow and continue to provide a top-tier gaming experience. With Boss Chain, the platform is well-positioned to handle future growth and offer even more to its player base.
