Moonveil announces upcoming launch of Gamer-Centric Layer-2 Chain Testnet

Cayman Island, October 8, 2024 –– Pioneering web3 game studio Moonveil has announced the upcoming launch of its gamer-focused Layer-2 Chain testnet, powered by Polygon CDK. The highly anticipated release marks a major milestone in the studio’s mission to create a gamer-first ecosystem.

Moonveil’s Layer-2 Chain testnet leverages the power of the zk-powered Polygon CDK and AggLayer, providing a customizable and scalable solution for developers and a seamless, fast, and secure experience for users.

By modularizing functions such as transactions and oracles and distributing them across different layers and modules, the speed and efficiency of the entire network can be significantly improved, with lower operational costs and stronger security benefits.

As a result of improved modularization, game developers can more easily test and integrate new technologies and features without impacting the overall system, a critical requirement for rapidly iterating game products.

MJ Wang, co-founder and CEO of Moonveil Entertainment, said: “Moonveil is excited to announce the upcoming launch of our Layer 2 Chain testnet, an important step toward revolutionizing gaming with unparalleled scalability and performance. Powered by Polygon CDK and AggLayer, this chain provides a fast, secure, and customizable solution for developers and gamers alike. In addition to the launch, our node sale will begin soon, inviting the community to be part of this transformative journey. “

Moonveil’s Layer-2 Chain achieves high performance through fast network finality, frequent valid proofs, and Polygon Zero technology, which provides the fastest ZK proof in the world. Thanks to the use of Polygon zkEVM, transaction costs are dramatically reduced, making gas costs no longer an issue for gamers. The use of recursive STARK technology means developers can create a wide range of dApps and games without having to rewrite code.

The AggLayer, an interoperability infrastructure co-developed by Polygon Labs, provides unified cross-chain liquidity, which is essential for smooth interoperability and collaboration between gaming products. Since $MORE tokens are used for gasoline, the discrepancies between gas tokens and in-game tokens are also eliminated, ensuring a smooth, chain-abstracted experience and effortless user onboarding.

Additionally, the AggLayer allows developers to easily create independent spaces, giving any gaming product the flexibility to have one or more dedicated environments for better modular design. It even becomes possible to split up sub-scenes of games, improving the overall structure and organization of the game world.

In addition to the testnet launch, Moonveil has announced the upcoming release of Flaming Pets, an on-chain game set in a magical world of 25 enchanted castles. This strategic multiplayer arena game will serve as a key tool for optimizing the studio’s L2 technology and providing players with an exciting, competitive gameplay experience.

By ensuring robust protection for state attestations, bridging and cross-chain messaging, the studio believes it has created a best-in-class experience for players interacting with the fast-growing gaming-focused ecosystem.

Moonveil will also soon begin selling nodes, allowing the community to actively participate in the growth of its ecosystem.

Since its founding in 2022, Moonveil has raised $9 million from major investors such as Gumi Cryptos, Spartan Group, Capital, HashKey Capital, Animoca Ventures, Hivemind and Mask Network. This substantial support underlines the industry’s confidence in the studio’s vision, technology and experience.
