What is XAI? The Next Big Thing in Blockchain-Powered Games

Xai is making waves in the world of blockchain gaming by offering a Layer-3 network built on Arbitrum, a solution for Ethereum’s scalability issues. In this article, we’ll explore how Xai is transforming gaming with its low fees, fast transactions, and innovative ecosystem.

From partnerships with major gaming platforms to unique titles like Planet-X and The Lost Glitches, Xai is the blockchain for devs and gamers. Curious about it works, latest gaming partnerships or games on Xai? We’ve got you covered.

How Xai Works

Xai was developed by Offchain Labs, the same team behind Arbitrum, a trusted scaling solutions on Ethereum. By building on the technology and security of Arbitrum, Xai is addressing core issues that have limited blockchain gaming, including high transaction fees and slow processing times.

Xai operates as a Layer-3 blockchain, combining the security of Ethereum with the scalability of Arbitrum. This setup allows the network to process transactions faster and at lower costs, aiming to ensure that gamers don’t experience the frustrating delays and high fees that plague other blockchain platforms.

Security and Scalability Features

Integrating with Arbitrum allows Xai to achieve a very high level of security while also addressing the blockchain scalability problem. Thanks to Xai’s roll-up protocol and its clever use of Arbitrum’s own roll-up technology, it can process an enormous number of transactions quickly and cheaply compared to other blockchain solutions.

Security inherited from Ethereum and its scalability makes the Xai platform perfect for games and developers who want to create large-scale interactive experiences. Layer-3 technology allows for the development of modern games and the support of their infrastructure, from fast, in-game transactions to sophisticated blockchain economies. With the Xai platform, developers can concentrate on what they do best—creating great user experiences and solid economic models.

Xai Token and Tokenomics

The network’s economic system revolves around the Xai token. It powers the network by allowing it to do what it needs to be a functioning network and covers all the transaction fees needed. It also allows project members to participate in the project’s governance.

Every transaction, whether it’s the gas fee for using the underlying protocol or the sale of an asset from one of the network’s many games, is conducted using Xai. And while gas fees are a reality in this world, Xai holders can also earn rewards by staking their tokens.

Staking Xai tokens helps secure the network and gives token holders the chance to earn rewards. When users stake their tokens, they enhance the stability and security of Xai’s ecosystem and receive a portion of the network’s network rewards proportionate to their contribution to the network.

Xai Ecosystem and Partnerships

Through key alliances with big players in the gaming and blockchain sectors, Xai’s ecosystem is quickly growing. An alliance formed with SuperVerse serves to illustrate how Xai is emerging as a groundbreaking layer-3 solution developed specifically for AAA gaming. In that partnership, SuperVerse and Xai are pushing the envelope on blockchain gaming to provide a decentralized network where anyone can run a node, earn rewards, and take part in governance.

Furthermore, Xai has partnered with Aethir to launch a $10 million ecosystem grant program aimed at supporting and onboarding AI-powered AAA games and gaming studios. The effort will supply studios with the infrastructure and necessary funding to realize their visions in the Xai ecosystem. Working with Aethir, Xai has its sights set on onboarding millions of gamers to its blockchain gaming platform.

Gaming Experiences on the Xai Blockchain

Planet-X

Planet-X is a mobile extraction shooter, blending classic shooting with a treasure hunter twist. Players scavenge for loot, looking for treasure chests filled with value. The chests include common chests filled with in-game currency or X-Tokens, and rare chests offer both X-Tokens and real-world prizes, ranging from iPhones and MacBooks to Tesla Cybertrucks.

With Xai integrated into the core, Planet-X gives players a unique chance to take away real, tangible rewards from their virtual accomplishments, bringing its in-game economy to a whole new level.

The Lost Glitches

The trading card game with elements of RPG, The Lost Glitches, takes place in the cyberpunk universe of Deep Sky Network. Participants collect and enhance cards that represent “Glitches,” individuals who have uploaded their consciousness into the network.

A new Commander system gives the card game a fresh feel; players choose leads who lend unique skills to implement and guide strategies. Available on the Epic Games Store, The Lost Glitches offers a compelling mix of lore and strategic depth that will draw in TCG and blockchain gaming devotees alike.

Xai Vanguard: Genesis

Xai Vanguard: Genesis is all about having fun and being fully immersed in the Xai Gaming universe. Each chapter of this adventure reveals more of the Xai universe and gives you quests that connect you to the community and reward you for your in-game efforts.

Phase 02 of Xai Vanguard: Genesis is live now on Galxe Quest. As you complete quests, players earn points on the Genesis leaderboard and those who stand out will get Legendary and Vanguard status and get exclusive roles and opportunities within the Xai ecosystem.

Future of Xai Gaming

Xai aspires to be the guiding light for traditional gamers venturing into the Web3 space. It promises a scalable, secure, and friendly platform that should be the basis for blockchain gaming’s next evolutionary step. In Xai’s ecosystem, the gamer is at the heart of the network’s design. Indeed, as Xai sees it, the future of Web3 revolves around gaming—partially because gaming is a massive and mostly untapped market for blockchain technology.

Overall, with initiatives like the $10 million ecosystem grant program and partnerships with gaming studios and blockchain providers, Xai is well-positioned to transform the gaming landscape. The goal is to create a seamless gaming experience where in-game economies and real-world rewards intersect, offering players new incentives to engage with blockchain-based games.
