Anomaly, announces the launch of the first AI-powered zero-gas Layer-3 gaming platform leveraging a play-to-airdrop mechanism targeting Telegram’s 900 million daily active users. Powered by Arbitrum Orbit and using Gelato’s Rollup-as-a-Service (RaaS), Anomaly’s new Layer-3 is set to redefine the gaming industry empowering developers to create immersive decentralized gaming experiences with unprecedented speed leveraging AI-enabled Game Engine, while completely abstracting away blockchain complexities.
Anomaly streamlines blockchain gaming UX with Account Abstraction enabling user onboarding via social platforms and leveraging SocialFi for game monetization. At the core of the new gaming, Layer-3 sits the Anomaly SDK, which enables advanced AI functionalities like AI-driven matchmaking, decision-making, player model training, automated quest creation, and asset generation in Web3 gaming. This aims to help reduce developer time, address cost challenges of AI integration, and significantly improve user engagement and experience within the Anomaly gaming ecosystem.
“With Anomaly, we’re not just launching another gaming platform; we’re pioneering a new paradigm in Web3 gaming, that will fundamentally alter the blockchain gaming industry,” said Long Do, Founder of Anomaly. “Anomaly Layer-3 will function as a decentralized game layer with a native AI tech stack, promoting interoperability and platform experience.”
Leveraging Arbitrum Anytrust DAC technology, the Anomaly Layer-3 Orbit chain inherits a fast, secure, and scalable execution environment, boasting a 250ms block time with near-instant transaction finality, processing thousands of transactions per second, standing out as one of the fastest EVM Layer-3 rollups on the market. The chain will feature a native gas token $nom that will secure smooth navigation between gaming realms.
“Anomaly’s implementation of the Arbitrum Orbit tech stack addresses fundamental issues encountered by blockchain games,” said Cooper Midroni, Product Manager at Offchain Labs. “The Anomaly Layer-3 ecosystem enables on-chain games to offer the same level of enjoyment and seamless experience as traditional games.”
The chain operates with a gasless user experience designed to provide a web2-like user experience gameplay. It launches with Gelato’s industry-standard web3 services, Gelato Relayers, Web3 Functions, and VRF. These services enable a fully automated, immersive gaming experience and provide a verified source of on-chain randomness for fair gameplay. The chain will also come out-of-box equipped with key infrastructure like the Blockscout block explorer providing easy access to block, transaction, and address data and canonical bridge UI serviced by Gelato.
“Anomaly came to us asking for a future-proof gaming platform that supports millions of users,” explained Hilmar Orth, Founder of Gelato. “We created a gaming-centric, fully-serviced, auto-scalable Layer-3 infrastructure that enables Anomaly to attract community and liquidity – ultimately supporting distribution.”
Anomaly Layer-3 will also leverage Gelato’s latest Node-Sale-as-a-Service solution to enhance its roll-up security by selling verifier node licenses and enabling community participation in securing Anomaly’s infrastructure. Anomaly’s launch will feature a private sale of AI-based Node NFTs to early supporters on Telegram, underlining the platform’s focus on a community-driven ecosystem. Furthermore, Anomaly will make it easier for all users to operate their nodes with cloud-based subscriptions that they can run by paying monthly directly inside Telegram.
Anomaly is poised to revolutionize web3 gaming by engaging with Telegram, Discord, and Farcaster communities. This approach meets users where they are, providing in-platform gaming experiences that bypass onboarding challenges, abstract away blockchain complexities, and offer experiences on par with web2 games.
