AggLayer Spotlight
🟪What happened: Moonveil, a gaming-centric layer-2 network, announced a partnership with Sonic, a Solana-focused SVM chain, with the goal of improving interoperability for gaming within the AggLayer and across ecosystems.
🟪Why does it matter: Moonveil plans to leverage the Polygon Chain Development Kit (CDK) and zero-knowledge proofs as well as connect to the AggLayer to provide a more secure game development experience. Its goal is to offer seamless cross-chain liquidity, interoperable rewards, and a more unified gamer experience for users.
Moonveil also wants to help scale web3 games with increased liquidity options and implement a gamified rewards system, which can onboard more traders and gamers alike.Â
If Moonveil’s partnership with Sonic provides increased accessibility for web3 games across the AggLayer ecosystem, more users will be exposed to the interoperable benefits from the protocol. This can create a more seamless gaming experience, a problem that web3 games have historically faced.
🟪The big picture: Moonveil and Sonic’s implementation of zero-knowledge proofs and interoperable gaming could open new avenues for developers looking to build within the AggLayer.Â
While the AggLayer is still in its early stages, this partnership has the potential to drive the future of web3 gaming. Implementing this can also offer a more streamlined, interconnected experience for both gamers and developers.Â
Technological advancements improve web3 game development and make them more efficient. This collaboration could be a reflection of that and attract more developers to the ecosystem, while accelerating growth and innovation in the broader web3 space.
