SKALE Launches on Portal to Bring Gas-Free Gaming to the Platform

SKALE Network

The world of blockchain gaming is fragmented with games launching across multiple ecosystems utilizing different technology, which creates barriers and a bad user experience for gamers who seek easy access to a diverse range of games. However, the partnership between Portal and SKALE Network aims to change the blockchain gaming landscape dramatically.

Portal and SKALE Partner to Transform Blockchain Gaming

Portal, with its mission to provide access to all games for all players, now integrates games built on SKALE, the gas-less EVM-compatible modular blockchain. This collaboration will ensure that SKALE projects are now featured on the Portal Game Discovery Platform and that assets are available on the Portal Marketplace.

Portal is a groundbreaking gaming platform that connects games from various blockchains onto a single platform. Powered by LayerZero's interoperability protocol, Portal offers a seamless multi-chain gaming experience, unifying over 200 games across its network, with integrations spanning more than 40 different blockchains.

The partnership with SKALE Network is a strategic move to enhance Portal's offerings. SKALE's unique infrastructure, characterized by zero gas fees, instant finality, and the ability to handle over 2 million transactions daily, aligns perfectly with Portal's mission to provide Web3 gaming for all. This collaboration not only expands the reach of existing projects on SKALE but will also attract new developers and gamers to the ecosystem. By integrating with SKALE, Portal opens up a new realm of possibilities for its users, providing access to SKALE's extensive gas-free gaming ecosystem.

SKALE Labs Chief Marketing and Growth Officer Andrew Saunders said about the partnership, “SKALE and Portal’s partnership is an exciting opportunity for the crypto gaming industry as a whole. The interoperability of Portal, combined with the gas-free infrastructure of SKALE, will enable easier scaling and onboarding of the hundreds of millions of gamers worldwide”.

Portal’s Head of Partnerships, Ezra Strauss, on the SKALE x Portal partnership: “integration with SKALE and the 100+ games in the SKALE ecosystem brings yet more great gaming experiences to users of the upcoming Portal Platform and Wallet. As we solve distribution for games on all chains, this partnership takes Portal closer to our goal of being the gateway for all players into the next generation of gaming.”

SKALE Shows Major Momentum in Gaming Due to its Gas-less Architecture

SKALE offers a gas-free infrastructure that ensures high-speed gameplay and an easy user experience. With over 55 million transactions taking place monthly, SKALE ranks as the top gaming blockchain according to a CoinGecko report. This momentum is supported by 2 games with over 1 Million monthly unique active wallets and another 16 games with more than 1,000 monthly unique active wallets. Currently, four games on SKALE rank in the top 20 for unique daily wallets on Dappradar, highlighting its dominance in the blockchain gaming sector.

SKALE's gas-free infrastructure is particularly advantageous for gaming, enabling developers to track and execute more on-chain activities without the hindrance of gas fees. This makes it an ideal partner for Portal, whose integration with SKALE, facilitated by the completion of LayerZero integration, unlocks new opportunities for projects. Now, SKALE-based projects can leverage the Portal ecosystem, accelerating the growth and adoption of blockchain gaming.

Bringing On-Chain Gaming to the Masses

The partnership between Portal and SKALE Network signifies a major leap forward in the blockchain gaming sector. With Portal's comprehensive platform and SKALE's unmatched performance, gamers and developers can look forward to a unified, efficient, and expansive gaming ecosystem. This collaboration not only promises to break down existing adoption barriers but also to pave the way for a more integrated and accessible gaming future.

By bringing together their unique strengths, Portal and SKALE are set to transform how blockchain games are experienced, making Web3 gaming truly for everyone.
