by Aleksander Larsen, COO of Axie Infinity In case you haven’t heard of us yet, is a game centered around , , , and beautiful pets called Axies, with ownership secured on the Ethereum Axie Infinity collecting raising breeding battling blockchain. We have been paying close attention to Loom Network for some time and it is our great pleasure to announce that we will be using their technology to make Axie Infinity a more immersive gaming experience! ZombieChain is a DPoS dAppChain which is being created using the Loom SDK. It’s a layer-two blockchain which uses the Ethereum blockchain as its base-layer. Once a battle starts the Axies will be transferred to the ZombieChain and the battle logic will take place there. After the battle has completed the Axies will be transferred back to the Ethereum blockchain with the information about who won or lost. This means that players will be able to battle Axies without dealing with the constraints of the Ethereum blockchain. Enter the fray in the Axie Infinity Arena. Coming soon. As mentioned ZombieChain is a DPoS sidechain and once it goes live it will be dependant on nodes which are being supplied by the Loom Network. When Axie Infinity grows in popularity we will likely create our own dAppChain (AxieChain?) and look for ways to reward node validators around the world. Using an existing layer-two blockchain simplifies things a lot for us and means we can focus on creating a great game without worrying too much about scaling. We are really excited to follow the progress of ZombieChain and working together with Loom Network to bring you interactive battles. Here are some of the main reasons we choose Loom Network: Good relationship with the Loom Network team will make it easier to solve potential problems quickly Sub second block times Native Solidity support (read this if you are worried about security and relying on the ZombieChain consensus algorithm) Plasma Cash support incoming Validator election & via DPoS staking Gaming oriented Want to know more about dAppChains and Loom Network?
