Xterio, a prominent player in the Web3 gaming sphere, and AltLayer, an open and decentralized protocol for launching native and ZK rollup stacks, have teamed up to introduce a game-focused restaked rollup tailored specifically for Web3 games.
Distinguished as a Web3 gaming ecosystem and infrastructure, Xterio stands out as a gaming publisher renowned for its top-tier development skills, extensive distribution expertise, and substantial ecosystem funding exceeding $80 million. With a portfolio boasting five AAA games and partnerships with over 45 gaming entities, Xterio boasts a global gaming community exceeding two million users and has established itself as a premier gaming NFT launchpad. Founded by industry veterans including Michael Tong, former COO of NetEase and CSO of FunPlus, and Jeremy Horn, former Vice President of Jam City, Xterio remains steadfast in its mission to accelerate the integration of Web3 technology into gaming while onboarding billions of gamers.
AltLayer will oversee the operation and management of the Xterio chain, serving as a Layer 2 solution settling on Ethereum and leveraging the OP Stack as the rollup framework with EigenDA as the Data Availability (DA) layer. Differing from traditional rollups, the Xterio chain adopts a “restaked rollup” model, pioneered by AltLayer, featuring MACH – an Actively Validated Services (AVS) offering faster finality with economic security via EigenLayer’s restaking mechanism. Focusing on web3 and AI-powered games, the rollup aims to construct an on-chain ecosystem around AAA games utilizing the $XTER token.
Beyond integration across multiple Xterio titles, the Xterio chain serves as the backbone of the Xterio ecosystem, providing access to a vibrant gaming environment where players can seamlessly collect, own, and trade digital assets. Moreover, developers can effortlessly mint, distribute, and manage millions of assets while benefiting from account abstracted wallets, seamless off-chain and on-chain systems, cost-effective transactions, single-click purchases, and a flexible payment marketplace. Embracing the Xterio token as a versatile payment method, the Xterio marketplace and NFT launchpad ensure a smooth and convenient user experience.
Looking forward, the Xterio chain welcomes game developers in search of a sophisticated yet user-friendly solution to power their creations, offering access to an extensive first-party gaming catalog and tapping into its rapidly growing user base exceeding two million.
Yaoqi Jia, CEO of AltLayer, emphasized the significance of Xterio’s adoption of rollups to enhance technical capabilities and improve the gaming experience. Michael Tong, CEO of Xterio, highlighted the collaboration’s role in developing advanced blockchain infrastructure to propel Web3 gaming titles and extend its availability to partners and collaborators, positioning Xterio as a leader in high-quality Web3 gaming and beyond.
