Binance's move to launch gaming assets has made the long-dormant GameFi sector lively again. Among the four gaming projects launched, two assets are more or less related to gaming chains, among which Xai is the representative of Layer3 gaming chains.

Technical features of XAI:

XAI uses the Arbitrum Nitro technology stack and is a permissionless Orbit chain. Orbit Chain is Layer3 launched in June 2023 on top of Arbitrum Layer2.

On June 22, 2023, Offchain Labs released a tool for issuing Arbitrum Orbit Chain. Orbit Chain is a Layer3 on top of Arbitrum Layer2. You can choose to use one of the three Layer2s, including Arbitrum One, Arbitrum Nova, and Arbitrum Goerli, for settlement. Users can choose to use Rollup or Anytrust technology. The difference is that Anytrust uses DAC instead of submitting transaction data to the chain, which is cheaper but less secure.

The advantages of Orbit Chain lie in its simple chain issuance process, interoperability with the Arbitrum ecosystem, instant updates of Nitro, and EVM+ compatibility provided by Stylus (supports Rust, C, C++, and runs on the WASM virtual machine). Like all chains in the Arbitrum ecosystem, Arbitrum Rollups and Arbitrum Anytrust Orbit Chain are built with Nitro as the underlying technology. Users can issue any Orbit Chain without customization, but must settle on Arbitrum Layer2, otherwise they need to contact Offchain Labs or Arbitrum DAO for authorization.

Unlike most Orbit chains which are "self-governing", Xai benefits from direct technical support from Offchain Labs. This support is not available to other chains, and Xai is seen as an important part of the strategic game plan within the Arbitrum ecosystem. #XAI小钥匙公售

XAI is the gas payment and node reward token in the Xai network, and is also the main token in its game ecosystem, serving as a payment asset for games and in-game items. Among them, the total issuance of XAI tokens is 2.5 billion. In June last year, Xai announced that it had cooperated with the well-known game team ExPopulus to develop two games, the card game Final Form and the metaverse LAMOverse.

At present, the Xai ecosystem has launched role-playing games such as Tarochi, Final Form, LAMOverse, and origami-themed game Kashi, as well as Camelot DEX, Rarible NFT market, and Web3 development toolkit Thirdweb.
