SA World takes a bold step by switching to Injective to improve GameFi performance

SA World today announces a major step - the release of its gaming infrastructure platform on Injective. Thanks to this, one of the largest gaming projects in cryptocurrency is moving away from Polygon and BNB Chain and launching exclusively in the Injective ecosystem.
This integration redefines the GameFi landscape on Injective, offering a platform where games and innovative features can thrive by leveraging Injective's cutting-edge technologies.

What is SA World?
Backed by heavyweights like Pantera and Coinbase, SA World is one of the largest gaming networks on the Polygon and BNB network. This is Web3's all-in-one gaming destination, offering a wide selection of games with competitive terms, as well as a full suite of optimized and efficient game management tools.

SA World began its history with the first game Summoners Arena, which became one of the most popular gaming networks, attracting more than 500,000 players. In 2022, Summoners Arena Idle RPG was developed on the Binance Smart Chain. Summoners Arena provided players with a large-scale character system with their own skills and stories, simple and accessible gameplay for all ages. Now SA World will take the next step in its development with Injective.

Unlocking the Opportunities of NFTs
SA World is looking to introduce its NFTs into the Injective ecosystem, which has amassed nearly $1 million in revenue on previous networks in just 2 weeks after launch. Players can maintain control and exposure over their NFT assets with exclusive NFT VIP passes that provide exclusive access to SA World benefits on the OpenSea, Magic Eden and Dew marketplaces.

SA World's integration into Injective also introduces a breakthrough infrastructure for NFT concepts, opening the door for other gaming protocols to be launched seamlessly on its platform. For game developers, NFT concepts are a ready-to-use set of assets.

New generation injection bridge: Ionic upgrade
Today, Injective releases the Injective Bridge ionic update, introducing the most advanced interoperability solution in cryptocurrency, as well as a superior user experience with virtually zero fees.
The new Injective Bridge connects all major chains, including Ethereum, Solana and Cosmos, in one click. In addition, it has an updated user interface with convenient replenishment functions, comprehensive transaction history and modern transfer tracking mechanisms.

reference Information
Injective is one of the most interoperable L1 blockchains today. This was achieved through the strategic integration of some of the most widely used networks in the vast crypto industry.
Injective's vision of interoperability is at the heart of creating a one-stop shop for the entire financial industry to thrive. To do this, it was necessary to ensure that any asset created on various chains could find a home and easily connect to Injective.

The Injective developers began by creating the Peggy bridge, which connected Ethereum to Injective itself. This would allow any ERC20 asset to be connected to Injective. The synergy with Ethereum was enhanced by the creation of an advanced signature scheme that allowed Ethereum users to sign any transaction on Injective using any EVM-compatible wallet such as MetaMask.

As the ecosystem continued to evolve, Injective made efforts to create routes to new chains. Injective was one of the first chains to implement IBC compatibility, allowing developers to seamlessly transfer data and assets. This allows any asset to flow seamlessly into Injective from any other IBC-enabled blockchain.

Last year, Injective began taking even bigger steps towards compatibility when it integrated Wormhole, becoming one of the first chains to do so. This also allowed Injective to directly interact with established blockchains such as Solana.

Injective and AltLayer brought a system of protection against changes to EVM applications

Injective has officially partnered with AltLayer to create the first-ever Restaking security system for inEVM on-chain applications. From this point forward, inEVM can leverage the security of not just Injective, but Ethereum as a whole, securing over $400 billion worth of assets in the inEVM world. With this integration, inEVM will be able to work simultaneously with Ethereum and Injective like never before, further uniting two of the most vibrant L1 ecosystems today.

Injective's inEVM allows Ethereum developers to build applications that can uniquely leverage Injective's lightning-fast speeds and near-zero fees while achieving compatibility in the WASM and EVM world. In turn, this allows Injective to be the only L1 blockchain capable of combining the compatibility of Cosmos with the speed of Solana and developer access to Ethereum.
Together with AltLayer, Injective inEVM introduces a completely new design for EVM transactions, where on-chain state verification is performed by a network of economically backed nodes, which in turn ensures optimal security and reliability of the entire blockchain stack.

What is AltLayer?

AltLayer is at the forefront of rollup technology, offering a comprehensive set of solutions designed to address the scalability challenges faced by Web3 applications. Central to AltLayer's offerings is its new product, "restaked rollups", which enhances existing rollups with increased security, decentralization and interoperability through the use of a restaking mechanism.

AltLayer is backed by some of the biggest institutions in the industry, including Polychain Capital, Binance Labs, and Jump Crypto.
AltLayer and Injective ensure fast inEVM completion

Restyled security is designed to ensure the security of Ethereum for inEVM and, by extension, applications built on inEVM.

Galxe integrates Injective for community development and user engagement

Galxe, the leading platform for building Web3 communities, has fully integrated with the Injective mainnet to further increase community engagement and growth.
This integration marks an important milestone in Injective's ongoing efforts to grow the community. Starting now, projects in the Injective ecosystem will be able to run reward-based programs on Galxe with the ability to track transactions on the chain. This drives exceptional user acquisition and engagement for dApps built on Injective and the entire ecosystem.

What is Galxe?

Galxe is a platform that allows projects and community members to create reward-based loyalty programs. Galxe currently has over 14 million unique users who can go to Galxe and explore different campaigns or follow “Spaces” that bring together different campaigns related to the same project.
Injective is the latest L1 to be integrated into Galxe, joining leading blockchains such as Polygon, Avalanche and BNB Chain. Thanks to Galxe, projects on Injective now have the ability to create more targeted and personalized campaigns. Whether it's rewards programs, token giveaways or gamification, the new ability to create custom campaigns ensures that users are more engaged, motivated and actively involved in the project's activities.

What does this integration include?

A key component of this integration is support for the Galxe wallet to connect Metamask and Keplr for Injective. This is a fundamentally important point that allows Ethereum and Cosmos users to easily recognize Injective addresses on the Galxe platform. This feature eliminates the need to manually transfer addresses between EVM and Injective, greatly simplifying the user experience.
