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.

12th Anniversary of the First Halving

On the 28th, it has been 12 years since the first halving of the cryptocurrency (virtual currency) Bitcoin (BTC).
Halving is the time when the block reward (= amount of new issuance) received by Bitcoin miners is halved. The first halving took place on November 28, 2012, when the block reward was reduced from 50 BTC to 25 BTC.
According to the plan, the block reward is halved approximately every four years. Bitcoin experienced its fourth halving in April this year, and the current block reward is 3.125 BTC.
At the time of the 2012 halving, the Bitcoin price was 1 BTC = about $12. At the time of writing, it is still in the highest price range, hovering around $95,000. Therefore, in the 12 years since the first halving, Bitcoin has increased in value by about 770,000%.
