FCHAIN, built on Avalanche’s cutting-edge technology, is designed to address the increasing demand for blockchain integration in gaming. It offers developers a robust platform to build, launch, and scale their blockchain-based games without the high complexity often associated with decentralized platforms. The new Layer 1 solution will also provide various shared services such as in-game marketplaces, cross-game interoperability, and developer support, making it a desirable option for game creators looking to enter the blockchain space.

Faraway’s ultimate vision for FCHAIN is to reduce developers’ technical barriers, allowing them to focus on creativity and innovation while tapping into the benefits of blockchain technology. The platform will be a destination for game developers seeking to integrate decentralized elements like in-game assets, NFTs, and tokenomics into their gaming models.

Faraway’s Expanding Game Library

Faraway’s custom Avalanche L1 will support a diverse gaming ecosystem, including original titles and games from independent publishers. Among the impressive collection of games already in Faraway’s library are popular titles such as Shatterline, Villains: Robot Battle Royale, HV-MTL, and Legends of the Mara. These titles will now be seamlessly integrated into FCHAIN, benefiting from its streamlined blockchain services.

With a growing lineup of games, Faraway is positioning FCHAIN to become a hub for blockchain gaming enthusiasts. The platform’s interoperability will allow assets and in-game elements to transfer between games, creating a more interconnected gaming experience across the FCHAIN ecosystem.
