Unipoly Games Launches on SKALE Network

SKALE Network achieved significant milestones in April 2025: - **100M+ transactions** processed in a single month - Launched 3 new zero-gas games: - CropBytes (farm-to-earn) - For Loot And Glory (dungeon raiding) - Art Worlds (digital art multiverse) - Released Block Explorer 2.2.0 with improved UI and navigation - Q1 2025 metrics: - 250M transactions - 9.7M active wallets - 46% QoQ growth - BitHotel success story: 10K to 50K DAUs in one year [Full recap](https://skale.space/blog/skale-ecosystem-recap---april-2025)

**Maximal Extractable Value (MEV)** is a mechanism where traders can manipulate transaction ordering on blockchain networks, particularly affecting Ethereum users. The practice has resulted in over $1.3 billion in lost value. Key types of MEV attacks: - **Frontrunning**: Bots execute trades before user transactions - **Backrunning**: Bots capture price movements after large trades - **Sandwich Attacks**: Combining front and back running for maximum profit Protection strategies: - Set lower slippage tolerance - Use MEV protection RPC endpoints - Trade on MEV-protected exchanges While some argue MEV helps find efficient prices, it primarily benefits searchers and validators at the expense of regular users, generating nearly $1M in weekly profits through sandwich attacks alone.

In April, SKALE Network demonstrated significant scaling capabilities by processing 7.6 times more gas units compared to Ethereum mainnet. The key differentiator: all transactions were executed without any gas fees. - Network maintained optimal performance with: * Zero bottlenecks * No congestion issues * Complete fee elimination This achievement follows SKALE's previous milestone where they enabled 100M gaming transactions at zero cost, showcasing the platform's ability to handle high-throughput operations efficiently.

SKALE Network has emerged as a significant force in blockchain gaming, according to recent CoinGecko data. The network now hosts: - Over 100 active games - 48M unique active wallets (UAW) - Gas-free transaction environment The platform's success is attributed to its *invisible blockchain experience*, making Web3 gaming accessible to mainstream users. Key features include: - Zero gas fees - High throughput capacity - Seamless user experience This growth follows SKALE's strong 2024 performance, where its gaming hub Nebula saw a 1,000% year-over-year increase in daily active users.

Industry experts Cedric Schmidt (ForumAILabs) and Andrew Saunders discuss the role of decentralized AI agents in game development. While these agents offer potential benefits in speed, quality, and cost-efficiency, they emphasize that successful games must be engaging even without AI features. Key points: - AI should enhance, not replace, core gameplay - Focus remains on creating fundamentally enjoyable games - ForumAILabs' NPC Maker demonstrates practical applications - Technology offers optimization opportunities in development process The experts suggest a measured approach to AI integration, prioritizing player experience over technological novelty.
