The BITE (Blockchain Integrated Threshold Encryption) Protocol whitepaper has been released, introducing a novel approach to eliminate MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) attacks that have cost users nearly $2B since 2020. Key features: - Implements threshold encryption at consensus layer - Encrypts transactions before mempool entry - Decryption occurs only after finalization - No reliance on secondary networks The protocol's roadmap includes: 1. Transaction encryption 2. Smart contract data protection 3. Selective disclosure capabilities 4. Fully homomorphic encryption integration Read the whitepaper: [BITE Protocol Whitepaper](http://skale.space/BITEWhitePaper)

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.

SKALE Network is positioning itself as a significant player in blockchain gaming and Web3 with its zero-gas-fee model. Key features include: - Complete elimination of gas fees, saving users over $282m in recent weeks - High scalability through multi-chain architecture - Focus on gaming and AI applications - Over 1.2 million active wallets The platform is gaining recognition from analysts for its potential to remove traditional blockchain friction points. German tech media @btcecho highlighted SKALE as a promising breakthrough candidate for blockchain gaming. *Notable advantage*: Users can interact with the blockchain without dealing with complex gas fee structures.

**Unipoly Games** has officially launched on the SKALE Network, marking a significant step in making Web3 gaming more accessible. The platform leverages SKALE's gas-free network to eliminate traditional barriers to entry. This launch follows recent gaming partnerships on SKALE, including: - The Last Monarchy (historical strategy game) - 0xSequence development platform integration These developments represent a growing ecosystem of **gas-free blockchain gaming** experiences on SKALE, focused on mainstream accessibility and traditional gaming elements.
