Who wants to have to pay every time they pick up an item in the game? No, thank you.

Web3 gaming continues to take small steps forward.

For example, Animoca Brands and the layer-2 blockchain ‘LightLink’ collaborated this week to create gas-free Ethereum games.

That sounds both confusing and inconsistent.

But here’s the deal:

A gaming world that has no gas fees (aka crypto transaction fees) helps lower a major barrier to entry.

(Because who wants to have to pay every time they pick up an item in the game? No, thank you.)

Finding a way to sustainably subsidize these fees will open the door for a lot of onboarding into the Web3 space, through gaming.

Whether Animoca and LightLink have come up with a solution durable way to cover gas costs, or just take one for the team – is unclear.

(Our guess is the latter).

Either way, this will make the Web3 gaming world more accessible and user-friendly.

What we love.

Two enthusiastic thumbs up, here!
