Mirror World is making waves in the Web3 development space with the launch of the first-ever gaming rollup chain on Solana, a move poised to revolutionize how games are developed and played on the blockchain. This innovative approach aims to leverage the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) for deploying game engines and facilitating in-app transactions with unparalleled efficiency.
Elevating Game Development on Solana
At the heart of this advancement is the “Sonic” SVM computation engine. Sonic is designed to empower developers by allowing them to deploy their preferred game engines or virtual machines on Solana using Mirror World’s software development kit (SDK). This capability is set to transform game sessions by handling “millions of requests” and ensuring faster processing when settling back to Solana’s Layer 1 (L1) infrastructure.
A Leap in Blockchain Gaming
Mirror World’s SDK, branded as HyperGrid technology, introduces a new era for gaming platforms on Solana. It enables the creation of personalized on-ramp and cross-chain decentralized exchange (DEX) aggregators, further enriching the Solana gaming experience. Already, 50 gaming clients have integrated the Mirror World SDK as initial distribution nodes, experiencing significant engagement. Notably, three games – Mahjong Meta, Matr1x Fire, and Seraph/ActozSoft – have raised over $30 million in series funding rounds and witnessed over 200,000 traffic and transaction engagements after adopting the Mirror World SDK.
Beyond Gaming: Expanding Solana’s Ecosystem
Chris Zhu, CEO of Mirror World, highlighted the company’s efforts in supporting hundreds of Web3 games, focusing on monetization and listing. Zhu emphasized Sonic’s goal to bolster the Solana Gaming Ecosystem by processing millions of requests per second for each game and ensuring efficient settlement back to Solana L1. Furthermore, Mirror World offers a Smart Marketplace SDK, allowing developers to easily create a non-fungible token (NFT) marketplace within their decentralized apps at an affordable rate, thereby broadening the utility and appeal of Solana’s blockchain.
Solana’s Growing Influence
Despite the relative underdevelopment of gaming activities on Solana compared to Ethereum, the blockchain has seen a significant upswing in market cap, positioning it among the top five. With an 824% gain over the past year, Solana’s potential is increasingly recognized across various initiatives, including a remarkable achievement of $5 billion in NFT sales. The introduction of Mirror World’s gaming rollup chain is expected to catalyze further growth and innovation within the Solana ecosystem, marking a significant milestone for blockchain gaming and Web3 application development.
