Ancient8 Brings Gaming Interchain with Hyperlane
Modular Expansion is coming to Ancient8. With its permissionless deployment of Hyperlane, Ancient8 is connecting its onchain gaming economy to the broader modular ecosystem. Hyperlane empowers Ancient8 developers with interoperability, enabling liquidity and game assets to be used across various chains.
To start, Hyperlane is opening USDC bridging from ETH to Ancient8 on Nexus.
What is Ancient8
Ancient8 Chain is a gaming-focused modular Layer 2, powered by the OP Stack and Celestia underneath.
It emphasizes low-cost transactions and developer-friendly infrastructure to make it easy to game and build on Ancient8. Its EVM compatibility ensures easy porting of Ethereum projects and strong tooling for developers. Ancient8 aims to make crypto gaming more accessible and support the next 100 million onchain gamers.
Leveling Up with Hyperlane
Permissionless Interoperability + Bridging
Permissionless Interop enables anyone to self-deploy Hyperlane on any chain without needing the core team. This accelerates the expansion of the network and opens more connections for existing supported chains. This helps newer chains like Ancient8 access bridging and interop faster than traditional bridges can manually deploy.
By enabling interoperability with other chains, game developers on Ancient8 Chain can onboard a wider pool of players, fostering a bigger community.
Interchain Assets
Hyperlane’s interchain messaging network enables developers to integrate interchain functionalities into their games. For example, Gamers on Ancient8 Chain can use assets on another blockchain and participate in exciting cross-chain gameplays without needing to bridge.
Modular Security
With every game having so many moving pieces and different levels of security needs, a customizable security stack like Hyperlane is optimal. Hyperlane enables app developers to customize their security to their needs with modular security legos. For example, using a Routing ISM, you can set more valuable transfers to require a 1-hour delay vs instant processing for low value transfers.
What’s Next
The addition of Hyperlane will onboard more value and users to Ancient8. With a reliable stablecoin now available on Ancient8, expect USDC to be integrated into in-game payments to create a smoother user experience.
Bridge USDC to Ancient8 now on Nexus.
