By integrating SKALE’s infrastructure, Turf is making it easier than ever for game studios and gamers to dive into the world of prediction markets and eSports competitions — completely gas-free.

A Match Made for Gamers: Turf Meets SKALE

Let’s get real — eSports has been blowing up, and the numbers don’t lie. By the end of 2024, the global audience for eSports is projected to soar past 577 million people, generating a jaw-dropping $1.8 billion in revenue. But here’s the catch: it’s not just about having a flashy game anymore. With hundreds of titles out there, game studios are facing a serious challenge: keeping players hooked and engaged in a super competitive landscape.

That’s where Turf steps in. As a permissionless eSports engine, Turf’s all about enhancing gameplay with prediction-enabled competitions. Imagine being able to place predictions on in-game outcomes, adding an extra layer of thrill to your experience — whether you’re playing or just watching. Turf gives developers the tools to ramp up engagement with their player base, while also offering them deep insights into player behavior through on-chain analytics with Turf ID.

But we knew we needed a partner that could match our level of innovation. Enter SKALE, the invisible blockchain network that’s gas-free and built for performance. SKALE’s infrastructure means no gas fees, instant finality, and scalability for days — making it the perfect backbone for Turf’s fast-growing eSports prediction markets. No one wants to wait around for transactions or be hit with unexpected fees, and SKALE ensures that Turf’s players get a seamless, frictionless experience every time.

Why Prediction Markets Are the Future of eSports

So, why prediction markets? Simple — they’re the ultimate engagement hack. By letting players place predictions on outcomes within eSports competitions, Turf is supercharging how fans and players interact with games. It’s not just about playing; it’s about getting in on the action, even if you’re not holding the controller. This drives deeper engagement and gives game developers a brand-new way to attract — and keep — players coming back.

Turf’s track record speaks for itself:

Gas-Free and Fast: Why SKALE Is the Perfect Partner

For those who’ve been living under a rock, let’s break down why SKALE’s tech is a game-changer for eSports.

That’s a huge problem for gaming, where every second counts and no one’s got time for delays or hidden costs.

SKALE fixes that. With its gas-free, high-speed transactions, it ensures players aren’t stuck in limbo waiting for a transaction to process. And with instant finality, Turf can now handle the high-intensity world of eSports without breaking a sweat. Whether you’re playing, predicting, or simply enjoying the action, the experience is seamless and fast — just like it should be.
