Moving to Polygon: Infinite Scaling For Infinity Skies
Bringing together aspects of building, socializing, trading and numerous adventures is the“Infinity Skies” ecosystem. A place where we invite players to compete as they make the most prestigious castle in the sky, limited only by their creativity, all while interacting with their friends and collecting a number of in-game assets that double as NFTs. We believe that NFTs represent a very real opportunity to bring gaming back to the community, with opportunities for players to truly own their gameplay, and earn by turning their time into Skyblocks (Infinity Skies native cryptocurrency). When we said players could own a section of the sky, we meant it. Each plot is their own piece and contribution to a game that belongs to them. And as one might guess, all good games begin with the people playing them.
The Move to Polygon
To provide an experience that enables players to begin with equal footing, we needed to start with a foundation that is decentralized. For this reason, our team has made the decision to move our operations from the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) to the Polygon network. Polygon, previously known as the Matic Network, is a protocol that defines the building and connecting of Ethereum-compatible networks in an open-source project. The network is managed by a decentralized team spread across the globe. It’s true the Polygon Network offers many similarities to Binance Smart Chain, including monetary and time saving characteristics. Where their differences come into play is in how they function, with Binance being slightly more centralized in nature. While we believe both are powerful tools shaping the DeFi world, for our goals as a team, we believed it was in our best interest to make this switch.
We believed this would be a good opportunity to ensure we did not lose sight of the benefits of decentralization, something we point to with Infinity Skies.
With decentralization, trust is both fundamental and intrinsic; no one needs to know one another, and equitability is assured. As a result, everyone has the opportunity to build a castle with confidence, knowing their work from the ground up is locked in the blockchain forever.
OpenSea
One other distinct advantage that influenced our decision to move to Polygon is access to Opensea. If you’ve been involved in NFTs in any capacity you shouldn’t be a stranger to Opensea. It has reached near rockefeller levels of monopoly within its niche and we are looking forward to Infinity Skies and our valuable NFTs being hosted by such a significant player in the NFT space.
The Polygon Advantage
Furthermore, Polygon was designed to improve the functionality of the Ethereum blockchain by drastically increasing its network scalability and transaction speed, two pain points that are currently plaguing the industry and gaming today. But, Polygon is not just another chain, it is a direct extension of the Ethereum Network. This means that it benefits from the massive ecosystem that Ethereum Network hosts, including its over 200,000 validators. As a direct extension Polygon benefits from Ethereum’s immense decentralization while simultaneously improving network transaction speeds and costs for our Infinity Skies players.
Polygon delivers on this by acting as a Layer-2 scaling solution. These second layer solutions are essentially parallel blockchains that interact with the main chain. And can be deployed multiple times and handle different processes, taking some of the pressure off the base layer and ensuring transaction speeds are maintained at a certain level.
Therefore, this foundation goes to ensure that we can maintain performance, security, and user experience (UX) while operating at sufficiently lower costs to bring to life a true vision of DeFi. It also ensures that supported dApps available in the social part of the game can be added for players to participate in and gameplay continues to entertain.
If Ethereum is the core of the earth as a layer 1, and Polygon is the surface as a layer 2, it only makes sense that we sit atop both as the Skies.
More Exciting News
We are excited to continue innovating alongside our community, with our move to Polygon being only one of the steps for introducing crypto and play-to-earn to new audiences. As we continue to look forward, we want to extend a personal invitation to our community to stay tuned for our upcoming Initial DEX Offering (IDO), with further details to be announced shortly.
Our Social Media channels are open, and here to welcome new community members and future Infinity Skies players. For any questions about Infinity Skies or to stay up-to-date on our developments, we recommend staying in touch through any one of these channels below.
