The Apex Chain, developed by Proof of Play, is a Layer 2 blockchain engineered to meet the demands of decentralized gaming at scale. Utilizing Arbitrum Orbit tech stack, this blockchain offers a frictionless, gasless, and signless experience, making blockchain gaming accessible and seamless for players. Developers benefit from high transaction throughput and the chain's unique mirroring technology, which allows for secure Layer 1 trading while gameplay occurs on Layer 2
Apex Chain is the backbone of games like Pirate Nation, where players truly own and control their in-game assets, all stored permanently on-chain.
