Anomaly, based in Zug, Switzerland, has introduced a groundbreaking AI-powered zero-gas Layer-3 gaming platform aimed at Telegram’s 900 million daily active users. This platform utilizes Arbitrum Orbit and Gelato’s Rollup-as-a-Service (RaaS) to simplify the creation of immersive decentralized gaming experiences. With Account Abstraction, Anomaly streamlines user onboarding via social platforms and leverages SocialFi for game monetization. The Anomaly SDK incorporates advanced AI functionalities like AI-driven matchmaking, decision-making, and automated quest creation, reducing developer time and costs associated with AI integration.
Long Do, the Founder of Anomaly, expressed that Anomaly Layer-3 represents a new era in Web3 gaming that will transform the blockchain gaming industry. By leveraging Arbitrum Anytrust DAC technology, Anomaly Layer-3 Orbit chain offers a fast, secure, and scalable execution environment with near-instant transaction finality and thousands of transactions processed per second. The chain also features a native gas token $nom to facilitate seamless navigation between different gaming realms. Cooper Midroni, Product Manager at Offchain Labs, commended Anomaly’s implementation of the Arbitrum Orbit tech stack, which provides on-chain games with a level of enjoyment comparable to traditional games.
The Anomaly Layer-3 ecosystem is designed to deliver a gasless user experience akin to web2 games, ensuring smooth gameplay. Gelato’s web3 services are integrated into the platform, including Gelato Relayers, Web3 Functions, and VRF, to automate gaming experiences and ensure fair gameplay with on-chain randomness. Anomaly has also partnered with Gelato to provide key infrastructure such as the Blockscout block explorer and a canonical bridge UI. Hilmar Orth, Founder of Gelato, highlighted the platform’s focus on scalability to attract a large user base and liquidity through a community-driven ecosystem.
Anomaly is set to revolutionize web3 gaming by engaging with Telegram, Discord, and Farcaster communities, offering in-platform gaming experiences that circumvent onboarding challenges and provide experiences comparable to web2 games. By leveraging Gelato’s latest Nodes-as-a-Service solution, Anomaly aims to enhance rollup security by selling verifier nodes and enabling community participation in securing the platform’s infrastructure. The platform will conduct a private sale of AI-based Node NFTs to early supporters on Telegram, emphasizing its commitment to community-driven growth. Users will also have the option to operate their node through cloud-based subscriptions within Telegram.
Through its avant-garde approach to AI and blockchain integration, Anomaly is at the forefront of gaming evolution, focusing on rapid game development, community engagement via social platforms, and innovative approaches to gaming. The platform aims to set new standards in interactive entertainment by harnessing the synergies between AI and blockchain technology. The Arbitrum Foundation, established in 2023, supports the growth of the Arbitrum network with secure scaling solutions for Ethereum, such as Arbitrum Orbit. Gelato, an Ethereum Rollup as a Service Platform, offers a super-fast, secure, and scalable environment for deploying Layer 2 chains, integrated with industry-standard Web3 tools and services.
