Anomaly simplifies blockchain gaming UX through account abstraction, enabling user onboarding through social platforms and leveraging SocialFi for game monetization. At the core of the new Games Layer-3 is the Anomaly SDK, which supports advanced AI features such as AI-based matchmaking, decision-making, player model training, automated quest generation, and asset creation in Web3 games. This aims to reduce developer time, address cost issues of AI integration, and significantly improve user engagement and experience within the Anomaly gaming ecosystem.

“With Anomaly, we’re not just launching another gaming platform. We are pioneering a new paradigm in Web3 gaming that will fundamentally change the blockchain gaming industry,” said Long Do, founder of Anomaly. “Anomaly Layer-3 will serve as a decentralized gaming layer with an underlying AI technology stack to drive interoperability and platform experiences.”

Leveraging Arbitrum Anytrust DAC technology, the Anomaly Layer-3 Orbit chain inherits a fast, secure, and scalable execution environment, boasting block times of 250ms with near-instant transaction finality, processing thousands of transactions per second, and one of the fastest EVMs. It stands out as one. Layer 3 rollup on the market. The chain includes the native gas token $nom, which ensures smooth navigation between game areas.

“Anomaly’s implementation of the Arbitrum Orbit technology stack solves a fundamental problem facing blockchain gaming,” said Cooper Midroni, Product Manager at Offchain Labs. “The Anomaly Layer-3 ecosystem allows on-chain games to provide the same level of enjoyment and seamless experience as traditional games.”

Chain operates with a gasless user experience designed to provide web2-like user experience gameplay. It launches with Gelato’s industry-standard web3 services, Gelato Relayers, Web3 Functions, and VRF. These services enable fully automated, immersive gaming experiences and provide a verified source of on-chain randomness for fair gameplay. Additionally, the chain has key infrastructure built-in, such as the Blockscout block explorer for easy access to blocks, transactions, and address data, and the standard bridge UI served by Gelato.

“Anomaly required a forward-thinking gaming platform that would support millions of users,” explained Hilmar Orth, founder of Gelato. “We have created a gaming-centric, fully serviced, auto-scalable Layer-3 infrastructure that allows Anomaly to attract community and liquidity to ultimately support deployment.”

Anomaly Layer-3 will also leverage Gelato’s latest Node-Sale-as-a-Service solution to enhance roll-up security by selling validator node licenses and enabling community participation in Anomaly’s infrastructure security. Anomaly’s launch features a private sale of AI-powered Node NFTs to early supporters on Telegram and highlights the platform’s focus on a community-driven ecosystem. Anomaly will also make it easier to run nodes through a cloud-based subscription that any user can run for a monthly fee directly from within Telegram.

Anomaly is ready to revolutionize web3 gaming by working with the Telegram, Discord, and Farcaster communities. This approach meets users where they are by bypassing onboarding issues, abstracting away blockchain complexity, and delivering an on-platform gaming experience that delivers an experience on par with web2 gaming.
