The Web3 user-centered Layer2 protocol Saakuru has recently gained attention in the gaming market. Starting from June 23, the number of transactions on Saakuru skyrocketed by over 1,000%, with daily transactions exceeding 2 million, surpassing the dominant gaming chain Ronin.
Not only the transaction volume, but the total number of wallet addresses on the Saakuru protocol reached 840,000. The growth of these two indicators indicates that the user base and adoption rate of the Saakuru blockchain are continuously increasing.
Saakuru has partnered with Playground, a game distribution platform. Playground is designed for creators and developers, providing tools for quick game design, construction, and sharing. The intuitive tools and supportive environment on the Playground platform make it an important base for game creation. Currently, it has reached 201,000 daily active players with a total transaction volume of 540 million.
The collaboration between Saakuru and Playground mainly involves the release of alpha versions of new games on the Saakuru blockchain by game publishers on Playground. These games, inspired by the popular game Roblox, aim to provide players with more fun and innovative experiences.
These games run on the Saakuru chain, which is characterized by not requiring gas fees. This means that players on Saakuru can conduct transactions and operations without incurring additional costs, making the gaming process smooth and efficient.
An important part of the Saakuru protocol is “Taffy DEX,” a professional decentralized exchange (DEX) based on the Saakuru protocol. It facilitates seamless (real-time) and economically efficient transactions of GameFi tokens, positioning Saakuru as the center of convergence between gaming and DeFi.
In addition, this collaboration has also introduced a powerful user acquisition system, expected to reach over 100,000 players. The application of this system will enable new games to quickly attract a large number of players, bringing more users and activity to PlayGround and Saakuru.
According to Dappradar data, the cryptocurrency industry had over 10 million daily unique active wallets (dUAW) participating in blockchain applications in May, with gaming still being the most active sector. Game dapps accounted for 30% of all active wallets, an increase of 7% compared to the previous month, reaching 3.13 million independent active wallets.
In terms of independent active wallets (UAW), Ronin still holds the lead according to Dappradar analysis. However, there is a significant difference in token valuation between Ronin and Saakuru. Saakuru has a fully diluted valuation (FDV) of $36.38 million, while Ronin is valued at $2.1 billion.
Despite the valuation difference, the outstanding performance in daily transaction volume demonstrates the potential of Saakuru in the gaming blockchain field. These numbers continue to grow, and the possibility of Saakuru participating in large-scale gaming application scenarios through its chain is also increasing.
