Mech Shooter ‘MetalCore (Source: decrypt.co)
For its next season, Studio 369’s well-liked third-person shooter game MetalCore will switch to the Solana blockchain. It is anticipated that Solana will be used starting in November. The main factors influencing this choice were Solana’s cheap transaction costs and great scalability.
With speedier onchain transactions, the move aims to improve the gaming experience, according to an announcement made on October 24. One important indicator to gauge the network’s performance is the average number of transactions processed by the Solana blockchain, which is currently about 3,000 per second.
Benefits of Solana during the Changeover
MetalCore began its first season using Ethereum’s immutable zkEVM platform. However, the project had performance concerns. The primary culprits were network latency and sluggish transaction speeds. These issues encouraged Studio 369 to look for a speedier and more efficient blockchain alternative. As a result, Solana’s solid infrastructure was regarded as a viable choice for meeting the game’s performance requirements.
