Proof of Play\u2019s Apex chain is processing more daily transactions than all Ethereum Layer 2 networks after Base and Arbitrum.<\/p>\n

\n

Pirate Nation, an onchain role-playing game (RPG) that operates on its own Arbitrum Orbit-based Layer 3 blockchain, is set to launch its PIRATE token on Thursday, and players have been ramping up their activity ahead of the event.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re excited. PIRATE will have day-one utility in the game (we just pushed gems live, but they can\u2019t be purchased until after the airdrop claim), and we\u2019re going to release more info about staking soon,\u201d team member and \u2018Head Booty Dealer\u2019 Dith<\/a> told The Defiant.<\/p>\n

Daily transactions on the Apex chain hit an all-time high of 1.46 million on June 8 as the first season of the game\u2019s \u2018Booty Points<\/a>\u2019 program came to an end. These points will convert into PIRATE token allocations.<\/p>\n

The Apex chain\u2019s transaction throughput is currently above all Ethereum Layer 2 networks except Base and Arbitrum, according to a dashboard<\/a> maintained by rollup provider Conduit.<\/p>\n

Pirate Nation and Apex are developed by Proof of Play, a gaming studio that raised $33 million<\/a> last year in a seed round led by a16z and Greenoaks.<\/p>\n

As the name suggests, the game centers around pirate characters, which can be sent on various quests to collect resources that are used to craft new items like ships. Pirate Nation is free to play. However, owning a Founder\u2019s Pirate<\/a> confers enhanced abilities.<\/p>\n

PIRATE will have a total supply<\/a> of 1 billion tokens, with 47% allocated to community initiatives like the forthcoming airdrop and future points seasons. The team gets 28% and investors 11.75%, with the remaining 13.25% reserved for ecosystem development.<\/p>\n
