In a significant stride for the Ethereum Layer 2 blockchain, LightLink has unveiled its gaming plugin Bolt and announced the successful minting of 2.5 million NFTs. These tokens have been created through collaboration with partner projects, including Grapes and TallyUP.

Bolt, a new gaming plugin, streamlines the token generation process by allowing game developers to mint tokens based on a game's metadata. One of its key features is the elimination of gas fees, offering users a more cost-effective and efficient token-minting experience.

Leveraging Enterprise Mode and Bolt, web3 game developers on LightLink's blockchain can now reportedly reduce minting costs to $5,000 per 1 million NFTs, a fraction of the expenses compared to other platforms.

TallyUp and Grapes

Casual web3 mobile game TallyUP has embraced a proof of concept integration with LightLink, providing players with transparency into all in-game activities. This move aims to cultivate trust within the gaming community, addressing concerns about transparency and fostering a more open gaming environment.

Grapes, another participant in the Bolt token minting process, successfully minted 3,333 Ethereum-based NFTs in May 2023. Ben Cusack, co-founder of Grapes, expressed his enthusiasm, stating, "Onboarding new users is the hardest part for web3 developers, and LightLink and Bolt have not just improved this aspect of development, but have completely eliminated it, setting the industry standard for what web3 games can be."

The announcement follows LightLink's recent success in securing $4.5 million in seed funding. Moreover, Animoca Brands, a key player in the gaming industry, has expanded its integration with the L2 blockchain, indicating a growing interest and trust in the capabilities of LightLink's technology.

For those interested in delving deeper into Bolt's capabilities, additional information can be found on its website. As LightLink continues to make waves in the blockchain gaming sphere, the industry eagerly anticipates further developments and innovations in this rapidly evolving landscape.
