A promising future for gaming developers
The collaboration between Matter Labs and iCandy Interactive is promising for game developers. With a dedicated team promoting decentralized gaming, developers have access to technical resources, game deployment strategies, and tools/code libraries to ease the development process. This partnership also aims to provide mentorship from industry leaders and contributes to zkCandy’s decentralization strategies.
Matter Labs, known for their Zero-Knowledge (ZK) Stack framework, will contribute their technology expertise and technical support to optimize zkCandy for Web3 gaming. On the other hand, iCandy Interactive brings a wealth of experience and influence to the partnership, with more than 400 million mobile game downloads and partnerships with industry giants such as Baidu, SK Telecom, Singtel and Animoca Brands. This combination of expertise and experience makes zkCandy a force to be reckoned with in the gaming industry.
Hyperchain technology
zkSync uses advanced zero-knowledge (ZK) technology to increase the capacity of the Ethereum network and bring cryptocurrency into the mainstream. This technology aims to reach a large audience, including millions of developers and billions of people, and provides a technology-based solution to drive progress and prosperity.
An integral part of zkSync’s approach is the concept of hyperchains. This system allows users to have wallets that operate across different blockchain networks, all managed through a cross-hyperchain wallet system. What this means for users is that their wallets can display all their assets, regardless of the blockchain network they belong to.
