SKALE, having surpassed 300 million total transactions in January and maintaining over 30 million transactions monthly, offers projects a platform free from the usual impediments found on other blockchain networks, such as minting fees or gas costs.
SKALE Network, a gas-less EVM-compatible blockchain designed for secure Ethereum scaling, attained groundbreaking gas savings, unique wallet activations, and transaction processing achievements during the first quarter of 2024. With notable performances, strategic partnerships, and unmatched user growth across twenty AppChains, SKALE has solidified its role as a key scaling solution for verticals like gaming and AI.
The growth of SKALE would not have been possible without the over 70 projects and integrations in Q1. SKALE technology was adopted across blockchain projects in nearly all sectors and featured prominent names like ChainGPT, TCG, Dmail, NFT Arcade, and more. SKALE’s ability to process millions of transactions for zero gas fees has paved the way for adoption by First-Person Shooter games like RageAffect, metaverse RPGs games like World of Dypians, Music platforms like Hitmakr, plus messaging and data apps.
“We are thrilled to see the growth and adoption of SKALE during the first quarter of 2024 and it’s exciting to see how SKALE Network is positively affecting users and projects worldwide,” said Jack O’Holleran, Co-Founder and CEO of SKALE Labs. “In March alone, SKALE saved almost $2B in gas, enabling users to seamlessly process millions of transactions with SKALE’s zero gas fee model.”
