The gaming subnet — dubbed Beam — will host a “variety of games and products to shape the future of gaming,” according to the DCG tweet.
Beam me up, Scotty
Beam — founded by Merit Circle DAO — describes itself as a “sovereign network focused on gaming.”
According to a Merit Circle medium post, Beam is set to “allow game developers to deploy their games on-chain seamlessly” — utilizing “quick, simple and minimal fees” via the Avalanche network.
“The value that Beam adds resembles a sword that cuts on both sides. Slicing through the problems game developers are currently facing, Beam offers anything they may need on their quest of building a game using blockchain technology.”
Recently hired Merit Circle CTO Brandon Aaskov is set to build and lead the development of Beam. On the purpose of Beam, Aaskov said:
“Beam is meant for gamers and game developers alike: to take away the complexity and still offer true ownership and easy control of that ownership.”
Further details are set to be discussed by Merit Circle, @Avax, @TrialXtreme, @WalkerWorld_, and @PlayHashRush on April 20, 7 PM CET.
