Mythos has achieved much success on the Ethereum blockchain with a user base of more than 650,000 users. It is now migrating all these users to Polkadot as it plans to tap into the speed and scalability capabilities of the blockchain.

Mythical Games Launches a New Web3 Gaming Ecosystem on Polkadot

According to the CEO of Mythical Games, John Linden, the move from Ethereum to Polkadot comes amid the issues of slow speeds on Ethereum. Linden noted that the Layer-two rollups on Ethereum have not done much to address the scalability issues.

The switch also comes amid the Polkadot 2.0 upgrade, seeking to improve the scalability of the Polkadot network. It also comes amid the highly anticipated global launch of the NFL Rivals blockchain game that has been co-created by Mythical Games.

The partnership between Mythical and Polkadot seeks to streamline the custom chain creation for gaming partners. It also plans to nurture an interconnected blockchain gaming ecosystem that people can use to improve their offerings in the industry.

Mythical Games is leveraging the strengths of the Polkadot network. It will leverage the scalability of the blockchain while also benefiting from the governance and treasury, to create a unique and all-around experience.

Mythical Games will also bridge the gap between blockchain gaming and traditional platforms. It will achieve this through a foundation that supports compatibility and scalability using established Web2 gaming initiatives like the scalability offered by the Epic Games Store.

Users anticipate that the launch of Mythos will pave the way for a vast and interconnected blockchain gaming industry.

Polkadot 2.0 to Boost Network Efficiency

The Polkadot 2.0 upgrade will also improve speeds on the network and make it more efficient. One of the features that will be launched with this upgrade is the dynamic core Allocation that will make Polkadot more efficient, scalable, and capable of handling more projects and users.

The platform will also feature Async Backing where the network will be able to handle more transactions at once, making the network fast and more adaptable. The feature ensures every blockchain connected to Polkadot can operate independently but still coordinate.

The third feature is the Trustless Bridging BEEFY and Snowbridge technologies. This feature will ensure that transactions between blockchains are reliable. Snowbridge will also create a link between Ethereum and Polkadot to trim costs and boost interactions.
