Case Studies

Introduction

MythicForge Games (A hypothetical rising game studio)

Objective

To migrate the game's core NFT transactions to a scalable Layer 2 solution without compromising security or decentralisation, thereby reducing costs by over 90% and increasing transaction throughput.

Proposed Solution

Analysis & Design: Our team conducted a deep analysis of their smart contract architecture and user flow. We recommended a Polygon-powered sidechain as the ideal L2 solution due to its EVM compatibility, security, and thriving ecosystem.
Smart Contract Migration & Optimization: We refactored and redeployed their existing Ethereum-based NFT minting and marketplace smart contracts onto the Polygon chain. The contracts were optimized for gas efficiency and enhanced with new features like batch transactions.
Bridging Mechanism: We implemented a secure, user-friendly bridge interface within the game's wallet system, allowing players to seamlessly transfer assets and funds between the Ethereum mainnet and the Polygon sidechain.
NFT Infrastructure: Developed a full-stack NFT system including generative art assets, metadata standardisation (ERC-721), and a secure minting portal integrated directly into the game client.

Challange

MythicForge's new play-to-earn game, 'Realm of Legends,' was built on Ethereum. They faced exorbitant gas fees and slow transaction times, which severely degraded the user experience, especially for minting in-game items and trading on their native marketplace. This was a critical barrier to mass adoption.

Result

99% Reduction in Transaction Fees: Minting an NFT now costs cents instead of dollars, enabling micro-transactions.
Instant Transactions: Near-instant confirmation times eliminated player wait times, drastically improving gameplay.
User Growth: Monthly active users increased by 300% in the quarter following the migration.
Increased Volume: The in-game marketplace trading volume grew by 450% due to lower barriers to entry.
