Ethereum Card Game ‘The Lost Glitches’ Coming to Layer-3 Network Xai

The Xai Foundation announced Wednesday that it has teamed up with game publisher Mimunga and developer Honig Studios to bring the trading card game The Lost Glitches to the Xai layer-3 Ethereum gaming network built on Arbitrum.

Alongside the alliance, The Xai Foundation has also invested an undisclosed sum in the project to help bring it to the gaming network. Decrypt’s GG asked for clarification on the investment, but did not receive an immediate response.

“We’ve partnered with Xai due to the tremendous support from its team, who share our vision of creating games that are accessible to all gamers,” said The Lost Glitches CEO Alexey Ivanov, in a press release. “Together, we are committed to integrating crypto elements such as wallets in a way that ensures a completely seamless experience.”

The Lost Glitches previously released NFT collections and a LOST token via the Ethereum mainnet, and released NFT expansion packs via scaling network Immutable X. The Lost Glitches is currently available for download via the Epic Games Store.

Like other card combat games built on blockchain networks, such as Parallel and Gods Unchained, The Lost Glitches uses NFTs to represent individual cards, including unique and limited cards that can be freely traded with other players.

“All it took was to see the art style and direction of this game for our team to see that we had something truly special,” said pseudonymous Xai core contributor Soby, in a release.

Xai launched earlier this year as a layer-3 scaling network built with the layer-2 Arbitrum tech on top of Ethereum. It’s optimized specifically for games, with features such as account abstraction to hide the complexities of crypto interactions, as well as zero gas fees for players.
