Ethernity Introduces First Entertainment-Focused Layer 2 Chain on Optimism’s Superchain

Ethernity, a leading player in blockchain entertainment technology, is excited to unveil the testnet for Ethernity Chain, a cutting-edge Layer 2 solution specifically designed to cater to the needs of Fortune 500 entertainment brands. This launch solidifies Ethernity Chain’s position as a key player in Optimism’s Superchain ecosystem, alongside other prominent names like Coinbase’s ‘Base,’ Worldcoin, Zora, and Camp Network. The Superchain is a network of interconnected chains that utilize Optimism’s OP Stack technology and contribute protocol fees to the Optimism Collective.

Ethernity Chain has been specifically crafted to tackle the obstacles encountered by the worldwide entertainment industry when it comes to embracing blockchain technology. It offers a user-centric infrastructure that maximizes the advantages of web3 while simplifying the intricacies. Ethernity Chain utilizes AI-powered Digital Rights Management (DRM) to enhance security and protect users’ on-chain assets, ensuring robust IP protection. Ethernity has recently launched its testnet on Optimism’s Superchain. This Superchain is a unified network of chains that offers shared liquidity, security, communication, and governance. It taps into a vibrant ecosystem with over 20 chains, over 800 apps, and a total value locked (TVL) of $16 billion. Ethernity can leverage Optimism’s OP Stack, deployed and hosted by Gelato RaaS.

“By joining the Superchain, Ethernity becomes part of a community of builders dedicated to scaling Ethereum and giving back to the ecosystem,” said Urv Goel, VP and Head of Global Business Development at Optimism Unlimited. “We look forward to supporting Ethernity as they continue to innovate at the intersection of Web3 and entertainment.”

The Ethernity Layer 2 testnet has been launched, allowing developers to delve into, construct, and evaluate their applications before the mainnet release. Ethernity is currently bringing various products into its ecosystem, and several entertainment applications such as games, NFTs, RWA collectibles, and interactive media projects have already joined forces with Ethernity. Exciting announcements regarding their upcoming launches are expected in the coming weeks.

“Joining the Superchain ecosystem with the launch of Ethernity Chain marks a significant milestone for us,” said Marcelo Pham, Co-Founder and Chief Engineer of Ethernity. “Our goal is to bridge the gap between traditional entertainment and blockchain technology, providing a platform where major brands can thrive and innovate.”

Ethernity Chain has a strong partner network dedicated to providing developers with high-quality tools and infrastructure. Ethernity Layer 2 is deployed and managed on the Gelato RaaS Platform. Gelato is poised to revolutionize the crypto industry with its suite of Web3 Cloud Services. These services will enhance the user experience by eliminating gas fees and enable seamless integration between Ethernity Apps and any web2 API. Additionally, Gelato will introduce verified randomness, ensuring fairness in on-chain sweepstakes and dynamic NFT creation. Exciting news is on the horizon as we announce additional 3rd party infrastructure integrations. These integrations will cover many features, including social logins for convenient access, credit card payments, bridges, indexers, etc. Our goal is to launch on mainnet with developer tooling that caters to specific use cases, making it easier for entertainment brands to onboard the next wave of mainstream users.

“The entertainment industry is ripe for disruption by blockchain technology, and Gelato RaaS is proud to support Ethernity’s vision coming to life” said Luis Schliesske, co-founder of Gelato. “Our Rollup-as-a-Service platform and our suite of native integrations ensure that Ethernity can focus on building and scaling their products while we handle the underlying technical complexities.”

To better assist the developer community, Ethernity has plans to introduce a Grant Program in the near future. This program will offer financial support and valuable resources to those looking to expand on the Ethernity L2 platform. This program provides a comprehensive range of services, including marketing, business development, technical support, and investor connections, all aimed at equipping developers with the necessary tools for success.

The Ethernity testnet has been launched, building on Ethernity’s previous achievements in integrating famous entertainment figures such as Lionel Messi and Shaquille O’Neal into the blockchain. Ethernity Chain strives to build a strong and expandable ecosystem for the upcoming era of entertainment.
