Changing the Game(s) with Geist

We're excited to announce our partnership with Pixelcraft Studios and the upcoming launch of Geist—a new members-only blockchain built for gaming.

Built on our Rollups service, scalable infrastructure, and comprehensive developer platform, Geist will create a trusted platform that focuses on rewarding and protecting both developers and players. The gaming community stands to benefit immensely from Geist’s curated, user-centric approach. 

How Geist is Changing the Game

Geist is the first-ever Layer 3 blockchain created exclusively for gaming. The chain uses the Arbitrum Orbit framework and settles to Base. The members-only platform is built to tackle looming challenges in the broader web3 gaming ecosystem with innovative improvements to the gaming experience. Major problems include:

• Inflated user numbers from botting and Sybil attacks.

• Reward systems that end up benefiting bots and multi-account users instead of real players

• Player churn, where users quickly leave once incentives dry up, undermining communities

Geist tackles these challenges directly by offering a carefully curated space where quality and engagement take precedence. By targeting a more focused and committed user base, Geist ensures that rewards go to genuine players, promoting lasting loyalty and community development.

How Alchemy Will Shape Geist’s Success

We’re bringing the complete Alchemy experience to Geist, ensuring games on Geist run seamlessly and users enjoy an uninterrupted, immersive experience.

As part of our partnership, we’ll integrate the comprehensive Alchemy platform into Geist, including:

• Core Node APIs

• Subgraphs for comprehensive indexing

• Key data APIs like Token API, Transact, and Webhooks
