<p>Web3 games rely on blockchain networks, although recently we have seen several game studios develop their own. Aavegotchi is aiming to elevate this concept with its new initiative, Geist. This members-only blockchain focuses on rewarding real users and is currently live on the mainnet.</p><p>In a recent interview at Token2049 in Singapore, Jason Desimone, Aavegotchi's Director of Brand Strategy, provided insights into Geist and what players can anticipate. Geist is a Layer3 solution developed by Aavegotchi that offers transactions with sub-second latency while keeping fees low. The primary objective of Geist is to identify genuine users and detect bot activity.<br>&nbsp;</p><div class="raw-html-embed"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-media-max-width="560"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">The <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Gotchiverse?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Gotchiverse</a> is about to level up! <br><br>This October, <a href="https://twitter.com/aavegotchi?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@aavegotchi</a> will launch Geist, a new L3 powered along with Base, <a href="https://twitter.com/arbitrum?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@arbitrum</a>, and Alchemy. Bringing in fresh Web3 gaming experiences, starting with Gotchi Guardians—a thrilling tower defense from a Web2 game legend! 🔥<br><br>Also,… <a href="https://t.co/6kEvjJ6uYv">pic.twitter.com/6kEvjJ6uYv</a></p>— Funjible Games (@FunjibleGames) <a href="https://twitter.com/FunjibleGames/status/1843936041805500530?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 9, 2024</a></blockquote> <script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div><p><br>To foster a friendly community, Aavegotchi is selective about granting access to its members-only blockchain. The team will examine wallet addresses and transaction histories to ensure that only authentic users gain entry. If an address exhibits signs of bot-like behavior, membership will be denied, creating a thriving ecosystem for real players. With bots out of the picture, players can enjoy attractive rewards. Geist will enhance Aavegotchi's rewards offerings, and the mainnet launch on October 31 marked the beginning of an exciting exclusive NFT mint.<br>&nbsp;</p><h2>Celebrate Aavegotchi's Geist with NFTs</h2><p>For a limited time, players can mint a commemorative NFT for Geist's mainnet launch&nbsp;<a href="https://www.playongeist.com/mint?ref=blog.aavegotchi.com">here</a>. You'll first need to bridge your GHST holdings from Base to Geist via the Arbitrum bridge. This NFT also marks the end of an era for Aavegotchi, as the project walks away from <a href="https://funjible.games/games?blockchain=Polygon">Polygon</a> after three years. Active players are required to migrate their Aavegotchi-related holdings, and the process begins this month.</p><p>With Geist settling in, the Aavegotchi team aims to roll out new experiences for players. There is a lot to look forward to, ranging from cross-game reward campaigns to launching a gaming console. <a href="https://gotchiverse.io">Gotchiverse</a> will continue to live and breathe with the help of Geist.<br>&nbsp;</p><div class="raw-html-embed"><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/PtgZT-dVERI?si=cTxNp09Hcspkrbp_" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><h2>Bots Be Gone</h2><p>Botting has been a consistent issue in Web3 gaming. Many games offer reward-driven events that are often targeted by bot users, who create multiple wallets and automate their actions. As a result, these events can become overwhelming, causing genuine players to miss out on exclusive rewards.</p><p>Geist represents a positive step toward addressing this challenge, as it focuses on finding ways to detect bots in Web3 games. If successful, Geist could set a precedent, encouraging other gaming-focused blockchains to implement similar features. By becoming more committed to rewarding real users, games could attract more attention and increase their player base.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><div class="raw-html-embed"><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/tP81FipqaE4?si=ts0MN-6u_oa4GGyn" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p><br><br>&nbsp;</p>
