Greetings,

Cryptocurrencies are reshaping finance and beyond. How could Hive leverage the second layer of token currencies for more interactive business operations in the gaming communities? In doing so, how does Hive contribute to innovative financial practices in the gaming industry?

There are already games using Hive Engine tokens in various ways, so real-life case studies exist. An advantage of using L2 tokens is that authentication, wallets, swap pools, staking, delegating, transfers, and trading infrastructure already exist. The downside is that token parameters are difficult/impossible to change after setup. The L2 might also not be fast enough or the resource costs too high to spam with every in-game micro-transaction. In that case, a game can create a rollup to L2/L1 to maintain transparency/verifiability if that's desired and have some method to transfer tokens in/out of the game to the regular L2 world. Also, for some games, it might not be good for the game economy to make all in-game resources transferrable to L2 tokens. Games can benefit from allowing the creators control over how in-game resources work so that they can respond to changes in the game economy and keep the game fun.

Thank you
You are right about the in-game assets not being not transferable.
Peace

I think that Hive needs to use this layer to attract new users.  Hive has a number of popular games and they all have tokens.

The second layer should be used to provide more rewards for new users and potentially more RC so they can use the protocol without fear of running out.  We need to attract and nurture more new heads on this platform.
