The Polkadot blockchain has set a new record by minting 4930 NFTs per minute, surpassing previous milestones set by Solana and Polygon.
In a press release shared with Cryptowisser, Unique Network, a parachain of Polkadot specializing in composable NFTs, revealed that NFTs for the interactive Web3 game Forever Has Fallen were minted via its network.
The tokens, known as Bounty Hunter Tickets (BHTs), are integral to the immersive experience of Forever Has Fallen, granting players access to the Hunters Lair within the game’s metaverse.
The team revealed that its developers carried out extensive tests across various blockchain networks, evaluating critical factors such as gas fees, minting speed and overall performance. This rigorous assessment phase involved minting three lots of 100,000 NFTs, with developers ultimately concluding that Polkadot’s infrastructure was optimally suited for the historic mass NFT minting.
This latest development makes Polkadot a highly attractive network for Web3 gaming projects requiring rapid delivery of NFTs to users. By leveraging Unique Network’s technology and the Polkadot SDK, Forever Has Fallen’s ability to transfer thousands of NFTs at unprecedented speeds enables its story-driven interactive metaverse to make a powerful impact.
While commenting on this milestone, Kimon Lycos, Founder and CEO of Incite, the Production Studio behind Forever Has Fallen, said,
“Because our production is first and foremost about fun, we want Web3 elements to be under the hood, and to have this type of speed will enable a Web2-type experience of instant gratification.”
Alexandar Mitrovic, CEO of Unique Network added that,
“Working on Polkadot offers great flexibility. We are free to optimize the code and forklessly upgrade the chain. Our core developers have been waiting for an opportunity to test a series of performance improvement ideas on a large scale. Forever Has Fallen gave them the opportunity to present a business case that talks to mass consumers.”
Polkadot enables multiple blockchain networks to interoperate and share information seamlessly, empowering them to work together under the protection of shared security. Meanwhile, Unique Network is a scalable blockchain for composable NFTs with advanced economies. A parachain of Polkadot, Unique offers a suite of advanced NFT features to enable the next generation of NFT use cases in gaming, art, e-commerce, real estate or any other industry.
Finally, Forever Has Fallen is an interactive Web3 metaverse project that combines listen anywhere/anytime audio drama with online escape rooms that extend the story and turn the experience into a game. Fans earn digital rewards the deeper they dive into websites, social media profiles, interactive messaging and hidden content (Easter eggs).
