A few weeks ago, Coinbase (Base) announced a partnership with Atari, the gaming giant, bringing arcade classics like Asteroids and Breakout “onchain” as part of their ongoing “Onchain Summer” campaign. Much like everyone else, we found this move quite based, paid the minting fees, and proceeded to play Asteroids. Few games in, one of our engineers got bored and started wondering the obvious question: “where’s the onchain?”.

During the EthCC 2024 week in Brussels, the Avail team hosted the Unification Cup, bringing together many people from the ecosystem to participate in a football tournament. We, at Stackr Labs, partnered with the Avail team to develop an application-specific ephemeral rollup on top of Avail DA for the tournament.

If you’ve been deep in the trenches of Account Abstraction (AA) and Rollup scaling, you’ve probably come across the term “Keystore Rollup”. Since this concept sits at the intersection of two of "The Three Transitions", it represent a significant step towards a more global-scale and user-friendly Ethereum ecosystem.

Micro-Rollups are an evolution of how app-specific rollups, or single-app rollups, should be built. It was only fair that we reimagined what the developer tooling should look like to significantly enhance the process of building a micro-rollup.

Attestation. It's one of those loaded words with a generic meaning; almost everyone has some notion of what they think it means, and everyone has, at some point in their lives, used the concept without perhaps realising.

We are excited to announce the launch of the Private Beta for Stackr's SDK! This is a significant milestone in our development as for the first time we open up the SDK to people all around the globe. We can’t wait to see what the community ends up building with micro-rollups.

Points have recently emerged as the catalyst of engagement in the crypto ecosystem, spearheading numerous successful initiatives by leading teams and protocols. Their concept is straightforward: engaging with the protocol in a manner that fosters its growth, results in the protocol rewarding users with points. This mechanism closely mirrors the XP system found in numerous video games, where accumulating points elevates a user's position on a leaderboard, incentivizing them to climb to the top.

The early years of blockchains have been marked by an emotional fixation on the revolutionary potential of web3 and the inherent benefits of decentralization. This emphasis has been crucial to drive innovation and rally early adopters.

We are excited to announce our $5.5M seed round led by Archetype with participation from prominent funds, strategic investors, and angels, including a16z CSS, Lemniscap, Superscrypt, Spartan, Scalar Capital, a\_capital, Sreeram Kannan, Anurag Arjun, Mustafa Al-Bassam and others to onboard the next wave of builders to web3.
