Proof of Play launches second chain Boss this week


Proof of Play announced the launch of its second chain, Boss, to support primary chain Apex for horizontal scalability.

Amitt Mahajan, Proof of Play’s founder and CEO, said in a statement, “To scale to any significant number of users, transactions need to be distributed across multiple chains using the blockchain as an advanced database. During my time developing Farmville, we had to manage around 64 databases to support 30 million daily active users and prevent the game from crashing. This technology is bigger than gaming; horizontal scaling is needed for any highly ambitious application with a large volume of onchain compute, such as new types of social or other consumer [decentralized apps].”
