LightLink allows businesses to subscribe their applications to operate gas-free, enabling users to participate in a public blockchain ecosystem without owning any tokens or having to pay any gas fees. The partnership will facilitate Animoca Brands’ projects and portfolio companies to offer their users a robust Web3 experience with no friction and minimal complexity.

 

LightLink streamlines the Web3 development process, offering significant utility like NFT ticket issuance without requiring a native token and seamless gaming asset transfers without gas fees, leading to a more streamlined user experience. LightLink is already used by over 25 partners, including Grapes and The Red Village, and is being integrated in Translucia, a US$300 million venture by MQDC and T&B Media Global.

 

Together, Animoca Brands and LightLink aim to foster a more interconnected economy, bridging dApps with millions of users from enterprise partners and improving blockchain mainstream adoption.

Roy Hui, co-founder and CEO of LightLink, commented: “It is great to partner with industry leader Animoca Brands, making blockchain more accessible and user-friendly to everyone around the world. This partnership marks a pivotal step in integrating blockchain into the daily lives of millions.”

 

Yat Siu, co-founder and executive chairman of Animoca Brands, said: “LightLink is already collaborating with our portfolio companies Grapes and The Red Village, and this new partnership will take us one step closer toward a frictionless Web3 world. LightLink’s gasless transactions can help broader adoption, aligning with our vision to decentralize the digital landscape and make blockchain benefits universally accessible.”
