The G7 Network mainnet has officially launched, marking a major step in onchain gaming infrastructure. Designed as a high-throughput, low-cost network, G7 aims to support web3 gaming and digital economies at scale.
After months of private testing, which processed over 6 million transactions and saw 1,400 contract deployments, G7 Network is now migrating its core infrastructure. This move includes onboarding over 600,000 gamers, signaling a shift toward a dedicated blockchain ecosystem for gaming.
Why G7 Network?
The web3 gaming space has long struggled with high gas fees, slow transaction speeds, and network congestion on general-purpose blockchains. G7 Network has been developed as a specialized solution that caters specifically to the needs of blockchain-based games and digital economies.
This decision was influenced by past experiences—when the G7 Portal handled millions of transactions on zkSync Era, it often consumed 25-40% of the network's bandwidth and incurred over $50,000 in gas fees. These challenges highlighted the need for a dedicated gaming blockchain to improve efficiency and scalability.
Built on Arbitrum's Orbit Stack
G7 Network is built using Arbitrum's Orbit stack, a robust Ethereum-compatible framework that has been battle-tested for gaming environments. This foundation allows developers to create and scale web3 games with low fees, fast transactions, and better user experiences.
With this infrastructure, G7 aims to provide:
- Lower costs for both developers and players.
- Faster processing speeds for gaming interactions.
- Scalability to handle millions of active users without congestion.
The Roadmap for G7 Network
The launch of G7 Network is happening in phases to ensure a smooth transition for developers and players:
- Phase 1 (Live Now): Identity and avatar migrations have begun through the G7 Portal at app.game7.io. This allows users to interact with the network and claim their digital identities.
- Phase 2: Infrastructure partners will onboard to G7, ensuring the network launches with a strong ecosystem of tools and services for game developers.
- Phase 3: The full permissionless activation of the network, allowing anyone to build on G7, completing its transformation into an open and decentralized gaming blockchain.
