Crypto Game Infected Ditches Base for Solana Over 'Demand' Issues, Pushback Ensues
Infected, a pandemic-simulation crypto game, will migrate from Ethereum's Layer-2 solution, Base, to Solana due to technical issues during its launch. The game experienced high transaction volumes that led to gas price spikes, frustrating users and disrupting gameplay. Infected's team attributed the problems to Base's inability to handle transactions, while Base's architect, Jesse Pollak, disputed these claims, stating the chain functioned properly and offered support to Infected. Despite Base's total value locked at $3.05 billion and 1.2 million active addresses, Infected maintained that gas spikes were the root cause of their issues. The situation has sparked debate within the crypto community, with mixed reactions regarding Infected's launch strategy and claims of inexperience.
