An EVM-compatible Avalanche Subnet for the Shrapnel extraction-shooter ecosystem, offering low-latency, low-cost transactions for on-chain items and UGC marketplaces, with SHRAPG as gas.
Shrapnel Subnet is an Avalanche EVM mainnet dedicated to the Shrapnel game, using SHRAPG as its native gas token and optimized for real-time gameplay and a creator-driven UGC economy. Core use cases include on-chain minting/trading of items and mods with programmable royalties, near-instant settlement of match outcomes, and low-cost player transactions bridged to/from Ethereum and Avalanche C-Chain. Performance highlights: ~1–2s block times (~2s finality), practical bursts in the 100+ TPS range, sub-cent average gas (often <$0.01 per tx), and activity that spikes during game seasons and drops.
Shrapnel Subnet is unique because it runs on isolated, game-optimized Avalanche infrastructure with its own validator set and fee market, ensuring predictable low latency without congestion from unrelated dApps. It pairs EVM compatibility with a native creator economy (on-chain provenance and royalties) and seamless cross-chain bridges, delivering sub-cent fees, ~1–2s blocks, and 100+ TPS bursts for real-time play. Developers can tune gas limits, access lists, and economic parameters for SHRAPG to guarantee consistent UX—capabilities most generalized L1/L2 networks don’t offer for high-frequency gaming.
