Behind the Success Story of Undying City: How Nodit Powers an Aptos-Based NFT Mobile Game

The growth of Web3 gaming has become a hot topic in both the tech and gaming industries in recent years. With its potential for decentralized ownership, player-driven economies, and groundbreaking blockchain integrations, Web3 gaming has been dubbed the future of gaming. But with all the hype, is it really living up to the expectations?

One project that is striving to prove this potential is Undying City. As a standout Web3 mobile game in the Aptos ecosystem, Undying City is not just riding the Web3 wave but actively shaping it. Recently, they teamed up with Nodit to level up their blockchain infrastructure, and we had a short interview with Mud, the co-founder at Undying City.

In this article, we are taking a closer look at how Nodit’s node services, the Aptos Indexer API, and other features that helping Undying City create a seamless gaming experience in this post.

Why Undying City Chose Aptos?

Before settling on Aptos, the team explored on Ethereum, Solana, and Algorand. Even they have gained some insight related to strengths and challenges on these network, Undying City chose the Aptos blockchain for its high throughput, low latency, and developer-friendly environment at the end. It is beacuse of its scalability and safety features align perfectly with the game’s needs, and the vibrant foundation values as well as the close-knit community.

How Nodit Helped Undying City Scale and Manage Their Growing User Base

Building a Web3 game like Undying City comes with its own set of challenges. While blockchain offers incredible features like true asset ownership, transparent rewards, and community-driven governance, managing all these independently wasn’t easy. The team faced hurdles with scalability and maintaining a reliable infrastructure, until they partnered with Nodit.

When Undying City faced a surge in users, particularly during their recent free-mint event, Nodit’s reliable node services and powerful tools became the perfect solution. With seamless blockchain integration, the team could ensure uninterrupted gameplay and focus on delivering an engaging gaming experience.

💁🏻‍♂️“Nodit’s node service and indexing capabilities are invaluable. They allow us to efficiently manage and query on-chain data, which is crucial for gameplay and NFT minting,” said Mud.

As demand increased, the CTO of Undying City, Dan also highlighted the importance of production-ready infrastructure, adding:

👨🏻‍💻“When there’s a spike in users during free mints, we need a node service that can handle the demand. Nodit was easy to integrate, and the team has been great to work with.”

We can clearly see that the team prioritized ensuring a seamless, error-free experience during the minting period, this is the reason why they were satisfied with our platform. Dan also praised two key features from Nodit that have made a big difference for the team: the "request log" and the ability to allowlist specific IPs. As Dan mentioned,

👨🏻‍💻“The request logs make it easy to see which functions are being called and which requests failed. This is really helpful for troubleshooting. Plus, the allowlist feature prevents abuse and improves security.”

👨🏻‍💻“The request logs provided an intuitive way to monitor the success or failure of API calls made to Nodit Node, effectively serving as a built-in back-office feature without additional effort. This made troubleshooting and service operations significantly easier. Additionally, the IP allowlisting feature proved highly valuable, enhancing the security of our Nodit integration.”

While the developer-friendly experience has been positive, co-founder Mud also emphasized that Nodit’s developer guide is well-documented and beginner-friendly, making it easier for teams to adopt the platform.

By leveraging Nodit’s infrastructure, Undying City has not only tackled its technical challenges but also found a dependable ally in its mission to transform gaming in the Web3 space.

What’s Next for Undying City?

The team is working to strengthen support for Unity mobile games by preparing for Season 2. This includes new content, a token launch with partners, and testing Nodit’s upcoming features. Mud shared that their focus is on growing their user base through partnerships and collaborations, especially within the expanding Aptos ecosystem. They also highly encourage everyone to follow their social media for the related updates.
