Minimizing Gas Fees: Hooked Implements User Interactions Layer on opBNB

Hooked
Leverages
opBNB
for
Cost-Effective
User
Interactions

According
to
the

BNB
Chain
Blog,
Hooked,
a
gamified
educational
platform
on
the
BNB
Chain,
has
effectively
managed
high
transaction
volumes
while
maintaining
efficiency
and
cost-effectiveness.
However,
with
its
requirement
for
a
large
volume
of
on-chain
interactions,
the
transaction
costs
on
BNB
Smart
Chain
might
still
be
prohibitive,
especially
when
the
project
needs
to
sponsor
users’
gas
fees.
This
challenge
was
addressed
by
Hooked
through
a
two-layer
architecture.

Addressing
High
Traffic
and
Gasless
Transactions

Hooked
is
a
unique
platform
that
provides
a
streamlined
channel
for
non-tech
savvy
users
to
engage
with
the
web3
world.
It
allows
users
to
log
in
with
Google
accounts
to
create
their
Hooked
wallet.
Users
can
then
participate
in
daily
check-ins
and
finish
quiz
challenges
to
earn
rewards,
including
soulbound
token
NFTs
and
in-app
credits,
which
can
be
exchanged
for
on-chain
tokens.

However,
the
project
faced
several
challenges.
For
instance,
popular
campaigns
would
lead
to
significant
increases
in
traffic
that
could
potentially
impact
users’
on-chain
interactions.
Another
challenge
was
the
need
for
gasless
transactions
to
reduce
friction
for
users.
This
required
the
project
to
sponsor
the
transaction
costs
for
their
users.
Moreover,
the
infrastructure
optimization
was
crucial
to
handle
sudden
traffic
surges
while
maintaining
smooth
user
interactions
despite
web3
complexities.

The
Solution:
opBNB
and
EIP4337

To
address
these
challenges,
Hooked
implemented
the
opBNB
network.
opBNB
is
BNB
Chain’s
scaling
solution,
offering
higher
throughput
and
lower
gas
fees.
This
helped
Hooked
handle
traffic
spikes
effectively,
while
the
much
lower
cost
meant
the
project
had
to
pay
less
gas
to
users
compared
with
BSC.

The
gasless
solution
was
facilitated
through
the
Smart
Contract
Wallet,
powered
by
EIP4337,
which
also
functions
as
a
wallet-as-a-service.
This
enabled
users
to
log
in
using
their
Google
accounts
to
create
a
Hooked
wallet
on
opBNB.
The
social
login
and
smart
wallet
are
powered
by
the
Particle
Network,
which
provides
the
embedded
wallet
and
integrates
with
Google
Authentication
for
users.

BNB
Chain
as
Asset
Layer

The
BNB
Chain,
as
the
DeFi
hub,
serves
as
the
asset
layer
for
Hooked.
Users
can
seamlessly
exchange
their
in-app
credits
for
Hooked
tokens
or
other
BEP/EIP20
tokens
through
DeFi
platforms.
Users
are
responsible
for
covering
the
gas
fees
associated
with
these
exchanges.
Additionally,
users
can
also
trade
Hooked
tokens
they
earned
from
learning
on
CEX
like
Binance.

By
using
opBNB
as
its
interaction
layer
due
to
its
affordability,
Hooked
can
sponsor
new
users’
gas
costs.
At
the
same
time,
leveraging
opBNB’s
higher
capacity
of
100M
gas
per
second,
Hooked
can
effectively
handle
traffic
spikes
during
its
campaigns.
Meanwhile,
BSC
serves
as
the
asset
layer,
tapping
into
its
status
as
the
DeFi
hub
of
the
BNB
Chain.
This
allows
users
the
opportunity
to
pay
their
own
gas
fees,
opening
doors
to
explore
the
diverse
DeFi
offerings
within
the
BNB
Chain
ecosystem.
