About Playnance
PlayBlock uses the Arbitrum Orbit stack in AnyTrust mode, with an external data availability committee, and settles to Arbitrum Nova. L2BEAT classifies it as "Other" instead of a rollup because fewer than five external parties can submit challenges or attest data availability. The PlayBlock team runs the sequencer, and users can force transactions through Arbitrum Nova after a delay.
The chain is EVM-compatible on chain ID 1829 and is built for gasless transactions for end users. It hosts the Playnance ecosystem, including the PlayW3 social gaming platform, and USDP is its USD-pegged token.
