Playnance has launched GCOIN Staking, a new mechanism designed to deepen participation within the company’s expanding Web3 entertainment ecosystem. The staking program is now live on the PlayW3 platform and immediately attracted strong interest, with over 250 million GCOIN tokens locked by users within the first hours following its release.

The initiative enables GCOIN holders to stake their tokens and receive rewards tied to the broader activity of the Playnance ecosystem. The launch also arrives ahead of the upcoming GCOIN Token Generation Event scheduled for March 18, marking another step in the evolution of the token’s economic model.

Staking allows users to lock their tokens in smart contract pools while participating in rewards distributed through the ecosystem. The mechanism encourages long term engagement by aligning user incentives with the growth and performance of the platform.

Participants can stake a minimum of 1,000 GCOIN through four available lock periods of six, nine, twelve, or eighteen months. Longer commitments provide higher reward weight within the staking program.

Once staking is activated, rewards begin accumulating after 24 hours. Users can claim rewards once the selected staking period reaches maturity. While early withdrawals remain possible, users who exit early forfeit the rewards associated with their stake.

According to Playnance CEO Pini Peter, the staking initiative reflects the company’s broader vision for building a collaborative Web3 ecosystem.

“Through staking, the Playnance community becomes an active part of the ecosystem’s growth,” Peter said. “As the network continues to expand, token holders can become active contributors to its long-term development.”

A key feature of the staking system is its connection to ecosystem activity. Unlike conventional staking models that rely on inflationary emissions, Playnance distributes rewards through an ecosystem allocation tied to platform performance.

As more users engage with Playnance products, the revenue generated through the network contributes to the pool of staking rewards. This model helps align incentives between the success of the ecosystem and the rewards received by participants.

GCOIN serves as the foundational asset powering Playnance’s Web3 entertainment infrastructure, supporting a range of digital experiences, including social gaming, prediction markets, and trading environments.

By introducing staking, Playnance aims to strengthen the long term stability of the GCOIN economy while giving community members an opportunity to participate in the platform’s ongoing evolution.

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush.  Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs.  Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…
