# Scalability Considerations

1. Layer 2 Technology
   1. Immutable X’s Layer 2 solution ensures that *AI Pocalypse* can handle high transaction volumes, with up to 9,000 transactions per second (TPS), avoiding congestion and delays typical of Layer 1 Ethereum.
2. Gas-Free Transactions
   1. Players can mint, trade, and transfer NFTs without gas fees, making high-frequency interactions viable and cost-effective, supporting both casual and high-volume players.
3. Decentralized Infrastructure
   1. The game leverages decentralized storage solutions (e.g., IPFS) to handle large volumes of metadata and assets, ensuring scalability without overloading centralized servers.
4. Dynamic Scaling for Player Growth
   1. The marketplace, gameplay systems, and backend infrastructure are designed to scale dynamically as the player base grows, ensuring smooth performance even during peak demand.
5. Cross-Platform Interoperability
   1. NFTs and game assets can interact seamlessly across other Immutable X-compatible platforms, enabling the game to scale beyond its own ecosystem.
6. Optimized Game Logic
   1. AI computations and mission logic are distributed efficiently, ensuring that game servers can handle complex interactions without compromising performance.
