Xterio
Xterio is a Web3 gaming ecosystem that provides on-chain infrastructure and publishing solutions for game developers and players. The platform integrates artificial intelligence technology with blockchain gaming to create an interconnected ecosystem centered around the XTER token. [1] [2] [3]
Overview
Xterio operates as an AI-powered Web3 game Layer 2 ecosystem that serves as a comprehensive hub for blockchain gaming. The platform was developed to bridge the gap between traditional gaming and Web3 technology, offering tools and infrastructure for game developers while providing players with immersive gaming experiences that incorporate digital ownership.
The ecosystem encompasses multiple components designed to support both developers and players. For developers, Xterio provides a chain-agnostic solution that simplifies blockchain integration through APIs and ready-to-use smart contracts. This includes proprietary Layer 2 chains (XterioChain ETH and XterioChain BNB) that facilitate on-chain operations such as tokens, NFTs, and digital assets management.
For players, Xterio offers a curated gallery of games with AI-enhanced features, account abstracted wallet integration, a decentralized identity system, an NFT marketplace, and community applications. The platform supports cross-platform play, allowing users to access Xterio titles across different devices while maintaining wallet connections and NFT interactions.
As of April 2025, Xterio has attracted over 8 million players and processed more than 123 million on-chain transactions, demonstrating adoption within the blockchain gaming space. [1] [2] [3]
Technology
Xterio's technological infrastructure is built around several key components that enable its Web3 gaming ecosystem:
Gaming Chains
Xterio has developed its own Layer 2 blockchain solutions powered by Optimism technology:

Xterio Token (XTER)
The XTER token serves as the native cryptocurrency of the Xterio ecosystem. It functions as the central element that connects various components of the platform and enables its economic model.
Token Utility
The XTER token has several use cases within the ecosystem:
Staking: Users can stake XTER tokens to secure the network through EigenLayer AVS and receive rewards
Governance: Token holders can participate in decision-making processes regarding the platform's development and policies
In-game transactions: XTER can be used for purchases within games in the Xterio ecosystem
Fee payments: The token is used to pay for various services on the platform
XTER is available for trading on several cryptocurrency exchanges, including:
Additionally, users can acquire XTER through Xterio's own decentralized exchange (DEX) called Xterswap .
Restaking Mechanism
Xterio implements a restaking mechanism that allows ETH holders to secure the Xterio Rollup through Eigenlayer AVS (Actively Validated Services). This process not only contributes to network security but also provides participants with rewards and benefits. [4] [1] [5]
