Pentagon Games:
Building a Creator-Driven Spatial Layer for the Web3 Internet
Web3 gaming has exploded in experimentation, but many ecosystems still rely on shared infrastructure that fails to scale with real user needs. Pentagon Games is not one of them.

With over 7 years of experience in on-chain game development, a Telegram game with 1.2M MAUs, and titles integrated into mainstream platforms like Amazon Prime’s CryptoKnights, Pentagon was no stranger to Web3 growth. But the limitations of shared networks and insecure bridges pushed them to chart a new path.

They launched Pentagon Chain—a Polygon CDK-based ZK rollup anchored to Ethereum, giving them sovereign control over their infrastructure while inheriting Ethereum-level security. Their vision: a fully immersive, AI-powered digital economy across 3D experiences, NFTs, decentralized social, and more.
“We’ve seen firsthand how public chains can’t scale for real-world gaming. With Pentagon Chain, we’re taking control—gas, liquidity, social, everything—while keeping Ethereum-grade trust. And Zeeve helped us turn that into reality.”
— Idon Liu, Co-founder, Pentagon Games
The Challenge:
A Full-Scale Ecosystem Held Back by Fragile Infrastructure
For years, Pentagon Games led Web3 gaming — delivering fully on-chain experiences, maintaining over a million monthly users, and launching successful IPs like Blockchain Superheroes. But as their vision expanded beyond traditional gameplay into AI-generated worlds, spatial 3D interactions, and decentralized social economies, the limitations of existing infrastructure became painfully clear.

Gas Volatility Destroyed Game Economy Design

As Pentagon’s games scaled, they became victims of their own success. On public chains, even moderate spikes in activity would cause transaction fees to soar, making in-game microtransactions completely unviable. This crippled gameplay loops and reward mechanisms that relied on affordable, frequent actions.

Congestion from Unrelated Projects

Shared blockchains exposed Pentagon’s users to instability from applications that had nothing to do with gaming. Peak times caused latency, failed transactions, and frustrating user experiences — especially damaging in real-time, immersive gameplay environments where responsiveness is critical.

Bridges Introduced Security and Cost Risks

To move value across ecosystems, Pentagon Games had to rely on third-party bridges — the single most exploited point in Web3. These not only carried high security risks, but also charged hidden fees ranging from 1–5% per transaction, undermining user trust and value transfer efficiency.

Missing Core Ecosystem Infrastructure

Key building blocks — like NFT marketplaces with batch bidding, DeFi-style AMMs, or contract-level access control — simply didn’t exist in a composable, scalable way. Pentagon Games was forced to either compromise on product quality or reinvent the wheel in fragmented environments.

Lack of Control Over Network Behavior

Without sovereignty over block production, contract permissions, or on-chain gas dynamics, Pentagon Games couldn’t enforce rules tailored to gaming. Anyone could deploy spam contracts, congest the network, or undercut user experience — and the team had no way to stop it.

No Chain Optimized for AI + Spatial Workloads

The core innovation of PenXR — AI-generated avatars, 3D spatial rendering, immersive identity layers — required fast, low-latency infrastructure with predictable costs and settlement integrity. No existing chain offered the performance or design flexibility required to run AI agents and spatial social interactions natively on-chain.
CodeNekt aimed to solve these problems not just with better UI but with a dedicated Avalanche L1 blockchain network that could serve as the digital backbone for vehicle identity and interaction.
The Solution: 

A Polygon CDK Rollup for AI-Driven Gaming & 3D Spatial Internet — Powered by Zeeve RaaS
Pentagon Games is developing the foundational infrastructure for a spatial, creator-owned internet, where AI, XR, social economies, and immersive gameplay all run natively on-chain, secured by Ethereum and purpose-built for immersive 3D interactions, real-time AI agents, and monetizable user-generated content.

Their ecosystem blends gaming, NFTs, and decentralized social into a unified, high-performance digital layer. To bring their infrastructure vision to life, Pentagon Games chose Polygon CDK with ZK settlement to Ethereum, and for implementation, they partnered with Zeeve, an official CDK RaaS partner.
“Vertical chains like CodeNekt can’t afford even a moment of uncertainty. They run real-world systems with real consequences. We engineered every part of their L1 to deliver enterprise-grade uptime, data integrity, and observability at scale.”
- Dr. Ravi Chamria, Co-founder & CEO of Zeeve.
Here’s what we implemented together:

Dedicated Polygon CDK Rollup Infrastructure

Zeeve provisioned, deployed, and optimized the full Polygon CDK rollup stack for Pentagon Chain. This enables sovereign control over gas dynamics, contract curation, and governance. This gave Pentagon Games a secure and modular foundation to run its multi-product ecosystem without compromise.

RPC-Level Access Control via Proxy Integration

To preserve the curated nature of their ecosystem, Pentagon Games wanted to restrict who could deploy contracts on the chain. Zeeve integrated a third-party proxy (Verse Proxy) at the RPC level to whitelist deployer wallets — ensuring that only authorized apps and developers can launch smart contracts on Pentagon Chain.

Customized Testnet Faucet for GetPC Onboarding

Zeeve modified the standard faucet implementation to align with Pentagon Games' GetPC onboarding campaign, which offers gas token incentives to new users. This involved customizing the flow to handle user eligibility and reward tiers as per Pentagon’s native incentive logic.

Enterprise-Grade Observability and Uptime

Pentagon Games' real-time products — from XR streaming to AI-powered social feeds — demand high availability and monitoring. Zeeve delivered a 99.97% uptime-backed infrastructure setup, with dashboards, alerts, and DevOps tooling to support live operations across continents and time zones.

CDK-Compatible, Upgrade-Safe Implementation

To future-proof their chain, Zeeve ensured zero deviation from the upstream CDK stack. This lets Pentagon seamlessly adopt new Polygon updates, tooling, and features — critical for maintaining long-term compatibility across the evolving CDK ecosystem.


  • Only users owning a Memento Soulbound NFT can make a deposit.
  • Superusers can perform unrestricted L1→L2 operations. Superusers are privileged roles (protocol admins or authorized institutional actors) who have elevated permissions.

This infrastructure enabled Memento to do private transactions, permissioned onboarding, default interoperability, and a compliance-first architecture trusted by Deutsche Bank, recognized by MAS, and designed for scale.
Through this partnership, CodeNekt was able to build not just a blockchain network but a reliable, transparent, and high-performance digital infrastructure for vehicle data that’s already powering integrations across 17 countries.
The Value Addition by Zeeve
While Pentagon Chain’s Polygon CDK stack forms the technical backbone, Zeeve’s contributions went far beyond deployment — enabling the ecosystem to be curated, scalable, secure, and ready for real-world gaming and AI-social workloads.
“After months and months of development, having a partner like Zeeve is a relief. We completely outsourced the launch and hosting of our Layer 1. Zeeve brought our product to life in just a few moments. “
— Francis Hachem, CEO, CodeNekt
Here are the value additions by Zeeve:

Infrastructure Tailored for Real-Time, Multi-Product Workloads

Pentagon Games is an entire stack of spatial, gaming, DeFi, and social products. Zeeve provisioned infrastructure not just for chain uptime, but to support concurrent, high-frequency workloads across multiple verticals. Zeeve has fine-tuned their zkProver infrastructure to optimize costs and deliver maximum value for money as usage scales.
The system was tuned to meet the demands of XR rendering, avatar interactions, NFT swaps, and AMM liquidity all happening simultaneously.

Chain-Level Governance via Smart Access Controls

Zeeve's integration of the Verse Proxy created a practical governance layer — allowing Pentagon to approve who can deploy contracts and maintain ecosystem quality. This access model was critical to preventing spam deployments and ensuring only vetted applications become part of the spatial network.

No DevOps Overhead for Pentagon’s Team

By leveraging Zeeve’s managed RaaS platform, Pentagon offloaded the burden of rollup DevOps entirely. From upgrades and health checks to alerting and observability, Zeeve handled infrastructure operations end-to-end — allowing Pentagon Games' developers to stay focused on game mechanics, AI agents, and ecosystem UX.

Ready-to-Scale Foundation for Ecosystem Growth

Zeeve configured the infra to be future-proof and horizontally scalable. As Pentagon Games expands to onboard more games, creators, and users, the chain infra — including monitoring, proxy logic, and modular integrations — can scale with minimal rework or downtime.

Seamless CDK Compatibility & Core Alignment

Zeeve ensured that Pentagon Chain remained 100% aligned with upstream CDK releases — with no custom forks or off-stack modules. This guarantees Pentagon will receive future improvements in performance, security, and tooling from the broader Polygon ecosystem, without the risk of breaking changes or manual patching.

Transparent Observability for Production-Grade Operations

Through Zeeve’s dashboards and real-time logs, Pentagon Games’ team has full visibility into chain performance, usage patterns, and potential bottlenecks. This observability helps the team react quickly during high traffic — whether from a new game launch or a social event — and maintain SLA-grade user experience.
The Result: 

CodeNekt’s Automotive Blockchain Is Live and Already Rewiring the Industry
The CodeNekt mainnet is now fully operational, with vehicles actively being minted as dynamic NFTs and real-world service data streaming into the blockchain. Already integrated with Euromaster—a Michelin Group subsidiary with over 2,600 service centers across Europe—CodeNekt is now one of the few vertical-specific chains in production use by enterprise networks.

Fleet managers use the SaaS platform to monitor Total Cost of Ownership and automate compliance. Individual users manage service records and receive AI-driven maintenance alerts. Garages record events that trigger insurance flows or emission log updates—all written to the L1 chain.

The $CDK utility token is live, powering both transactional gas and incentive logic across the ecosystem. New partnerships are being negotiated to bring in booking automation, usage-based insurance, eco-driving incentives, and even fractional vehicle ownership—all backed by CodeNekt’s blockchain as the source of truth.
“Deutsche Bank has even used ZKsync’s tech to build its own rollup called the Memento ZK Chain Project, which is a core component in Singapore’s massive Project Guardian tokenization effort.”
The mainnet launch of Memento ZK Chain was a clear signal that Zeeve’s rollup infrastructure can meet the highest bar of institutional readiness. Memento’s ZK Chain now powers Project DAMA 2, a multi-chain fund servicing initiative under Singapore’s Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS). It automates complex lifecycle operations like fund issuance, redemption, rebalancing, and compliance reporting—entirely onchain.

This kind of readiness arrives at a moment of accelerating demand. The onchain Real-World Asset (RWA) market reached $22.6 billion in May 2025, with a 7.5% monthly growth rate. Institutions are entering the space, and infrastructure like Memento ZK Chain is what they’re looking for—EVM-equivalent, compliant by design, and extensible for cross-chain operations.

Delphi Research and others have already flagged Memento as a model for what compliant rollup infrastructure should look like in the next phase of Ethereum adoption.

And at the heart of it, Zeeve’s RaaS platform provided the foundation to bring it to life.
