What challenges did COMBO face before AI implementation?

Web3 games require a full-stack solution integrating mainstream game engines with blockchain. Gaming traffic can surge rapidly during game events, creating a need for elastic and stable RPC access for the Testnet. The network needs high availability, low latency, and secure infrastructure to support developers globally.

What was the impact of the AI solution?

Improved stability and availability of the COMBO network under rapidly changing traffic. Developers can more easily build Web3 games on Testnet with low-latency RPC access. The implementation supports COMBO's goal of global, decentralized infrastructure.
