# Dark Forest Community Round for Jump Crypto's Pit Event

A  second community round for AltLayer-powered Dark Forest was launched as a part of Jump Crypto x Polygon’s “[The PIT Community](https://jumpcrypto.com/polygonatthepit/)” initiative, from **4th Feb till 5th Feb**. The game was hosted on a disposable flash layer.

Mini-games like this community round of Dark Forest — which run for a specific window of time —  greatly benefit from a dedicated game layer for a short burst of time, given they create huge spikes in transaction volume when they’re running. Post-game, after the layer is disposed off, the in-game assets settle back onto the underlying chain after one which could also trade them on marketplaces like OpenSea.&#x20;
