Gaming blockchains dominate the industry, and their number will grow | Opinion

Để lại phản hồi

Gaming remains a key driving force behind web3, accounting for nearly one-third of dApps’ daily active audience. Its evolution is fueled by market demand: as millions of users embrace GameFi, blockchain games struggle to handle the load—and build new solutions like game-oriented blockchains to meet growing needs. This further simplifies UX and user onboarding, which will inevitably attract a wave of new players—sparking further growth in the number and quality of gaming-first blockchain networks.

How the idea for gaming blockchains popped up

Blockchain gaming is growing at a record pace. In May 2024, the number of daily unique active wallets in the industry hit the three million mark, setting a new all-time high. Just two months later, GameFi’s dUAW reached a new ATH of four million. It is roughly one-third of the daily users in the entire dApp market, which amounts to 15 million.

It wasn’t always that way. In the early days of Ethereum (ETH), blockchain games were mainly a niche for geeks who were so enthusiastic that they were ready to put up with numerous inefficiencies and poor user experience. Developers realized the ecosystem couldn’t grow like this: constant congestion crises plagued GameFi, forcing users to wait hours for their transactions to be approved, sometimes paying tens of dollars in fees. It became apparent that gaming blockchains had to become more scalable.

Another issue with building games on Ethereum L1 was the lack of control over the development process and the inability to adapt the network to the games’ needs. This led game studios to the idea of creating dedicated and GameFi-oriented blockchains.

The gaming chain pioneers

One of the first blockchains built with scalability in mind was WAX. In 2017, it was initially conceived to make e-commerce transactions faster, but then gained a strong gaming focus: today, WAX closes the top ten gaming blockchains by daily active wallets with 132,000 dUAW and partners with Amazon Prime Gaming and Epic Games Store. 

Many GameFi-oriented L1 blockchains have appeared since then, but one of them stands out—Ronin. By 2020, Sky Mavis, a company known for creating the pioneering Axie Infinity game, shifted to building an L1 ecosystem rather than just a specific game title. The studio migrated its leading games, Axie Infinity and Pixels, to Ronin and focused on developing the network.

The team released Ronin’s testnet roughly two years before Ethereum’s Merge, when scaling plans for the industry’s largest dApp network were still vague. At the time, Ethereum was still leveraging the PoW consensus algorithm, so Ronin’s proof-of-authority and later delegated proof-of-stake were a breakthrough—they reduced energy consumption to near zero and introduced faster block times and transaction fees below $0.001.

Ronin’s efforts have paid off. Today, the ecosystem features 15 games and promises that more are coming. In June 2024, the number of daily active users on the network surpassed that of any other blockchain, including Tron and Solana, reaching the two million mark.

The launch of GameFi-oriented blockchains boosted the industry but didn’t solve all of its problems. Building a dedicated blockchain is time-consuming and expensive, and it doesn’t allow devs to quickly integrate all the innovations that pop up along the way. That’s why the industry players have turned their attention to Layer-2 and Layer-3 infrastructure.

Exploring the potential of new layers for gaming

Soon after Ronin was launched, Ethereum embarked on its journey toward scaling. Optimism, Arbitrum, and other L2s emerged, significantly reducing gas fees and increasing throughput in the Ethereum ecosystem. Some of these networks took steps to strengthen GameFi, adapting their infrastructure for game developers.

The next step in this evolution was the emergence of L3 networks—and this is where it gets really exciting. They cut the block time to 100-300 ms and achieved near-instant transaction finality, opening the way to processing thousands of transactions per second (compared to Ethereum L1’s 12-15 TPS). In addition to the drop in block time and transaction fees, the simplicity of deploying L3s and their customizability created unparalleled opportunities for game development within the Ethereum ecosystem.

Gaming-focused L3s leverage the recent web3 innovations to take the blockchain gaming experience to the next level. For example, PlayBlock, a GameFi L3 blockchain that runs on top of Arbitrum Orbit, uses account abstraction to remove multiple transaction approvals, ensuring uninterrupted gameplay. Relayer technology allows the network to sponsor users’ transactions, introducing a completely gasless experience for players. Self-custodial wallet based on the ERC-4337 standard eliminates the seed phrase and private key management hassle. 

Simply put, gamers on the newest L3s don’t need to manage their wallets, confirm multiple transactions, and pay gas fees. This removes all the complexities typically associated with blockchain gaming, making it accessible to millions of web2 natives who were previously put off by GameFi.

More gaming blockchains are to come 

L2/L3 chains are a priority for GameFi-oriented developers today as they ensure unprecedented scalability and customizability. Another perk is the speed of innovation they can afford: large networks like Ethereum can’t implement groundbreaking changes quickly, while smaller ecosystems have the flexibility to do so.

Corporations give another boost to the industry as some of them are tapping into gaming networks: Sony Group recently announced the launch of Soneium blockchain, an Ethereum Layer-2 focused on security and user-friendly gameplay. It’s quite possible that we will soon see similar blockchains from Ubisoft, Rockstar, or Epic Games, considering Ubisoft’s plans for web3.

Compared to L1 solutions, L2s and L3s require much less effort to launch. For instance, there are rollup-as-a-service solutions that allow for the quick launch of new customizable L3 networks. Thanks to the interest of major players and existing infrastructure, we are likely to see the birth of new gaming-focused blockchains soon, allowing GameFi to go mainstream.

ApeCoin unveils Blueprint for ApeChain to woo creators

Để lại phản hồi

ApeCoin has unveiled the Blueprint for ApeChain, highlighting its focus on enhancing the blockchain experience through content, tools, and distribution.

Bored Ape Yacht Club-inspired crypto ecosystem ApeCoin has unveiled the “Blueprint” for its layer-2 solution ApeChain, marking a key advancement in its blockchain strategy by focusing on content, tools, and distribution to elevate user and developer experiences.

In a press release shared with crypto.news, ApeCoin outlined the first phase of ApeChain’s rollout, which includes prioritizing content partners, developing a user-friendly ecosystem site, and providing robust developer tools.

ApeChain, per Greg Solano, chief executive of Yuga Labs, is prioritizing “killer day one content partners” in an effort to find the “coolest stuff on the chain easy.” The network will also focus on incentives and distribution channels “that help creators get noticed,” Solano added.

To achieve this goal, ApeChain collaborated with web3 firms like Halliday, Decent, and Privy to streamline onboarding and fiat onramps via the ApeChain Portal.

Another component of the ApeChain would enable users to bet on events or individuals via the so-called Reboot Protocol in addition to the Native Yield system developed for withdrawals of assets like ApeCoin (APE) and Ethereum (ETH). ApeCoin says ApeChain’s strategy aligns with Arbitrum milestones, including the integration of Stylus, which allows blockchain developers to build smart contracts using WebAssembly-compatible languages.

As crypto.news reported earlier, the ApeCoin DAO community greenlit the development of ApeChain on Arbitrum in February, with backing from Horizen Labs. The technical roadmap indicates that APE tokens will serve as both the gas and governance token for the new network. A few months later, in July, the ApeChain network debuted testnet named Curtis.

Pavel Durov’s arrest is not a free speech hill to die on | Opinion

Để lại phản hồi

When word broke that the billionaire Telegram CEO Pavel Durov had been arrested in France over the last weekend in August, it became a flashpoint in the global battle over freedom of speech. But then the charges came, including that Telegram had protected users who shared pornographic images, among other crimes.

By the time the charges were announced; however, the internet’s staunchest defenders of free speech ideals had already taken to social media platforms, such as the X platform (former Twitter), to argue that Durov’s arrest was proof of a sinister plot by behind the scenes French and western elites.

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., a former independent presidential candidate in the 2024 election, shared a similar sentiment:

Elon Musk called these “dangerous times” in a post on X.

French President Emanuel Macron, under fire that the action had been a political arrest, said it was run-of-the-mill law enforcement activities and not politically motivated. After the revelations in the charging document, it became clear that those who came quickly to Durov’s defense could be portrayed by a press corps ironically contemptuous as defenders of pedophilia.

The arrest 

Durov was arrested as part of an investigation by French authorities after allegations that the messaging service permitted crimes to occur on its platform. Durov said in April that governments have tried to collect information but that the app should remain neutral and not a geopolitical player.

Now, the self-professed libertarian has a cybersecurity gendarmerie unit, and France’s national anti-fraud police are grilling him while he sits in detention and awaits his first court appearance. 

And since Telegram stores data on its servers, unlike other privacy-focused messaging apps like Signal, which encrypts client-side, refusing to comply with data requests can open the service up to enforcement actions. 

The wider context

Defenders of free speech were already on edge, and perhaps rightfully so. European laws on the books could be seen as an attack on free speech rights, and this is precisely what defenders of free speech were lashing out against when they heard of Durov’s arrest.

For instance, one such law is the Digital Services Act, a primary threat to free speech worldwide. It has been designed to force social media companies to censor users who post content the authorities deem to be disinformation or too extreme. Laws like the DSA are slippery, but Durov’s is not the hill to die on. Yet, too many are lining up to do so. 

John Turley, Professor of Public Interest at George Washington University, told Fox News: “It is like arresting AT&T CEO, because the mob used the telephone to do its business.” The problem with Turley’s analogy is that AT&T is known for sharing information with the government in at least the Fairview program. Elon Musk, too, draws a line at illegal activity.

Durov is different because he is an “anything goes” tech tycoon. 

The real battlefield over free speech

Instead of helping in the fight against censorship, free speech defenders hurt it, showing they lack discernment and will throw their hat in the ring to defend the sexual exploitation of children, even if they did so by accident. The battle over free speech won’t be fought over the administrator of a platform censoring or not censoring information and being arrested or not arrested.

The battle over free speech will be fought—indeed, it is being fought already—over our freedom to access technology that preserves privacy without the need for a middleman. For instance, a platform like Signal encrypts messages on the client side, and the messenger service acts more as a relay, never having access to the encrypted messages sent across its network.

Telegram is a centralized service whose administrators have access to information that could aid serious criminal investigations. If they didn’t want that responsibility, they should have then designed better privacy-preserving tech. For whatever reason, they chose instead to mostly market their app as private rather than make it truly so. 

As for free speech defenders, their battle is elsewhere: defending decentralized tech that provides privacy without reliance on middlemen who can be strong-armed and compromised by governments.

Blockchain ID platforms could shift airdrops from risky to valuable

Để lại phản hồi

The role of airdrops within the blockchain ecosystem has recently been under the microscope after Vitalik Buterin voiced his support for them, but what part do they really play?

Titus Capilnean, Vice President of Go-To-Market at Civic, told crypto.news that airdrops are a powerful tool for building and maintaining a loyal community within blockchain projects. In response to a recent Vitalik Buterin post in support of airdrops, Capilnean pointed out the significant risks posed by malicious actors who exploit these distributions.

“Airdrops are a great form of community-building tool for recognizing and rewarding valuable participation in a project.”

Titus Capilnean, Vice President of Go-To-Market at Civic, told crypto.news

In his original post supporting airdrops, Buterin suggested that airdrops could serve as an ideal testing ground for blockchain-based identity frameworks, addressing common challenges and refining these systems in real-world scenarios. 

The Ethereum (ETH) co-founder also said airdrops could go beyond simple token distribution and become a tool for enhancing community engagement and project security as an initial use case for identity systems.

In most cases, airdrops are designed to reward genuine community members, recognize valuable contributions, and ensure a fair, though not necessarily equal, distribution of tokens. 

One of the most popular token distributions this year was the Dogs (DOGS) airdrop which, consequently, disrupted the Telegram Wallet and some of the leading exchanges due to a huge amount of traffic.

Another long-awaited airdrop was that of the Hamster Combat token. After months of delay, the team behind the Telegram mini-game announced the tokens will be distributed on Sept. 26.

With respect to airdrops, Buterin says that part of their appeal is the idea of offering discounted token sales as an alternative to traditional airdrops. In this model, community members could purchase tokens at reduced rates based on their level of contribution or verified membership, a key tool used by many airdrops.

In response, Capilnean emphasized that Sybil attacks can severely undermine a project’s goals, which can target airdrops. In March 2023, a Sybil attack was used to target the Arbitrum airdrop. Such attacks lead to the misallocation of resources and can harm the project’s reputation and the value of its tokens. 

To mitigate these risks, Capilnean supported Buterin’s view that blockchain-based identity frameworks could be instrumental. 

“By refining these systems, blockchain-based identity solutions can be used to effectively prevent bad actors from gaining an advantage.”

Titus Capilnean, Vice President of Go-To-Market at Civic, talking on blockchain-based identity platforms.

Projects could ensure that token distributions are targeted and secure if they implement this practice, reducing the likelihood of exploitation. In turn, these airdrops could serve as testing grounds for these frameworks.

Despite the advantages, Capilnean cautions that integrating identity solutions into airdrop processes could add some complexity. Projects, especially in their early stages, may struggle with the technical challenges of effectively deploying these systems. 

“By leveraging those frameworks, we can transform airdrops from a risky venture to its original purpose- a strategic tool for community-building and project growth.”

Titus Capilnean, Vice President of Go-To-Market at Civic, added.

Nonetheless, the industry expert remains hopeful that blockchain-based identity systems can turn airdrops from a risky endeavor into a valuable tool for fostering community growth.
