🎮 Which Gaming Blockchains Are Winning? There has been consolidation among the many blockchain ecosystems launched in the past few years. Here, we’ll examine who’s likely to survive further consolidation and establish a base to build a web3 business upon. Though web3 gaming has clearly underperformed, the heavy financial backing in the space provides a reason to still pay attention. Immutable Continues Consolidating Like many early Ethereum-based games, Gods Unchained outgrew what the chain could support and motivated Immutable to create a new layer-2 network to support it, Immutable X (IMX). One of the important distinctions of this new network was using an early version of ZK (Zero-Knowledge) technology from StarkWare that reduced the amount of game data needing to be verified by the blockchain. This let Immutable set up a system where games could operate without paying gas fees, but at the cost of not being able to use smart contracts with its lack of EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) support. Both gas costs and EVM support have been key considerations in bringing games to the blockchains.

New NFT options are changing Blockchain gaming. Most of the big names in Blockchain gaming use the basic ERC-721 or, to a lesser extent, ERC-1155s. But now, two new protocols are opening new options for NFTs: The 6551 and the 721B. The ERC-6551 is a new standard that builds on the first ERC-721 by introducing smart contract capabilities to NFTs. This means that ERC-6551 tokens can hold other assets (like in-game content) that interact with other dApps, and can serve as an on-chain identity. However, the ERC-721B token standard is a new, advanced version of the ERC-721 and offers a number of improvements over the original, including more gas-efficient batch transfers of in-game items as well as storing dynamic metadata such as current stats or abilities. These improvements make ERC-721B more player-friendly in terms of cost. So which is right for your game? If you need your NFTs to have smart contract capabilities, then ERC-6551 is the better choice. However, if you don't need these capabilities, then ERC-721B is a simpler and more gas-efficient option. #NFTs #ERC721B #ERC6551 #Gaming #Blockchain #DeFi #Web3 #Metaverse #NFTGaming #NFTDevelopment #erc

In the ever-evolving world of #gaming, #blockchain games need to transcend their niche and rise to compete not only within #web3 but also outside of it. Blockchain gaming #investments surged by 31% in Q1 2023, reaching a staggering $973 million, according to DappRadar! The #revolution pivots on the notion of true #digital ownership. In traditional #web2 gaming ecosystems, the assets you earn or purchase are under the game #developer's control. By contrast, in web3 gaming players truly own, sell, or trade their assets across various #platforms, breaking free from the confines of a single game's ecosystem. Driving this change are #SmartContracts—more than mere lines of #code. These self-executing contracts ensure game #mechanics operate transparently and precisely as intended. By encapsulating the terms of agreements within their code, they introduce an indispensable layer of trust and security to the gaming realm. While the prospects of #blockchain gaming are immense, the journey isn't without its hurdles. Here's a snapshot of the challenges faced: 🧩 #Crypto Complexity Newcomers often grapple with setting up wallets and understanding the myriad of #cryptocurrencies available 🚦 Network Congestion Popular blockchains can experience congestion, affecting the gaming experience ⚙️ Interoperability Issues With games dispersed over different blockchains, transferring #assets seamlessly remains a challenge But as challenges arise, so do solutions. The gaming industry is abuzz with advancements like L2 advancements in blockchain gaming, reducing congestion and fees, ensuring a smoother experience for a wider audience. Account Abstraction has also created a major shift, moving from Externally-Owned Accounts (EOA) to Smart Contract Accounts (SCA), streamlining player onboarding with in-game wallets. Features like bundled transactions and social logins can greatly enhance the player experience. The trajectory is clear: blockchain gaming is reshaping the digital playfield, and its potential is only just unfolding. Read all about it in our blog post below! https://bit.ly/45mWCV7
