onchain gaming is blasting off
...and all the important news around autonomous worlds & onchain gaming
Blast season is starting with several onchain games
Blast mainnet is launching on leap day tomorrow and it will be a mess. Everyone will try and maximize their profits on the new ecosystem which already has a TVL of over $2b. There will be a number of scams launching so everyone should be careful where they deploy their capital. Nevertheless here are 3 fully onchain gaming projects which are building on Blast and are ready to launch asap:
YOLO Games is one of the biggest Blast exclusive fully onchain gaming projects. As the name suggests their games are targeted at degens and will have more of a casino feeling to them. 2 days before Blast mainnet is launching they announced their impressive list of Angels.
WAR3 is a fully onchain MMO which is giving away not only all of their Blast incentives but also all of their token supply to gamers. According to the website the founder is a YC alum and players compete for territory in a free-for-all world in the game. There is not much information out but a discord you can join.
Blast Runners is another onchain game on Blast. To start off the game they will have a mint for assets which can be staked to receive a part of the Blast Gold the projects receives. There are not many details out about the game itself but they’ve been able to amass solid hype.
Pirate Nation announces their Multichain
Since Pirate Nation has outgrown every blockchain they’ve been building on, (first Polygon and now Arbitrum Nova) they’re now releasing their own chain for ultimate scalability. Thanks to their mirroring tech the Founders Pirates will still continue to live on ETH mainnet and the gameplay will continue to be gasless for players. The chain is supposed to be fast, scalable and cheap to be the perfect chain for onchain games with many players.
The migration is supposed to happen in the next few weeks and the goal is to not gatekeep the tech but make it accessible for other games too.
Influence launches their pre-release to the public
The Pre-Release of Influence is now live to the public. It’s another fully onchain game building on Starknet and I’m personally excited to try it out myself. I think it'll be one of the bigger onchain gaming launches of 2024 and hopefully a success.
Players can experience a full version of the space MMO for the first time and earn their ingame token $SWAY by participating.
Raiden wrote a detailed post about Influence and their play-to-airdrop campaign and Composable Hub wrote a piece how you can get some of the 1 billion token they set aside for playtesters.
