Onchain Games Shipping

Fully on-chain games crossed the playability threshold. Not just crypto natives tolerating jank but actual gamers enjoying themselves. The infrastructure caught up.

Session keys eliminated transaction spam. Play for hours with one signature at the start. The flow approaches traditional games. No wallet popups interrupting combat.

L3s dedicated to single games handle the throughput. Millions of state updates without congestion. Custom gas tokens that make sense in the game economy. Purpose-built infrastructure.

The game design innovations are what excite me most. Mechanics only possible with blockchain. True ownership that changes player behavior. Permissionless mods and extensions. Economies no studio controls.

Autonomous worlds keep expanding. Games that run forever without developers. Player-driven everything. The ultimate live service model where the service doesn't depend on a company surviving.

The dopamine loops work. The economies are interesting. And everything happens on-chain. The future actually arrived for this category.
