The gaming industry is a major force behind the growth of web3 and blockchain. As GameFi gains popularity, blockchain games are struggling to handle the demand, leading to the development of game-oriented blockchains. Ethereum's early blockchain games faced inefficiencies and poor user experience, prompting the need for more scalable solutions. One of the first gaming blockchains built for scalability was WAX. Ronin, another game-focused blockchain, has seen success with its ecosystem and daily active users surpassing other blockchain networks. In addition to dedicated blockchains, Layer-2 and Layer-3 infrastructures are being explored to enhance the gaming experience. Gaming-focused L3s leverage web3 innovations, simplifying blockchain gaming for users. L2/L3 chains allow for scalability, customization, and faster innovation compared to large networks like Ethereum. Major corporations are also entering the gaming industry, with Sony Group launching the Soneium blockchain and potential future blockchains from Ubisoft, Rockstar, or Epic Games. Launching L2s and L3s is easier and requires less effort compared to L1 solutions, making it likely for new gaming-focused blockchains to emerge.
