🎮 News Roundup: Crypto Gaming Szn Decentralized games eye breakthroughs.
📚 Learn:What I'm Reading My favorite posts this week.
In writing these Friday Roundups this year, one thing that's stood out to me is the sheer amount of interesting crypto gaming advances we've seen in 2024.
Here, progress is stretching out in all directions. Gaming will become a Trojan Horse for bringing onchain experiences to the masses, and the paths forward are being paved as we speak.
Just take the current pulse of the space to see what I mean.
Abstract, the upcoming consumer crypto L2, is welcoming its first games like Onchain Heroes. Cambria, the chill Runescape-like battler, is coming to Ronin. Dojo, the Starknet gaming engine, just hosted its Demo Day featuring big updates from upcoming onchain gaming projects like Eternum.
Then there's Duper, which is innovating an entirely new game format on Arbitrum. EVE Frontier, from the creators of the hit EVE Online MMORPG, is ramping up on Redstone. And of course there's Fren Pet, which is evolving and maintaining impressive stats while Base continues to field new game launches, like Dappmon and Chains.
That's all just the tip of the iceberg too. I could go on and on. Pirate Nation continues to drop new features and is contending with major activity levels with its unique bespoke infra, Primodium is preparing to launch on mainnet, The Treeverse is starting to ramp up its Alpha launch on Immutable, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
When I hear people say nothing much excites them in crypto right now, I suspect either that 1) they're not gamers, or 2) they're just having trouble keeping up with the incredible stream of crypto gaming updates that have been flowing lately. It's truly been a deluge this year, and I'm very excited for where these new footholds will lead. Watch this space…
