We (Delphi Digital) just attended two major crypto-related conferences in Asia—Korea Blockchain Week and Token 2049. We would like to take this opportunity to highlight some of the most promising blockchain gaming projects in the region that we are focusing on. Here are 7 ecosystems to look forward to:
1. Ronin Network
Based on wallet activity, Ronin is one of the most active Web3 gaming ecosystems. The ecosystem is rapidly transforming into one of the few gaming ecosystems that require an active user base of 1,000 real fans for independent games.
2. Astar Network
Astar is a "go-to-market chain" that bridges the gap between the Japanese and international markets. It is also one of the largest parachains on Polkadot, with notable corporate clients such as SoftBank, Dentsu, Microsoft Japan, and Amazon Japan.
3. Oasys
Oasys is a scalable, gas-free gaming infrastructure partner that collaborates with some giants in the gaming industry. The ecosystem has established many notable gaming-related partnerships, including SEGA, Bandai Namco Research, Ubisoft, Square Enix, and Netmarble.
4. Iskra
Iskra distributes value and attention to various stakeholders on the platform through the following incentive mechanisms:
- Platform rewards (dividends);
- Task rewards (token vouchers);
- Service benefits (eligibility);
- Event benefits (accessibility).
5. XPLA
XPLA adopts a Web2.5 approach, focusing on gradually transitioning Web2 businesses/games to Web3 by linking off-chain content located at its application layer with many Web3 features.
6. MARBLEX
MARBLEX continues to showcase its focus on Web3 initiatives (with two new games integrated with gMBXL launching in the short term). They feature seasonal staking programs to promote collaborative behavior among developers, investors, and player user types.
7. Intella X
The company is experimenting with an interesting "proof of contribution" service protocol that measures a combination of on-chain and off-chain data. Developers and users then receive token rewards based on these metrics.
The number of well-funded blockchain games that are opening up to the public and providing playable versions is continuously increasing. 2024 may be the year when broader player sentiment shifts and attention turns back to gaming. ```
