Tabi Chain is a blockchain game underlying chain built on the Cosmos ecosystem. As a new concept of blockchain game underlying, its uniqueness lies in not only achieving technological innovation, but also providing economic support for ecological games.

On the one hand, it uses the "Omni Execution Layer" scheme to allow developers to no longer worry about the differences between various VMs or runtime environments and directly use their familiar or even customizable runtime environments to develop or port games. It modularizes the features of consensus, security layer, etc., and is highly customizable.

Tabi Chain represents a new paradigm for a new generation of Blockchain gaming infrastructure and is expected to propel the Blockchain gaming space into the "2000 Moment."

The sustainability dilemma of the blockchain gaming world

The blockchain gaming industry is a highly regarded potential narrative, and we see more and more developers inclined to explore this field. The good news is that the infrastructure for blockchain games is continuously upgrading technically, and some underlying platforms specifically serving blockchain game applications have emerged, such as Immuatable X, WAX, Klaytn, Ronin, etc.

However, we see that although the further innovation of infrastructure technology has brought certain help to Blockchain games in terms of playability and user experience, there are still extremely high barriers to entry for developers, especially traditional game development teams, and some potential resistance may include the structural differences between Web3 applications and traditional software, design restrictions of smart contracts, restrictions on data storage and calling, asset integration, etc., which also makes it difficult for the Blockchain game field to be innovated at the source.

Similarly, the limitations of industry infrastructure are also a major obstacle to the development of the blockchain gaming track.

On the basis of adhering to the existing Blockchain technology solution, if all the elements of the game are embedded on the on-chain, every transaction in the game will be a transaction, and the player may need to sign a transaction for each operation, pay a gas fee, and wait for the movement log to be "finalized", which will also cause "stuttering" in the game loop. At the same time, there are certain limitations on the bearing of the blockchain itself, when the on-chain behavior load is too high, the transaction cost soars, the transaction efficiency plummets and has a direct impact on the game. For example inscription not long ago, the market exploded very long on-chain trading soared, and a lot of Layer 2 and EVM-compatible chain bottoms were stripped off. Therefore, at present, even if long games rely on centralized servers as the underlying stack, it is difficult for existing industry facilities to support large games with complex long interaction logic and a large user base. So as it stands, the vast majority of long Blockchain game rooms lack playability.

On the other hand, although further innovation of the underlying infrastructure has limited help for the sustainable development of blockchain games, the vast majority of blockchain games still find it difficult to escape the curse of death spiral. In fact, most of the infrastructure solutions for blockchain games often expect to solve problems through technological upgrades and innovations or simply from a technical perspective, bringing better performance and user experience support to their ecological games, but they basically ignore the support for the application of games in the ecosystem at the economic level. So from the perspective of blockchain games, the community, game developers, and game chains are seriously out of touch, leading to insufficient synergy and the difficulty in fully utilizing the utility of tokens.

Therefore, when the game itself lacks attractiveness in terms of gameplay and lacks a reasonable economic model, the game usually cannot survive for a long time. Developers usually have difficulty in making sustained profits except for early token sales, and players will have to withdraw from it due to the death spiral of token incentives.

We can see that with the end of the previous bull market and several black swan events, the blockchain gaming zone has also started to cool down. We can see that both the leading GameFi project Axie Infinity at that time and many gaming public chains that performed well in the previous GameFi craze have shown a bleak scene.

How Tabi Chain promotes the development of blockchain games out of the "quagmire"

Tabi Chain is a blockchain game chain built on Cosmos, and it is also the first game-specific chain in this ecosystem that is EVM compatible.

One of the technical innovations of Tabi Chain is its universal execution layer scheme, which allows each game or dApp to build its own independent Service as a separate environment for running the application. All Services will submit the blocks they generate to the consensus system of the chain, and the Supervisor Nodes in the network will verify the state. This provides a highly flexible, customizable, scalable, secure, and efficient environment for running applications.

The overall execution layer solution is based on the Polymorphism VM solution (a VM with polymorphic capabilities). Through the design of a modular execution environment, it makes the compilation of smart contracts more universal, allowing developers to write and deploy smart contracts on different virtual machines. With support for multiple programming languages and smart contract models, it can attract a wider developer community. The Polymorphism VM is highly customizable, especially for Web2 developers. They can use their familiar language and framework to port any business logic to the Polymorphism VM. For example, developers familiar with the Java language and framework can still develop on-chain based on that language and adapt and deploy through the Polymorphism VM. This universal design is significantly reducing the threshold for smart contract development. On-chain development can be like Web2 game developers using cross-platform frontend engines such as Unity, where one set of code can be slightly adapted to run on different environments such as iPhone, Android, desktop, etc.

At the same time, Tabi Chain also provides developers with a series of customized components to improve the user experience, including the choice of gas mode to reduce the high cost caused by frequent signing and other behaviors; From Wallet and Traditional ID & Password to WebAuthn's longest selectable login methods and more.

In order to achieve better on-chain scalability, Tabi Chain shards the execution layer and builds ParalleIBFT consensus, greatly improving the network throughput and transaction processing speed by implementing parallel block proposals of all service nodes in the DAG block structure. Within each service, the service nodes adopt the parallel HotStuff consensus algorithm, achieving a four-fold speed improvement compared to traditional consensus solutions.

Tabi Chain has the transparency of input, the public visibility of state transitions, and the ability to express global states, eliminating the Merkle tree structure, further improving performance by up to 100 times, achieving a single server TPS of over 100,000, making game operations smoother and more efficient. Through the IBC protocol and high interoperability with other chains in the Cosmos ecosystem, Tabi Chain can also bring a rich variety of assets to the ecological applications and is expected to quickly establish a TVL scale.

As a PoS ecosystem, the security of Tabi Chain comes from EigenLayer. Supervisor and Service nodes need to stake on EigenLayer and monitor any malicious activities, such as double-signature blocks, based on the AVS established on EigenLayer. At the same time, as a modular chain, the security of Tabi Chain also comes from Ethereum.

Tabi Chain, as a blockchain underlying infrastructure, is not only building a set of underlying infrastructures suitable for all developers, providing a highly efficient operating environment for games, and possessing a high level of security, but also has another major "weapon", which is an economic system with a dual-value flywheel effect, namely Gaming 33.

Gaming 33 : The "Fourth Industrial Revolution" of Web3 Gaming

In fact, in the traditional blockchain gaming ecosystem, the underlying chain usually does not participate in the economic system of its ecological applications. These blockchain games, which are focused on gaming, usually only focus on game releases.

The relationship between users and games is usually based on the "Earn" mechanism, establishing a "one-time" link with users, and when the incentive of a single Token declines, users lose stickiness. However, some of the fees (gas, etc.) generated by users through the game are usually only used as revenue for the chain, and will not flow to developers and users. From the developer's point of view, in order to obtain income, they can only hope to sell tokens or NFTs. The disconnect between the blockchain ecosystem, the game application itself, and the benefits and incentives between communities hinders the development of game quality, user experience, and ecosystem.

Tabi Chain's Gaming 33 is an important economic mechanism of the ecosystem, which aims to provide a set of incentives to enhance the Token without impacting the game economy through a "one-coin-three-state" mechanism built on top of the $TABI, so that the community, game developers, and the Tabi Chain chain can form a strong connection. In this system, users will continue to increase their income by participating in the selection of high-quality games, and high-quality games will become incentivized by being selected by more long users, and developers will get more long income and resource tilt, so that the ecological game system will continue to be selected for excellence, and based on this, the overall moat of the game ecology will be continuously improved.

1. "One coin, three states"

2. Vote Buying: Game Resource Battle

In 2021, Curve introduced the v2 version and further launched the voting escrow (ve) custody model. One of the main powers granted to veCRV holders is the ability to change the allocation of CRV rewards to each pool on Curve, which is also the catalyst for all projects participating in Curve War.

For some projects that build pools on Curve, they need to have enough voting power to obtain higher APY to incentivize potential LPs to capture more long market resources. Voting rights, in turn, need to continuously accumulate CRV and convert it to veCRV to obtain. After the launch of the model, more and more long DAO and DEXs, including Convex, Yearn, StakeDAO, etc., joined the "war" and attracted CRV holders by providing attractive APY, and the platform then deposited the received CRV into Curve for lock-up and collected veCRV, so as to gain voting rights, and distribute more long CRV rewards to the Mining Pool they provided Liquidity for them. Curve acquires voting rights by locking CRV to determine where the earnings go.

Tabi Chain also adopts a similar mechanism. In this system, games on the chain will compete for voting rights, attracting users to stake their $veTABI tokens in the form of $veTABI(Staked) to their favored games. The games will receive more rewards and funding from the Tabi Chain ecosystem due to the increased staked votes from users, which comes from system income such as Gas from Tabi Chain, as developer income, and can provide more rewards to users.

From the perspective of user considerations, when choosing, they usually tend to choose high-quality games that they consider to have more development potential, because this is linked to their potential incentive benefits, and users voting for them may also promote user conversion into deep participants. This will promote high-quality games to receive more votes, and in turn, the allocation of Tabi Chain resources will provide users with higher incentives, attracting more users to vote for them.

Therefore, Chain's bribery model provides a "scramble" mechanism, through which ecological games can obtain better resource allocation, incentive rights and income from Tabi Chain's governance system, and help their game ecology continue to select the best by competing for resources and forming an external value flywheel.

In this way, Tabi Chain decentralizes the choice of games and the allocation of resources to the community, rather than being determined by the chain (or its underlying foundation), while establishing a better organic connection for the community, game developers, and the underlying chain.

3. Dual Value Flywheel

Based on this trap governance system, Tabi Chain is able to establish a dual-value flywheel.

Flywheel:

With the operation of the bribery mechanism, good games can attract more users to participate in voting through substantial incentives, which will directly promote the demand for $TABI and $veTABI in the market as well as the staking demand, because more staking can bring more rewards, which will provide momentum for the continuous rise of $TABI tokens. The rise of $TABI tokens will further encourage more users to participate in staking and convert to $veTABI, while obtaining interest income from $veTABI, promoting more $TABI tokens to participate in the Tabi Chain economic system, increasing the demand for $TABI and reducing its external market circulation, and stimulating the trading volume of $TABI.

As the internal flywheel continues to rotate, it will continuously empower the value growth of $TABI.

Outer Flywheel:

As mentioned above, high-quality games can attract more users to participate in voting, obtain better resource allocation from Tabi Chain, and developers can obtain considerable income from it, and continuously improve the incentive level to continuously attract more users to vote for it and attract more developers to participate in the construction of the Tabi Chain ecosystem.

Based on this system, good game content can attract user traffic and funds from the network, and have better development opportunities. At the same time, it will continuously help the network identify which games have the potential to become popular games.

The double flywheel system will continue to improve the Tabi Chain ecological moat, and continue to build a more solid value foundation and consensus system, and ultimately promote the development of the entire Web3 game ecosystem to a new paradigm. Its new Gaming 33 solution is also known as the "fourth industrial revolution" of Web3 games.

"2000 Moments" in Blockchain Gaming

The year 2000 was an important moment in the development of the traditional Internet. In the years following 2000, the Internet infrastructure, especially broadband technology, saw significant improvement and popularization. Along with the rapid development of the Internet economy system, Internet developers were able to benefit from a completely new economic system and business models, driving the vigorous development of the Internet field, and

Laying an important foundation for its next stage of development.

In fact, Tabi Chain is also known as an important promoter of the "2000 moment" in the blockchain gaming industry.

Tabi Chain provides a more complete infrastructure for the blockchain gaming field through a series of innovative technical solutions. On the one hand, it greatly improves the performance and scalability of chain facilities, providing a running environment that matches the needs of blockchain games. At the same time, through its versatile execution layer solution and modular architecture, developers can participate in the exploration and development of the blockchain gaming field with extremely low barriers, providing an important foundation for continuously capturing fresh blood in the blockchain gaming field. Blockchain games are also expected to be comparable to traditional Web2 games in terms of gameplay and experience.

With the support of the Gaming 33 governance mechanism, high-quality developers can obtain more resources and incentives, and users will continuously receive incentives for helping to screen high-quality game applications on the network. The income at the underlying layer will continuously feed back to high-quality developers, the game ecosystem, and users, continuously driving the operation of the value wheel.

Focusing on the $TABI token itself, the overall narrative of the ecosystem is establishing its position as the top blockchain game + public chain concept asset.

On the one hand, as a concept token of the public chain, it not only represents the Tabi Chain game system, but also serves as the core token for on-chain functions and ecosystem governance of Tabi Chain. It is an important economic foundation for building a strong game infrastructure and can gain deep empowerment through the continuous circulation of external and internal value.

On the one hand, it is a conceptual asset in the gaming field, which not only runs through every game in the ecosystem, but also continues to be empowered with the development of each game. Therefore, the $TABI token itself has a high level of imagination and constantly gains value in a spiral. As a $TABI based on the combination of public chain and grand gaming narrative, it also has great imagination in terms of valuation.

With the promotion of the Tabi Chain system, the form of Blockchain games is expected to develop in a new direction, and Blockchain gamers are expected to further change their worldview, and the field is also expected to move towards the "2000 moment".
