TBW》How does blockchain games break traditional limitations? These three points will be the key to success!

"Encryption City" attended a themed speech event titled "Gaming as the Gateway: How Blockchain Games Can Lead Web3 Adoption" at the TBW venue this afternoon (12/14), where multiple gaming and blockchain industry professionals gathered to share their insights. The guests included Dmitry Chirun, CTO of Chateau Capital (moderator), Alex Lim, Gaming & Non-Fungible Token Head of LayerZero, Dominic Jang, COO and Vice President of Nexpace Limited, and David Mak, CEO of Catizen under Pluto Studio Limited. The discussion focused on how Web3 games can use Cross-Chain Interaction technology, Token economic models, and community cooperation to promote public recognition and adoption of blockchain games."

Gaming as the gateway: How Blockchain Games Can Lead Web3 Adoption

The dual challenge of blockchain and game design

According to Alex Lim's observations, blockchain games often face two major challenges in the early stages of promotion: 'complexity' and 'compliance'. Many traditional gamers are relatively unfamiliar with concepts such as on-chain wallets and TokenCross-Chain Interaction transfers. Once the process becomes cumbersome or has potential legal risks, it can discourage new users. LayerZero is committed to providing Cross-Chain Interaction information transmission and Non-fungible Token circulation solutions, allowing players to focus on the game itself without worrying about the underlying Cross-Chain Interaction mechanism. Alex stated that only by reducing technical barriers and considering compliance can the advantages of blockchain be truly realized, and more players will be willing to experience 'digital ownership' in games.

On the other hand, Dominic Jang of Nexpace Limited revealed that the company is integrating years of experience in game development and operation into the concept of blockchain. He mentioned that they are currently developing a gaming ecosystem that combines Token, Non-fungible Token, and long-term operation models, hoping to cater to different types of players on the same platform. For example, gamers can deeply experience gameplay and skill accumulation; players who prefer trading can trade equipment and characters; while others may simply want to watch live streams or participate in the community. Through diverse application scenarios, they hope to develop a more sustainable blockchain gaming business model.

Balancing Decentralized Community and Game Releases

David Mak's Pluto Studio focuses on lowering the barrier for players to enter Web3 games. The company has attracted hundreds of thousands of users in less than a year, and David attributes this success to the 'product itself having sufficient appeal'. They have also created the concept of 'Game Center', intertwining different game categories and user bases, allowing players to not be confined to a single game, and making it easier to understand mechanisms such as blockchain wallets and Token circulation. He also emphasizes that after several months of iteration, they found that the user experience absolutely cannot rely on players 'exploring on their own'; in order to expand adoption, the operation process must be shortened and friendly novice guidance provided, allowing game players who are not familiar with blockchain to quickly get started.

As for how to further attract more 'non-encryption players,' David said that it is important to collaborate across different brands, IPs, or other blockchain projects. For example, through collaborations with traditional entertainment companies, virtual idols, or e-commerce platforms, people who have never touched Web3 can naturally transition to the blockchain gaming ecosystem through physical events or familiar game modes. The official will also distribute Token or Non-fungible Token rewards based on activity and contributions, encouraging players to participate in more games and activities.

Next Stage Outlook: Compliance, Infrastructure, and Community Momentum

For the trend of the next one to two years, Dominic pointed out that after the global blockchain regulations become clear, it is expected to drive larger scale of funds and users into the gaming market. Once the traditional financial industry starts to recognize encryption currencies and game tokens, blockchain games can thrive in a more stable policy environment. He shared that Nexpace's development focus is not only on the game itself, but also on expanding the application of games beyond trading, leasing characters, and commissioned production, providing ecological services that push players' self-worth and engagement to a new level.

Alex expects that as Cross-Chain Interaction and decentralized infrastructure mature, more AAA-grade games and top global studios will be willing to integrate Tokens and Non-fungible Tokens. This is no longer just a 'on-chain experiment', but a new business model that 'makes both gameplay and blockchain advantages win-win'. The community will also play a key role, gradually expanding from early 'blockchain enthusiasts' to 'the general public'. Only when the community generally believes that the game mechanism is fair, the income is transparent, and can truly enjoy the fun of the game, can blockchain games successfully break through.

The conclusion of the entire event is that the success of blockchain games lies not only in a single technology, but in the trinity of game quality, community building, and cross-border cooperation. In the future, as regulations become clearer, user education and infrastructure mature, the speed at which blockchain games transition from a "niche market" to a "mainstream market" will increase significantly. Through carefully crafted game mechanics and user experience, blockchain technology may be able to create a new wave of global user growth in the shortest time possible.
