Over the past 12 months, the application of blockchain technology in video games has been a recurring topic of discussion. As such, our team decided to rank the best gaming blockchains of 2022.
5. BNB Smart Chain (Binance): Citizen Conflict
Binance, popular in Asia, has turned its attention toward gaming. The recent launch of the Binance NFT platform comes as no surprise.
Much of BNB Chain's success lies within GameFi. According to Binance data, GameFi on BNB Chain accounts for 36.6% of all blockchain-based games.
However impressive their GameFi statistics may be, Binance still has much work to do if it wants to influence Western gaming culture.
4. Arbitrum: The Beacon
Layer-2 rollup Arbitrum has been on an upward trajectory over the past year. Much of this success can be attributed to Treasure DAO, a leading decentralized gaming ecosystem.
Arbitrum is trusted by many gamers, developers, and Web3 enthusiasts. Due to its organic growth, it will become a significant player in 2023.
3. Solana: Star Atlas
Solana believes in gaming, but more importantly, Solana needs gaming. This Layer-1 blockchain is searching for a spark to cement itself as a blockchain capable of hosting immersive game worlds.
Solana hosts exciting game projects, and the Solana Ventures team has supported numerous gaming initiatives.
But they must do more in 2023—Solana needs a breakthrough in certain areas, and that area could very well be gaming.
2. Immutable: Illuvium
Immutable is a household name in Web3 gaming blockchains. Immutable brought GameStop into the NFT world, enabling GameStop to develop a full Web3 strategy and product line for its GameStop NFT business.
The platform’s user experience is an area we hope to see significant improvement next year, but as a blockchain, Immutable is positioned quite well.
1. Polygon: Deadrop
Polygon has reason to celebrate, having secured strong strategic partnerships in 2022. Their success began with hiring Ryan Wyatt (Fwiz), former head of gaming at YouTube, as CEO of Polygon Studios, who then orchestrated collaborations with many major brands.
Several grants and partnerships have made Polygon a key player in Web3 gaming.
However, they still lack a truly breakout hit game. Deadrop might be that blockbuster—but only time will tell.
