Can developments in computing help fix blockchain gaming’s quality problem? Decentralized applications (DApps), including apps for gaming, have gained traction for their transparency, security and user asset ownership. However, delivering high-quality AAA gaming experiences through DApps presents challenges. Existing 2D gaming DApps operate on blockchain networks using smart contracts for asset management.

Scalability is a primary hurdle for traditional blockchains like Ethereum, impacting real-time interactive gaming due to constraints surrounding transaction throughput and latency.
