Metaversal is bankless newsletter For weekly level-ups in NFTs, virtual worlds and more!

Dear country without banks

Happy Independence Day! 🗽

Since independence is the theme today, let’s talk about the focus area for games that operate independently. infinitely.

what i’m talking about autonomous world.

These on-chain environments are the next big frontier for NFT gaming, so let’s dig into the basics of Metaversal today.

In cryptocurrency, “on-chain” has two different meanings. This is the newer, looser sense of using blockchain in general. “Put the music on-chain”, for example, sound.xyz, he mints the songs as NFTs. It is the rise of colloquial expressions.

But keep in mind that you can mint tokens on Ethereum while preserving the token art and other resources. off-chainThat is, on a private server or external storage such as InterPlanetary File System (IPFS).

So the second older, more technical meaning of on-chain is that everything about NFT collections or blockchain-based projects is stored. directly Directly on the chain itself, for example on Ethereum.

On-chain storage in this way is relatively expensive compared to off-chain alternatives, but it is fairly durable and open, as on-chain projects exist as long as Ethereum exists and can be built on top of indefinitely. provide sexuality.

There is also a spectrum here. Some projects have minimal blockchain dependencies, some use a combination of off-chain + on-chain storage, and some are completely on-chain. This scope also applies to the blockchain gaming scene.

Autonomous Worlds are therefore on the “fully on-chain” side of the gaming realm. In this kind of project, game logic and state are completely on-chain. This means rules and progress are tracked in smart contracts, and all game data is on the blockchain, paving the way for interoperability. Therefore, the autonomous world also client agnosticThis means that anyone can create their own interface for interacting with the underlying game. Talk about a modder’s dream!

the autonomous world endless gameThat is, it runs independently of its creator, is open to everyone, and evolves over time. The game becomes a protocol in itself, a world of its own, and encourages users to build upon it.

So the open system + always online nature of these games is a huge boon for interoperability and a radical shift from the traditional game approach of closed systems controlled by creators. Autonomous Worlds allows players to create their own extensions on their own terms, leading to a continually evolving bottom-up ecosystem.

Additionally, games created in this fully on-chain manner could become an economic system in their own right. They can have their own currencies, markets, and economic rules, and can create new forms of economic organization that can exist alongside traditional economies. In other words, these games are not just entertainment, they represent a path to new economic and social structures in the Metaverse.

The Autonomous Worlds scene is still fairly small, but is expected to grow significantly over the next decade. Towards that end, some of the most important early work currently being done is to develop an “on-chain game engine”, i.e. one for launching or building your own autonomous worlds It’s about framework development.

for example, Few on-chain game engines Here’s what’s worth noting right now:

  • 🧝 mud — Developed by lattice team, this “multi-user dungeon” framework makes it easy to create complex on-chain apps on the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) network. You may remember it being used to create on-chain voxel games. Optimism in OPCraft last year.

  • 🔑 keystone — built by curio team, This framework is a real Optimism-based L2 chain with built-in game engine specialized for parallelizing game activities. For those who don’t know, Curio is currently building its own on-chain diplomacy game. Treatyusing this tech stack.

  • 🥷 dojo — A StarkNet-based on-chain game engine and a “toolchain” that supports the Rust and Cairo programming languages.

  • 🧿 Argus — Argus is a game publisher working on its own on-chain game creator studio stack, World Engine. World Engine is an L2 that supports sharding so that games can be built horizontally across the network.

In the December 2022 issue of Zora Zine, author and entrepreneur Yancy Strickler said: Beginning of the on-chain eraHe predicted that this would be defined as “a period during which much of the world’s creative cultural output, shared history, and information infrastructure was established, stored, and accessed on-chain.” bottom.

I fully agree with Strickler here. That said, we see the rise of the Autonomous Worlds genre as part of the blossoming of the on-chain era. Looking back 10 years later, these kinds of games would have been taken for granted, but now we’re at the very beginning of this space.That’s really exciting, if Lattice is recent Powerful Autonomous World Hackathon of 100 Projects Either way, the fun is just beginning here. Play with caution, I say.
