Metaversal is a Bankless newsletter for weekly level-ups on NFTs, virtual worlds, & digital collectibles


Dear Bankless Nation, 

My read of the week? “The Future of On-Chain Gaming” by Volt Capital’s Alec Chen. 

It’s a short and insightful read about how on-chain multiplayer gaming, while nascent, is on the verge of working at scale.

I totally agree! With infra improving quickly and gas fees trending toward zero, I think it’s only a matter of time until we start seeing the first complex on-chain gaming blockbusters.  

Those titles may still be years away, sure. Yet the seeds for them are being sown today, so keep your eyes peeled on the on-chain gaming scene accordingly. For now, let’s get you caught up on the past week in NFTs — have a great weekend everyone ✌️
