Background: As an early engineer at the studio, A-Zhen is assessing blockchain environments for the card prototype. Today: A-Zhen tested a new public chain. Impact and next steps: This assessment broadened the selection criteria beyond throughput to whether an ecosystem could support a game.

Background: As an early engineer at the studio, A-Zhen is assessing blockchain environments for the card prototype. The team’s earlier testnet gas bill had already shown that infrastructure choices affect both budget and experience. She needs to weigh performance figures against the practical ecosystem around them.
Today: A-Zhen tested a new public chain. Its TPS looked impressive, but the surrounding ecosystem was sparse. She noted the speed advantage and checked the development tools, available services, and conditions for integrating a game. Even with an attractive figure, the lack of support that could help the project launch led her to reject the chain.
Impact and next steps: This assessment broadened the selection criteria beyond throughput to whether an ecosystem could support a game. The team will not pursue this chain for now and still needs to find an environment with a better balance of performance, tools, and support; the final choice remains open.
