Back to collectionA Midyear Lull, and a New Question: Could Games Bring People Onchain?
Background: At the start of July, the studio is still weighing game development against stalled chain-side work and bear-market pressure. Today: BTC is moving sideways around USD 34,000, and ETH is at 2,200, as the bull market seems to have entered a dead stretch in the middle. Impact and next steps: The discussion shifts from “what can the chain do?”

Background: At the start of July, the studio is still weighing game development against stalled chain-side work and bear-market pressure. BTC is moving sideways around USD 34,000, and ETH is at 2,200; the bull market feels like a dead stretch in the middle. Meanwhile, stories are circulating about players in the Philippines supporting their families by earning through Axie. The question becomes whether games can make ordinary people want to approach the chain.
Today: BTC is moving sideways around USD 34,000, and ETH is at 2,200, as the bull market seems to have entered a dead stretch in the middle. Yet another current is rising in blockchain gaming: stories of players in the Philippines supporting their families through Axie earnings are spreading widely. The studio senses a possibility in them: perhaps games are the door that can bring ordinary people onchain.
Impact and next steps: The discussion shifts from “what can the chain do?” to “why would players come?” The product now appears capable of connecting ordinary people with the chain, but this is still the team’s judgment, not a proven conclusion. Next, they must see whether the game experience can stand on its own and what reason players have to stay beyond earning stories.
