The studio was still making its game, and tighter funding meant every technical idea needed a clear account of its cost. A-Zhen, one of its early engineers, had heard colleagues discuss whether card interactions might someday be less burdened by existing on-chain operations.
A-Zhen gave an internal talk titled “What Is a Rollup?” to a packed meeting room. She explained how transactions are bundled and what users might ultimately notice. When someone asked whether this meant an immediate overhaul of the game, she urged the room to distinguish the underlying idea, a feasible experiment, and an actual engineering commitment.
The talk gave production and engineering staff a shared vocabulary. The vague notion of “building a chain” became a set of questions they could examine one by one. A-Zhen planned to collect specific pain points in card interactions for later assessment; no technical path or development schedule had been approved.
