Background: Final Form had just released ea.0.11, and the studio was leaning toward further testing of the Arbitrum stack. The research team was moving from comparing options to spelling out what a game would actually need, more than its existing staff could comfortably cover.

Today: On Friday, BTC fell below USD 17,000. The research team expanded to five people. A-Zhen walked the newcomers through the local node and load-test results, then the group broke down the questions still to test: how players would enter a game, who would cover the fees for small actions, and whether frequent interactions could run smoothly.

Impact and next steps: Extra hands did not settle the technology choice. The group decided to match requirements against the tests already done and bring unclear points to the next discussion; A-Zhen no longer had to carry every question alone. A weaker market offered no answer about which approach suited games.
