In 2024, Telegram became the largest game-distribution event blockchain gaming has ever produced: tap-to-earn mini-apps that needed no download, no wallet and no crypto knowledge pulled in claimed audiences of 35, 47, 63 and 300 million players. The NFTVideoGames registry tracks four verified TON records from that wave. Eighteen months on, the measured answer is…
Blockchain gaming is eleven years old — older than most people assume, and stranger than the “Axie, then everything died” version. The NFTVideoGames registry now holds dated, evidence-backed records for 165 games whose playable dates span 2017 to this month — asset-tokenization history reaching back to 2015: the games that invented the genre’s mechanics, the…
In 2021, BNB Chain — then Binance Smart Chain — was the densest GameFi habitat ever assembled: low fees, fast blocks, and a retail audience primed by play-to-earn made it the default launchpad for a generation of NFT games. The NFTVideoGames registry now tracks 24 verified BNB records, and the chain’s 2021 cohort is the…
Does the kind of game track with whether an NFT game is still alive? Across the registry’s 348 records, the descriptive answer is yes: the living share by primary genre ranges more than two-to-one in this snapshot — MMO has the highest living share among the substantial genres (19 of 34, 56%), followed by shooter…
Ethereum mainnet is where blockchain gaming’s oldest assets still live — and almost nobody builds games there anymore. Our thirty-three tracked records split three ways: the living worlds and RPGs that kept small persistent audiences, the endings that closed on record, and the ones gone quiet. The cluster is small on purpose — Ethereum’s gas…
Polygon was blockchain gaming’s home chain in the 2021–22 wave — cheap gas, EVM compatibility, the default answer to “where do game assets live.” Its registry cluster tells the other half of that story: thirty-six tracked games, with seven confirmed living — twelve shut down, one sunset, one paused, nine gone quiet, four pivoted away,…
Solana attracted blockchain gaming’s biggest bets — AAA budgets, console ambitions, franchise licenses — and its headline records tell the most dramatic story on this site. The eight flagship cases below split almost perfectly by ambition level — five living, three dead or paused — which is exactly why the cluster is worth a guide….
BNB Chain gets less press than Solana or Ronin, but its registry cluster tells a two-sided story: a handful of casual, mobile-first games still quietly running — and a silent tail that has grown to seventeen records we can’t call either way. Eighteen of forty-one have a documented ending, still the lowest confirmed share of…

The honest entry cost: starting costs nothing, and check the wallet requirement. What Puffverse is A casual game / metaverse from Puffverse running on…
Avalanche is the quietest major chain in the registry — no hype cycle, and nine of sixteen tracked games still living. That is not magic. Four of the six arrived on Avalanche after their original platforms failed or were never born there at all — the chain is where survivors went. The counter-examples are its…
