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: eleven tracked games, and not one confirmed living — five shut down, one sunset, one paused, four gone quiet. This is…
Ethereum mainnet is where blockchain gaming’s oldest assets still live — and almost nobody builds games there anymore. Our twelve 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…
Avalanche is the quietest major chain in the registry — no hype cycle, and five of seven tracked games still living. That is not magic. Four of the five 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…
Arbitrum is the mirror image of Avalanche in our registry: four tracked games, and not one confirmed thriving. A dead chain operator, a quiet unicorn, and two orphans of the Treasure DAO collapse — this is what a gaming chain looks like when the games leave, not when they arrive. The cluster at a glance…
WAX (Worldwide Asset eXchange) is the chain that made “free NFT games” real before it was a slogan: a custodial Cloud Wallet with no seed phrase at signup, gas-free transactions, and game studios that shipped to mainstream audiences. Two of the five tracked WAX games are verified active — the other three are running but…
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 seven flagship cases below split almost perfectly by ambition level — four living, three dead or paused — which is exactly why the cluster is worth a guide….
Polkadot’s story in NFT gaming is really one publisher’s story: Mythical Games runs its own Polkadot-based network (Mythos), and every Polkadot game in our registry is either a Mythical title or a Mythical ecosystem neighbor. That makes the chain easy to summarize — and gives it the sharpest alive/dead split we track: two of the…
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 fourteen records we can’t call either way. Six of twenty-four have a documented ending, still the lowest confirmed share of…
Immutable is the infrastructure layer behind Gods Unchained, Illuvium and a long tail of Web3 games — and in 2026 it finally became one thing: the old Immutable X was retired and everything now lives on a single zkEVM chain. Here’s what that means at player level. What Immutable is A games-focused Ethereum Layer-2 network…
Ronin is the blockchain built for games — home of Axie Infinity, Pixels, and the infrastructure that ties them together. If you’re entering any Ronin title, this is the shared layer explained once: the wallet, the market, and what changed in 2026. What Ronin is, at player level Ronin is an Ethereum-compatible network developed by…
