Your approach to isolating in-game economies from the blockchain through markets is both practical and necessary. The challenges of in-game accounting, duplication exploits, and database inconsistencies make it clear why a reliable intermediary like Open Transactions is crucial. Your experience with enterprise financial systems adds weight to the argument that in-game balances can’t always be trusted on their own.

With blockchain gaming, the balance between on-chain transparency and off-chain flexibility is key. At Sachi, we’re exploring ways to make Web3 gaming more seamless, particularly through wallet-less onboarding and skill-based PvP mechanics that reward players fairly without relying on inflationary tokenomics. There's potential synergy here—especially in creating trustless, verifiable asset markets that protect players while keeping games engaging.

Your work on self-hosted Open Transactions servers is impressive. Given the risks of centralized hosting, running infrastructure on known, trusted hardware is a strong security measure. Would love to hear your thoughts on how this model could scale while maintaining the integrity and security of in-game assets.
