One of the toughest hurdles for blockchain gaming is onboarding. Most traditional gamers don’t want to set up a wallet, buy crypto, or pay gas fees just to play a game. This friction keeps Web3 gaming niche instead of mainstream.

Some projects are experimenting with wallet-less onboarding, free-to-play models, and cloud gaming to eliminate these barriers. The goal? Make blockchain games as seamless as Web2 experiences without compromising decentralization.

But is that enough? 🤔

Will blockchain gaming always be limited to crypto natives, or can it break into the mainstream?

Are there any Web3 games that truly feel as smooth and accessible as traditional games?

Could cloud-based Web3 gaming (no downloads, no wallet setup) be the breakthrough we need?

Does removing wallets and gas fees take away the essence of blockchain gaming?


I’d love to hear thoughts from builders, gamers, and Web3 enthusiasts. What’s the best path forward for mass adoption? Smiley
What's the difference between web2 games and web3 games? Can someone explain what's the problem in modern gaming and how Web3 offers a solution? If there aren't problems and Web3 doesn't offer solutions, then blockchain games won't succeed. I think that there is a communication problem like there was with Bitcoin Lighting network. I believe that blockchain technology has no value to add to games and companies that try to promote it, use blockchain as a buzzword to make it look innovative and profit from it.

I don't understand the role of web3 in gambling too but the combination of them sounds good. I enjoy playing on Metawin because I can easily deposit and withdraw money from my Web3 wallet with a single click but besides that, I don't see many benefits.
