Notes 2.0 for Web3 gaming teams picking a chain.
Whether it’s a hardcore or casual game, onboarding Web2 players should be one of the end goals. It’s what exchanges and VCs value the most right now.
But the reality is, Web2 users neither know nor care what chain your game is on, or what tech it's built with. Most chains today already offer solid onboarding infrastructure and partners like payment channels/wallets to seamless in-game onchain interactions.
So what really matters when choosing a chain in this market?
1. Financial support (Grants/Investment)
When gaming sentiment is down, surviving the market becomes priority #1.
Game dev and UA are expensive, we’ve seen solid teams give up because they simply ran out of funds.
Chains that offer meaningful grants/investment IF your game fits their taste:
@arbitrum@Mantle_Official@avax
Do notice for meaningful financial support, I don’t mean ones with crazy unlock terms or unrealistic milestones...
2. Community (Web3 native)
Web3 players still matter, esp when it comes to early adoption and word of mouth growth.
A chain with an active, organic, and loyal Web3 community = free marketing + solid user acquisition.
Web3 players also help educate and onboard Web2 players.
@Ronin_Network is the one of the best candidates here without a doubt.
3. FDV
The higher the FDV of your chain, the more upside potential your game might have.
Chains with high market cap MUST for a reason, and it directly affects liquidity, MM interest, and overall token performance.
My picks in top 50 market cap:
@avax (13), @SuiNetwork (15), @Mantle_Official (37)
BNB and SOL are great, but not really focused on Web3 gaming.
4. Narrative
Attention is everything in Web3. When a trendy narrative emerges on a chain, deploying your game there and leveraging their marketing resources can significantly enhance your game's visibility.
E.g.
- @arbitrum will be making waves with their Anime campaign this year (Alpha!). Whether it's game or IP, you should reach out to Arb when it comes to Anime.
- The core gaming community has been buzzing about the @avax ever since it secured two major titles, OTG and MapleStory
5. Exclusivity
Most chains will ask for exclusivity (token contract, in game mechanism, game launch) if you are looking for deep marketing/fundraising support.
So every team should make the decision very carefully. Sometime it looks bad for both when the team move from one chain to another.
@Mantle_Official might be one of the few not too strict here, love what @0xGeezee put in his profile:
"Before we compete for market share, we must first build a market worth sharing."
6. Others
- Pre TGE chains always have the hype, attention, and potential, but also risk. They might not be the safest choice for many reasons. You don’t know how their token or ecosystem will perform in the long run.
- Just because your game is on an exchange backed chain doesn’t mean you’ll get a listing.
- Connect the right people. Never fully trust intermediaries selling “connections.”
Talk to the games that actually build on these chains.
Kinda crazy how many solid teams still get wrecked post TGE just because of the wrong market maker/TGE strategry. They have zero clue how secondary trading or market making actually works.
Thought it might good to drop a few notes for teams still building in this market 👊
1. CEXs Listings
A lot of teams still think that getting listed is the end goal. That might work in the past, but the listing effect has weakened significantly.
Unless you are an internal favorite, listings won’t magically pump your token.
Most CEXs today care primarily about one thing: new user acquisition.
Web2 users matter.
(Except maybe Upbit which often aligned with KR regulatory trends.)
Except project's own communities and connections, most post TGE buy pressure doesn't even come from organic retail anymore. It comes from:
- Private deal communities affiliated with exchanges
- MM's referral networks.
Yet most teams don’t secure these relationships ahead of time.
For many cases, launching on Tier 1.5/2 CEXs on day 1, and then going for KR/NA CEXs often performs way better than starting with a Tier 1 listing right away.
DEX/HL can also be smart options for day 1.
2. Active MM vs Passive MM
Most teams only know the big branded MMs which are usually passive. Here’s how they work:
- Borrow your tokens and provide liquidity, which is a method that only requires low entry level of skills but done by most of the big brand market makers. This creates a counterparty situation between the projects and the MM.
- Dump them high at launch
- Buy back at ATL right before token return deadline
All under NDA, you can’t prove a thing even if they tank your token. They're top of the food chain for a reason.
Active MMs:
- No token borrowing
- They use your API access to trade. Some are long-term deals for better token performance.
- They make money only if your token trades well
- No conflict of interest, more like an in house trader squad
Most don’t do branding or paid PR. They stay lowkey and work via referrals.
Not all active MMs are great either. Recently Binance took action against some MMs tied to poorly performing listings. Welp... if an active MM is dumping, the project team had to know what was going on. Just a convenient excuse to accumulate or cash out.
So yeah.. For projects, do your homework and chose wisely with the Active + passtive MMs. Learn the basics of trading and token dynamics before listing. Being a good builder isn’t enough, you need to be a smart trader too.
For community members, support teams that not only have good heart, but also know what they’re doing.
🍒Happy to share a new update!✨
I would like to thank everyone for support me always.
So far, I have been working hard to grow @searchfi_eth Web3 community in Korea and enhance interoperability with global users, projects, and KOLs. Until now, I have helped international projects to secure local KOL, partnerships, AMAs, online and offline events, and smooth onboarding into the Korean community. 🇰🇷
Now, I’ll be moving to the next phase–bridge with the Global Web3 ecosystem beyond Korea.
This year, I’m eager to embark on this journey to run with an amazing industry pioneer team who have made a name for themselves and proven expertise in Web3 in their own region. 🌍

To All L3E7 Players,
Hello everyone, I’m Yeo, the founder of L3E7.
First, I want to sincerely thank each and every one of you for being a part of the L3E7 journey. Whether you've supported us from the beginning or joined during this test, your participation and feedback mean the world to us. 🙏
The Challenges of Web3 Gaming
Building a Web3 game has proven to be much more challenging than we initially expected. Over the last two years, the Web3 gaming market has experienced many ups and downs, with numerous projects disappearing even before launch. Capital has withdrawn, the market has cooled, and player confidence has waned. At times, it feels like this industry is no longer viewed as promising.
However, despite these challenges, we continue to push forward—not because we’re not exhausted, but because we firmly believe that Web3 gaming should offer more than just a temporary trend. It should provide truly engaging and immersive experiences that players want to invest their time in. 🎮
The Challenges We Face
· Optimization Struggles
We want L3E7 to run smoothly on all devices, especially mobile. This requires significant optimization, but we continue to face issues such as frame rate drops and overheating.
· Complex Map System Iteration
Building an immersive world goes beyond improving graphics—it involves a complete overhaul of the game’s underlying logic, a process that requires extreme care.
· Character Progression Adjustments
We aim to make progression more engaging while balancing PvE and leveling curves to accommodate different player types. This is a complex and delicate task.
· Reward Distribution Dilemmas
We recognize concerns about rewards. With a fixed reward pool, we constantly refine our distribution strategy to make it as fair as possible, but every adjustment brings new challenges.
· Market Uncertainty
We are continuously adapting to industry changes, external skepticism, and even FUD. Despite this, we remain committed to building a Web3 game that stands the test of time.
Our Vision for the Future
We strongly believe in the potential of the gaming sector. The success of games like Pokémon GO and Niantic has reinforced our belief that LBS (Location-Based Services) gaming remains an untapped market with the potential to reach millions of Web2 players.
For the past eight years, the LBS gaming sector has been dormant, but we believe its resurgence is inevitable. With the right market opportunity, a strong foundation, and a supportive community, L3E7 has the potential to become a major title in this space.
What’s Next?
L3E7’s journey is just beginning. Give us a little more time, and we will refine L3E7 into something even better.
1. Exciting Mobile Test Ahead!
2. Major Upgrades to the Map System—enhancing visuals and exploration.
3. Refining Gameplay to provide a smoother, deeper, and more complete experience.
L3E7’s journey is far from over. We haven’t given up, and we hope you’ll continue to stand by us as we grow. 🧡
Once again, thank you all for your support!
