Blockchain gaming is no doubt in it early stage of revolution, using the advent of blockchain technology. The industry has been growing significantly in recent years with lead project such as Cryptokitties to Axie Infinity. The success of these games had increase the popularity of blockchain gaming and set a huge foundation for future development. The growth of these projects is due to the fact that blockchain technology provides a secure and transparent platform for players to own, trade, and use their in-game assets. 

Yet, most of blockchain game currently building are not available fully on- chain due to a fact that scalability is still the biggest obstacles. The vast amount of metadata needed for high-quality and intricate games necessitates a significant amount of storage space.. Consequently, many games have adopted a "halfway" approach, such as Axie Infinity, where only their NFT pets are stored on the blockchain, while the majority of the gameplay still heavily relies on centralized servers. This goes against the decentralized essence of blockchain technology and could potentially harm players through server downtime or unfair adjustments from the company.

So, the question is, is a fully on-chain game possible?

To fully understand the possibility of building a fully on-chain experience game, we need to address its advantages and disadvantages regarding blockchain technology as well as market conditions.

Simply speaking, the biggest advantages of blockchain gaming over traditional games is that players have a complete control over their assets which can be trade, sold or potentially used in other games. Imaging you spent over 1000 hours playing your favorite games, become top server player with lots of rare and legend items, but suddenly the game company decided to close down the game because they have more profitable new projects, or just banned you for no reason? Wouldn’t it clear that a fully on-chain game base on unchangeable smart-contract be the answer.

Yet, it is widely recognized that scalability is a major challenge in the development of fully on-chain games. Additionally, the gaming experience can be confusing and challenging for new users who are not familiar with blockchain and transaction signing.

Although scalability is considered to be the biggest challenge in building a fully on-chain game, solutions are being developed. Projects such as IMX, Ronin, and soon-to-be Starknet are working on resolving scalability issues specific to gaming. On-chain transactions are now expected to run faster and have the capacity to handle a larger number of transactions per block, opening up the possibility for building a fully on-chain game. Moreover, the popularity of cryptocurrency has increased globally following the bull run of 2019-2021, bringing attention and exposure to blockchain technology, making it more accessible and understandable for new users. Additionally, developers and projects are now focused on creating games where every transaction within the game is seamless and almost invisible, reducing confusion for new players.

Thus, the answer is YES. A fully on-chain game is possible even though the development will faces challenges and limitations. Despite that, the potential benefits of having a fully on-chain game, such as complete player control over their assets, trustlessness and transparency, makes it an exciting prospect for the future of gaming and worth pursuing.
