The Rise of Fully On-Chain Games on the BNB Smart Chain
The Rise of Fully On-Chain Games on the BNB Smart Chain
According to recent reports, the number of global gamers has exceeded 3.3 billion, with only 1 million daily active users (DAU) in Web3 games. However, the rise of Fully On-Chain (FoC) games on the BNB Smart Chain may bring about an exciting shift. FoC games offer an open economic model, player-driven environments, and digital gaming assets that link to the Web3 ecosystem. These games also provide censorship resistance through blockchain technology. Despite challenges such as technical issues, transparency limitations, botting concerns, and scalability problems, BNB Smart Chain integrates various blockchain aspects to create a comprehensive gaming environment that enhances user and community engagement.
As 2023 wraps up, global gamers exceed 3.3 billion, yet Web3 games only draw 1 million DAU. The rise of Fully On-Chain (FoC) games may bring about an exciting shift. Let's dive into the core aspects of FoC games! 馃У [1/7] buff.ly/3GlEAYT

馃 AI agents get verifiable identities
**BNB Chain introduces ERC-8004**, a new standard that gives AI agents persistent, verifiable on-chain identities. **The core problem:** AI tools frequently reset, lose context, and behave inconsistently - not because of AI limitations, but due to lack of persistent identity. **What ERC-8004 enables:** - Verifiable digital identities for autonomous agents - Behavior tracking and verification instead of guesswork - Reputation and history that persists across the entire ecosystem - Low-cost, high-frequency interactions leveraging BNB Chain's infrastructure This standard lays groundwork for a decentralized agent economy where AI can interact and transact autonomously with verified credentials.
