(Cointelegraph) Could baby blockchains shake things up for gaming? SA World CEO thinks so

By Ciaran Lyons

Gaming ecosystem SA World has made the jump from Polygon and BNB Smart Chain (BNB) to layer-1 blockchain Injective to cut the cost of fees and make it easier for players to swap assets across games.

SA World CEO Du Le says that game builders shouldn’t be afraid to explore beyond the blockchain giants and take a gamble on smaller blockchains as long as it fits with the business goals.

“Though Polygon and Binance Smart Chain have their merits and have had a longer history, it is essential for Web3 game developers to explore alternative options to achieve their gaming objectives fully,” Le tells Web3 Gamer.

Polygon and BNB launched back in 2017, about a year before Injective Blockchain. While they might be more well-known, Injective’s name is growing as a reliable open, interoperable layer-1 blockchain that can link up with other networks like Ethereum, Solana and Polygon.

Le explains this allows players to “seamlessly exchange NFTs between games and power upgrades within SA World’s RPG mobile game across leading ecosystems, enhancing the overall gaming experience.”

He adds that it is especially a priority for the ecosystem’s flagship RPG game, Summoners Arena.

If you’re a talented designer keen on Web3 gaming, maybe you should shoot Le a message about a job. He thinks there’s a shortage of talent like yours in the industry right now.

“We’re facing a shortage of long-term gaming innovators who can deliver comprehensive, holistic products,” he says.

“Games require designers who have the capacity to dive deeper, meticulously attending to detail and crafting truly immersive experiences,” he explains.
