- The next layer, Teva Stack offers an exclusive crypto gaming stack, complete with ready-to-use SDKs and APIs for multiplayer functionalities, statistics, assets, reputation, and social integration. This is all easily managed via a developer dashboard, enabling two-click deployments.
- Combined, these layers power our consumer gaming applications, providing gamers with a one-stop web3 gaming experience. Enjoy fun and fair games, trade in-game NFTs and tokens on one of the swiftest marketplace and gaming dex.
Challenges: web3 Gaming
We firmly believe that the current web3 gaming infrastructure lacks the tools, processes and support systems necessary for indie game developers to thrive. While larger gaming studios try to dominate, there remains a gap for fun & fair games that Tevaera aim’s to solve through its gaming ecosystem. Here’s a summary of the problems, that we discussed in the “challenges in web3 gaming” post.
3 key pain points:
1. Gaming Experience: Lack of fun and engaging games with complicated onboarding & user experience.
Key Question: would you play this game if it was not web3 with rewards speculation?
2. Gaming Economics: Poor economy design & unsustainable incentives are the two biggest problems with web3 game economics.
Key Question: how do we solve the problem of an unsustainable play & earn economy?
3. Gaming Infrastructure: Lack of gaming infrastructure to support on-chain, real-time and multiplayer games is a major challenge for indie game developers.
Key Question: how do we solve the problem of hooking a unity-based game to an on-chain matchmaker?
Tevaera’s Gaming Ecosystem — what’s live?
We are on a ambitious mission to build an end to end gaming ecosystem that will redefine web3 gaming. An ecosystem that is open, permissionless and offers the best tooling to launch fun & fair games on zkSync.
