Reality surpasses the virtual. Reality embodies inherent truth, and truth signifies an unquestionable sense of order. This order brings peace to our minds, allowing us to believe that even as time runs out and life comes to an end, reality will persist indefinitely. The virtual, on the other hand, represents inherent falsehood. Falsehood signifies an internal inconsistency of logic. Things built upon such flawed logic may have a beautiful facade, but they cannot endure. This ultimately leads to inevitable destruction.

However, the boundary between reality and virtual is often blurred. We frequently use an empiricist perspective to evaluate our surroundings: things that feel familiar and comforting are deemed real, while things that feel unfamiliar and distant are perceived as false. This kind of judgment often varies from person to person. From a logical standpoint, how can we be certain that the world we inhabit isn’t just an elaborate dream? How do we verify that the things we believe to be real aren’t merely hallucinations induced by electrical signals stimulating a brain in a vat? We become so immersed in the familiar that we often forget to question more deeply.

The reality that holds one’s attention is the reality that is meaningful to them, and this meaningful reality causes a shift in their sense of self. When you sit in front of an electronic device, engaging with it, and open a game you love, guiding your character through its dazzling world of adventures, you become so focused that you lose track of time. In that state of flow, the character in the game is the meaningful version of you, and the game world becomes the reality that holds significance for you. Your body becomes a mere vessel, detached from that reality—simply a necessary condition to sustain your mental activities, needing only to continue existing.

The phenomenon of subjective displacement makes it possible for us to construct new realities. We advocate for “Onchain Reality Maximalism” because we believe that the inherent decentralization and immutability of blockchain technology provide a strong foundation for building these new realities. The large-scale decentralized applications we are constructing serve as expansive containers with the capacity to support a growing number of participants. The worlds defined by smart contracts are not just aesthetically curated theme parks for temporary amusement; they can transcend mere entertainment by creating environments where individuals must take responsibility for their actions and bear the consequences of those actions. From this perspective, I believe many people do not take the large decentralized applications we are building as seriously as they should. Many view onchain worlds as a mere supplement to the existing world, something that is optional or secondary. This casual attitude weakens the internal credibility of these applications, making it difficult to convince future residents of the onchain world to engage in constructive activities that yield long-term, stable value.

Developing large-scale applications is a crucial step in our journey toward “Onchain Reality.” Games represent a significant subset of large-scale applications, and there are many voices around us that resist the idea of gaming. This resistance reflects an underlying anxiety, which is not entirely unfounded. The sub-reality shaped by the familiar Web2 games has demonstrated significant allure. However, at the same time, this sub-reality is strongly controlled by centralized entities, and the foundations upon which it is built are unreliable, making it susceptible to collapse at any time. However, with fully onchain games, there is no preordained doom written into their fate. Based on this, we can attempt to construct a reality even more authentic and imaginative than the physical world we inhabit—one that is wilder, more romantic, and more beautiful.

Our bodies exist on Earth, requiring daily sustenance, health maintenance, social interaction to stave off loneliness, and the sale of labor to earn money. These necessities consume a vast amount of our time and energy. We may try to assign positive meaning to these tasks in order to deceive ourselves, but this is often nothing more than a reluctant compromise. We are born into this chaotic stage of life, seemingly making choices, though in reality, we are merely selecting between a series of unsatisfactory options, guided by luck and intuition, unaware of the consequences. As science and technology advance, as material resources become more abundant, human lifespans increase, and AI takes over more foundational tasks, “Onchain Reality Maximalism” offers a path to resolve the spiritual crises faced by humanity.

We believe that “Onchain Reality Maximalism” is not merely a new trend in crypto culture but an evolution of civilization itself. In this new reality, everyone can become their own master, breaking free from imposed, meaningless choices to build a future that belongs to themselves and to all of humanity. Here, there is no centralized control, no irreversible collapse, only a world that continuously evolves through consensus and action. In the world of onchain reality, we are no longer passive recipients of external orders, but active creators of a freer, more romantic, and more hopeful future. This future may turn out to be more real than what we once believed to be “reality.”
