On-Chain Data

Ethereum chain TVL: $48.37B [Source: DefiLlama] (as of Oct 27, 2026 06:30 JST) TVL describes the value of assets deposited on a chain. It should be distinguished from game user counts or revenue.

Take

In my view, these stories show three ways AI and Web3 could move closer to everyday use. The Sandbox is addressing how game creators sell their work; Soneium is proposing a new connection between creative works and fans; and onchain inference projects are focusing on the cost of using AI. The practical results remain open questions. The available coverage does not establish how creators will use Studio’s payment options, whether SONEIUM will be issued, or how much the inference projects will actually save users.
