Author: FaultProofBen Gm and welcome to the second-ever WASD Weekly! I’m sure I’ll soon sound like a broken record - But It was another exciting week in the world of onchain gaming.

Author: FaultProofBen Gm! Last Friday, I wrapped up what had been the busiest week in WASD’s short history. Over a five-day stretch, we held 🏆 The WASD Cup 🏆 our first-ever tournament in Sky Strife, and published three articles (WASD pieces now go out on Monday, Thursday, and Friday). It was a very fun (albeit long) week, and by Friday afternoon, I was ready to get some rest. But then, just as I climbed into bed to take a much needed nap, a new version of Primodium dropped.When you find out...

Author: FaultProofBen Gm! Last week, we covered some of the L2 stacks for building onchain games like World Engine, Keystone, Paima and AltLayer. We’ve also spent plenty of time discussing other ecosystems here on WASD like Starknet, and the MUD games built on various OP Stack L2s. If you are an L2 nerd (like myself) you may notice that there’s one glaring omission from this list: Arbitrum. Arbitrum is mostly known for having the largest L2 DeFi ecosystem, and a big Web 2.5 gaming (Games with...
