# The WASD Weekly: 3/15/24 By [WASD](https://paragraph.com/@wasdmedia) · 2024-03-15 --- **Author:** [**FaultProofBen**](https://twitter.com/BenGiove) Gm, and welcome to The WASD Weekly! It’s been an exciting week for us onchain gamers. Primodium v0.10 continued to grow, hitting over 1000 players. CCP (The studio behind Eve Online) announced that they’ll be building their game )Project Awakening) using MUD. MOCS launched on testnet, EIP-4844 went live, while Arbitrum and Starknet are preparing to deploy hundreds of millions to fund games in their ecosystems. As you can see, the onchain gaming ecosystem is continuing to pick up steam. Every news item below is important, but the most significant in my eyes is the release of Dencun and EIP-4844. The upgrade reduces gas costs on L2s by an order of magnitude, meaning that our onchain gaming transactions just got a lot cheaper. I can’t wait to save some money on gas, and see what new types of games this cheaper blockspace enables. Now without further ado, here’s: * A primer on the week’s news * My picks for three games to play over the weekend * A list of upcoming playtests, opportunities, and events * A recap of WASD content & mints * Some of the other best content from frens in the ecosystem And of course… …The S-tier meme of the week!!! * * * **🗞️ The TLDR:** ----------------- _The hottest news from the last week in onchain gaming and autonomous worlds._ * [![User Avatar](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/6da126f1f351eeea054caac45b44d964d1cd01d66427e52bf75c64c0f42406ba.jpg)](https://twitter.com/primodiumgame) [Primodium](https://twitter.com/primodiumgame) [@primodiumgame](https://twitter.com/primodiumgame) [![Twitter Logo](https://paragraph.com/editor/twitter/logo.png)](https://twitter.com/primodiumgame/status/1765799384413831419) v0.10 is our most played version at over 1,000 players within the last 3 days and space battles happening constantly.
