Key Takeaways from the NBX

Let's unpack all the alphas from the Next Block Expo

The blockchain and cryptocurrency landscape is evolving at an unprecedented pace despite little turmoil in the overall market sentiment. As the industry matures, the focus has shifted beyond speculation and toward building real infrastructure - tools that make onboarding easier, smoother, and more seamless for new users while creating frictionless experiences between the worlds of Web2 and Web3.

At this year’s NBX conference in Warsaw, one thing became clear - on-chain gaming is on the verge of becoming the next major frontier in mainstream blockchain adoption. With mobile gaming already sitting as a dominant force in entertainment, the foundations being built today suggest that on-chain gaming could soon follow the same trajectory - offering accessible, competitive, and rewarding experiences for millions.

Building the Infrastructure for Mass Adoption

One of the biggest takeaways from NBX was how much effort is going into building the infrastructure that will onboard millions of new users into the blockchain space. The industry is shifting its priorities toward user experience, accessibility, and interoperability, ensuring that Web3 doesn’t remain an isolated niche but instead integrates seamlessly into the digital lives of everyday people.

From wallet integrations that simplify transactions and onboarding to various solutions that make overall blockchain interactions way smoother, the ecosystem is evolving to remove the barriers that have historically made onboarding difficult and creating a threshold that was too high for many people to overcome. This type of development is crucial - not just for financial applications but also for on-chain gaming, where ease of use and instant accessibility are essential and create a backbone of immersive competition.

Elympics, with its plug-and-play multiplayer gaming infrastructure, fits perfectly into this vision, and at NBX, we saw firsthand how much interest there is in competitive, on-chain gaming that doesn’t require technical expertise to enjoy.

A New Way to Think About On-Chain Gaming

Elympics drew a lot of attention at the event - not just for its vision of reshaping on-chain gaming, but for the games everyone could play. Visitors at the Elympics booth got a hands-on experience, trying out competitive multiplayer titles that demonstrated how seamless and engaging on-chain gaming can be when built correctly - and how much fun it brings when you compete with someone else for various prizes.

One of the most common reactions we heard was enthusiasm for a new approach to blockchain gaming - one that moves beyond speculation and grinding mechanics into a space where skill, competition, and real engagement define success.

People loved the idea of a game, where you can monetize your skill in a fair gameplay, seeing it as a model that rewards players for their actual gaming skills, rather than just their ability to farm resources, hidden pay-to-win mechanics, or complete repetitive tasks. Elympics is making gaming competitive, fair, and financially rewarding - all while keeping the fun at the center.

The Silent Grind Before the Breakthrough

While on-chain gaming may not yet dominate headlines, what’s happening behind the scenes tells a different story, and if you were actively networking during conferences like NBX, talking to people from the industry, you could feel it. Conversations at NBX made it clear that a major shift is coming - one that will bring millions of new players into the space.

Here’s why:

  • Infrastructure is being built right now to make blockchain gaming as easy and seamless as traditional mobile and PC gaming which was not the case a few years ago.
  • Developers are moving toward gameplay-first experiences, ensuring that games built on blockchain are as engaging as those found in mainstream gaming markets without hidden mechanics that players hate or avoid, with pay-to-win being the prime example.
  • Investors and projects see the potential - with more funding and innovation pouring into on-chain gaming than will lead to multiple successful games, some of which will dominate their respective fields and win the crowds.

The key takeaway? We are standing on the edge of a massive wave of adoption.

Players Want to Monetize Their Skills

One of the biggest questions attendees had at NBX was: 

"How can I make money playing games?" 

The interest in monetizing gaming skills was undeniable, and it confirmed what we at Elympics have known for a long time - gamers want real rewards for their time and talent, and the solution is nowhere to be found for most of them. Here the winner takes all, leaving all the others with nothing, but dreams.

Elympics is answering this problem by creating real competitive opportunities where players can earn based on their skill rather than random luck via RNG implementations or pay-to-win mechanics that destroy the entire competition. This resonated deeply with NBX attendees, many of whom were excited to try Elympics-powered games and see firsthand how new on-chain gaming ideas and models can change their gaming experience - and the views they previously had about on-chain gaming.

The Future is Closer Than It Seems

NBX 2024 made one thing clear - on-chain gaming is no longer just an idea, it’s a movement that is rapidly accelerating. The foundations are being laid, the technology is improving, and the interest is undeniable. In other words, all the ingredients for success are here, now all it takes is to assemble all the pieces and build the next iconic title that will win the hearts of millions.

With mobile gaming already being a multi-billion-dollar industry, it’s only a matter of time before on-chain gaming reaches the same level of accessibility and mass appeal. The work being done today will define the future, and Elympics is proud to be at the center of this transformation.

For those who want to experience what’s coming next, now is the time to explore on-chain gaming, and we’re more than happy to guide you through it. The infrastructure is here. The games are ready. The players are waiting. The future of gaming has arrived.
