Looks like blockchain gaming isn\u2019t completely dead after all. At least not that dead.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A report<\/a> from DappRadar revealed that some layer-2 blockchains experienced massive spikes in gaming activity during February 2025, even as the total number of daily unique active wallets declined.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Currently, two chains dominate the gaming market regarding daily unique active wallets: opBNB, a BNB Chain L2, and Aptos<\/a>, an independent layer-1 built for high-speed decentralised applications (dApps).\u00a0<\/p>\n

About 92% of this injection targeted infrastructure-related projects, which means gaming development companies remain committed to building a robust gaming ecosystem.<\/p>\n

Other chains in the ecosystem noted wild surges. For example, Abstract, an Ethereum<\/a> L2 network developed by Igloo, saw the largest boost with over 20,000% growth in daily active unique wallets, while Soneium, Sony\u2019s Ethereum-based L2, came in second with a 3,200% increase. Linea followed closely at over 1,000% growth.<\/p>\n

The game has caught players\u2019 attention because it blends animation, gaming, and AI to allow users to create more dynamic character interactions. It aims to bring mainstream audiences into the blockchain gaming world.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Moreover, Krafton\u2019s InZOI, which will be available for early access on Windows by March 28, 2025, features AI-driven NPCs that interact with players in more lifelike ways. Meanwhile, The Game Company is integrating the ASI-1 Mini AI model in partnership with Fetch.ai, enabling real-time decision-making and decentralised intelligence within its games.<\/p>\n
All in all, it seems that GameFi has had to integrate AI to allow developers to incorporate machine learning tools and, therefore, make their games a bit more attractive and user-friendly (and actually playable).<\/p>\n
