They can't stop this. We've seen this trap before: wiping out the farm networks tomorrow would instantly erase 40% of Roblox's daily active user count, wreck their studio leaderboards, and crater the stock before Friday's opening bell. Once you sell Wall Street on endless growth, you can't walk back the numbers without torching your own company.
Everyone treats Roblox as a $30B gaming empire for kids. In reality, it is a giant bot farm subsidized by Wall Street.
I launched a few games on Roblox to see the traffic firsthand.
In some servers, 99 out of 100 players were bots.
I'm not exaggerating.
We all remember Twitter's bot circus before Elon bought it. But that was a shouting match between adults.
Roblox is supposed to be where our kids hang out.
Instead, when my team and I looked under the hood, whole servers were hijacked by headless scripts. In games like Blox Fruits or MM2, 70% to 90% of active accounts aren't human. They're just automated scripts pumping concurrent users and farming items for gray markets.
Platform-wide, independent analysts estimate 30% to 50% of daily traffic is automated farms.
Now look at the financials.
Roblox reports 140M daily active users and pulls in $4.9B in revenue.
Yet they bleed over $1.07B in net losses every single year.
Why?
Their biggest margin killer is server infrastructure.
Let's cut the corporate spin. Wall Street is subsidizing enterprise server racks so Python scripts can pretend to be 10-year-olds farming virtual fruit.
It's a giant on clay legs.
If Roblox keeps burning a billion a year while half the platform is code, don't be shocked when we see a forced sale in the next 18 months.
How long do you think investors keep footing the power bill for farm bots?
#gaming #gamedev #startups
513,268 combat actions stress-tested. Zero state mismatches. 20ms tick.
And 99.9% of the time, the game runs at the cost of a plain cloud database.
Here's the deal. Most Web3 studios try to shove every sword swing onto a public mainnet, then wonder why 20 players in one room nuke the frame rate.
We cut the bullshit and split the combat engine from the cash register:
1. The combat loop (Go Sidecar + SVM L2): 1,600+ actions/sec per node at ~20ms with $0 gas and zero wallet pop-ups. Over 100 players can hammer one raid boss without a single FPS drop.
2. Item provenance (Replay Verifier): 513,268 verified attacks and inventory moves with 0 errors. Packet sniffers, DB race conditions, or a shady server admin can't clone or spawn a "Blade of the Architect #142/500" out of thin air.
3. Solana L1 settlement: $15.8B in USDC/USDT liquidity wakes up only at the exact second a player sells that drop for real money via Merkle proof, with studio royalties enforced at the protocol level.
Simply put: blockchain isn't your game server. It's your forensic ledger and your global USD checkout.
For CTOs and backend leads shipping multiplayer: what's the ugliest item-duping bug you've ever had to patch in production?
#gamedev #solana #gamearchitecture
BUT here we face a dilemma:
1) If all players are added to the blockchain (without their knowledge) (when server wallets are connected) and the studio pays the gas fees for the transactions. The studio risks incurring a high bill due to an influx of players who didn’t stay long and didn’t become paying, active players - but the studio bears an additional burden in the form of gas fees on top of advertising costs.
2) On the other hand, if the game only allows active paying players onto the blockchain while keeping cheap and low - value items in its own database, we face a problem: The game itself controls and decides what is valuable and what isn’t. It controls the supply and determines who receives valuable items. This cannot be verified.
That’s why it’s so important for the first option to be available to the game and the community. But this wouldn’t place a financial burden on the studio.
Use @aethergamesSOL , and everyone will be happy.
Players come to play. Why make them learn blockchain first?
Imagine an RPG. Someone wants to explore the world and try combat. If they first need to connect a wallet, buy a token and work out the fees, they still haven't found out whether they enjoy the game.
I'd start with the path to the first interesting action. What does it take to enter a fight, earn an item and try it out? Which steps are necessary now, and which can wait?
If external trading and withdrawals aren't needed to try the game, their setup can come later. Ownership and withdrawal terms should be clear from the start.
Routine gameplay deserves the same attention.
If mining or crafting keeps sending players to a wallet, I'd rethink how those actions are authorized. Scoped session permissions can help. The system must check each action against the permission's scope and expiry.
Players need to understand what they've authorized and how to revoke it.
I'd treat item sales, withdrawals and payments separately. Those operations need clear terms and player consent: which item is being transferred, to whom, at what price and with what fees. Permission to mine mustn't quietly become permission to sell the inventory.
A cleaner interface depends on how authorization and economic rules are implemented.
That's the infrastructure work we want to simplify with Aether.
We're building a shared layer for executing and verifying economic rules, recording items and their transaction history. Through an SDK, we want to help studios connect this layer to gameplay.
The studio decides how players get started and which actions are available in a session. We want to take on the common infrastructure work so each team doesn't have to assemble that layer from scratch.
I'd look at how many players reach the first battle and how many return to play again. Wallet connections alone don't answer those questions.
Walk through your game as a new player and count the steps between launch and the first interesting action.
Real games. Deep on-chain economies. Indie budgets. Why pick two?
You can’t argue with the growth to 8,000 demos.
But it’s not just about #Opus 5.5: the barrier to creating basic scripts in #Unity and #Unreal dropped to nearly zero half a year ago, yet no model has yet learned how to keep a player engaged for even 15 minutes.
@valvesoftware will simply tighten the screws on its discovery algorithms by the next festival. This whole flood of clones will sink to the bottom with zero wishlists.
Steam залили нейрослопом. Текущий фестиваль демок стал самым большим в истории — в нём участвует более 8000 проектов. Это в два раза больше, чем на июньском фестивале.
Такой наплыв неслучаен — стоит «благодарить» релиз Claude Opus 5.5. Он гораздо лучше справляется с написанием кода для игр, чем прошлые модели.
Теперь каждая вторая игра не фестивале создана с помощью ИИ, пользователь под ником MurphyObv продемонстрировал это с помощью специального расширения.
For years, blockchain game dev had a brutal "pick two" problem:
Good Price + Good Gameplay = Great Web2 game, zero true ownership.
Good Price + Blockchain = Another weekend clicker / cash grab.
Good Gameplay + Blockchain = An absurdly expensive multi-year money pit.
We built Aether to unlock the center of the diagram.
By combining @solana L1 finality with Ephemeral Rollups (20ms tick rate + session keys), studios get real-time AAA performance and on-chain ownership without burning millions on custom infrastructure.
Stop compromising. Build all three.
We're building Aether so verifiable game economies can fit a conventional studio's budget.
That means reducing both the infrastructure bill and the engineering work needed to integrate it.
Cheap transactions cover only part of the cost. Studios still have to integrate the system, manage data and keep it running.
Our design follows 4 principles.
1. Run frequent actions in a dedicated layer.
In our design, mining, crafting and item consumption execute in Aether near the game server. Solana handles verification and external settlement.
This avoids sending every action as a separate main-chain transaction. Fast player feedback and final confirmation remain distinct steps.
2. Batch the work.
We aim to spread publication and verification costs across many actions. Savings depend on the workload and verification mechanism.
Each protected state transition still needs to be independently verifiable. Publishing a hash alone doesn't prove the rules were followed.
3. Provide shared infrastructure.
We're building an SDK and common tools for rules, economic state and item history, alongside operations and recovery tooling.
The studio defines its mechanics and permitted actions. Aether packages the infrastructure into a shared service. The studio still needs to connect valid game inputs to those rules.
4. Start with one complete economic loop.
Mine ore -> craft a sword -> consume it.
For a 10 ore -> 1 sword recipe, that means validating the mining inputs, including the player's position and resource state. Crafting must consume 10 ore once and create 1 sword. Repeating a request mustn't create a second sword. Later consumption also needs verification.
The first integration has a defined scope. A team can test failure recovery and compare costs with its current backend before expanding to other mechanics.
The savings need to be measured.
We'll compare the full cost of execution, verification, data, integration and operations, including engineering time and recovery from failures.
Moving a fee from the player to the studio doesn't make the system cheaper.
Our goal is to make verifiable game economies a practical infrastructure service with a clear integration path and transparent costs.
Real games. Deep on-chain economies. Indie budgets. Why pick two?
Bad games aren't why Web3 gaming flopped. Marketing pretending to be math is.
Here's the deal.
Since 2019, the entire Play-to-Earn wave ran on one playbook: mint 10,000 items, slap "Legendary" on a pitch deck, and pray the hype holds before the token dumps.
Players aren't stupid. They walked away.
What this industry skipped was the boring engineering underneath: verifiable asset math.
Think about why a gamer actually values a "Super Sword."
Not because a marketing team called it rare on X.
They value it when the engine proves on-chain that the drop rate is 0.01%, you only get 1 roll every 24 hours, and nobody with an admin password can quietly mint a second one for their friend.
Once the community trusts that math, the item gets real weight.
Then Web3 finally makes sense. You can rent that sword out to a guild for the weekend, co-invest in it, or trade it against $15.8B of @solana liquidity.
That is exactly why we are building Aether together with @solanagaming .
We give studios the state engine to prove every drop, roll, and craft on-chain. We'll leave the hype to the marketing agencies.
Gamers and devs: what's the rarest item drop you ever ground for, and would it still matter if an admin could duplicate it?
Building a dupe-proof game economy used to take 3 months of backend pain. It now takes 15 minutes.
And you don't write a single line of Rust.
Here's the deal.
Web3 tools failed game devs because nobody wants to rewrite C++ or C# netcode just to test on-chain items, and nobody wants a Steam ban over a wallet pop-up.
So we built two tracks into Aether:
1. For game studios (UE5, Unity, Godot):
Drop our Docker sidecar next to your server in 15 minutes and let it batch boss drops over gRPC without touching your game tick, while your players log in with Steam and your designer tweaks drop rates, supply caps, and weapon wear live in the browser. No server patches.
2. For solo builders in Cursor, Claude Code, or Codex:
Plug in Aether MCP.
Type one prompt in your IDE: "Create sword Ashbringer (500 supply, 0.4% boss drop, 2 wear/fight), craft from 3 shards, and open P2P trading with 12% studio royalty."
Done in 14 seconds.
Your inventory backend, anti-dupe checks, and market storefront are live before your coffee cools.
Game builders: would your team rather wire up a Docker sidecar or ship the economy from a Cursor prompt?
And this is barely scratching the surface-just 1 of 100+ possibilities ahead. That's the exact future we're building at Aether. 4
Massive shoutout to our mentors for the support:
@colosseum
@JosipVolarevic2
@mattytay
Fitting the full scale of our vision into a 2-minute pitch is no easy feat.
Brick by brick, we're building the ultimate conglomerate of gaming economies.
Is liquidity for in-game assets really necessary?
Fast forward a bit. Imagine:
Locking your legendary sword in a lending protocol to get a loan
if Investing in a siege catapult and earning yield by renting it out for castle raids
Sounds crazy? It's becoming a reality with @aethergamesSOL on @solana
Hope @colosseum is ready for this!
"How do 100 million game actions a month run at 20ms for $499 if blockchain is slow and expensive?"
Every CTO on my calls this week asked some version of that question.
Here's the deal.
Most Web3 games lag because they treat a global ledger like a game server. Every sword swing, loot drop, and craft hits the chain. It's madness.
With Aether, we split the stack into three loops so your team doesn't write a single line of Rust.
1. The game loop. 99.9% of the time, boss hits, drops, and weapon wear run through our local Go sidecar at 20ms and $0 gas. Your players log in with Steam, Apple, or Google, with zero pop-ups.
2. The math audit. Every action links into a chain of item history. We ran 513,268 combat attacks through our Replay Verifier in testing and hit 0 state mismatches. If a hacked admin panel tries to dupe a rare sword, our core blocks it cold.
3. The cashier. We only touch Solana L1 when a player buys or sells an item for real money. That gives you $15.8B in USDC and USDT liquidity, cuts out the 30% store tax, and pays you 5% to 20% royalty on every resale.
Database speed for gameplay. @solana for the bank.
We built plugins for #Docker, #Unity, #UE5, and #Cursor #MCP so you're live in one evening.
Game CTOs: what's the #1 technical blocker keeping your economy on-chain right now?
Another way to read the exodus: gamers didn't reject ownership. They rejected fake scarcity. Mint 10 swords, call them rare, and players clock it in a week. But give them an item with a history they can verify, earned through 200 hours of their own grind, and you'll have to pry it out of their hands.
What kinds of purchases have made you feel FOMO?
Half the replies on my last post said the same thing: gaming can't save Web3.
Fair. It can't. That was never the job.
Here's the deal.
Web3 doesn't need saving. It needs one real use case that isn't a casino.
I've been building in Web3 since 2019. Most of what I saw was the casino. Memecoins, Ponzinomics, 10 NFT swords labelled "rare" because a marketing deck said so.
Players saw through it in about a week. Good.
I've been in gamedev since 2010, and games matter for one boring reason. They already produce millions of actions a day that people actually care about. Every drop, every trade, every crafted item has a history.
Right now that history lives in a studio database. One server wipe and your 400 hours are gone.
Put that ledger on-chain and the item gets provenance. Who made it. Who used it. How many exist. Value backed by player effort instead of a press release.
That's what we're building with @aethergamesSOL on @solana . Verification, not speculation.
This is the project we submitted to @colosseum , and we're waiting to see how the market reacts. You agree with us, don't you?
And it's not theory. At peak, one of my games did 5% of ALL monthly transactions on Aptos. Players didn't show up for a token. They showed up to play.
Gaming won't save Web3.
It'll just be the first thing on-chain people use on purpose.
So, "waste of time" camp: if not games, which industry puts real users on-chain first, and why?
That’s a great question—let’s break it down in detail:
a) We have +50 new contacts for networking, and our call schedule is set for the next 2 weeks.
b) The topic we touched on isn’t clear to everyone, and part of the audience is convinced that it’s a waste of time and that GAMING can’t save the day.
c) We don’t have enough materials to explain all our technologies and their purpose.
d) Our project database is filling up with companies that want to integrate with us and are ready to use our solution.
These are the main areas we’ve identified since the release.
What did I miss? What did we overlook?
Little?
WE are heroes, and let's be proud of it:

Our launch breakdown video ("6 Levels of Web3 Integration in Games") ignited massive traction across Crypto Twitter:
* 6,000+ organic impressions within the first 24 hours.
* 150+ in-depth comments & architecture debates with game builders and the Solana community.
* 160+ likes and 30+ retweets/quotes.
* 13+ creators & ecosystem advocates published dedicated reviews, quotes, and deep-dives amplifying our vision
Gaming onchain has been broken for 9 years.
Nobody wants to pay $0.05 in gas every time their sword hits a goblin. And no real studio will migrate to crypto if costs are 100x higher than AWS.
We just submitted Aether (@aethergamesSOL ) to @colosseum to finally fix this.
Here is what we built, stress-tested, and proved during the hackathon 🧵👇
🎮 The Vision
Steam built a multi-billion dollar monopoly on closed item economies.
We’re building an SVM-based L2 execution layer for game economies: 20ms engine, Web2-level infrastructure costs, zero gas for routine player actions, and verifiable item provenance anchored to @solana .
⚡️ The Stress Test (Not a slide deck, real code):
• Minecraft boss-raid demo: 100 players bashing one boss simultaneously on SVM L2. Zero lag. Zero crashes. Gasless for players.
• Backend throughput: 1,600 attacks/second without queue buildup.
• Deterministic replay: 513,268 executed attacks replayed with exactly ZERO state desyncs.
🤝 Traction & Validation:
We didn't build in an echo chamber. Since spring, we interviewed 25 game studios representing 10M+ MAU. 5 studios have already agreed to integrate and test our MVP.
🛠️ The Stack:
Agave / SVM, Rust, Anchor, SPL Token-2022, Go gateway & batcher, Ed25519 signatures, and Solana devnet state anchors.
The era of fake "onchain gaming" hype is over. The era of verifiable, friction-free player-owned economies starts now.
LFG @colosseum ⚔️🔥
🔗 Check our project:
colosseum.com/arena/projects…
We interviewed 25 game studios with 10M+ MAU about on-chain gaming. All 25 gave us the exact same condition.
Make it cost what our Web2 servers cost, or don't bother.
We heard them loud and clear.
Traditional game developers don't want token launchpads, they don't want speculative NFT drops, and they definitely won't rewrite their entire game engine around a blockchain. They want verifiable item markets, provable provenance, and enforceable economy rules.
That's the whole list.
Five partner studios running games for 10,000,000 active players have already agreed to test integrations once our Aether MVP opens up for external teams.
Their condition is dead simple.
Prove affordable operation inside a real production game.
We agree completely.
Talk is cheap in crypto.
So we aren't asking studios to blindly trust our pitch deck. Our next milestone is running every Aether-powered state mechanic in 1 live game on Solana, measuring actual transaction costs against their existing Postgres benchmarks on AWS, down to $0.0002 per active session.
Once those numbers match, we'll hand our SDK to the 5 pilot teams.
Real infrastructure adoption isn't won on Twitter hype.
It's won on the server bill.
If you're running a studio on Steam, what's your cost ceiling for on-chain state?
#Solana #GameDev #Web3Gaming
This is where standard swap contracts fall short. Game economies are more complicated than simple trades — they involve locked assets, asynchronous actions, and state changes that all need to stay in sync.
We built our L2 to handle exactly this. Even when a game patch changes the rules, we enforce deterministic state transitions directly at the ledger level on @solana , keeping balances and player inventories consistent.
Version 1: 10 ore -> 1 sword.
Version 2: 1 ore -> 1 sword.
A player starts a craft before the update. Which rule applies?
I'd check who can change the recipe and when the new version becomes active. Accepted crafts might keep the old rules, get revalidated, or cancel with a refund.
That policy must be enforced during verification, including the handling of committed ore. I'd want more than a version label.
Real games. Deep on-chain economies. Indie budgets. Why pick two?
The full bill question is what blindsides every indie studio. We've seen it kill runways. Teams budget for raw gas, but don't factor in $15,000 monthly for custom RPC nodes, dedicated indexers, and 2 full-time backend engineers just to babysit state sync. If our L2 architecture didn't collapse that overhead to fractions of a cent on Solana, no indie game could survive beta.
It's a shame when games can't offer more than just blockchain payments.
I really want to change that. @overheat_game
