Solana Foundation Continues to Provide Blockchain Game Infrastructure

The debate over Solana's blockchain games is shifting towards game infrastructure. Lily Liu, the representative of the Solana Foundation, stated on March 20 on X that "games on the blockchain will not return." However, this does not imply an official cessation of business. Solana's official developer documentation provides guidance on how to implement wallet authentication, token payments, and digital items in the form of NFTs for games. Currently, there are over 88 live games on the Solana network, but this has limitations in assessing user scale or business performance. There is a debate over whether to place blockchain at the forefront of games or to connect it only to certain functions. Early play-to-earn games attracted users through token rewards and price appreciation expectations, but they also faced criticism. Community reactions to Liu's remarks were mixed. Some agreed that token rewards are unnecessary, while others argued that blockchain can only be utilized for payments and asset ownership. Skepticism about the sustainability of blockchain gaming has existed in the past, and it is noteworthy that there is skepticism about Solana providing game development tools and infrastructure while also making blockchain the core product of games.
