The blockchain never rests. And neither does development on play to earn gaming. New releases, new drops, new partnerships, new technology, new games!

Once dominated by Ethereum and WAX, the blockchain gaming scene is rapidly expanding to other chains. Polygon, Binance Chain, Solana, and Enjin seem to have the most action, but expect to see more news from other chains this year as well as numerous cross-chain projects.
