🎯 WHY YOU SHOULD BUILD YOUR BLOCKCHAIN GAME ON A SUBNET

1) What is Subnet?

The subnet is a subnet of @avalancheavax, validators operating under a common consensus mechanism to validate a set of blockchains.

#Avalanche #GameFi #Subnet #Blockchain

There are currently 2 ways to extend the blockchain:

🔸 Vertical scaling

🔸 Horizontal scaling

The clever thing about subnetting is that you can only improve your blockchain efficiency (vertical scaling), but is a virtual resource that can be cloned, scaling horizontally much simpler.

So you can build your game in your own blockchain. Of course, this isn't the best decision for every game, small games will work just as well at launch on Avalanche as most dApps do.

But if you are optimistic about your account, you should definitely consider a subnet.

2) Why should you build games on #Avalanche?

2.1) Compatibility

An Avalanche subnet can connect to a virtual machine (Virtual blockchain), e.g. EVM, Bitcoin Script, Cardano's UTXO model, Solana's engine, etc.

That means you only need to know 1 programming language Any blockchain program can build a subnet on avalanche without having to learn a new language

@DefiKingdoms (from @harmonyprotocol) launching on Avalanche's Subnet is a good example of the subnet's friendliness and compatibility with VMs and programming languages.

2.2) Simple Operation

Suppose if a player enters a game project and needs to make a transaction they want.

With the subnet, everything seems simpler and more cost-effective for players.

2.3) Independence

The reason for the slowness of the blockchains and the skyrocketing costs is the overload from the gas war that will happen.

For example: an NFT project announcing a mint or a project launching a token and FOMO investors join, give network congestion and if your game is built on the same blockchain as the projects...

...your players will be affected and if every year every month every month projects are released then work happens. Intermittent congestion is entirely possible.

2.4) Experience

Gaming is an interactive experience, but with current blockchain games, UX is difficult to handle due to long transaction times, high fees, poor liquidity, and loss of interaction rhythm and the feeling of experiencing a hit game.

With smooth interactions with beautiful graphics players will want to have such experiences, they deserve it.

And the subnet with game projects can do that at a speed that almost meets the needs of players and does not disrupt the user's game experience.

Thus, they are even more interested and want to experience the game more from now on, that creates a solid economy for the game.

👉 We can see the speed between Avalanche C-chain and @swimmer_network (Subnet):

🔸C-Chain Transaction Speed: 14.02 sec

🔸Swimmer network (Subnet) Transaction Speed: 1.81 se
