SEI to Support Drift Zone to Enhance Asian Gaming Market
Hong Kong, Hong Kong, 15th November 2024, GamingWire
Drift Zone, the Web3 gaming studio building the next evolution of Gacha games, has secured a $190,000 grant to integrate its rapidly-growing gaming ecosystem with the Sei network. With over 500,000 players already active in its Telegram mini-game Drift Zone: Arena, the studio is demonstrating how familiar gaming experiences can unlock mainstream Web3 adoption.
The studio's approach centers on enhancing popular Gacha mechanics - which drove over $4.4B in revenue across Asia last year - with real rewards powered by blockchain technology. By building on Sei, both Drift Zone: Arena and the upcoming collectible auto-battler Drift Zone: Origins will leverage the network's 380-millisecond block finality and process up to 12,500 transactions per second to deliver Web2-like gaming experiences with Web3 benefits.
"What Drift Zone is doing just makes sense," said Jason Lim, Global Gaming Lead at the Sei Foundation. "They're taking games that already drive massive player engagement across Asia and enhancing the experience with Sei’s technology. By building on Sei, Drift Zone can deliver seamless, high-performance gameplay, allowing players to stay fully immersed without needing to think about the blockchain running in the background. When players can just enjoy the game, adoption follows naturally."
