Dear Bankless Nation,

My read of the week? “[The Future of On-Chain Gaming](https://volt.capital/blog/the-future-of-on-chain-gaming)” by Volt Capital’s Alec Chen.

It’s a short and insightful read about how on-chain multiplayer gaming, while nascent, is on the verge of working at scale.

I totally agree! With infra improving quickly and gas fees [trending toward zero](https://twitter.com/Flynnjamm/status/1565537950263349251), I think it’s only a matter of time until we start seeing the first complex on-chain gaming blockbusters.

Those titles may still be years away, sure. Yet the seeds for them are being sown today, so keep your eyes peeled on the on-chain gaming scene accordingly. For now, let’s get you caught up on the past week in NFTs — have a great weekend everyone ✌️
