A fully onchain game stores all its logic, including assets, rules, and state, on a blockchain or rollup.

In contrast to mainstream titles that run on private, siloed servers and where players have little sovereignty, the decentralized approach of onchain games offers players asset ownership, open economics, open modding, persistence, and transparency.
