You’ve probably heard of superhero fatigue. It’s a frequently written concern that film audiences are burning out in superhero movies as studios like Marvel and Warner Bros have been kicking out so much over a decade.
Some believe that superhero fatigue has occurred in part because the quality of the films and shows mentioned above has declined overall over time. The movie starts to melt together. It will gain a small number of loyal fans, but many others will soon be forgotten.
Does it sound familiar?
I can’t help but feel that this too is the crypto number that needs to be felt about blockchain.
I’m honest: I think I have both superhero fatigue and New blockchain fatigue.
Whenever something new is announced, I ask myself – what do you think? this Is it actually different? Why is this really more important than the last thing that came before it?
Especially when it comes to gaming, is the blockchain really another game-focused against Crypto Gaming’s long-standing core problem that has not been widely appealed to game studios and gamers?
But maybe I’m asking the wrong question. After all, ciphers are magical internet money. When you create a new blockchain and generate cash, people continue to create them. But it’s a strategy for creating flashes in bread and less to create long-term viability.
The teams behind these new blockchains can argue that there is no need to justify their work. Maybe you believe in praise like “if you have, more” philosophy. The more chains you can choose, the more likely it is to “large-scale recruitment.”
Maybe we believe Crypto’s TAM is huge and global, as we believe Crypto will soon completely replace the traditional financial system. the Potential Everyone spends money, so the audience is all. So why not start another chain?
And there are billions of gamers all over the world, why not try launching another gamer again? game chain?
Or, like me, you’re a little more skeptical that you really need more chains. The new “consumer” chain appears to be more focused on finding developers to build with them than actually appealing to consumers.
The blockchain team focuses on promoting technical benefits and providing grants to game projects, but daily consumers rarely see them actually being sold to get them on board with the promised cryptogame revolution.
Consider the XRPL Gamechain, built on the XRPL EVM Sidechain that the B3 team announced at XRPL Commons last week. XRPL GameChain transactions settle on XRP, bringing B3’s open app layer effectively to the XRP blockchain.

However, the name is quite full.
“XRPL GameChain” is not a consumer name. In fact, it’s more of a name for developers. I’ll tell you what it’s technically.
Next is the “Xcade” that was launched on XRPL GameChain TestNet. The browser-based mini-games look like they traveled back to the early 2000s mini-clip era of Adobe Flash Player Gaming.
Check out Xcade’s game library for mobile-first focus.
B3 states that Xcade “eliminates onboarding friction, creates a low barrier to entry into the XRP ecosystem, and makes it easier to become an active participant than ever.”
Daryl Xu of NPC Labs says XCade aims to “jump-start a thriving consumer ecosystem built around XRP.”
