Greetings everyone!๐
We often see that in traditional games, when you press buttons and something happens within seconds, and do you know? ๐คThis activity is free, but Web 3 works differently. Every move is a transaction here, and it can cost you money.
Gas fees allow us to do it. Actions, like equipping or combining weapons, character mining, and even claiming rewards, generate micro transactions, and these micro transactions cost gas fees.๐ Unlike Hive blockchain, other blockchains charge transaction fees.
Gas fees need to be considered for those who create a Web 3 game because this is a part of the gaming experience in a Web 3 game, and players should be aware of it. ๐ โโ This is a little pain in the fun of the game.
Surprise fees are the biggest Ux failure, which is why I said players should be aware of it, but when they see a hidden cost suddenly, immediately, they leave the game. ๐Why this gas fee? You can put a small note there. And this is a good gesture.
For the Ethereum blockchain games, things are quite difficult because players pay more in gas fees than the assets they buy in the game. ๐A Layer 2 solution can be good, and there are networks like Optimism, Arbitrum, Immutable, and Polygon. Good things are that these networks have low fees, which is comfortable for web 3 gaming, so I believe gaming should be fun-focused instead of feeling like a bank transfer.
Another thing is that signing transactions frequently is a headache, which is why there should be a facility to do so at once. ๐คFor example, trade, upgrade, and equip in a single transaction. There is a concept called meta transaction. In such transactions, it shows gas fees are acquired but are settled later.๐ค Web 3 gaming means so many micro transactions, which is why you have to be careful with this.
Let me give you the final and the game-changer solution, and that is free gas fee transactions. ๐คIf you can make a Gas-free transaction in your game, then this is best. If you can do so, and there is a possibility. For that, I will try to cover a separate article.
The highway has tolls, and the web world has gas as a toll.๐ What is actually needed is a smart game design that feels to users that gas is not a barrier but a game task. ๐
