In order to integrate its quickly expanding gaming ecosystem with the Sei network, Drift Zone, the Web3 gaming company creating the next generation of Gacha games, has secured a $190,000 grant. With its Telegram mini-game Drift Zone: Arena already having over 500,000 players, the studio is proving that broad Web3 adoption can be facilitated by familiar gaming experiences.
The studio’s strategy is on adding blockchain-powered real rewards to the well-liked Gacha mechanics, which generated over $4.4 billion in revenue in Asia last year. In order to provide Web2-like gaming experiences with Web3 advantages, Drift Zone: Arena and the soon-to-be collectible auto-battler Drift Zone: Origins will take use of the network’s 380-millisecond block finality and execute up to 12,500 transactions per second.
Jason Lim, Global Gaming Lead at the Sei Foundation said:
“What Drift Zone is doing just makes sense. 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.”
The demo of Drift Zone: Origins is now live on Sei, and users of Drift Zone: Arena may now validate accomplishments on-chain and collect rewards straight to Seiwallets, demonstrating how quickly development is moving forward. The studio’s entry into one of the most profitable gaming markets is made possible by this technical integration, which also adds real rewards to the well-liked Gacha format among Asian gamers.
Vedran Sisak, Founder and CEO of Drift Zone stated:
“Look at the numbers – players in Asia spend $4.4B annually on Gacha games. These games are already incredibly sticky, but players never see any real value from their participation. We’re changing that equation. We’re evolving the entire format by adding real rewards to mechanics players already love. With Sei’s technology, we can deliver this experience at the massive scale these markets demand.”
