What are the key points of blockchain games in terms of user acquisition (UA), and how to do it? BITKRAFT Ventures, a top game encryption venture capital, provided their views and suggestions.

Author: BITKRAFT Ventures; Compiler: Zen, PANews TL;DR While the rise of Web3 and blockchain technology has created many opportunities for game design, game development, and digital asset ownership, the fundamental problem to be solved when it comes to user acquisition (UA) remains unchanged: maximizing player lifetime value (LTV ), while minimizing customer acquisition costs (CAC). However, the ability to accurately measure this relationship has changed, and in the decentralized world, both sides of the equation have become increasingly blurred: CAC is often measured in cost-per-install (CPI) in traditional games, but it is much more difficult to calculate accurately. And many of the current Web3 games are browser games, which means that no installation is required. "Value" in Web3 games is harder to quantify than traditional games, LTV...

The outdated trigger of JetBrains is not AI, but rather its self-generated old IDE architecture, which is lagging, slow, and cumbersome to adapt to work. I wanted to revolutionize myself, so I created a fleet, but it turned out to be a big mess. Zed is thriving, while the fleet is completely dead. The AI focus is going to develop an AI Assistant that nobody likes and that has no use, while also having to maintain junie. It's far more comfortable to go all in on one direction and take a gamble than to just wait and die like this. One misstep leads to another; the boss is living too comfortably, and the business model is stagnant. My suggestion is to directly implement the full suite of high-performance static analysis tools into the vsc plugin, and then launch an AI IDE using the vsc framework.

SMooTH has reviewed the GameFi and SocialFi projects in Hyperliquid that are still in their early stages, based on factors such as project development progress, influence, and product quality.

The development and upgrade roadmap of Ethereum Introduction Recently, there have been frequent inquiries from project parties about which public blockchain to deploy, the performance differences between various public blockchains, their ecological layout, and platform traffic, as well as the short- and long-term impacts on projects. This year, several hot public blockchain projects have issued tokens, including Arbitrium, Sui, and the yet-to-be-released zkSync, leading to a strong demand for basic knowledge and analysis of public blockchains. We have specifically formed a public blockchain research group to comprehensively sort out the active and highly regarded public blockchains in the current market. We will conduct a thorough analysis from the perspective of GameFi project parties and users regarding the performance level, friendliness, and support intensity of these public blockchains for GameFi projects. The preliminary plan is to write 4 research papers, with the main content distributed as follows: The first article extends from the development history of Ethereum, the ecosystem of blockchain games, and the existing problems, to the upgrade roadmap of Ethereum 2.0.
