Full-chain games, though still in their early stages, have captured people's imagination and development efforts for over a decade, encompassing the ideal of creating autonomous game worlds.
In 2012, SatoshiDice emerged as the first Bitcoin-based gambling game, marking the origin of full-chain games. This game allowed players to bet using Bitcoin and used preset odds and a random number generator to determine winners and losers.
In 2013, HunterCoin served as a precursor to full-chain games, running on its blockchain, where player actions were submitted as transactions. However, the token HUC's value nearly dropped to zero in 2015.
The launch of the Ethereum mainnet in 2015 introduced a broader range of full-chain games, including gambling games like vDice and Etheroll.

On August 7, 2020, Dark Forest released its first test version, combining zero-knowledge proof technology and on-chain game logic, creating a full-chain game with hidden information, no entry barriers, and scalability. However, it also triggered Ethereum's performance issues.
In 2021, the Loot Project was released, becoming a symbol of foundational IP, inspiring numerous games and applications that integrated Loot into gameplay and storylines.
By 2023, emerging full-chain games and autonomous worlds as a new industry rapidly developed. Major blockchain ecosystems actively nurtured the full-chain gaming sector, with infrastructures like LootRealms on Starknet, GO L2, and SUI8192 on SUI experiencing rapid growth.
With the arrival of 2024, there is great anticipation for full-chain games, with major blockchain ecosystems continually fostering the sector, and infrastructure continuously improving and evolving. Full-chain games represent not just an evolution in entertainment but also an innovative application of blockchain technology, offering players more interaction and economic opportunities. Full-chain games will continue to explore innovation, bringing more surprises to players and becoming an indispensable part of the digital era's gaming and entertainment landscape. |
