Gm, and welcome to The WASD Weekly!

It was a big week for onchain games.

Influence’s pre-release went live in early access.

Proof Of Play revealed “Multichain,” an L3 framework built using Arbitrum Orbit.

Onchain Clash launched on Ancient8, while MMO wargame “War3,” was announced and will be launching on Blast.

I’m excited by all of these developments, as it shows that the ecosystem is progressing at both the infrastructure and game levels.

It’s a very bullish sign for the future of the space – And I can’t wait to try all the new releases!

Anyways, without further ado, here’s:
