SubGame: Modular Gaming Blockchain in the Polkadot Ecosystem
The SubGame whitepaper was released by the SubGame project team in 2021, aiming to build a future value interconnection network to address the pain points of inefficient resource utilization in existing blockchains, and to explore more possibilities for decentralized gaming platforms and cross-chain development.
The theme of the SubGame whitepaper can be summarized as “SubGame: A Decentralized Gaming Platform for Polkadot Parachains.” What makes SubGame unique is its adoption of the Substrate blockchain framework combined with a high-performance database architecture, the proposal of a multi-module game engine, and the realization of cross-chain smart contracts through relay chain contract protocols; the significance of SubGame lies in laying the foundation for a decentralized gaming ecosystem, enabling traditional games to integrate into blockchain systems, while minimizing the cost of value transfer between chains and enhancing application scalability.
SubGame’s original intention is to create an open, high-performance, and scalable decentralized gaming platform for Polkadot parachains, addressing the resource efficiency issues of current blockchain systems. The core viewpoint presented in the SubGame whitepaper is: by combining the Substrate framework and modular architecture, SubGame can strike a balance between performance, scalability, and cross-chain interoperability, thereby cultivating a rich ecosystem for blockchain games and decentralized applications.
