Drift Zone, a rising Web3 gaming studio, has secured a $190,000 grant from the Sei network, aiming to reshape the Gacha gaming scene in Asia. With a strong player base of over 500,000 already engaged in its Telegram mini-game, Drift Zone: Arena, the studio is on a mission to mainstream Web3 gaming by integrating blockchain technology with popular gaming mechanics.
The Gacha Evolution with Web3 Rewards
Gacha games, a genre that generated over $4.4 billion in revenue across Asia last year, are immensely popular due to their addictive mechanics. Drift Zone is taking this proven formula and enhancing it with real-world rewards, powered by Sei’s high-performance blockchain technology.
Sei offers an impressive infrastructure, boasting a block finality of 380 milliseconds and the ability to process up to 12,500 transactions per second. This allows Drift Zone to deliver seamless gameplay experiences that feel like traditional Web2 games but come with the added benefits of blockchain integration.
“What Drift Zone is doing just makes sense,” said Jason Lim, Global Gaming Lead at the Sei Foundation. “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.”
Fast-Paced Development and Expansion
Drift Zone’s ecosystem is growing rapidly. Players of Drift Zone: Arena can now claim rewards directly to their Seiwallets and verify achievements on-chain. Meanwhile, the demo for their upcoming game, Drift Zone: Origins, a collectible auto-battler, is now live on Sei.
By integrating these features, Drift Zone is poised to expand into one of the world’s most lucrative gaming markets, redefining the Gacha format.
“Look at the numbers – players in Asia spend $4.4B annually on Gacha games,“ said Vedran Sisak, Founder and CEO of Drift Zone. “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.“
