7 hours ago | bankless.com | David Hoffman

Subscribe to Bankless or sign in tl;dr Since 2023, Ethereum has ceded the distribution edge that once turned ETH into money by throttling its own L1, urging builders to “get off mainnet,” and moral‑policing whole product categories, a choice that scattered users, liquidity, and mind‑share across L2s and faster L1s.
LLMs Meet Loot: How Daydreams Is Rewriting Onchain Play

5 days ago | bankless.com | William Peaster

Subscribe to Bankless or sign in To me, one of the most interesting generative onchain agent frameworks is Daydreams. I've been tracking Daydreams since the start of 2025 through its deepening integration into Eternum, a fully onchain strategy game I recently covered that will have Daydreams agents roaming its map by this point next week.
Scaling Ethereum's DeFi App Scene with Singletons

Subscribe to Bankless or sign in One of my favorite indie developers in the Ethereum ecosystem is Ross, a.k.a. z0r0zzz. He's got a long track record of pushing Ethereum forward from the ground up. His early work on SushiSwap’s BentoBox was a boon for DeFi, and his more recent efforts with onchain agents (NANI) and onchain legal-tech (KALI) are one-of-a-kind in quality. His newest vision is even more ambitious, involving scaling Ethereum not at the network level, but at the app level.

Subscribe to Bankless or sign in The Ethereum community’s push for better UX via account abstraction just took its biggest leap forward yet. That’s because EIP-7702, a highly anticipated proposal designed to unlock smart account powers for every wallet, just went live today with the Pectra upgrade. This mechanism is poised to be a major boost for Ethereum’s onchain culture scene in the years ahead, so let’s break down the basics and highlight what to watch going forward. What is EIP-7702?
Focus Tree’s Digital Gardens Blossom On Starknet

1 week ago | bankless.com | William Peaster

Subscribe to Bankless or sign in Starknet’s prowess has largely coalesced around two poles so far: capital‑efficient DeFi and fully onchain games. Yet the Starknet tech stack, including the Cairo VM, STARK proofs, and various community tools, make for quite a general‑purpose canvas. Imagination is the main limitation here. In other words, you can do much more on Starknet than strictly financial or gaming use cases.

Eternum Season 1: Starknet's Biggest MMO Expands Its Battlefield

2 weeks ago | bankless.com | William Peaster

Subscribe to Bankless or sign in Starknet has a gem in Eternum, which is built atop the Dojo engine and the Cartridge gaming stack. It's one of my favorite titles in onchain games because it plays like one of my favorite mainstream franchises, Sid Meier’s Civilization. Yet unlike Civ, Eternum runs on fully open infrastructure. Its economy is real, its non-player characters are AI-powered, and its emergent gameplay is immutable.
Getting Started with Initia: A New L1 for Appchains

2 weeks ago | bankless.com | William Peaster

Subscribe to Bankless or sign in I'm a big fan of onchain games, which is how I found Kamigotchi. It's a fully onchain MMORPG, and I think it's one of the most promising and charming titles in crypto's gaming scene today. In following Kamigotchi, I learned the project was launching its own virtual world appchain, Yominet, on Initia. Admittedly, that was the first time I'd ever heard of Initia.

Some of these fresh arrivals are playful, some ambitious, but all are experimenting with what's possible when anyone can build in the open. That said, here are a handful of projects I’ve personally been tracking lately that feel worth a closer look.
