Starknet (STRK)

Gaming is THE narrative for 2026 But most investors act blindly, without a strategy. To make a good investment, you need to understand the technology behind I’ve spent hours studying Starknet and MegaETH so you can make the right bet Here is my breakdown of the two giants 🧵 https://t.co/vhKCghJYSd

Not all chains are made for the same type of games. And forcing every game into the same infra is how you get mid experiences. Two stacks are starting to clearly diverge here: Starknet and megaETH. Both are powerful and need but not for the same type of games

First: what actually matters for onchain games? Games care about: -How often state changes -game logic complexity -Whether actions must be provable, persistent, and uncheatable -Whether the game is about sessions or worlds

Starknet: Starknet is optimized for: -Complex state machines -Long-running worlds -Heavy logic -Asynchronous, strategic gameplay -Trust-minimized economies This makes Starknet perfect for a very specific class of games 👇

Starknet fits perfectly heavy game logic where actions matter more than speed, like strategy, management, and economic games. In these cases state integrity is more important than instant speed, mostly because Starknet makes one big meaningful action cheap. But many tiny actions would be relatively “expensive”.

it makes Starknet the perfect fit for: -City builders -Empire management -Resource economies -Alliance-based strategy -Long term planning -AI

FOCGs like influence or Eternum are perfectly making sense on something like Starknet because you don’t need instant execution, you need making decisions that will have repercussions for several days.

If you're unfamiliar with Starknet's eco, think of: - Civilization - Total War - Ogame All these games are worlds, not sessions based. They rely on heavy logic and care more about system integrity than instant feedback, right?

megaETH: megaETH is also perfect for gaming, but it plays a completely different game Its focus is on ultra low latency and high frequency interactions for an experience that feels like Web2. This makes megaETH perfectly suited for a different category of games:

Imo, the future of gaming: - Starknet for world-based games (where you plan and build) - MegaETH for sessions games (where you jump in, and react quickly) Both are valid. That’s my bet !

- Action game like PvP duels, arcade, combat. Think about Street Fighter, Tekken, or Super Smash Bros - Games as sessions where there is no long term commitment, like League of Legends or FIFA - Social games like Among Us or Fall Guys, where immutability does not matter at all

In all those games you need actions to feel instant or just imagine how boring those games would be Imo the future of onchain gaming is not on a single chain. Trying to build a real strategy MMO on a ultra fast session chain feels wrong. Trying to build a PvP game on a world oriented / heavy logic chain feels wrong as well.
