Gaming on AERE Network
Blockchain gaming has a throughput problem and a fee problem. AERE solves both. High transaction volume, fast block times, and costs so low that microtransactions are viable, the chain designed for interactive applications where every player action may touch the ledger.
AERE supports EVM-compatible smart contracts and the full ERC-721 / ERC-1155 NFT standard suite out of the box. In-game items, characters, land parcels, and achievement tokens are first-class on-chain objects, tradeable, composable, and owned by players, not servers.
Why AERE for gaming
01
Throughput that games actually need
A game with active players generates transaction volume that would congest a slow-finality chain within minutes of launch. AERE is built for high-throughput workloads. Block times are short and consistent, which means that in-game events, item drops, crafting, trading, match results, can be written on-chain in near real time rather than batched into slow settlement windows. The chain does not require Layer 2 workarounds just to handle the baseline activity of a mid-sized game.
02
Microtransactions at negligible cost
In traditional web3 gaming, gas fees make small transactions economically irrational. Spending $2 in fees to record a $0.10 in-game purchase is a non-starter for players. On AERE, each transaction costs a fraction of a cent in AERE fees. This makes microtransactions viable: consumables, small upgrades, entry fees, and in-game currency transfers can all settle on-chain without fee friction destroying the user experience. The game economy can be fully on-chain rather than a hybrid of off-chain databases and expensive on-chain snapshots.
03
NFT-native infrastructure
AereNFT, AERE's native NFT contract, and the on-chain marketplace are live on mainnet. EIP-2981 royalty standards are supported, meaning game studios can configure royalty splits that are enforced at the contract level on every secondary sale. ERC-1155 multi-token contracts allow a single deployment to manage an entire game's item catalogue, fungible currencies alongside non-fungible equipment or collectibles. The block explorer indexes NFT transfers in real time, and the indexer API exposes ownership and history data for front-end integration.
What you can build
The combination of fast finality, low fees, and live NFT infrastructure opens the full game design space: fully on-chain games where every state transition is a transaction, hybrid games where off-chain computation settles outcome proofs on-chain, item marketplaces with royalty enforcement, loot systems that generate randomness through on-chain entropy, guild treasuries managed by multi-sig, and achievement systems where milestones are verified on-chain and transferable between games.
The AERE grants program funds gaming projects that contribute to the ecosystem. Studio-grade integrations, open-source game SDKs, and on-chain game infrastructure are all eligible categories. Grant decisions are fast for smaller project scopes and public throughout the process.
