Scaling games on Ethereum Sidedchains
summary
Game logic and economy move from Ethereum to a POA sidechain to stop unpredictable gas spikes and make actions cheap and fast: 5 second blocks, player move costs about $0.22 on POA but 500 game transactions cost ~$0.01, and ~371 in‑game tokens are migrated via a custom bridge. Built an XD sidechain that mints native DAI‑pegged ERC20 tokens via a bridge with aggregated signatures, has zero block rewards, is live with ~$465 market cap, and is used in production by the game.
