Conduit Newsletter, April 2025: Onchain Gaming Cost Research, Blackbird Flynet Infra Explainer, and More

This month, we have new Conduit rollups, research on onchain gaming costs and RWAs, a big Conduit milestone, and more!

New Conduit rollups

Two new rollups launched on Conduit in March: DIA Lasernet and Superseed.

DIA Lasernet

DIA Lasernet is the rollup powering the DIA oracle architecture. DIA is making oracles permissionless, trustless, and secure. Anyone can deploy oracle smart contracts on Lasernet, and all oracle data is posted onchain for transparency and verification. Learn more about DIA Lasernet here.

Superseed

Superseed is a new DeFi ecosystem with zero-interest, self-repaying loans. Users who take out over-collateralized loans using the Superseed token get 0% interest, and daily auctions for the Superseed token go toward repaying active loans. Learn more about Superseed here. 

New Marketplace partner: Proof of Play VRF

Proof of Play runs the world’s biggest onchain game, and now they’re making one of their key pieces of infra available to all: the VRF oracle. Proof of Play VRF is 500% faster and more affordable than alternatives. Plus, it’s not just for games – any onchain app that needs verifiable randomness can use it. See it on Conduit Marketplace!

Conduit Blog research and stories

Onchain gaming cost comparison: Shared blockchain vs. Dedicated rollup

We used data from real games to compare onchain costs for running a web3 game as a protocol on a shared blockchain versus a dedicated rollup. The results: Rollups can save game developers over 90%. Read the full blog to see how much a popular game like Pixels could save by trading gas fees for cheap DA under the rollup framework.

The RWA vision: Why finance is better onchain

We used onchain data to show how RWAs are already improving tradfi offerings. The key takeaways: Democratization of institutional-grade investment products, expansion of yield opportunities with stablecoins, and permissioning to help financial institutions get onchain safely. Read the full blog here.

Blackbird Flynet explained

Blackbird is bringing web3 to the masses with an onchain restaurant loyalty app better than any in web2. Read our blog to learn how we teamed up with Blackbird to build the chain and how its rollup stack enables a better dining experience.

Appchains explained

Read our comprehensive guide to appchains to learn how appchains help scale Ethereum and give developers better control of UX. We also break down the most popular appchain frameworks and share examples of notable projects!
