Architecting for On-Chain Compute
Application developers can enhance scalability by thoughtfully architecting their smart contracts for on-chain compute. By bringing essential elements on-chain, such as pivotal in-game transactions while keeping less critical components off-chain, they can leverage the advantages of blockchain, including transparency and security. For example, in the game Pirate Nation, crucial actions like winning battles are recorded on-chain, ensuring fairness and ownership. This approach allows developers to harness the capabilities of on-chain compute, enabling more players and transactions without hitting gas limits.
