Potential "Black Myth" Projects in the Web3 Space

With the explosive popularity of "Black Myth: Wukong", the Web3 sector is also brewing a batch of projects that could become pioneers of industry transformation. These projects not only have the potential to lead the industry's development but may also reshape market rules in the future. Let's explore several fields and projects in the Web3 world that could become the next "Black Myth".

Scalability of Bitcoin and the Development of DeFi

Since its inception, Bitcoin has faced increasingly severe scalability challenges as the market size continues to expand. The acceptance of Bitcoin in traditional finance is gradually increasing, and the scale of Bitcoin ETFs is also continuing to grow. At the same time, in the native ecosystem of cryptocurrency, emerging assets such as BRC-20 tokens and rune tokens are beginning to shine, enriching the Bitcoin ecosystem and bringing more possibilities for its future development.

However, the biggest challenge for Bitcoin remains the scalability issue. To address this problem, various teams are researching different solutions such as the Lightning Network, Stacks, RGB, Citrea, and Merlin. These technologies aim to enhance Bitcoin's transaction speed and efficiency, reduce transaction costs, and thus strengthen its application prospects in global payments and decentralized finance.

In the DeFi space, Bitcoin is also gradually expanding its market. Although Ethereum remains the primary platform for DeFi, Bitcoin is enhancing its influence in the DeFi ecosystem through projects like BounceBit and Babylon. These projects not only promote the application of Bitcoin in decentralized finance but may also attract more developers and users to pay attention to Bitcoin's potential.

Deepening of Ownership Economy

With the development of blockchain technology, ownership economy is becoming an important trend in the Web3 domain. Through blockchain, users can regain control over resource sovereignty that has traditionally been held by large enterprises, such as personal data, creative content, and computing resources. This new ownership economy model is expected to have a profound impact on existing business models and social structures in the future.

Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN) and Decentralized Social Media (DeSoc) are two important areas in the ownership economy. DePIN aims to provide practical utility through decentralized networks, such as distributed computing, storage, and communication services. As the infrastructure matures, DePIN is expected to achieve large-scale adoption in the coming years, attracting a significant number of users and investors.

In the field of decentralized social media, the launch of platforms like Farcaster marks an increase in user interest in decentralized platforms. These platforms not only protect user privacy but also avoid common issues of content censorship and algorithmic bias found in traditional social media platforms. As the user base expands, DeSoc platforms may become the primary form of social media in the future.

Tokenization of Real World Assets (RWA)

The tokenization of real-world assets (RWA) is an important application of blockchain technology. By bringing off-chain assets onto the blockchain, RWA tokenization can enhance the transparency and efficiency of assets, and introduce new opportunities for asset composability and potential use cases. Despite the challenges posed by rising interest rates in the global economy, RWA tokenization projects remain attractive, particularly in the field of tokenized government bonds.

Institutional investors are increasingly interested in RWA, with many organizations accelerating the adoption of RWA tokenization technology. In addition, the development of related infrastructure such as decentralized identity, oracle, and interoperability solutions is also providing strong support for the RWA ecosystem. The improvement of these infrastructures will make the application of RWA tokenization more widespread, thereby promoting the development of the entire blockchain industry.

The Booming Development of Web3 Games

Web3 games have developed rapidly in recent years as an important application area of blockchain technology. The number of players continues to reach new highs, especially with hyper-casual games like Hamster Kombat and Notcoin attracting a large number of users. However, the strong open in-game economic mechanisms are still not fully formed. Nevertheless, projects like Pixels and Parallel TCG have successfully built large communities and demonstrated the immense potential of Web3 games.

With the success of "Black Myth: Wukong," the Web3 gaming sector may witness a new wave of development, especially in the area of domestically produced Web3 games. Here are a few projects worth paying attention to:

Matr1x Fire: An FPS shooting mobile game launched by the Web3 cultural entertainment platform MATR1X, focusing on PVP multiplayer competition and PVE casual gameplay. Most team members come from Tencent and have extensive experience in the development and operation of shooting mobile games. Matr1x Fire not only showcases technical strength in the Web2 domain but also brings this experience into the Web3 gaming space, potentially becoming a phenomenal game in the future.

Mahjong Meta: A Web3 gaming platform focused on Mahjong esports, aimed at providing players with an on-chain Mahjong theme park. Unlike traditional shooting esports games, Mahjong Meta is more suitable for long-term users. By integrating esports mechanisms, the platform can attract and retain players, showing great potential for long-term operations.

Seraph: In the Darkness: A blockchain-based dark fantasy ARPG developed by Actoz. Actoz is a well-known online game company in South Korea, having developed classic online games such as "Legend". Seraph not only continues the traditional dark style gaming experience but also introduces new gameplay and economic models through blockchain technology, with the potential to become a representative work of blockchain games in the future.

MetaCene: An MMORPG set in a surreal post-apocalyptic society, where players will interact with various NFTs in the game to redefine civilization. The emergence of MetaCene signifies the arrival of a player-centric new era, which could become another "Black Myth" in the Web3 gaming space.

Conclusion

The success of "Black Myth: Wukong" has shown us how to attract global attention through innovation and a unique cultural background. In the Web3 space, we are also seeing some potential "Black Myth" projects rising. Whether it's the scalability of Bitcoin and the development of DeFi, the deepening of the ownership economy, the tokenization of real-world assets, or the booming development of Web3 games, these areas may lead industry change in the future and become new market barometers.

These potential "Black Myth" projects in the Web3 space not only represent technological advancements, but more importantly, they will redefine how we understand and engage with the digital economy. These projects will bring greater autonomy, broader application scenarios, and a more open and decentralized future. Over time, these "Black Myth" projects may gradually emerge as iconic projects that lead the era.
