Top 10 Games by UAW on Polygon

Polygon heralds itself as the gamers’ choice, thanks to its high throughput, fast transaction speed, and low fees. Planet IX, Benji Bananas, and Oath of Peak are the top 3 games on the Polygon blockchain.

Top 10 Games by UAW on BNB Chain

BNB Chain comes next to Polygon as the second most popular blockchain among gamers. Partly maybe attributed to Binance, the largest exchange globally. Era7, Meta Apes, and PlayZap Games are the most popular games deployed on the BNB Chain.

Top 10 Games by UAW on Ethereum

Ethereum hasn't fared well when it comes to NFT gaming, despite being the most widely used blockchain available among big players. This is largely because of the high transaction fees and network congestion. Ethereum doesn't even come close to the overall number of UAW when compared to Polygon and BNB Chain.
