Fantom Opens up a New Horizon for Multiplayer Game Projects Such as MangaMon
New York, New York–(Newsfile Corp. – April 7, 2022) – Fantom announces a new horizon for multiplayer game projects including MangaMon. After leading a successful Airdrop event and introducing the project to the game world, the MangaMon team has attracted a large amount of fans and supporters. The project’s goal is to develop games with inspiration taken from well-known games in the last 2 decades.

With the high amount of players joining MangaMon, a problem arises: network congestion and transaction bottleneck. MangaMon integrated many features for their game which allow players to own an NFT as an in-game character and combine two or more NFTs together to upgrade their character to another level. Smart contracts are utilized to take away the NFTs used in combining and rewarding new NFTs to users’ wallets.
This “leveling” function will create transactions on the game’s network, and may cause users to experience sluggish transaction time, especially when ten of thousands of players are competing, battling and upgrading at the same time. And of course there are so many more functions that a player can do. Users can browse the NFT marketplace and buy a new character, potions and other items to upgrade NFTs. Then users will bring the newly bought character into, for example, a PvP match to test out the power of the character. The key point here is “simultaneously”.
The MangaMon team aspires to provide users a smooth experience playing games and that is why MangaMon chose Fantom to be the entrusted blockchain for the MangaMon Game Ecosystem. With the innovative Lachesis consensus algorithm combining the Asynchronous Byzantine Fault-Tolerant and the Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG), Fantom greatly reduces the transaction time to 1 to 2 seconds and more importantly, the gas fee. To quote Fantom on the problem:
“Users will not (and should not) pay hefty transaction fees when buying or selling an item.”
As an EVM-compatible secure and decentralized platform offering 1-second transaction finality and near-zero fees, Fantom offers reliably consistent and smooth performance even during periods of extremely high traffic. Moreover, the Lachesis algorithm also strengthens the security for players’ profiles and assets, decreasing the chance of transactions lost and hacks – problems that can seriously undermine a gaming platform that offers players options to buy or earn in-game items.
MangaMon also considered the expandability of the Fantom blockchain. With a long term plan already set in action, 5 different games on the Game Metaverse with fully inter-transferable assets between games, multiple seasonal PvP events and of course a steady stream of new contents, MangaMon needs to be built with expandability in mind.
The Fantom Blockchain once again delivered. The Lachesis algorithm solves the expandability problem innately. No matter how large the MangaMon Game Metaverse is, with the exceptionally high transaction speed provided by the DAG and aBFT technology, gamers’ experience won’t be thwarted. Additionally, Fantom is EVM-compatible. This allows developers to easily create, maintain and upgrade their dApps on the chain. MangaMon can release new content and integrate more functionality into the Game Metaverse without too much hassle. Not only that, fans can also create, too. Easy to learn and master, fans can show their contribution to the community via fan-made gamemode and assets, when MangaMon releases a “fans-creations” update. This can be a new source of income for users; a “Create-to-Earn” title could be earned from MangaMon easily.
MangaMon hopes to be able to expand and develop their Game Metaverse on Fantom and provide the MangaMon community with the best experience. The team aims to always improve and continue to work hard with their motto at the core: “Free-for-Fans, Made-for-Fans, and All-on-Fantom”.

Blocks & Headlines: Today in Blockchain – May 29, 2025 (Vaulta, Fosun, Signing Day Sports, Credit Unions, Gaming Innovations)
Welcome to Blocks & Headlines, your definitive daily briefing on the latest blockchain breakthroughs, cryptocurrency developments, and Web3 innovations. In today’s edition—May 29, 2025—we explore five pivotal stories shaping the decentralized economy:
- FT Analysis: Crypto Regulation and Institutional Adoption
- Signing Day Sports Seals Deal with Blockchain Digital Infrastructure
- Vaulta & Fosun Partner to Power Hong Kong’s Blockchain Backbone
- Transforming Online Gaming: Blockchain’s Next Frontier
- Credit Unions Embrace Blockchain for Trustworthy Financial Services
This op-ed–style roundup delivers concise yet insightful coverage, critical analysis, and expert opinion on each development’s relevance within the broader blockchain and cryptocurrency ecosystem.
1. FT Analysis: Crypto Regulation and Institutional Adoption
Overview. The Financial Times reports on evolving global regulatory landscapes and their impact on institutional cryptocurrency adoption. FT highlights how major funds and asset managers navigate compliance frameworks in the US, EU, and Asia to integrate digital assets into traditional portfolios.
Source: Financial Times
Detailed Analysis. As regulators across jurisdictions craft tailored guidelines—from MiCA in Europe to the SEC’s evolving crypto classifications in the US—institutions face a balancing act between innovation and compliance:
- MiCA’s Market Integrity Measures: New EU rules mandate clear disclosures for stablecoin issuers and exchange operators, raising the bar for consumer protection.
- SEC’s Custody Interpretations: Emerging guidance on digital asset custody models, including qualified custodians versus self-custody frameworks.
- Asia’s Sandbox Approaches: Hong Kong and Singapore expand sandbox programs, offering controlled environments for DeFi and tokenization trials.
Opinion. Regulatory clarity is the linchpin for institutional inflows. While stringent frameworks may seem burdensome, they ultimately foster market confidence and prevent systemic risks. Asset managers should proactively engage with policymakers, leveraging sandbox insights to shape pragmatic, innovation-friendly regulations.
2. Signing Day Sports Seals Deal with Blockchain Digital Infrastructure
Overview. According to TradingView’s Reuters feed, Signing Day Sports has executed a definitive agreement to acquire Blockchain Digital Infrastructure, a profitable data-hosting specialist serving DeFi and NFT platforms.

Detailed Analysis. The acquisition underscores the rising value of specialized blockchain infrastructure:
- Scalable Data Nodes: Blockchain Digital Infrastructure operates 150+ high-throughput nodes, ensuring low-latency data delivery for real-time sports NFT drops.
- Profitability Metrics: The company reported $32 million in EBITDA last fiscal year, highlighting sustainable revenue in a niche market.
- Strategic Synergies: Signing Day Sports plans to integrate hosted nodes into its upcoming sports collectibles marketplace, guaranteeing seamless token minting during high-traffic events.
Opinion. In Web3, infrastructure is the invisible backbone. For NFT marketplaces and DeFi protocols, node reliability and data throughput directly impact user experience—and ultimately, revenue. This move positions Signing Day Sports to compete at scale, setting a precedent for vertical integration in blockchain hosting.
3. Vaulta & Fosun Partner to Power Hong Kong’s Blockchain Backbone
Overview. Coindesk reports that Vaulta, a leading digital asset platform, is teaming up with Fosun International to develop blockchain infrastructure for Hong Kong’s emerging crypto hub.

- Cross-Game Asset Portability: Standards like ERC-1155 enable items to move seamlessly between compatible titles, fostering interoperability.
Opinion. Gaming is blockchain’s killer app. Beyond speculative hype, tokenization can democratize game economies, allowing genuine ownership and secondary markets. Developers must, however, tackle scalability and user onboarding frictions—layer-2 solutions and intuitive wallets are essential for mass adoption.
5. Credit Unions Embrace Blockchain for Trustworthy Financial Services
Overview. AP’s business coverage highlights several US credit unions piloting blockchain-based platforms to enhance transaction transparency, reduce settlement times, and cut cross-border remittance fees.

- Remittance Solutions: Deployment of Stellar-based rails reduces remittance costs by up to 60%, benefiting diaspora communities.
- Member Identity Management: Verifiable credential systems streamline KYC processes, reducing onboarding time from days to hours.
Opinion. As community-focused institutions, credit unions can leverage blockchain to reassert their value proposition—offering cost-effective, transparent services that rival large banks and fintechs. Success will hinge on member education and seamless integration with legacy core banking systems.
