Drift Zone, the Web3 gaming studio building the next evolution of Gacha games, has secured a $190,000 grant to integrate its rapidly-growing gaming ecosystem with the Sei network. With over 500,000 players already active in its Telegram mini-game Drift Zone: Arena, the studio is demonstrating how familiar gaming experiences can unlock mainstream Web3 adoption.

The studio’s approach centers on enhancing popular Gacha mechanics – which drove over $4.4B in revenue across Asia last year – with real rewards powered by blockchain technology. By building on Sei, both Drift Zone: Arena and the upcoming collectible auto-battler Drift Zone: Origins will leverage the network’s 380-millisecond block finality and process up to 12,500 transactions per second to deliver Web2-like gaming experiences with Web3 benefits.
