Hey @pithecus we are back online and have a couple of things to report, will be posted this week.
Looking forward to learn more about upcoming activities!
Thanks for the response, @2075, looking forward to!
Donât think we have any functioning game on Astar I am aware of.
@SFY_Labs possible collaboration opportunity with the game you are developing
sure, why not not. Collaborations are welcome
Hi @2075
Itâs been a little while since weâve seen any updates from GameDao on the forum or social channels. Could you please share a detailed summary of the milestones youâve achieved on Astar/Sonieum since GameDao dApp listing, along with the challenges youâre currently facing and whatâs planned for the coming months?
It would also be great if you could publish a roadmap covering at least the next 6 to 12 months.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks @Mouthmouth68 , I also look forward to seeing any updates from GameDAO!
Hey there,
it has been quite some time, we have been busy bees and look forward to the coming updates for you, please give us some more time to prepare. For those who followed our github and some of the channels, you may be already in the know. We are currently working on the deployment and simply need more time than expected, due to other obligations.
If you are interested, we have also started an open discussion on telegram, working in the open on some games and - working title - the Soneium Gaming Collective: Telegram: View @SoneiumGamingCollective.
Regarding the deployment on Soneium we are just limited on the resource side, but in general most of the protocol is refactored to EVM, with some enhancements, like staking.
Looking forward to give you a full update in a week or so.
Greetings + thanks for your ongoing support!

Thanks for the update, Marco. Really looking forward to seeing GameDAO live on Soneium asap!
Thanks for the thoughtful update! ![]()
Itâs great to hear about the progress â especially the refactoring to EVM and the added staking functionality. Totally understand that deployments can take longer than expected, and I really appreciate the transparency and dedication despite the resource challenges. It had been more than 2 weeks now from your last post, do you have any update or any estimation when the updates will be posted? Thanks
Hey @DrCAO fair question, we have just returned from off grid travels, we would like to get out info asap, also considering the Gaming Collective and other discussions and of course the next dApp Staking season. Catch you soon! Marco
That sounds good. Whenever the team is available, could you please help update us on the progress - how things are going, including any limitations or obstacles youâre facing? This way we can work together to find solutions. =)
Hi @2075
To help everyone better follow the projectâs progress, could you please use this post GameDAO dAppStaking Proposal as a base to share which milestones have been completed, along with links to the related results or updates? That would make it much easier for the community to see how things are evolving.
Also, since the $GAME token distribution was initially planned to begin in early 2025, could you please provide an update on its current status?
Thanks in advance for taking the time to update the community â itâs much appreciated!
Hey @Mouthmouth68, cheers for asking.
Year in Review
GameDAOâs had a proper journey over the past 12 months. Weâd initially planned to leverage 2024âs staking rewards to build a small team focused on two core objectives: discovering and supporting games interested in building on Astar/Soneium, and porting the GameDAO protocol to a more flexible setup. The reality? Market conditions and shrinking staking rewards meant weâve had to adapt our approach.
Key Observations
Weâve noticed limited ecosystem engagement across several initiatives:
-
Treasury design discussions yielded minimal interaction (perhaps we couldâve pushed harder here)
-
Our year-end gamified staking game received modest uptake
-
The managed gaming treasury proposal faced headwinds - with only 30k in grants available, attracting serious gaming projects proves challenging when competitors offer pools north of ÂŁ1m
What Weâve Delivered
Despite constraints, weâve cracked on with:
-
GAME token listing for eligible stakers
-
Protocol migration progress (see GitHub - gamedaoco/gamedao-protocol: GameDAO Protocol. Opinionated community governance, fundraising and engagement. For Polkadot parachains and evm based networks.)
-
dApp Staking Dashboard creation
-
Ongoing Netflix IP collaboration (still in development)
Moving Forward
Weâre now focusing on:
-
Finalising the protocol with staking mechanics
-
Completing the web frontend
-
Refining our Soneium game collective proposal based on stakeholder feedback
-
Strengthening community engagement
After ranking amongst the top three dApp Staking projects for nearly a year, we reckon weâve made solid use of the rewards. Now weâre keen to explore treasury support options to properly validate our thesis together.
Your thoughts and backing would be brilliant - letâs build something substantial for gaming on Astar and Soneium.
