We integrate secure, scalable blockchain technology into your game, creating true digital ownership that players love and new revenue streams you control.
Start Your Web3 GameTrusted by Global Leaders and Innovative Startups
The Game Has Changed. Are You Ready to Own It?
The era of "play-to-earn" is evolving. Today's players demand more than a grind; they want genuine ownership, provable scarcity, and a real stake in the worlds they love. Simply adding NFTs isn't enough. The future of gaming lies in sustainable, player-centric economies built on "play-and-own" principles. This is where blockchain transcends hype and becomes a powerful tool for engagement, retention, and monetization.
At Errna, we don't just build blockchain features; we architect player-owned economies. We help you navigate the complexities of Web3, from selecting the right high-speed blockchain to designing tokenomics that enhance your gameplay, not detract from it. Let's build a game that doesn't just attract players, but turns them into loyal stakeholders.

Proven Success in Web3 Gaming
We deliver tangible results that boost engagement, create new revenue, and build sustainable player economies.
AAA Studio Boosts Player Retention by 40% with NFT Asset Integration
Industry: AAA Gaming, Action RPG
Client Overview: A major game publisher with a flagship action RPG title wanted to introduce digital ownership without disrupting their existing player base or game balance. They were concerned about the negative perception of NFTs and needed a solution that added real value to the player experience.
"Errna understood that we couldn't just shoehorn NFTs into our game. They helped us design a 'play-and-own' system for cosmetic items that players actually wanted. The results in player engagement and retention have been phenomenal."
Problem: The client faced declining long-term player engagement and wanted to create new monetization channels without resorting to aggressive microtransactions. They needed to reward their most loyal players with something of tangible, lasting value.
Key Challenges:
- Integrating blockchain with a complex, live-service game engine.
- Onboarding millions of non-crypto-native players seamlessly.
- Ensuring the NFT system felt rewarding, not like a cash grab.
- Preventing security vulnerabilities in the new marketplace.
Our Solution:
We developed a comprehensive strategy focused on player-centric value:
- Built a custom sidechain to handle millions of transactions with zero gas fees for players.
- Created an embedded, non-custodial wallet system using social logins for easy onboarding.
- Designed a system where players could mint their hard-earned, rare cosmetic items into NFTs, giving them true ownership and tradeability.
- Launched a secure, in-game marketplace with a royalty system that provided the studio with a new, sustainable revenue stream.
Indie RPG Achieves Sustainable Economy with Custom Tokenomics
Industry: Indie Gaming, Role-Playing Game
Client Overview: An ambitious indie studio was developing a new fantasy RPG and wanted to build it from the ground up with a player-owned economy. They had a great game concept but lacked the expertise to design a tokenomics model that would be sustainable long-term.
"The tokenomics model Errna designed is the bedrock of our game. It perfectly balances rewards for players with long-term economic stability. We couldn't have launched with this level of confidence without them."
Problem: The studio had seen many play-to-earn games fail due to hyperinflation and flawed economic models. They needed a dual-token system (utility and governance) that would incentivize gameplay, reward stakeholders, and maintain value over time.
Key Challenges:
- Designing an inflation-resistant utility token.
- Creating meaningful utility for the governance token.
- Balancing token sinks and faucets to maintain a healthy economy.
- Ensuring the tokenomics were fair and transparent to the community.
Our Solution:
Our team acted as strategic consultants and developers:
- Conducted an in-depth analysis of the game's core loops to model the flow of resources.
- Designed a dual-token model: an uncapped utility token for in-game rewards and a capped governance token for DAO voting and staking.
- Implemented multiple "token sinks" (e.g., crafting, repairs, upgrades) to remove the utility token from circulation and combat inflation.
- Developed the smart contracts for the token, staking platform, and DAO voting mechanism, followed by a rigorous third-party audit.
Esports Platform Launches Secure, On-Chain Tournament System
Industry: Esports, Competitive Gaming
Client Overview: A growing esports platform wanted to differentiate itself by offering tournaments with transparent prize pools and instant, automated payouts. They needed a system that was provably fair and could handle complex payout structures for various competitive games.
"Errna's on-chain tournament solution has been a game-changer for us. Players trust our platform because they can see the prize pools on the blockchain and know they'll be paid instantly. It's a huge competitive advantage."
Problem: Traditional tournament payouts were slow, manual, and often lacked transparency, leading to disputes and player distrust. The platform needed an automated, secure, and verifiable system to manage registrations, prize pools, and winnings.
Key Challenges:
- Ensuring the security of prize pool funds held in escrow.
- Automating complex payout logic based on tournament rankings.
- Integrating with a game's API to verify match results automatically.
- Providing a simple user interface for players to join and claim winnings.
Our Solution:
We engineered an end-to-end on-chain tournament solution:
- Developed a suite of smart contracts on Polygon for managing tournament creation, escrowing entry fees, and distributing prize money.
- Created a secure oracle service to fetch match results from the game's official API and report them to the smart contract.
- Built a user-friendly dashboard for players to connect their wallets, register for tournaments, and claim their winnings with a single click.
- Implemented a DAO-based dispute resolution mechanism for edge cases, ensuring community-driven fairness.

Frequently Asked Questions
The "best" blockchain depends entirely on your game's specific needs. For games requiring high transaction speeds and low costs, like fast-paced RPGs or strategy games, we often recommend Layer-2 solutions like Polygon or high-throughput chains like Solana. For games where decentralization and security are paramount, the Ethereum mainnet (with L2 scaling) remains a strong choice. We conduct a thorough analysis of your game mechanics to recommend the optimal platform.
This is our top priority. We abstract away the complexity of blockchain through solutions like embedded wallets, social logins (Web3Auth), and gasless transactions. For the player, the experience feels like a traditional game. They won't need to worry about seed phrases or buying crypto on an exchange to start playing. We make Web3 invisible but powerful.
The timeline varies based on the complexity of the integration. A simple NFT minting feature for cosmetic items could take as little as 4-6 weeks. A full-fledged in-game economy with a custom marketplace and tokenomics can take 3-6 months or more. We begin with a discovery phase to provide a detailed roadmap and timeline tailored to your project.
This is the core of our tokenomics design service. We use economic modeling to balance "faucets" (how tokens/assets are created) and "sinks" (how they are removed from the game). Sinks are crucial and can include things like crafting costs, item repairs, tournament entry fees, or burning NFTs to upgrade others. A well-designed system with multiple, compelling sinks is the key to long-term economic stability.
Ongoing costs typically include blockchain node infrastructure, data indexing services, oracle maintenance, and our optional 24/7 support and maintenance retainers. We design our solutions to be cost-effective and scalable, and we provide a transparent breakdown of all potential ongoing operational costs before the project begins.
Absolutely. Upon final payment, 100% of the intellectual property, including all source code for the game integration, smart contracts, and any other developed assets, is transferred to you. We operate on a white-label basis, and our success is tied to your success.
