On-chain games are becoming increasingly popular as they are ubiquitous and can be played from any device connected to the internet.

This capability sets an example for other apps, such as collaborative productivity tools.

It demonstrates many interesting new use cases for NFTs, such as using an NFT for an app’s interface. Ethos was programmed as the first wholly on-chain Sui game. Each newly minted Sui 8192 object contains the game logic, while the interface was coded in javascript, CSS, and HTML.
Sui is a layer-1 blockchain launched in May 2023 and was touted at the time as a “Solana killer.” SUI prices were down 0.5% on the day at $0.678 at the time of writing.
