The recent move by Gate.io aligns with broader trends in the blockchain sector.

The partnership targeted the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and Web3 features into the Sui network.

Lately, a common way blockchain developers have been onboarding users into Web3 is through games. These projects have blended gaming mechanics with Web3 traits, allowing players to earn spendable tokens while they enjoy their gaming experience.
