Key Takeaways
- BNB Chain has the most games in April 2025.
- Its biggest exclusive game is Karat Galaxy.
- How does BNB Chain’s activity compare to 2021?
Axie Infinity’s popularity gave crypto gaming its breakout moment in 2021. That hype has quickly faded, and the sector has not performed well in the current market cycle.
While Axie Infinity and Ronin have fallen by the wayside, other chains have experienced growth, and no one illustrates this better than the BNB chain.
This article will examine BNB Chain’s rise as an unlikely GameFi frontrunner, focusing on metrics related to the chain and its leading games.
BNB Chain Leading
Despite a significant decrease in transactions and volume, the number of monthly Web3 games has increased considerably in the past five years.
Over 1,400 games were played in March 2025, an increase of roughly 40% from the volume and transaction peak of December 2021.

This month, the BNB chain leads with 245 games. While the “Other” category has 464, BNB is the single-chain leader.
Polygon (MATIC) is in second place, followed by Ethereum (ETH) and Wax.
Despite the high number of games, there is a significant decrease in yearly transactions and growth rate.
They fell precipitously in 2022 and 2023, but have rebounded somewhat in 2024, a positive sign for the future trend.
In the past 30 days, BNB has led the total number of unique wallet interactions (UAW) to 9 million. It is also second in the number of smart contracts and third in the number of transactions.
What Are the Biggest Games
The three biggest games on the BNB chain are World of Dypians, SERAPH and Egg Drop. The rankings are based on the number of users and transactions.
However, all three games are present in multiple chains. Karat Galaxy is the biggest game exclusive to BNB.
Karat Galaxy has also seen its volume dwindle since its launch in August 2024. The decline is evident in 2025, which, if it holds, will likely break the trend of increasing volume that started last year.
While daily volume crossed $15,000 in 2024, it is barely $5,000 in 2025.
Also, the numbers are small, compared to the World of Dypians, which had more than $100,000 in daily volume in 2024 in the BNB chain alone.
Thus, although the BNB chain has notable new games, no popular exclusives exist.
Mixed Signs for BNB
The number of games has grown since 2021, and the BNB chain is one of the most prominent chains when looking at various metrics.
However, the sharp decline in gaming token prices means that volume and transaction value are below their peak of 2021.
While the BNB chain leads in the number of games it offers, it does not have a flagship offering similar to Pixels or Axie Infinity in Ronin, raising doubts about its ability to stand out.
