Six ChainSafe Alternatives for Web3 Gaming Infrastructure

ChainSafe has been a leading provider of Web3 gaming infrastructure and tools, but its services may not be the best fit for every game developer. In this article, we'll explore six alternative platforms that offer enhanced gaming-focused infrastructure and tools.

The first platform is thirdweb, a modular Web3 development framework that offers smart contracts, SDKs, templates, and deployment tools specifically designed for gaming apps. Unlike ChainSafe, which focuses on the lower layer of the stack, storage, and infrastructure, thirdweb focuses on application development.

Another alternative to ChainSafe is Sequence (by Horizon), a cryptowallet and gaming platform that provides players with easy access to in-game items and rewards via smart contract wallets. Sequence offers tools for inventory systems, reward and marketplace components, and has proprietary technology including MPC wallets and gasless transactions.

Moralis is another Web3 backend service that provides APIs for various services such as user authentication, NFTs, balances, transactions, and more. Moralis uses high-performance indexing, unified API bridge, and real-time data streams to enable seamless integration of profile sheets, inventory, and other game data.

Alchemy (with LYNC) offers enterprise-grade blockchain infrastructure with gaming modules like wallets, player identity, and asset management. Alchemy provides supernodes, reliable RPC, indexing, and MPC wallets for high scalability and low-latency transactions.

Openfort is a Web3 gaming wallet and account abstraction layer that provides programmable player accounts, single sign-on experience, and inventory management. Openfort uses the ERC-4337 account abstraction standard and offers SDKs for Unity and Unreal gaming engines.
