| contents | In the realm of open and composable gaming, we envision platforms where users actively expand, create, engage, and immerse themselves in a rich world of entertainment. One promising avenue for achieving this vision is through fully on-chain (FOC) games, where both game state and logic reside on the blockchain, maximizing composability. However, we must grapple with inherent limitations and trade-offs, particularly in terms of costs and scalability. This paper proposes a framework that leverages the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) to scale FOC games without state fragmentation or compromised trust assumptions. The framework introduces a systematic approach for discovering, utilizing, and publishing modular pieces of logic as components deeply rooted in the Entity-Component-System (ECS) pattern. To enhance scalability and resource optimization, we introduce the concept of Ephemeral Rollups (ERs) that overcome the tradeoffs of L2 horizontal scaling. These dedicated runtimes can be customized to provide higher operational speed, configurable ticking mechanisms, provable sessions and gasless transactions without composability-scalability tradeoffs. |
