NAUT tracks 468 crypto gaming projects: live project rows whose own name or description names an actual game, filtered down from the 732 rows that carry the Gaming tag, read on 4 November 2026. Of those 468, NAUT's data shows 222 have a launched token, 176 carry a named founder or CEO with their own page, and 197 run on BNB Chain, the chain used by more of the set than any other.
Data as of 4 November 2026, from NAUT's own project database. This web3 gaming projects list counts live rows and nothing else. The scope is live project rows tagged Gaming, case-insensitive, because the stored tag uses 2 variants of the same word. 48 of the 732 rows carry a null name or a null description and were dropped before any reading, and 216 of the 684 named rows hold the Gaming tag as a lead only: their own description names NFT tooling, brand infrastructure or a minting platform rather than a game. That leaves 468. Every figure here is a count of NAUT's own rows, so no outside source applies. NAUT Research wrote this report, and no one paid for it.
Which crypto gaming projects are on NAUT, and how was the list cut to 468?
The list starts at 732 Gaming-tagged live rows and ends at 468 after 2 cuts: 48 rows with nothing to read, then 216 rows whose own text does not name a game. The filter reads each row's name and description, so it keeps blockchain gaming companies of several kinds, studios, game platforms and single titles, and it is a text filter rather than a judgement on the product: checking the 10 best-known rows in the set by hand found 1, 
Aethir, that describes itself as decentralised cloud infrastructure for gaming and AI rather than a game, so treat 468 as the upper bound of the set. The 9 rows below are the games and game platforms from that check, ranked by the number of chains NAUT records for each. All 9 carry a launched token on NAUT's record.
| Project | Chains | Founder page |
|---|---|---|
 Axie Infinity |
5 | Yes |
 SHRAPNEL |
4 | Yes |
 The Sandbox |
4 | Yes |
 Illuvium |
3 | Yes |
 GALA |
2 | Yes |
 Pixels |
2 | Yes |
 Gods Unchained |
2 | No |
 Fusionist |
1 | Yes |
 Parallel |
0 | Yes |
8 of those 9 carry a founder or CEO page on NAUT. Gods Unchained is the exception: NAUT holds the project row and its 2 chains, Ethereum and Immutable, with no named person attached to it yet.
How many crypto gaming projects have a launched token, and how many name a founder?
222 of the 468 (47%) have a launched token and the other 246 do not. 176 of the 468 (38%) carry a named founder or CEO, and 100 of the 468 carry both, which is the group a BD team can price and reach in the same afternoon.
Contact surface across the set is wide at the account level and thinner at the company level: 467 of the 468 rows carry an X handle, and 242 carry a website domain. The handle is read straight from the stored field for each row, so it is NAUT's record of the account rather than a live check of X on 4 November 2026.
Which chains do crypto gaming projects run on?
43 distinct chains appear across the 468 rows, and a row can carry several, so the chain counts add up past 468: the 8 chains below cover 502 project-to-chain records between them. 202 of the 468 rows carry exactly 1 chain, 142 carry 2 or more, and NAUT records no chain at all for 124 of them.
BNB Chain leads with 197 of the 468 rows, 77 more than Ethereum on 120.
| Chain | Projects of the 468 | A flagship on it |
|---|---|---|
| BNB Chain | 197 | Axie Infinity |
| Ethereum | 120 | Illuvium |
| Polygon | 61 | The Sandbox |
| Solana | 44 | GALA |
| Base | 30 | The Sandbox |
| Avalanche | 20 | SHRAPNEL |
| Arbitrum | 19 | None of the 9 above |
| Immutable | 11 | Gods Unchained |
What this tells a BD team
- The 222 projects with a launched token are the ones with a treasury, a listing budget and a reason to buy tooling this quarter.
- 1 ecosystem pitch covers a lot of ground: 197 of the 468 rows sit on BNB Chain and 120 on Ethereum.
- 176 of the 468 rows name the person who signs, so roughly 2 in 5 accounts can be worked without a gatekeeper hunt.
- The 124 rows with no chain on NAUT's record need a qualifying pass on their own site before anyone writes an opener.
- Start with the 222 token projectsA launched token means a treasury, as with GALA and Pixels.
- Filter by chain197 of the 468 sit on BNB Chain and 120 on Ethereum, so 1 ecosystem angle covers most of the set.
- Open the 176 founder rowsEach names a founder or CEO with their own NAUT page and the channels NAUT holds.
- Qualify the 124 with no chainNAUT records no chain for 124 of the 468, so read their own site before the first message.
What this tells a founder raising for a game
- Your comparables are in the set already: Axie Infinity carries 5 chains on NAUT and Parallel carries none, and both have a launched token.
- The token question lands early, because 222 of the 468 have launched one and 246 have not, which sets the instrument an investor expects to discuss.
- A thin row costs you inbound: 48 of the 732 Gaming-tagged rows carry a null name or description, and 2 of them, SpaceMworld and Superboard, also carry a null slug, so they have no page an investor can open.
- 242 of the 468 carry a website domain, so a row with no domain is doing less work than it could.
- Pick your 9 comparablesRank them the way NAUT does, by chains, token state and whether a founder page exists.
- Settle the token question222 of the 468 have launched a token and 246 have not, so say which side you are on.
- Fill in your own row48 of the 732 Gaming-tagged rows carry a null name or description and cannot be found.
- Send 1 linkA NAUT project page carries the chains, the token state and the team together.

Every number in this report is a count of NAUT's own project database, read on 4 November 2026: 732 live rows carrying the Gaming tag, 468 after the name and description filter, with chains, token state, founder pages, X handles and domains read from the same rows. No outside source is cited, because no claim here comes from outside NAUT. The 1 hand check named above (10 best-known rows read against their own descriptions) is why 468 is written as an upper bound.
