Curious if Anyone’s Explored Speedrunning in Blockchain Games?

I’ve been part of the Web3 and game dev scene for a while now, and I’ve been thinking about how speedrunning could intersect with blockchain-based games. Most blockchain games today focus on PvP, resource mining, or trading — but the idea of building or playing a Web3 game where time-based challenges or skill-based runs could be provably recorded on-chain seems really interesting.

Some thoughts I had:

  • Could blockchain enable verifiable speedrun records without relying on centralized systems?
  • Has anyone here tried speedrunning a game that has Web3 elements (like on-chain logic, NFT items, or play-to-earn models)?
  • Would you even play a speedrun-based blockchain game, or is that too niche?

Not trying to promote anything — just curious if anyone’s come across cool projects or thought about how decentralized games could make speedrunning more secure or innovative.

Would love to hear your thoughts or any games you think blend both worlds
