The source says blockchain-based gacha platforms set a new monthly spending high in April, indicating increased user activity in this niche of crypto gaming.

Summary

Blockchain-based gacha platforms recorded an all-time high of $184 million in spending in April, according to the source. Gacha refers to systems that let users spend for randomized digital rewards, and onchain activity means those transactions are recorded on a blockchain (shared digital ledger). The report points to rising engagement in a segment of crypto gaming where users interact with smart contracts (self-executing blockchain code) for reward-based mechanics.
