In the rapidly evolving world of Web3 gaming, the term non-custodial is often used as a marketing buzzword. Yet for a platform hosting thousands of titles from various developers, the technical reality is far more complex. The primary challenge lies in ensuring that a small indie studio follows the same rigorous security standards as a major developer without creating a fragmented, risky experience for the player.

Playnance, which recently made its first formal public announcement after operating in stealth since 2020, claims to have resolved this by building a Web2-to- Web3 gaming infrastructure layer. The company’s focus is on onboarding mainstream users into on-chain environments through familiar interfaces, allowing them to participate in blockchain systems without needing to understand the underlying mechanics.

According to a statement shared via X, the platform integrates with more than 30 game studios and reports processing approximately 1.5 million on-chain transactions per day for more than 10,000 daily active users.

The core of the Playnance philosophy is a hard line between what a game studio does and where the money lives. In traditional gaming, a developer typically manages a user’s wallet or balance on its own private servers, which creates a massive single point of failure. Playnance flips this script by ensuring that every game on the platform—including those on its flagship products like PlayW3 and Up vs Down—interacts through the same on-chain vaults.

“We separate gameplay (the studios) from value custody (the blockchain), ensuring consistency and security across all titles,” explains Roman Levi, CTO at Playnance.

While a studio designs the levels and the mechanics, they never actually touch the tokens. All balances live in on-chain Sessionvault and Treasuryvault contracts on Playblock, meaning settlement is enforced by audited smart contracts rather than a studio’s individual backend.

To prevent a fragmented experience, Playnance enforces what Levi calls a platform-wide non-custodial architecture. This starts at the user layer, where every interaction is handled through established providers such as Metamask, Coinbase Wallet, or Web3Auth social logins. Because all interactions use ECDSA signatures, the private keys—and therefore the power—always remain in the users’ hands.

This infrastructure is designed to support high- volume consumer activity while remaining invisible to the average player. “Our focus was on building systems that people could use without needing to understand blockchain mechanics,” says Pini Peter, CEO of Playnance. “We prioritized live operation and user behavior over public announcements, and this is the first time we are formally introducing the company after reaching scale.”

The most striking aspect of the Playnance model is its inherent skepticism of the game developers themselves. In Levi’s view, true security is a byproduct of restricted permissions. He notes that game studios can only submit outcome instructions via signed API requests that are re-validated by Playnance before they ever reach the chain.

Under this zero-trust framework, a studio is physically unable to move user funds, fake a user’s balance, or inject unauthorized contract calls. They are restricted to the role of “instruction providers,” while the platform acts as a high-security gatekeeper. The security does not end when a transaction is signed; it is maintained by a robust “Watchdog” layer that performs real-time fraud checks and consistency audits.
