Have you ever had such an experience? You suddenly want to play a top-tier 3A game,
but find that your laptop or phone simply can't handle it, and a gaming PC that costs thousands of dollars
is daunting? More than 3 billion people worldwide face
similar dilemmas: they love games but are blocked by device thresholds. Traditional
cloud gaming services, although trying to solve this problem, are often limited by high latency
and expensive infrastructure, so the experience is always lacking. At a time when traditional cloud gaming
repeatedly runs into obstacles, this Crypto project @playonshaga is
trying to bring a new experience to gamers. When Google Stadia
faded away, and GeForce NOW is still troubled by latency issues, this
Solana-based decentralized cloud gaming platform has delivered an impressive
achievement: 750,000+ registered users, 420,000+ wallet connections, and 230,000+
hours of game time. More importantly, the $SHAG token will officially launch its presale on August
20th through Metaplex Genesis, which marks a key node in the
DePIN-ization of cloud gaming that is about to arrive.

Shaga wants to use the world's idle gaming PCs as nodes to build a high-
efficiency, low-latency computing network. Imagine that high-end computer in your home that occasionally gathers
dust can become a 'cloud node', providing game streaming services to nearby players.
At the same time, as a player, you can use any device,
mobile phone, tablet, or even an old laptop, to connect to this network and enjoy those
games that were once out of reach. What's even cooler is that users who contribute computing power can also
get rewards, forming a cycle of 'making money by playing games'. This
is not science fiction, but a model that Shaga is already practicing, based on Solana
and stood out in the Solana hackathon, proving its technical
strength.

Speaking of actual performance, Shaga's data impressed me. Currently, there are
over 750,000 registered accounts, 420,000 wallet connections, 14 billion GLOB points have been issued,
game streaming time has accumulated to 200,000 hours, covering 170
countries and regions. These numbers are not made up out of thin air, but the embodiment of real user
participation. For example, through their GLOB platform
(https://glob.shaga.xyz/main), you can play games, host
lobbies, interact socially, and earn rewards. The latest GLOB 3.0 version
has upgraded task progress display and global dynamic sharing, making community participation stronger.
I've tried their Android and iOS App, and the experience of switching devices is
seamless, with latency so low that you can hardly feel it. This is due to the design of
nearby access nodes, which is much more flexible than traditional centralized services.

The launch of the presale on August 20 marks Shaga's transition from the testing phase to more
widespread application, and I think this is a good opportunity for investors,
especially considering the explosive potential of the cloud gaming market. From 2023 to 2032,
the compound annual growth rate of cloud gaming is expected to exceed 40%, and this blue ocean is
waiting to be explored. Shaga is not just providing services, it is also capturing a
bigger trend: combining AI to optimize bandwidth (which can halve consumption), making the network more
efficient, while generating valuable game data, which can feed back into the ecosystem,
forming a self-reinforcing flywheel. More players bring more data, and stronger
services attract more people to join.

Why is Shaga so attractive? It not only solves the pain points of players,
but also opens up new avenues for creators and node contributors. Anyone can become
a streamer, invite friends to join the game with one click, or run the Windows node
App to share idle resources. There are nearly 60 million gaming computers idle
around the world, and Shaga is turning this potential into actual value, building a
'contribute-to-earn' model. This reminds me of the gig economy era of Crypto,
where users are no longer just consumers, but part of the ecosystem. Compared to
some DePIN projects that only stay in concept, Shaga's implementation speed is
faster because the barrier to entry is low: you don't need to buy expensive equipment, you can participate as long as you have a computer,
and network expansion naturally accelerates.

Of course, Shaga has more innovations. For example, their P2P technology models
a local area network environment, allowing remote players to interact as smoothly as silk; NGC technology
significantly reduces bandwidth requirements, ensuring smooth operation even on ordinary networks;
plus multi-platform support (macOS is coming soon), truly realizing
the freedom of 'ubiquitous' gaming. These technologies are not for showing off, but
to improve the user experience in a real way, targeting the vast
crowd who lack hardware but love games.

According to the Frost & Sullivan report, the compound annual growth rate of the global cloud gaming market from 2023 to 2032 is expected to exceed 40%;
3 billion potential players worldwide who lack high-end equipment are the next huge demand to be released.
Shaga's C2E (Contribute-to-Earn) model allows every idle terminal to
participate in the construction of cloud gaming infrastructure and share the market dividend together. At the
same time, the constant stream of game data on the network will provide
a constant stream of power for AI vision and interaction models, accelerating the arrival of the next generation of cloud gaming experiences.
