Tashi Integrates with Hedera to Enable Highly Scalable Online Gaming Infrastructure

Tashi Protocol, the DePIN focussing on gaming and beyond, integrates the Hedera network to scale web3 multiplayer gaming.
Gaming was never built to last. Strained servers and exploding costs often crush entire worlds the moment someone higher up pulls the plug. Traditional Web2 gaming simply isn’t designed for permanence and freedom, rather the maximization of control and profitability. But it’s the developers and players who are the ones who pay the price in the long run.
Roblox notoriously spends over $400 million per year just on servers just to keep the game running. That’s become an unfortunate industry standard, gatekeeping the industry from developers while all too often delivering suboptimal gameplay experiences. Thankfully Tashi, a decentralized gaming platform leveraging Tashi Consensus alongside Hedera network services, is flipping the script.
Instead of renting an expensive backend like AWS, multiplayer games run on a Tashi mesh network powered by players themselves. Instead of asset databases stored on someone else's infrastructure, ownership lives in a Hedera smart contract that’s portable, verifiable, and cost-predictable.
Neither developers nor gamers need to touch tokens or manage wallets. Devs just ship a better game and players enjoy a more lasting experience. Built by the original architects of Hedera, Tashi is an ultra-fast network fine-tuned for gaming that plugs directly into Hedera’s services for tokenized assets, state sync, and player rewards.
And it’s all done with minimal latency and a developer experience that feels on par with Web2. No friction or lock-in, just infrastructure that scales with the game instead of a cloud server bill. The era of disposable worlds is ending. Developers can finally build games that last, with Hedera and Tashi leading the way.
Tashi gives multiplayer a backbone that won’t break
Multiplayer only works when everyone sees the same thing at the same time. But Web2 infrastructure was never built for that kind of coordination. Developers patch things together with cloud servers and custom logic, but lag still creeps in, inputs get dropped, and matches fall apart. And when it breaks, players take the hit.
But Hedera and Tashi are taking multiplayer coordination out of the hands of centralized servers. Tashi’s platform runs on Tashi consensus, inspired by Hashgraph, , which acts as a shared clock and ledger that records every player action in the exact order it happened. Inputs are time-stamped, verified, and synced across the network in real-time.
Game states remain consistent because every input is verified, ordered, and recorded by the network itself. The result is precise, real-time multiplayer where every player sees the same game, in the same order, at the same time. Game logic stays consistent because coordination happens at the protocol level, not in custom server code.
Tashi turns Hedera into a dev-ready multiplayer stack
Tashi creates a real-time, peer-to-peer mesh where every player’s machine helps power the network. Nodes sync inputs, verify state, and keep matches going, all with the minimal latency and high throughput that accommodates thousands of actions per second.
Every action is verifiable and seen in the same order across the network. In-game assets are secured through Hedera smart contracts and the Hedera Token Service (HTS), with a live IOU ledger operating inside the mesh. When a player wins a fight and claims an item, that state is recorded instantly. Signed updates stream to the chain, with final settlement triggered at the end of the session.
It’s a system constructed for consequence where every PvP encounter carries real weight. Tashi and Hedera bring the benefits of blockchain to games without the usual Web3 complexity. Studios integrate using fiat, with crypto conversion handled behind the scenes. Developers tap in through SDKs for Unity and Godot, with node operators rewarded automatically.
It’s real-time multiplayer that scales with players, enforces fairness by design, and keeps games online long after the business model ends. And with crypto conversions conducted behind the scenes, developers get an exceptional level of cost-certainty. Tashi is proving what gaming on Hedera can look like, and it’s already running in the wild.
How Hedera and Tashi make web3 invisible for devs
Tashi and Hedera give developers everything they need to build real-time multiplayer games without any Web3 learning curve. It’s part of Tashi’s core ethos to add no friction for both players and devs. That principle shows up everywhere, from SDKs that plug into Unity and Godot to accessibility that feels like any other cloud tool.
Studios keep using credit cards, with no need for interaction with crypto wallets. Authentication works the way developers expect. through API keys, not wallet signatures or exposed private keys. There’s nothing new for devs to learn, and even less to explain to players. The blockchain stays behind the curtain, right where it belongs.
Once deployed, the game no longer depends on managed servers or a live ops team to stay online. Backend costs never balloon thanks to a mesh that runs itself and scales with the player base. Studios pay a predictable rate, and the network handles the necessary coordination, validation, and automatic node operator payouts to keep things humming along.
Moving forward, new Hedera standards like HIP-991 promise to unlock game-specific avenues for monetization and revenue.
Build the next wave of forever games today
Multiplayer gaming is evolving into something more resilient thanks to decentralization. Games can now scale, persist, and reward the players who keep them alive. Hedera is providing the foundation for this sea change alongside Tashi. Real-time sync, serverless coordination, and persistent game logic are no longer wishlist features.
So if you’re building a game that deserves to outlast its servers, the tools are finally here. Tashi’s Elite Program is open to all developers, with Hedera’s stack and ecosystem providing support. It’s your on-ramp to multiplayer gaming experiences that run longer, fairer, and smarter.
