Happy New Year! Entering 2026, my focus remains on the Sui public chain and the GameFi sector. As an old player who has been obsessed with Pokemon cards since childhood and has participated in regional tournaments, I have several boxes of card collections at hand. Recently, Jackson.io officially launched its RWA trading card business on the Sui chain, and the beta version of Cardz.game went live on January 1st. These developments look very promising, and today I want to share some of my observations.

As someone who is well-versed in card game mechanics, my first thought was Pokemon — of course, not that it will integrate with official services (that’s definitely unrealistic), but that its gameplay design draws from core concepts like card collection, competitive battles, and scarcity-based pricing, while also incorporating RWA and blockchain technology. Many people are not very familiar with Jackson.io, so I’ll give a brief overview.

Jackson.io is essentially a decentralized GameFi infrastructure built on the Sui chain. Its role is to connect three parties: gamers, game development teams, and liquidity providers. The entire system logic is on-chain, making all data traceable and auditable. From the team’s background, they have experience in both game development and blockchain technology. They started with self-funding and later secured seed funding. The Sui chain is known within the community for its high TPS and extremely low transaction costs, which is especially friendly for game scenarios requiring frequent interactions — and this is precisely why they chose this chain. I’ve looked into some information, and the project’s community is steadily growing, with active discussions on Discord and X platforms.

Cardz.game is their latest product attempt: a trading card game anchored to RWA assets. Combining real-world assets with on-chain game mechanics, this concept is still quite cutting-edge in the current GameFi market.
