Most people see certain on-chain platforms launching a 0% commission model, and their first reaction is "Oh, that's quite fair."

But if you take a technical look at it, you'll find that there have actually been major changes made at the core of the game engine.

Why do traditional games have to set a house edge? Simply put, they operate on EV (expected value) that naturally favors the platform's closed system - how odds are calculated, how much the payout rate is set, and how many points are taken as a cut, all hidden in the black box code, which players can't see.

But on-chain games have dismantled this logic: smart contracts are public, random numbers are verifiable, and the flow of funds is completely transparent. A 0% cut is not charity; it replaces the traditional trust cost with the transparency of the protocol layer. Players no longer have to guess whether the platform has secretly changed the odds, because all the rules are written on the chain and can be audited by anyone.
