<h2><span data-raw-html="span" style="font-size:16pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">The Challenges: Bridging Traditional Gaming Expertise with Web3 Innovations</span></h2><span data-raw-html="span" style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Transitioning NHN's traditional gaming expertise to a Web3 framework posed multiple significant challenges. </span> <span data-raw-html="span" style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Firstly, the shift required the construction of a robust Web3 data pipeline. This infrastructure had to be seamlessly integrated with NHN's existing conventional gaming data systems, a process that was both complex and time-consuming. Further complicating the transition was NHN's existing reliance on an internal database and business intelligence (BI) tools. These systems, while effective within Web2 environments, were not initially designed to handle the nuances of blockchain data, thereby requiring substantial adaptation.</span>
<span data-raw-html="span" style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Another major challenge arose from the adoption of the Sui Network, a non-EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) blockchain. Sui's architecture presented unique technical challenges, primarily due to its nascent data infrastructure which only provided basic raw data. This lack of refined, abstract data that is meaningful for project operations meant that additional resources were necessary to develop these capabilities. </span>

<span data-raw-html="span" style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Additionally, despite Pebble’s span background in traditional game development and design, their understanding and capability to manage Web3 data were limited. This gap highlighted the necessity for a data provider with expertise in translating complex blockchain data into actionable insights for game development and enhancement.</span>
