Bitblox Games, a gaming studio registered in the Isle of Man, said Thursday it will be bringing crypto games to igaming, the roughly $68 billion online gambling industry.
The gaming studio, which said it is the first to introduce blockchain-based gaming to the online gambling market, will exclusively build on the Hxro Network, a distributed liquidity layer for betting applications on the Solana blockchain, to create “a suite of on-chain games,” said a company announcement.

Bitblox Games’ recent move to build crypto games for the online gambling industry could bring about significant changes to the Solana ecosystem, Hxro Network and online gambling industry as these on-chain games are focused on helping expand the current user base of igaming operators as well as letting users play in new ways.
“On-chain gaming is a surprisingly underserved subset of the multibillion-dollar global igaming market,” according to Hxro co-founder Dan Gunsberg. “Bitblox will bring the online gambling industry into the Web3 era,” he added.

Specialized AI detects 92% of real-world DeFi exploits
New research claims specialized AI dramatically outperforms general-purpose models at detecting exploited DeFi vulnerabilities.
What to know:
- A purpose-built AI security agent detected vulnerabilities in 92% of 90 exploited DeFi contracts ($96.8 million in exploit value), compared with 34% and $7.5 million for a baseline GPT-5.1-based coding agent running on the same underlying model.
- The gap came from domain-specific security methodology layered on top of the model, not differences in core AI capability, according to the report.
- The findings come as prior research from Anthropic and OpenAI shows AI agents can execute end-to-end smart contract exploits at low cost, accelerating concerns that offensive AI capabilities are scaling faster than defensive adoption.
