Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are taking the world by storm and have opened a whole new world of possibilities for the gaming industry.
Ubisoft and GameStop have already announced partnerships with NFT companies, and many more have expressed interest in the booming technology trend.
Notably, a new model of gaming has also emerged as a result of NFT integration known as play-to-earn in which players can earn tokens for their participation in a game.
It is then up to the user as to whether they wish to hold the items for the long term or sell them on a marketplace for profit.
This model enables gamers to have a new form of ownership in a way that takes power away from large corporations and puts it back into the hands of the individual.
Some blockchain games have become so popular that users from developing countries are using them to generate a form of income.
Blockchain games seem to be one of the few niche sectors within crypto that continue to thrive despite the wider market downturn. The new play-to-earn gaming model presents an opportunity for gamers to earn some money while playing a game that they truly enjoy. As long as these games continue to pay out rewards to their users, then players from developing countries will also continue to flock to these platforms to earn extra income.
In this article, we take a look at the most popular blockchain games in terms of users and compare the figures to each project’s market capitalization.
