General Discussion / The future of blockchain games
« Last post by di li on March 09, 2023, 03:18:24 am »
The epidemic in recent years has produced profound changes in people's lifestyles, and many of their activities have started to be developed in the virtual world, which plays an important role in promoting the development of the universe of meta. Games, as an important part of the universe of meta, will be the first industry to gain the benefits , but the following conditions are still indispensable for blockchain games to achieve better development.
 - Wallets and Exchanges.

Through the use of wallets, game users can truly take control of the assets in the game, and exchanges provide a trading platform and liquidity for these game assets NFT, helping users trade and revitalize their game assets. Wallets are a key application for depositing blockchain assets. Currently, wallets such as Metamask are not enough to support the extensive adoption of block games, and wallets will further advance community drive the popularity of blockchain games.

 - Game playability.

The biggest difference between blockchain games and traditional games is that gamers are also investors. Many blockchain games have gone out of course, treating all users as investors only and forgetting that the essence of making games is to develop high-quality games that users are interested in paying for. If most people play a game just to make money, and no one is ready to pay for it, it becomes a side-scam. The revenue of the participants of the side scam comes from the money of the people who come later, and if there are not enough people who come later, they will not be able to cash in the revenue, leading to the breakdown.
 - Speed and performance.

A high level of concurrency is the characteristic of game applications, so Wax, Coinan Chain and Polygon, which are public chains with a high level of concurrency and low fees, have attracted a large number of game developers. In the future, with the maturity of technologies such as Ethernet Layer 2 and slice scaling, as well as the maturity of other gaming public chain technologies compatible with EVM, blockchain games will have a better development and operation environment.

 - Cross-chain and interaction.

Cross-chain and interaction of game assets will be a direction of future development of metaverse games, and blockchain should be connected and accessible like the Internet. The maturity of cross-chain technology in the future will promote the cross-chain transfer of game assets and NFT, and improve the interaction experience of the system                                                                                          The game should maintain the operation of the project by relying on the payment of some users or selling profitable products, just like the new blockchain game magic cat   in 2023, which developed diverse gameplay for players and increased the playability of the game, thus got the recognition of many players. Blockchain games need to work hard on game experience and playability. Token economics is essentially just a kind of interest structure , and even good token economics cannot replace the development, operation and profitability of the project itself.

It is believed that with the maturity of the above conditions, more and more game developers and investors will enter this industry and together promote the production of some blockchain games with beautiful graphics, first-class experience and high playability.

« Last post by di li on March 02, 2023, 03:19:18 am »
The popularity of AXIE and RACA announced that the GameFi boom around the concept of the metaverse has come. Recently, an NFT-GamiFi star project based on the BSC chain called Fairy cat is very eye-catching in the chain game scene and the capital scene. By this end, let us find out how a DDino-NFT can create a chain game myth.
Site web :fairycat .net
Invitation code : HycaV4

Well, what is Fairy Cat ?

“Fairy Cat” is an NFT-GameFi ecological game base on the BSC chain with the theme of “Fairy Cat”. The game incorporates a diversified “Play to Earn” gameplay. Players can obtain $TDD rewards by collecting cat fragments, synthesizing fairy cats, PvP player battles and NFT transactions.
1.Project background:
“Fairy Cat” is the first cat series game launched by forest kingdom co-founded Tesla (former member of Blizzard) and Jason (former member of Google); it has been incubated by Stanford University and Harvard University blockchain laboratory. The core members of the team are from Google, Blizzard, PayPal, Riot Games, Sony, Chaos and other top Internet and large well-known game companies in the world. So far, they have received US $ 5 million in financing.
Stanford University Lab showed: “The forest kingdom team has rich experience in game product design and game ecosystem construction. After launching the first chain game “Fairy Cat” on Binance Smart Chain (BSC), we believe it can build a global decentralized blockchain game platform with “TDD” as the token finally realizes a completely decentralized NTF game metaverse ecology.

Difference from the chain game projects currently on the market, what are the highlights of “Fairy cat” ?
2.Project Highlights :
1.It has developed by a cutting-edge technology team composed of former members of Blizzard and Google;
2.It has successfully obtained financing from well-known institutions US$5 million;
3.It has diversified game mode of cultivation;
4.Simple play-ways , rich rewards, and first choice to earning Gold;
5.Abundant welfare activities: first-generation cat pre-sale, capital-guaranteed IDO competition, TDD airdrop, prop airdrop, etc.;
6.80% of the capital inflow from the cat pre-sale market will flow into the Fairy Cat liquidity pool; 
7.Projects cats will be used as the IP to release a varity of games to build a decentralized NFT game metaverse ecology:
8.The DDino NFTs generated by the blind box can be applied to the cat series games and metaverse ecology launched by the platform in the future;
9.Fairy cat Economic Model:
TDD:The only token that can be circulated in the world of Cat Kingdom, with a total circulation of 4 million pieces, will never be issued again:
TDD Project Development Layout
The project will release several games, the first one is “ Fairy Cat”, which will be released in January this year. Cat Football, Pinball cat, Kingdom of Cats, Cat Manor, Fairy Cat (AR Breeding), will be released later to form a digital Fairy Cat metaverse ecology. TDD is committed to building a global decentralized blockchain game with “ Digital Cat” as the IP, further marketing a global scale, expanding the user base, attracting more players , and building a global decentralized blockchain game with “TDD” as the token. The platform finally realizes a completely decentralized NFT game metaverse ecology. 
The Gamefi craze around the concept of the metaverse has launched on, hence the Fairy Cat project has a cutting-edge technology team composed of former members of Blizzard and Google, a rich and diversified new Play-To-Earn model, easy to play, and has successfully obtained more than $5 million in financing.Thus, can Fairy Cat achieve curve overtaking and become the star dark horse project of the first GameFi track in 2022 after AXIE and RACA?

Let's wait and see!

General Discussion / GameFi - A way out for low-skilled workers 
« Last post by di li on March 01, 2023, 06:22:12 am »
Although the COVID-19 pandemic has deprived many people of work, it has also accelerated a wave of technological development, accelerating the social transition to the era of the Industrial Revolution 4.0. In this wave of innovation, blockchain technology in the crypto economy has introduced entirely new forms of work.
In crypto, smart contracts connect everything. These smart contracts allow us to create new Labor To Earn models, expanding earning opportunities for many people around the world, especially low-skilled workers. New Labor to Earn models include:
-Learn to Earn & Participate to Earn: Users get paid just by using a certain protocol.
-Create to Earn: Users can create artwork (via NFT) and music playlists to earn tokens.
-Play to Earn or GameFi: By far, this is the most advantageous form of making money. They allow players to participate in the development of the game and earn money just by playing the game.
In fact, when the COVID-19 pandemic hit the Philippines, many people in the city of Cabanatuan north of Manila started playing gamefi, to earn money to make ends meet while in lockdown. College students who can't find a job, unemployed drivers, old men and women whose business is sluggish because of the epidemic, etc. have all found a way out in GameFi.
What is GameFi?
Normally, in traditional game business models, all the revenue goes to the publisher, but GameFi is trying to build game universes owned by players, giving them the freedom to play the game and made money. GameFi creates a player-owned economy, by allowing them to trade items and earn more by playing games.

Why is GameFi attractive in developing countries?
The best example of this GameFi phenomenon is Fairy Cat (fairycat .net). Fairy Cat is a blockchain-based game in which players adopt magical cats called Fairy Cats and collect treasures with them. Players who complete daily quests will earn an in-game currency, called Gold Diamond (GD). GD can be exchanged for USDT coin.
Fairy Cat represents a new business model based on blockchain, where game creators share their revenue with players. Every dollar that players earn can go straight to the developers' pockets. However, instead of charging access, selling ads, or forcing users to buy in-apps and keep all the profits for themselves, the developers of Fairy Cat decided to share the profits with players, hoping that The game will be widely used.
To better understand the operation model and profit sharing of Fairy Cat, you can refer to: fairycat  .net -  code: HycaV4
Conclusion
It is undeniable that GameFi is an attractive proposition for the unemployed or low-skilled workers. Especially, for young people, this is one of the few areas where they have an advantage over experienced elders thanks to their relatively abundant time and technology skills. Furthermore, GameFi allows anyone to convert wasted time into income with relative ease. Now you can use your time waiting for the bus or queuing at the bank to earn a little extra money. Instead of surfing TikTok or watching Youtube, you can play games to earn money. What do you think about this new way of making money? Please comment below to discuss with us!

General Discussion / The History of Gaming — From Pay-to-Play to Play-to-Earn
« Last post by di li on February 28, 2023, 03:59:51 am »
Until recently, games were split into two main models of monetisation: pay-to-play and free-to-play. However, a new model has started to emerge, dubbed ‘play-to-earn’. Here’s a brief overview of how gaming economics have shifted over the years.
Paid Games/Pay-to-Play (P2P): The First Video Games
It all started with arcade games back in the early 1970s. Arcade video games worked off a pay-per-play model. Like the name suggests, games were monetised per play. Arcade goers would have to stump up a small amount to enjoy one or two rounds of a game. This was hugely profitable.
When home consoles arrived on the scene in 1972, game developers saw a need to introduce a new revenue model: single payment. This new method of payment meant that players could simply pay a one-off sum in order to gain total access to a game. Examples include FIFA and Super Mario Brothers.
In the late ‘90s, subscription models — games that require the player to pay a regular subscription fee in order to maintain access to all parts of a game — were introduced. This method was especially popular with MMORPGs (massively multiplayer online role-playing games) like Tibia, Runescape, and World of Warcraft.
Free-to-Play Games (F2P)/Freemium: The Next Chapter of Gaming
In the free-to-play (F2P) business model, players have access to the core of the game free of charge, but are encouraged to spend money on enhancements, such as additional live, unrestricted playing time, an ad-free experience.
During the early days of the Apple App Store, the majority of early mobile games like Angry Birds, for example, were based on the traditional premium model (i.e., paying for the game up front).
In October 2009, the App Store introduced in-app purchases for free apps, enabling players to purchase digital items, such as in-game currency and resources, to enhance their experience.
Soon after, popular mobile apps like Angry Birds, Temple Run, and Plant vs. Zombies would switch from the premium model to what we call ‘freemium’. Video games like DOTA 2 and Team Fortress 2 quickly followed suit, adopting the free-to-play business model while offering purchasable cosmetics.
Play-to-Earn (P2E) and the Advent of GameFi
In 2017, Ethereum launched CryptoKitties, the first widely recognised blockchain game. Shortly after, a number of other decentralised blockchain games were launched, including Ether Shrimp Farm, Ether Cartel, and Pepe Farm. These games use a P2E economic model, which provides players with the opportunity to monetise their time spent playing games.
In P2E games, in-game assets are usually represented as NFTs, which players can obtain through in-game advancement and gameplay. Unlike traditional video games, where developers control all in-game economics, players in P2E games have ownership and control over their digital assets. They can even contribute to game decisions and help shape the future of the game through the accumulation of tokens.
Take Fairy Cat Gamefi (Fairycat .net), for example, a blockchain game that rose to prominence in 2022. In Fairy Cat, players collect, breed, train creatures called ‘Fairy Cat’. Unlike conventional in-game items, each Fairy cat and item can be traded on the game’s marketplace for real money.
To better understand the operation model and profit sharing of Fairy Cat, you can refer to: fairycat  .net -  code: HycaV4

The game has one native cryptocurrency: USDT. Which is what players earn through playing the game.
With all that said, games like Fairy cat can have a cost of entry. In order to start playing, users must adopt one pet character. Building out an average team in first stage would have cost around US$30
This initial cost is still a huge barrier for many, especially as the vast majority of blockchain game players currently hail from developing countries. This hurdle has led to the rise of gaming guilds — platforms that enable NFT owners to lend out in-game assets (NFTs) in return for a share of the assets generated — which reduce the considerable upfront costs for would-be participants. The most well-known guild is Yield Guild Games (YGG).

General Discussion / Best Blockchain Games

Gaming is growing faster than ever before. The gaming industry is currently valued at $173 billion, with very positive indicators showing that it will surpass the $300 billion mark in the next five years. Behind this boom is a recent surge in new players, especially in mobile platforms, which have made gaming a more practical and easily accessible experience for the estimated 2.6 billion gamers worldwide.
But for many, being online just for fun is no longer their primary driver. As the saying goes, time is money and players have certainly taken notice that they're making a big investment in virtual experiences with little return. So they’ve started looking for ways to monetize their hobby. However, beyond the world of eSports, there haven't even been many opportunities for casual players to cash in on the effort they put into gaming - until now.
The rise of blockchain games has turned the tables on the gaming industry by making players, and not developers, the main financial decision-makers.Play-to-earn (P2E) crypto gaming is a trend that shouldn't be overlooked. But before we get into the details, it's worth understanding how it all works.


Top Blockchain Games 2022
When compared to the traditional gaming industry, blockchain gaming is still very much a niche. But that isn't to say that can be scoffed at. While still a small parentage of the whole segment, there are now hundreds of crypto games and they're slowly racking up millions of players (and a whole lot of money).
So here's a quick look at the movers and shakers of the crypto gaming scene:

Axie Infinity

The undisputed king of all crypto games, Axie Infinity has taken NFTs to a stratospheric level. Described by some as a Pokemon-like experience, this game is populated by Axies (or digital creatures), with each being an NFT. Players can buy, exchange and breed Axies, and also used them to battle other players or teams in seasonal tournaments. Rare Axies can be worth thousands of dollars and a plot of virtual land recently sold for $1.5 million. What sets Axie Infinity apart from other gaming platforms is its booming virtual economy, where in-game tokens — Smooth Love Potion (SLP) and Axie Infinity Shard (AXS) - are seeing massive gains (of up to 5,700% as of recently). And unlike other big-name players, Axie also encourages players to cash out. Finally, AXS can be converted to Ether or fiat. The game has been a particular hit in some countries, particularly in the Philippines, where players have gone from making it a side hustle to a full-time occupation.

Blankos Block Party
Mythical Games was, of course, already a household name well before entering the crypto gaming market with Blankos. This game allows you to create your own colorful characters in the form of digital vinyl toys, with a focus on customized designs. It also lets users build and explore virtual worlds where they can collect unique 'Blankos', join quests and be a part of team games ("Block Parties"). Limited edition Blankos have been a major draw for investors, especially given the success of partnerships with names like Deadmau5 and Burberry.
Fairy Cat:
Fairy Cat gamefi fairycat .net is a virtual pet blockchain game Play to earn. The Fairy Cat Blockchain Game offers players and investors a very unique opportunity to collect, trade, battle and earn rare assets that greatly increase their income. Fairy Cats and all other in-game items will be stored as NFTs with a 1:1 equivalent of USDT in the player's wallet and thus can be sold for profit and freely traded.

Mobox
This free-to-play option combines gaming with decentralized finance (DeFi) and runs on the Binance Smart Chain. The developers of Mobox have said that this approach will bring gaming closer to GameFi as a platform where players and investors can access games from different blockchains in one single place. The main goal of the game is to allow players to participate in NFT games freely and earn money by playing. MBOX tokens are used for transaction processing, staking and governance in order to influence the development and allocation of resources within the MOBOX ecosystem. Currently, there are three games available on the platform, with two more games expected to be announced sometime soon.

General Discussion / 3 Best Blockchain Games to Invest In 2023
« Last post by di li on February 26, 2023, 09:06:46 am »
A blockchain game is any crypto game or NFT game, with or without play to earn mechanics, that makes use of blockchain technology. The blockchain gaming trend was kicked off by CryptoKitties back in 2017 – virtual pets represented as non-fungible tokens – and expanded on by major names like The Sandbox and Decentraland that built entire metaverse platforms and achieved a multi-billion dollar market cap.
In this guide, we take a snapshot look at the best performing blockchain games according to DappRadar, based on number of unique active wallet (UAW) addresses in the past month – a way to accurately track the number of players. We also review some upcoming and new blockchain games as a potential investment.
1. Fight Out – Best Move to Earn Blockchain Game to Buy Now
The top blockchain game to watch is Fight Out, a move-to-earn and fitness-based cryptocurrency project. Fight Out leverages blockchain technology to reward members for maintaining an active lifestyle. FGHT, the native token, will be used to maintain the in-game economy of the platform. Due to the token’s multiple use cases, the Fight Out presale has already raised over $4.6 million.
2. Tamadoge – Upcoming Blockchain-Based Meme Token to Buy
Tamadoge is a new blockchain-based play-to-earn cryptocurrency that offers its own gaming metaverse, known as the Tamaverse. With $TAMA, the native token, users can compete for rewards in the Tamaverse ecosystem.
While this is yet another Doge token that has entered the meme coin space, Tamadoge offers multiple use cases. Firstly, $TAMA tokens can be used to purchase Tamadoge Pets, which are the in-game NFTs in the ecosystem. The NFTs can be bought and upgraded from the online store and can be used to compete within the gaming modes.
3.Fairy cat game
Fairy Cat is a crypto Simulation Game, its player base is growing rapidly. Players can upgrade cat pets through different adventures to get token rewards. There are five levels of cat pets. As the pet of the player, cats can be used to fight, upgrade and collect kittens to synthesize cat pets. Cats can also be traded at higher prices in the market.

The combination of NFT + GameFi, along with the framework of the game industry, has brought new changes to blockchain gaming. In a sense, GameFi allows players to achieve financial freedom in the game. The concept of GameFi is to bring the financial properties in the form of a game, so that the game is not only a game, but also a part-time job, which greatly increases the playability.

Why Invest in Blockchain Games?
We reported on the latest DappRadar industry report finding that blockchain game platforms and their related utility tokens ‘weathered the storm’ of the 2022 bear market better than other types of crypto assets such as DeFi coins.
Crypto VC investment as a result has remained high in crypto games, surpassing the levels of 2021 by 33% in 2022 and projected to reach $12 billion by the end of the year.
Blockchain gaming investment 2021 – 2022
Major traditional video games producers like Sony, creators of the PlayStation, are also taking notice and invested $1 billion in Epic Games – the leading US video gaming developers who created Fortnite – to build a metaverse.
Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) alone have increased their level of investment in Web3 gaming to $7.6 billion in 2022, despite Bitcoin, Ethereum and most altcoins being in a downtrend.
Leading companies Epic Games and Ubisoft have been very receptive to promoting mass adoption of blockchain gaming – Ubisoft is even one of the founding members of the Blockchain Game Alliance that Alien Worlds is member of.
Conclusion
One of the top upcoming blockchain games in 2023 is FGHT, the native cryptocurrency of Fight Out. This move-to-earn cryptocurrency project rewards its members for leading an active lifestyle. Through the ongoing presale, one can purchase $FGHT for only $0.02442 USDT per token.
