Focusing on liquidity improvement of NFT in gaming, metaverse collectibles, and in-game assets, GameFi.org and NFTrade decided to join hands to improve trading activities of NFT gaming assets. Users of both platforms are expecting to seize the opportunity to play and earn in the crypto world. — The considerable barrier: Liquidity access of NFT gaming and metaverse assets - Besides the impressive trading volume in 2021, NFTs are facing controversy over their actual use case and ownership in life, indeed. NFT gaming assets, on the other hand, have an outstanding advantage: being the tools for owners to actively and passively secure their income from game finance. Challenges come when NFT gaming items become harder to keep track of. Some people keep them for gameplay; some list them on the game market; some list them on secondary markets for resale. This complication makes it hard for NFT traders to reach the offers they find. Liquidity access becomes a barrier for NFT gaming assets to optimize their advantage and grow in the crypto world. — A new feature is coming to solve the problem - Sharing the point of view on this problem, GameFi....

|  | Metacade Presale Pasts $5M as GameFi Investors Tend to Buy MCADE Tokens
[PRESS RELEASE - London, United Kingdom, 2nd February 2023]
The Metacade presale is selling out fast, with stage 3 coming to a close after just 12 days. The presale of the play-to-earn (P2E) metaverse arcade saw its previous rounds sell out within 4 weeks, raising $2.7 million but this has been dwarfed in comparison to the third stage selling out at lightning speed and bringing the project to raise past $5 million in just several days.

With incredible momentum already behind the Metacade project, it will not be long before the presale tokens sell out and MCADE is released on exchanges. The token will be listed on both centralized and decentralized exchang...
|  | Top 5 GameFi Cryptos To Watch This February
With so many sharp twists and turns happening in the blockchain and crypto space, the GameFi space is getting robust now more than ever. Evidently, experts say that 2023 is the 'build phase' for GameFi and it is set to explode in the next couple of months.
Considerably, blockchain games are seen to have doubled since last year. In fact, in 2021, blockchain games were able to amass as much as $476 million in revenues. The year 2022 was also a phenomenal year for the play-to-earn (P2E) industry.
Here Are The Top 5 GameFi Cryptos To Watch This Year
Avalanche (AVAX)
Avalanche is known for its scalability and security. It’s also a winner in terms of customer experience compared to other blockchain platforms. It is an open-source platform that allows users to build and release their very own decentralized applications (dApps).
It clearly tops the list when it comes to the platform of choice due to its smooth, speedy, and secure transactions which also increases the demand for AVAX tokens.
At the time of writing, AVAX is trading at $19.55, up 8.3% in the last seven days, data from Coingecko shows.
Metacade (MCADE)
Metacade has an obvious edge being the first-of-its-kind metaverse arcade ever built on top of the Ethereum blockchain.
It has a massive P2E potential. Its goal is to ultimately morph into a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) which will start in the Q2 of this year and end in Q4 of 2024.
With the strong roadmap and long-term potential of Metacade, a...
|  | New Caesarverse Game Disrupting GameFi Market With Multiplayer Gladiator...
Gaming has long been touted as one of the most appropriate use cases for blockchain-based technology.
Integrating a distributed ledger into the game's engine would enable gamers to own their experience instead of having to rely on a third-party provider to safe keep it for them.
Moreover, assuming title over in-game assets would also enable users to freely trade and swap them, putting a lot more meaning into spending countless hours on progressing characters.
Over the past year and a half, blockchain gaming is finally starting to see some considerable interest, although a lot of the projects lack multiple features to even compete with traditional gaming. But others are working tirelessly to change this.
CaesarVerse, a Roman-themed open-world game set to incorporate Real Time Strategy (RTS) elements, is creating something new in the lucrative GameFi market. The $9 billion GameFi market is expected to grow to $75 billion by 2031 at a CAGR of 23%.
While most games are focused primarily on rewards, CaesarVerse is offering educational components that will serve in the sense of practical utility, such as university students who want an immersive experience to truly understand this era.
It also attracts Web3 gamers interested in group combat in a classical context. Most existing games offer this only in sci-fi or fantasy environments.
CaesarVerse To Offer Novel Multiplayer Combat
One of the reasons MOBAs are the most popular game genres of all time is due to the 5vs5 gameplay. It ma...
|  | Avalanche Looks To Capitalize On GameFi Segment – Will This Give A...
Avalanche (AVAX) peaked at $20.31 on November 6 as it gave its best to recover from the bearish trend that engulfed the broader crypto market towards the tail-end of October and the opening days the current month.
However, on November 12, the cryptocurrency experienced a severe price correction that pulled it all the way down to $12.51. The following day, the altcoin made an immediate bounce-back as it reclaimed the $15 marker.
After that, Avalanche was once again on a downward trend that made it struggle to even just climb at $14. At the time of this writing, according to tracking from Coingecko, the 20th ranked digital currency in terms of market capitalization is changing hands at $13.50.
Over the last seven days, the asset has declined by more than 15% while during the past 30 days, its value dropped by 14.4%.
As it turns out, even an impressive growth in GameFi segment of the blockchain space is not enough to stop the bleeding for AVAX.
As Crypto Market Suffers, Avalanche Notches Growth Elsewhere
According to data shared on Twitter by Avalanche Talk, 10 GameFi projects running on the AVAX blockchain tallied significant increases in volume over the past week.
Province was the top gainer, posting an impressive 1,481.77% increase in volume in just a matter of seven days. Owloper (290.98%) was at second. Rounding up the top five were Dragon Crypto (279.76%), Hoppers Game (118.39%) and Step App (91.87%).
Meanwhile, RaceX (68.42%), Crabada (44.02%), XANA Metaverse (43.3...

|  | NFT, GameFi Sectors Show Optimistic Trends: DappRadar
Despite starting on a promising note, the global macroeconomic environment influenced and adversely impacted the crypto market, which sustained several damaging corrections. The same could be said for the NFT market.
However, new data suggest that the NFT business continues to be in great demand.
High Demand for NFTs
In Q3, the NFT trading volume climbed to $2.71 billion and was down by 67% from the previous quarter. But there has been an 8.3% increase in the sales count from Q2. This was revealed by the latest edition of the DappRadar Industry Report.
The NFT trading volume soared by 10.4% in September alone compared to the previous month. Furthermore, the sales count increased by 21%, which was indicative of the fact that the NFT business continues to be in great demand. The overall drop in trading volume, on the other hand, may have been contributed by the decline in the values of the cryptocurrency market.
The report also revealed that NFT trading volume on Ethereum has nosedived by 76% from Q2, but the number of NFT trades increased by 11%. Solana's NFT trading volume has witnessed an uptrend of 96% from the previous month but was still 63% down from Q2.
Driving the latter's growth was the launch of the y00ts collection, which gave Ethereum NFTs a run for their money. It managed to eclipse NFT giant OpenSea volume charts even after one month of the launch and raked in 435,000 SOL or nearly $15 million in secondary sales.
Alongside y00ts, Renga happens to be yet another c...

The play-to-earn (P2E) blockchain game Splinterlands has announced the project has sold more than 10 million packs stemming from the game's third major card expansion series, Chaos Legion. Splinterlands is a game that leverages cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology to enhance online collectible card tournaments.
The Splinterlands cards or NFTs can be purchased and sold via secondary markets and in order to start playing, new users need to obtain a 'Summoner's Spellbook.' The Chaos Legion series cards went on sale eight months ago on January 17, 2022, and there were only 15,000,000 packs minted.

'The successes are coming like a flood these days, and we are thrilled,' Reich remarked on Wedn...

The data also shows that the top five gamefi projects alone accounted for more than 70% of September's total gamefi subscribers in the top 20. Most Popular Project on the BNB Chain

'Gameta [is] still the number 1 game on BNB Chain. I'm keeping an eye on this project, very promising. I also love their NFT [non-fungible token] art, it's so clean,' one Twitter user wrote.

|  | Game On: 10 GameFi DAOs You Need to Know About in 2022
Players have always been the lifeblood of games, whether we’re talking about the retro arcade titles of the 1980s or immersive modern metaverses like Alien Worlds and Decentraland. And yet, until recently, players lacked organizational strength and clout: gamers were seen as the grunts on the ground who kept the enterprise moving, yet had little influence when it came to decision-making. With the advance of Decentralized Autonomous Organizations – DAOs – that is finally starting to change.
Systems governed by smart contracts and code, but designed to reflect the will of the people, DAOs are empowering an entire generation of gamers, content creators and entrepreneurs, all of whom can make their presence felt in their chosen web3 ecosystem. Gaming DAOs tap into the wisdom of the crowd to help players better monetize their endeavors in virtual reality, as well as manage and leverage a war chest of NFT assets. Some DAOs are even going a step further, financing promising gaming ventures on their own to rival the established tech giants of old.
Below are 10 of the most talked-about gaming DAOs operating in the web3 space today.
1. GameDAO
The memorably named GameDAO aims to enrich the gaming space by uniting players, content creators, GameFi investors and eSports organizations under one roof. In its constantly evolving ecosystem, participants can come together to form collaborative clans that pursue common objectives, whether that involves crowdfunding a new game...

|  | GameFi as a major achievement of the Korean Wave (Hallyu) movement
July 15th was a music milestone. Ten years ago in Summer 2012, the release of “Gangnam Style,” catapulted South Korean singer and rapper, PSY to stardom as the song instantly became a global hit.
Captivating listeners with catchy lyrics and an animated music video featuring the iconic horse-riding dance, Gangnam Style hit the unprecedented 1-billion views mark on YouTube just 159 days after its premiere.
The song’s immense popularity and rapid global reach quickly thrust Korean pop culture into the international spotlight, a phenomenon known as the “Hallyu” or Korean wave movement. The phrase emerged to encapsulate South Korea’s influence in exporting its popular culture, media, and even cuisine into the global cultural economy.
U.S. President Barack Obama even referenced the Korean Wave in a 2012 state visit to the East Asian nation.
Hallyu Gains More Momentum Amid Work By Plenty Of Korean Creatives And Innovators
Plenty of Korean artists continue to follow in the footsteps of PSY in shifting the global music scene. K-Pop acts like BTS and Blackpink remain massively popular and are considered positive examples of South Korea’s cultural exportation. In early August 2022, Blackpink announced details of their performance in Abu Dhabi in early 2023 as part of its “Born Pink’ world tour.
Hallyu’s also made waves within gaming. Some may even argue that games built the foundation for the Korean Wave due to the popularity o...
|  | As Axie Declines, Other Blockchain Games Emerge as Leaders in the GameFi...
In spite of what has been a difficult downturn for the cryptocurrency market, blockchain gaming is proving its longevity for the future through projects showing clear resilience and emerging as new leaders in the space.
Axie Infinity (AXS), whose pet-themed trading blockchain game catapulted to notoriety during the economic shutdowns of 2020, has continued its painful descent over the weekend, with active users contracting to under 60k. As noted in an exhaustive Twitter (TWTR) thread covering Axie’s market shift, these numbers are in stark comparison to the 3 million player high at Axie’s impressive peak.
Axie’s revenue has also decreased from $17 million/week to $11,000/week, and only 10 new Axie holders are joining the community per day. The mint to burn ratio has also hit a critical point, with the Axie “breeding” market suffering as a result.
Splinterlands (SPS), the worldwide leading gaming Dapp, however, continues to onboard hundreds of users a day, bringing in steady revenue and growing its player base, even while many other Web 3.0 projects, like Axie, struggle. Active gameplay remains consistent, seeing anywhere from 250k-450k daily active users. Splinterlands continues to update key aspects of the platform, release new updates and interact with their community on a weekly basis, locking in their firm place in the number one spot of the blockchain gaming vertical and setting their sights on rivaling the mainstream gaming industry...
|  | G-Link: GameFi Platform is Gateway to Web 3.0
To many, Web 3.0 can be intimidating to enter. G-Link makes blockchain mobile gaming accessible and brings Web 2.0 gamers into Web 3.0 through fun F2P P2E games.
Nascent potential for P2E gaming
Once a golden investment opportunity, the traditional gaming industry has slowed down and become crowded. Meanwhile, blockchain gaming is a sunrise industry with exponential growth potential. The revenue from gaming-related NFTs was US$4.8 billion in 2021, or around 20% of total NFT sales. In the same period, venture capital firms invested over US$4 billion in blockchain gaming to capture market share from traditional gaming, which is projected to have a value of US$268 billion by 2025.
Accessible gateway to Web 3.0 games
Designed to be beginner-friendly, G-Link’s mobile blockchain gaming platform will allow gamers, game developers and investors to interact directly, and together create a better Web 3.0 gaming community that surpasses the limits of traditional gaming. Newcomers need no knowledge of Web 3.0 and only have to register for a simple account like in Web 2.0, making it easy to get started in Web 3.0 and access any games on G-Link’s platform.
To begin with, G-Link will be releasing 4 casual to mid-core mobile P2E games in 2022: Kartopia, a racing game; Card Master, a strategic collectible card game; SPE Colony, a simulation kingdom-building game; Coin Fishing Frenzy, an arcade-type fishing game. At the same time, G-Link is in talks with over 10 developers to onbo...
|  | The Red Village Announces $6.5M Seed Round Led by Animoca Brands and Gam...
PRESS RELEASE. 3 June, 2022 - Sydney, Australia: Play-and-Earn game The Red Village has announced $6.5M in seed funding from some of the world's leading blockchain investors, including Animoca Brands and GameFi Ventures Fund, to create an immersive dark-fantasy ecosystem targeted at traditional gamers.
Animoca Brands is the global leader in gamification, blockchain, and metaverse projects, with a portfolio of more than 170 investments in NFT-related companies and decentralised projects that are contributing to building the open metaverse. These projects include The Sandbox, the world's premier metaverse and Phantom Galaxies, the AAA-quality open-world science fiction shooter. Animoca Brands' extensive network and industry expertise will help position The Red Village among the top blockchain projects globally.
The Red Village comprises two game modes; Tournament mode (which is currently live and playable in beta and supported by a thriving community), and an expansion of the ecosystem known as The Red Village: Darklands, currently under development by Animoca Brands' subsidiary Blowfish Studios. The new funding will be partially used to build the immersive, dark-fantasy expansion, which draws inspiration from traditional titles such as RuneScape, Diablo, Skyrim, Elden Ring, and The Witcher.
'The true catalyst for the mass adoption of the blockchain will be the onboarding of traditional gamers into the metaverse through high quality, immersive ecosystems with stro...
|  | Why Are GameFi Projects Crucial Contributors To Crypto Adoption?
The gaming industry is pegged to hit the $200 billion mark by 2024 and is constantly outperforming expectations. Play-to-Earn (P2E) is trending in GameFi, besides being a significant catalyst for crypto adoption. According to Triple-A, the total revenue from blockchain gaming has risen from $321 million in 2020 to $1.5 billion in 2021.
Blockchain-based games have attracted 1.22 million unique active wallets (UAW) in Q1 2022. Popular titles like Axie Infinity and Decentraland accounted for 22,000 of those. The promise of decentralized ownership, inclusive decision-making procedures, and attractive financial incentives are the primary factors drawing gamers to P2E.
GameFi’s success has been a massive push for crypto and blockchain’s acceptance and legitimacy, propelling adoption.
GameFi — Gaming That Pays for Real
GameFi combines gaming and finance, as the name suggests. It is the financialization of video games using blockchain-based methods to let users monetize their gaming experiences. Play-to-Earn (P2E) is a primary feature of this model. Traditional games have centralized business models where producers retain the maximum profit share, whereas in-game assets aren’t interoperable.
Gamers thus have little or no way to monetize grinding or in-game achievements. Moreover, gaming studios have the final say over the game’s development trajectory, the supply of in-game assets, and their use cases. On the other hand, P2E games adopt the principle of ...

Reduce the Risk of DeFi for Debutants and Pros
People are entering the investment markets at a younger age, and an increase in investors are being introduced to investing through the rapidly growing blockchain sectors, namely gaming and decentralized finance (DeFi). Yet, as more DeFi, NFT and gaming metaverse platforms are introduced, not only the rewards, but also the risks rise.
Increasingly, these investors are turning to “financial influencers” on social media platforms for advice on how to navigate these markets and pursue their earnings opportunities. However, until now, there was no way to measure the performance and rate the credibility of this community. The DeFi and gaming industries have lacked a “Morningstar” to provide data-driven analysis and insights.

|  | How is Superhero NFT Wars Merging Gamefi and SocialFi
Gaming has been one of the fastest expanding entertainment sectors, surpassing Hollywood. The $200 billion industry has reigned supreme for decades, unifying more than 40% of the world's population. However, the emerging GameFi sector is bringing a massive transformation to the gaming business.
GameFi leverages blockchain technology and has recently altered the course of gaming’s history. This online gaming paradigm takes on new meaning while also offering gamers an interactive gaming experience. Furthermore, with the emergence of NFTs and the metaverse, it is evolving into something more robust and exciting, namely SocialFi.
SocialFi combines Social and Finance. Blockchain solutions like crypto and NFTs power the new social economy. Creators can monetize their social impact directly.
From Entertainment to Earning: The Gaming Evolution
Video games have been around since the early 1970s. The emergence of gaming consoles was the first significant development in this space. However, significant technological improvements occurred with the debut of the Sega Dreamcast. which was the first significant development in this space.
Gaming’s original purpose was to bring friends and families together for a good time. However, with the introduction of internet gaming, gamers moved from playing for fun to boosting their competitiveness globally. And this gave birth to some of the earliest eSports leagues.
Then came the smartphones that disrupted the gaming industry. The ease o...
|  | GameFi Project ArchLoot Provides NFT User Builder for Creative Playabili...
PRESS RELEASE. Singapore, May 3, 2022 – NFTs have disrupted the gaming industry with their unique benefits. It has been gaining popularity as many have welcomed the advent of play-to-earn (P2E) for considerable rewards, with also disquiet over the unwelcome intrusion of commerce into the escapist world of gaming.
Web3 games are supposed to consist of two things people crave - entertainment and the possibility of making money, with the scales not tipping to either end. Shaking work-to-earn off from play-to-earn space is undoubtedly an urgent mission for all builders.
Launched in 2022, ArchLoot intends to provide an ideal practice of blending playability and sustainability with profitability in the new era of GameFi 2.0. Using the lessons learned from play-to-earn development, the game has been balanced and enhanced, keeping the core elements of what made the P2E model attractive, while incorporating interactive NFT technology that could not be implemented in any other games before.
Bridge UGC with NFTs
ArchLoot is an adventurous RPG. User-generated content, in this case, users' design of in-game avatars, is the heart of the game. Gamers can customize and battle with their very own monster.
Over hundreds of mix-matchable parts (all NFTs), including torso, head, upper limb, lower limb, and accessories, make for endless customization options. The assembling happens in a particular 'evolve' builder in the game. Here you can stretch, scale, and place these parts anywhere, an...

|  | Artyfact: A Next-Gen GameFi Metaverse Aimed at Disrupting the NFT Indust...
Metaverse is one of the hottest topics in the crypto industry right now. In simpler terms, it is a concept used to describe a virtual world where people can interact with each other like they do in the real world.
The possibilities of the metaverse are endless, and there are multiple virtual worlds, with each one having its own unique purpose. Some metaverses are designed for a single purpose, while others are multi-functional, covering activities such as gaming, concerts, learning, etc.
Gaming metaverses have become more popular than ever, and they involve trending concepts like GameFi, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and Web3. Today, there are many first-generation projects, but the lack of high quality graphics, modern integrated games, and other opportunities enhances the development of next-generation metaverse projects.
Artyfact is just one of the projects aiming to change this narrative. In contrast to platforms developed earlier, Artyfact is the first metaverse built using Unreal Engine 5, a tool believed to be able to deliver the most advanced, real-time photorealistic visuals and otherwise immersive experiences. Artyfact offers multiple earning opportunities to gamers, avid NFT collectors, artists, influencers, brands, and other interested participants.
What is Artyfact?
Artyfact is a metaverse project that aims to revolutionize the NFT market using two major areas of its virtual world.
The Artyfact metaverse is divided into urban and gaming areas. Urban areas are parts...

[PRESS RELEASE - Singapore, Singapore, 7th April 2022]
MOBLAND, the first-ever Mafia-themed Metaverse has announced a partnership with Wormhole, the largest cross-chain interoperability protocol to build GameFi 2.0 cross-chain bridging solution. All the while, MOBLAND’s Mafia-as-a-DAO governance system has been the #1 NFT collection on Binance NFT (all-time volume) for 4 months running.

Built in collaboration with Wormhole, MOBLAND’s players and NFT owners maintain ownership of the in-game assets across all chains. In the case of generic NFT bridges, when an NFT is moved to a destination chain it is minted in a newly generated contract that the bridge itself controls. This takes the power away from the ass...

Lately, the crypto market has been hit by certain short-term impacts as a result of Anton Nell and Andre Cronje’s departure from crypto. As the market pins its hope on new projects, investors are also in an urgent search for promising projects.

|  | MetaBlaze: New GameFi Token Designed as Bridge to the Metaverse Future
The use case of blockchain has gone beyond just being the backbone of cryptocurrencies. The technology is disrupting many industries, such as the online video gaming field.
For nearly 50 years, gamers were at the mercy of conventional corporate structures as they only played games for entertainment and relaxation. However, blockchain has changed that narrative. GameFi projects now offer gamers the opportunity to earn rewards in cryptocurrency while doing what they do best, thanks to blockchain concepts like NFTs and Play-to-Earn (P2E).
For clarity, the term GameFi was derived from the words 'game' and 'finance.' It uses the P2E model and combines blockchain, NFTs, cryptocurrency, and game mechanics to create a platform that allows players to earn in the process of gaming.
But this is only just the beginning. The massive surge in play-to-earn blockchain games and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) has fueled interest in the Metaverse, a term used to describe a virtual world where people can socialize, work, play, and earn using avatars.
Interestingly, as the GameFi market continues to grow, more projects are emerging, creating more earning opportunities with a blend of blockchain gaming, NFTs, and Metaverse. One such project is MetaBlaze.
What is MetaBlaze?
MetaBlaze is a decentralized metaverse ecosystem that is building a robust network of value-added utilities to help users maximize their metaverse investments. The platform is integrating several emerging trends within the digital ...

|  | GameFi – Play Hard, Earn Hard
DeFi
DeFi (Decentralized Finance) burst into 2020 with resounding success, rising from a combined $900M market cap in January 2020 to $253B by the end of 2021. DeFi offered true decentralization of finance by automating transactions through the blockchain. DeFi also provides optional yet lucrative features such as staking. However, the cryptocurrency market moves quickly, with innovation always one step ahead. As 2022 began, Google search trends started to slow down for DeFi, with GameFi growing in popularity.
GameFi
GameFi expanded upon this by building DeFi and blockchain features onto the foundation of a game. These features capitalized on the growing population of professional gamers, E-Sports, Twitch streamers, and YouTubers. Previously, Esports streamers made income playing and competing in a game – Hobby becoming a career. This profession was not without faults. Professionals would be subject to the rules and popularity of their platform, strict advertising criteria, and trending games.
Thus, GameFi was born. Using DeFi, control is taken away from centralized companies and back into the hands of the investor. From the first-time investor to the professional gamer – GameFi welcomes all to take control of their assets and accrue wealth. An example of this is NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens). NFTs are assets turned into holdable tokens. Due to this, DeFi features such as staking and renting, become usable on NFTs. Therefore, rather than money squandered on a virtua...

[PRESS RELEASE - Please Read Disclaimer]
Singapore-based game finance (GameFii) blockchain startup, Ethlas, announced on Feb. 15 that it has secured $2.7 million in seed funding from investors such as Sequoia Capital India, Yield Guild Games Southeast Asia, Global Blockchain Innovative Capital, Venturra Capital, Play It Forward DAO, Blockchain Space and executives from Grab, Coinbase and CoinMarketCap.
The hitherto stealth start-up has also unveiled the identities of two of its four founders: American Gennady ‘Ari’ Medvinsky and Singaporean Elston Sam, both of whom have worked in top tech companies such as Google, Microsoft, Grab and Airbnb. The identities of the other two founders — one of whom is a very senior executive with a big tech firm — will be disclosed in due course.
The three-month-old Ethlas is the first GameFi startup founded in Singapore to have secured serious investor money, underlining the confidence that VCs have in this fledgling tech startup that first launched quietly in November 2021. Built on the Polygon blockchain, Ethlas has chalked up over 100,000 crypto-wallet users globally and scored some 3 million gameplays on its platform as of end-January 2022. The rapid scale that Ethlas used to achieve product-market fit has been one of the key reasons for its seed fundraising success.
