At the moment, there is no shortage of innovative projects in Web3 gaming, each of which is vying for the title of the future of the gaming industry. Let’s take a look at some of the most interesting and promising projects of 2023.
Axie Infinity
Sky Mavis released Axie Infinity in 2018. This NFT game has earned the unofficial title of best Web3 game, largely thanks to its active community, which is always ready to support the project. The game belongs to the play-to-earn genre and is available on the Ethereum and Ronin blockchains.
Axie Infinity is somewhat reminiscent of Pokémon video games, except that the creatures are called Axies. Before entering battle, players train their creatures. At the end of the battle, the winners receive crypto assets.
How to earn money?
Players receive Smooth Love Potion, or SLP, daily by logging into the system, participating in in-game adventures, and winning battles. SLP can be exchanged for fiat or cryptocurrency.
Breeding and trading Axies is another way to earn money with Axie Infinity. On the Axie Marketplace, participants can exchange creatures and sell them.
The Sandbox
The Sandbox is a Web3 gaming platform that allows developers to share and monetize their voxel assets and game creations. This decentralized, community-driven gaming ecosystem offers players a “blank canvas” to unleash their creativity and build exciting places where users can interact with each other.
How to earn money?
In Sandbox, players create unique items that can be sold as part of the gaming platform.
As more players invest in the game, increasing its value, selling LAND in The Sandbox can easily increase your wealth.
In addition, Sandbox players can lease their land to third parties, including developers.
Another way to profit is to earn SAND by participating in tournaments or playing platformers within the project’s ecosystem.
Ember Sword
The world of Ember Sword is built on a dystopian moon. Landowners can participate in alpha testing, with the website itself serving as a marketplace for selling land. You have a choice: play for free or use the play-pay-earn functionality.
Ethereum is required to track land ownership and obtain NFTs. The in-game currency, Ember (ERC-20 token), can be purchased directly in the game. The token must be used to purchase real estate and collectible in-game NFTs.
CryptoBlades
To participate in battles in the CryptoBlades game, based on Binance Smart Chain (BSC), you need to create and equip characters. At the moment, this is one of the most famous cryptocurrency gaming projects, paying out more than $3 million to participants every day. CryptoBlades has a monthly transaction volume of $99.65 million.
How to earn money?
Players earn money by winning battles and selling characters and in-game items (NFTs). You need a Metamask wallet to play the game. The user first purchases BNB and then exchanges it for the internal CryptoBlades token (SKILL). In the game, you can buy characters, weapons, and complete in-game tasks.
Depending on the player’s level, the prize for winning a battle is approximately 0.05 SKILL (it can be more or less). Tokens can be withdrawn, used in the game, or exchanged for fiat currency. The withdrawal fee is 15%, but it decreases by 1% daily.
Alien Worlds
Alien Worlds boasts one of the fastest growing and largest user bases. Currently, there are over 2.7 million active players, and every month, about 745,000 new users register in their Metaverse.
Alien Worlds is the only gaming project that operates simultaneously on three networks: Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, and WAX. As of September 2021, the game had weekly large transactions totaling $5.74 million.
How to earn money?
Users can trade various in-game NFT items and receive TLM, the game’s native token. Users can also mine TLM tokens if they have a WAX wallet—this is done without the player’s active participation. Players don’t need to worry about how to withdraw money from the platform, as the mined tokens immediately appear in the user’s wallet.
The amount you invest initially determines how much money you can earn in Alien Worlds. Players can earn from tens to several thousand dollars a month from mining alone. The creators promise to add multiplayer battles, team quests, and other features, but the full functionality of the game is still unknown — it is constantly expanding.
