The widely successful combination of genetic algorithms and NFTs was first introduced by this project. Newer, more elaborate games from Axie Infinity to Zed run illustrate the cutting edge of token systems powering leading games.ĬryptoKitties was one of the earliest attempts to deploy blockchain technology for leisure and a pioneer in NFTs. We purposefully included NFT classics like CryptoKitties and Gods Unchained to provide some historical context and trace the evolution of P2E 2.0. The five games we present are meant to give an overview of current P2E 2.0 mechanics and the selection in no way constitutes a ranked list or attempts to be comprehensive (there are hundreds of blockchain-based P2E games by now). Leading P2E 2.0 games and their economics
In this piece, we’re analysing some major games that have emerged up to this point, and especially look into the mechanisms they employ. P2E 2.0 games are onboarding an entire new class of users to crypto, and are therefore crucial for the cryptocurrency industry at large. The pandemic significantly accelerated the P2E 2.0 movement as people were at once bored at home and often without their usual source of income – what better in that situation than an online game that not just provides entertainment, but a stream of income? This mini documentary shows how Axie Infinity is supporting or even entirely substituting the income of struggling households in emerging markets during COVID. The addition of crypto tokens to fundamental game dynamics is what could enable P2E 2.0 to break out to a mass audience.This is primarily achieved by connecting the economics of the game with real-world finance, and by making in-game assets own-able and transferable on a blockchain. In contrast to previous P2E games, where only the most competitive tournament players could earn from their passion, every gamer earns by playing in the emerging crypto-powered version of P2E. As gaming intersects with crypto, we are observing a new version of the play-to-earn (P2E) paradigm – call it P2E 2.0. Competitive gaming, or ‘Esports’ is increasingly part of mainstream culture, as revenues for platforms are projected to exceed $1bn this year. The average gamer spends 8+ hours per week playing in the digital realm. In today’s digitiszed world, gaming is becoming increasingly more relevant.
