As Non-Fungible Token (NFT) games like Axie Infinity reach new heights, it validates that the NFT trend is still here and will not go away anytime soon.

According to Non-Fungible.com, between 20,000 and 40,000 unique buyers in any 30 days between March 1 and May 31 2021, they also estimated around $2 billion spent on NFTs. Since Axie Infinity is the most trending right now, we have to look at its statistics, and according to Coinmarketcap, its main token AXS has posted a weekly gain of 120 percent. Such appreciation in value has given the token a boost in its market value by $1.1 billion.

This phenomenon drives demand in the Axie ecosystem and helps other NFT-games gain attention in the community. So today, we’re going to talk about five (6) NFT games that we look forward to, which might be the next trendsetter of further adoption of cryptocurrencies.

1. My Defi Pet

Now, we’ll talk about My DeFi Pet, how to play it, the DPET Token, its price, the rarity of pets, and if you should play it. Will it prove to be a solid competitor to the Axie Infinity community? Or will it take over entirely? Please find out more as we discuss it.

My DeFi Pet was launched by the first decentralized, interoperable blockchain platform in Vietnam and South East Asia called KardiaChain in May 2021. It was developed in coordination with TopeBox, a game developer in Vietnam whose previous releases, like Sky Dancer and Thief Rivals, had millions of global downloads. My DeFi Pet brings traditional game experiences and DeFi features to NFT collectibles. They also feature their own monsters to battles that can participate in events to claim prizes per season.

My DeFi Pet is the company’s vision of a mass-adoption blockchain game. The name features the three characteristics of the game, which are “My” for personalization, “DeFi” for features integrated, and “Pet” for a pet raising game. The game revolves around engaging activities such as collecting, breeding, evolving, battling, and trading. In addition, my DeFi Pet uses the concept of “Season” to break down the game progress into smaller parts. This mechanism complements the human tendency for short-term rewards.

How does it work?

The DPET token is the main in-game currency of My DeFi Pet, a non-refundable functional utility token used for exchange between players of My DeFi Pet. The Tokens are used for summoning new eggs, breeding, and evolving monsters. Additionally, DPET tokens can be used to enter special events. Players can also vote for new features and settings to earn special rewards through the governance system. By locking DPET tokens, players will earn voting power, allowing them to have a higher chance of winning rewards. As of writing, 1 DPET is equal to USD 4.50 on July 17, 2021. 2 weeks ago, 1 DPET is only around $0.50.

You can see the video below of the review made by a 9 -year -old girl. Because of the game, she has started to get used to storing assets in METAMASK accounts and getting involved in DeFi technology with non-custodial assets management.

This kind of system provides a “win-win” situation as participants who contribute to the ecosystem will be compensated for their efforts. For example, users will be rewarded with DPET tokens and random rewards to encourage them to spend on activities within the system/game, allowing more adoptions, breedings, or evolution of pets — expanding the ecosystem, therefore, making it able to accommodate more people.

My DeFi Pet is a combination of top-tier traditional game developers and a leading blockchain team. Check out the structure below.

All DPET tokens and NFT tokens will be available and tradable in the cross-blockchain via Binance Smart Chain and KardiaChain. Furthermore, due to the non-invasive and connectivity of KardiaChain, it can offer the game to other blockchain communities such as Ethereum and Polkadot.

2. GUILD OF GUARDIANS

Guild of Guardians is a free-to-play mobile blockchain-based RPG game operating on Ethereum blockchain with more than 130,000+ players on their waitlist. This game has been backed by notable brands & investors like Animoca Brands, a famous game development company, and Yield Guild Games (YGG), a Filipino-led group specializing in blockchain-powered gaming.

Guild of Guardians is still in its first development phase, where players can begin collecting founder heroes. The developers aim to release the game on mobile in early 2022.

What Are Guilds?

Guilds are the central part of Guild of Guardians as the developers believe that the cooperative social aspect of games makes them so much fun, and they want players to play together while earning together. But, how does the guild work? And what benefits can it give to a player of the game?

NFT items on Guild of Guardians can only be created through what the game called “Guild Crafting”, as Guild of Guardians game developers do not sell items.

This makes Guild Crafting important as the primary play-to-earn mechanic of the game. Players who are part of the guild will have to contribute resources to the Guild treasury, which can be used to craft various items, and every player who contributes will earn their share when the NFT crafted through Guild Crafting is sold on the marketplace.

Type Of Guilds

Adventurer’s Guild: 20 members capacity, 1 percent of guild crafting sales
Warriors Guild: 30 members capacity, 2.5 percent of guild crafting sales
Legends Guild: 40 members, 5 percent of guild crafting sales
Mythic Guild: 50 members, 10 percent of guild crafting sales

Guild of Guardians is also planning to implement Guild ranking and leaderboard competitions with NFT or token prizes for the top guilds that may serve as another play-to-earn mechanism that allows them to distribute player token rewards to players who are actively playing the game.

3. EMBER SWORD

Ember Sword is a free-to-play massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) operating under Ethereum blockchain where players can create their own character, pick a home nation, and venture into the action-packed classless combat system by defeating monsters, bosses, and other players, or just explore the world as a peaceful forager of goods and rares, making a name for yourself as a talented refiner and craftsman.

Bright Star Studios, founded in 2018, secured over $2 million funding from multiple investors that will be used to develop Ember Swords further. They aim to enable a high-quality immersive player-first gaming experience supported by an innovative play-to-earn economy powered by blockchain.

Importance of Lands

Those people who bought lands can explore the Ember Sword world by placing resources, monsters, and non-player characters (NPC) that can be turned into a profit by creating services and experiences like vendor marketplaces where other players buy in-game subscriptions, access auctions, and more.

Further, landowners can get 50 percent of all the revenues generated inside the world of Ember Worlds. They can also earn if valuables are found in their land, or when a facility on their land has been used.

Ember Sword will sell a variety of types of lands. Land parcels that contain towns and cities are a lot more expensive than a regular ones. However, these are the type of lands that will attract more players, and more players mean more income, resources, and assets for the owner.

Earning Distribution

When a trade occurs in particular land, the revenue isn’t only shared with the landowner. Instead, it spreads out to surrounding landowners as well.

4. ILLUVIUM

Illivium is an open-world RPG adventure game operating under the Ethereum blockchain. The game is integrated with Immutable, a hyper-scalable layer-two solution that helps expand the game as it provides zero-gas fees for minting and exchanging assets.

The game minted its own in-game currency, “Illivium” (ILV), and is now available to be purchased on centralized and decentralized exchanges like Sushi, 1Inch, Gate.io, and Bitcoin.com.

The game has been in development since 2020 and is created by more than 40 professionals with vast experience across the gaming and cryptocurrency sector.

The game is also backed by well-known names in the industry, including Quantstamp, a leader in blockchain security; Moonwhale, an STO financial advisory firm; Bitcoin.com, one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges.

What are Illuvials?

Illuvials are the monsters that players use in exploring seven (7) unique and stylized regions of the game. Players can also capture Illuvials by beating them in battles and nursing them back to health, and players can then use the captured Illuvials in their adventures.

The Illuvials captured are NFTs that are minted on the blockchain, which can then be sold on Illivium exchange which lets players earn while playing the game.

Further, Illivium also offers weapons, armors, and other in-game NFTs, which can also be sold in the marketplace.

5. HODLGOD

HodlGod is a fantasy 3D PVP Battle Royale game operating under the WAX blockchain. The game has been in production since September of 2019 which was initially designed to be a turn-based browser game.

However, the team behind it is not happy with its result, so they completely reworked it in August 2020. Now, it is standing on its pre-alpha stage and hopefully completes and launches by the first quarter of 2022.

Void Tokens

HodlGod players can roam the chaotic arenas and have the opportunity to find and retrieve NFTs that are hidden on the battlefield. Furthermore, to further increase their earnings, the team behind the game ensures that each of the NFTs will provide additional avenues for generating cash flow by staking more VOID tokens.

The more VOID tokens staked in your NFTs, the more you can level up your own collection of NFTs, which increases your overall staking capacity and the value of NFT itself. Further, every player also had the option to burn their NFTs to get more VOID tokens.

Renting System

To balance the game economics, the lending or renting system is also one of the players’ choices in order to earn more in the game. If players choose to stake their NFTs, a duplicate version will remain in their WAX Cloud wallet, so they can still use their skin in-game.

However, suppose they already have the same skin and players want to liquidate the other one. In that case, players can lend it out to other players to have the opportunity to try it out for a set amount of time while the owner of the skin generates income.

Stream-To-Earn

HodlGod players can also earn VOID tokens through streaming, and this allows all players of all skills to reap the benefits of making money through the game while streaming.

As long as you remain streaming, you will continue to mine VOID, and as more VOID is currently held in your wallet, the greater the amount that will be rewarded to you.

6. BINEMON

Binemon is a virtual pet NFT game with elements of an idle RPG game operating under the Draken blockchain. The game style of Binemon is similar to Axie Infinity which lets players collect, trade eggs, ambrosia (fuse monsters), and battle with each other to earn cryptocurrency rewards.

The team behind Binemon is currently focused on game rules, player experience, champions story, quests, and player interaction expansion.

Why Draken Blockchain?

As Binemon is focused on the gameplay experience, blockchain is essential to scale up to millions of players. Draken blockchain can scale up to 5,000 transactions per second with a block-time of only 2 seconds. Further, its gas fees are cheap, and its Dark Privacy Protocol feature brings customization and high security, which is in line with the constantly upgrading nature of NFT games.

Play-To-Earn Mechanics

On its second development phase called “Artemis”, the Binemon team plans to release a PvE Campaign that lets players complete the main quest to receive rewards and unlock new features. In addition, Binemon will open its web-version marketplace, enabling players to sell their NFTs and earn income.

Phase 3 will incorporate team battles for PvP, and players who win in the arena will receive big prizes.

Phase 4 will incorporate PvE — Tower in which players battle non-player characters (NPC) on each level to receive a prize with difficulty increased as players climb up the tower. This phase will also incorporate minted gears as NFTs that players can also sell on the marketplace.

Phase 5 will incorporate rewards systems such as daily and weekly quest rewards and rewards based on your active time playing Binemon (10mins, 30mins, 1hour).

PvE — Dungeons in which players complete Dungeons to earn rewards and BineLand GvG which lets guilds battle each other to seize more lands on the map.

Should I jump in on the crazes?

People are jumping in this boat because of the price and potential of this project that utilizes blockchain technology. Games in Blockchain and also using NFT’s technology have just begun. So it is very early and has great potential as it is a solution.

CoinBox Finance offers opportunities for users who want to have tokens from the Game. The token can be stored in the CoinBox Finance wallet by simply entering the Smart Contract address for ERC20 and BEP20.
