TOP GameFi Blockchains
WAX has gained a lot of popularity. Its projects generated 350 thousand unique wallets every day. The most popular games are Alien Worlds and Farmers World.
Despite a large player base, blockchain dominance has declined by 31% compared to Q2. At the end of June, the network concentrated 82% of the UAW, and a month later, the figure dropped to 51%.
BSC gained a part of the audience from WAX. Its share increased by 20%, while 608K UAWs were recorded daily, 28% of which were games on the blockchain. Growth in comparison with the previous quarter is 1,701%.
The most popular gaming project on this blockchain is CryptoBlades. In addition, reading the NFT games news, it’s clear that MOBOX and CryptoBay are also attracting players’ attention.
Solana is growing in popularity as the Star Atlas project grows, whose launch is scheduled for 2022. A less popular game is Aurory, which will have PVE and PVP modes.
Separately, it is worth mentioning the role-playing action game Project Seed, where users will have to fight all sorts of creatures on digital gaming land plots. Cryowar on the Unreal engine with PVP mode and Ninja Game (also an action RPG) is similar to Diablo in gameplay.
Polygon attracted 30,000 daily UAWs in September, which is 373% more than in Q2 — largely thanks to the launch of the Arc8 project by Gamee, a subsidiary of Animoca Brands.
Also noteworthy are Aavegotchi and Revv Racing. In the future, Polygon is expected to integrate with projects such as Sandbox, Ember Sword, Doctor Who: Worlds Apart.
Immutable X is represented mainly by activity in the games Gods Unchained and Guild of Guardians — the latter has 150K users. We are waiting for the release of Illuvium, a high-budget project developed by a large studio.
TOP NFT Games of Q3
Axie Infinity
The game has become a real record holder, surpassing in sales such popular NFT collections as CryptoPunks and NBA Top Shot.
The trading volume from July to October amounted to $2.08 billion, or 83% of the project’s revenues in the entire history of its existence. The game’s revenue reached $800 million. It surpassed all other projects on this indicator and is second only to Ethereum.
In Q3, Axie Infinity started AXS staking. Ten thousand first participants received rewards from the total pool of 800,000 AXS. At the beginning of October, 30% of AXS in turnover (17.8 million) was stacked, amounting to $2.15 billion.
Splinterlands
The project on the Hive blockchain became quite popular in September. In the first month of autumn, the UAW figure was 245 thousand per day. The number of players increased by 3267% compared to the end of June. The number of transactions increased by 177%, and the volume of generated funds increased by 1200% ($1.18 million).
The game generates 98% of transactions on the Hive network. The basis of its growth was the SPS token launched in August. Its holders will be able to vote for the future of the project.
The developers are planning to improve the game mechanics. This process has already begun with the addition of Chaos Legion cards. You can get the set in exchange for a voucher given for staking SPS.
You can get Dark Energy Crystals (DEC), farmed in the game thanks to the new cards. This feature directly influenced the P2E strategy.
Sandbox
The project’s revenue for Q3 was $56.37 million. The developers engaged in partnerships with Atari, The Walking Dead, and Snoop Dogg. The collaboration spurred the purchase of land plots, generating over $17 million in profits.
