Blockchain Gaming Report

Нови извештај ДаппРадар је објавио да је индустрија веб3 игара имала снажан почетак 2023. године, са 156 милиона долара прикупљених у десет инвестиција у јануару.

Међу значајним развојима, ТреасуреДАО се појавио као платформа за изградњу метаверзалних пројеката, Скуаре Еник је лансирао своју прву НФТ игру, а Цоуртсиде Вентурес је уложио 100 милиона долара у свој трећи фонд ризичног капитала фокусиран на спорт, колекционарство, веллнесс и игре. Укупна вредност инвестиција у веб3 игре и метаверсе пројекте износила је 156 милиона долара.

Сектор крипто игара такође је забележио пораст активности на ланцу, са дневним активним новчаником (дУАВ) порастао за 1.31% на 858,621 и чинио 48% активности дАпп у јануару. У просеку, тржишна капа за врхунске играчке токене је порасла за 122%, а ГАЛА предњачи са 218%.

Additionally, trading volume for virtual worlds (experiential metaverse) experienced significant growth in January 2023, reaching $44.5 million, a 114% increase from December 2022. The success of metaverse dApps, such as The Sandbox and Decentraland, has contributed to the significant growth in trading volume for virtual worlds, according to the report.

“The surge of the top gaming tokens in January 2023 is a very positive sign for the industry. The on-chain metrics are bullish, and the hype surrounding these coins is only growing.”

Other successes in the sector included the launch of the Sewer Pass from Yuga Labs, which created $44.6 million in trading volume in just two weeks. In addition, the pass granted access to the limited-time game Dookie Dash which holders played to make them “eligible for the summoning.”

Increased web2 interest

Kai Bond, a partner at Courtside Ventures, shared his investment thesis as a part of the report;

“The biggest outcomes always come at the intersection of a new form of distribution and a new type of monetization. The promise of Web3 is in the same space, and Courtside Ventures is well-positioned to capitalize on it.”

Legacy gaming companies, which are not web3 native, have also continued to dip their toes in the crypto water. Japanese game publisher Square Enix is launching its first NFT game, Symbiogenesis, on the Polygon network. The story-driven game features 10,000 NFT characters and turn-based play on a floating continent threatened by a dragon. Players will not be required to hold an NFT to access the game, yet it will add “extra value,” and character NFT holders can create replica NFTs to share story information with other players.

“This move by Square Enix is a clear indication that blockchain gaming is becoming more mainstream and that traditional gaming companies are taking notice[…] The outlook is positive, and we look forward to seeing the blockchain gaming industry continue to grow and innovate in the future. So game on.”
