GameFi Corner: GamerGains, AvaWars, Victree and much more...
A lot has been happening these days in the Web 3, Play to Earn and Metaverse. Some companies have managed to be fully innovative like GamerGains/Open Blox - Web 3 integration into Web 2 and Game Lounge with the new Chill to Earn economic model.
Some examples such as AvaWars or Axes.io might have a similar style as other projects, even though they have done an excellent job to keep the gameplay sophisticated and fun by including a battled style theme with the inclusion of attractive tokenomics.
Finally, we wrote about Victree and Dark Earth, both projects at an early stage of development that have already attracted a lot of attention thanks to their uniqueness and very interesting roadmaps ahead of this year.

GamerGains - Web 3 integration into Web 2
While the majority has been focused to build Web 3 games from scratch, GamerGains has decided to implement Web 3 gaming technology into the existing Web 2 infrastructure, accelerating the adoption of Web 3 games. The platform is powered on the Solana blockchain.
The incredibly novel idea has resulted in a successful fund raising of 5,8 million, with FTX, Winklevoss Capital and BlockFi as the leading investors. GamerGains allowed to open the doors for console gamers to earn crypto rewards without the need to try out a completely new game in order to make an income.
AvaWar - Play and Earn Fantasy
An exciting month of May is coming here for the Avalanche gaming ecosystem. AvaWar plans to keep the players engaged with its new PVP battle game style. Thus, player skills are indeed very valued as it affects the $AWT earnings based on ‘kills, deaths and assists’ stats.
Furthermore, the game applies the Free to Play model, as it has become one of the safest approach to introduce new blockchain games. The minting for the whitelist is scheduled for the 7th of May at 20:00 UTC time while the official NFT listing is set for the 10th of May at 20:00 UTC time.
Axes Metaverse: The next P2E Game gem
The Axes Metaverse is the next step of the roadmap for the existing Axes.io game. It has already achieved impressive results with 35 million downloads on Apple Store, Google Store, Xbox and Playstation Store.
The game offers many ways of generating an income. For example, NFT land owners can build passive earning. Lands can be bought, sold, rent and even conquered during battles.
The metaverse is not only consisted of land, but also other NFT assets such as heroes and items that can be purchased as NFT equipment. Moreover, players need also to collect resources as part of utility. With the resources, participants can summon new heroes, spend on the marketplace or exchange for crypto.
What makes this P2E gem even more complete is the possibility to take part into guild tournaments and many gameplay options such as Campaign PvE, Arena PvP, Gamble Arena PvP and Tournament PvP.
Victree
Victree is a guild who is successfully leading 1350 scholars. In addition, it gives users the opportunity to stake in the most anticipated projects as well as becoming creators of the best NFT assets in play.
Another very interesting point of view is the fact that Victree is not only focused on the guilds but also use advanced data tools that help players to closely follow new gaming NFT trends.
The team is developing very rapidly, having increased its value of 50X during the last 6 months and completed successful investment deals totalling $1 million. The numbers are impressive for a project that is at an early stage like that. The new tools are currently in the Beta phase and it is expected to be launched publicly most likely during the start of Q3.
Dark Earth
We would like to present to you a fresh start-up project out of the box, which has recently gained more attention and even won a few days ago as the best start-up at the GSEIS2022 event specialized in sports and gaming.
Dark Earth is a dystopian future in which humanity seeks to build a colony on another planet as the Earth approaches the brink of extinction.
It is a large blockchain gaming ecosystem that opens its door to all kinds of players, from the most traditional ones who do not use blockchain technology, to the most expert in the use of this technology.
Dark Earth Card Battle will be the first game of this ecosystem, and it will be followed by a whole expansion of titles within the Dark Earth metaverse: MOBA, RTS, TBS, MMORPG, Shooter. The universe of Dark Earth is constantly evolving, its fate depends on the players’ decisions.
Game Lounge
Game Lounge might possibly offer the coolest way of making an income. The firm has been able to be very creative to develop an original concept known as ‘Chill to Earn’. With Game Lounge, it is possible to hang out with friends, build a customized lounge and become rewarded for that.
OpenBlox
OpenBlox, which employs ethereum virtual machine (EVM) technology in an effort to create a bridge between blockchains, also has an NFT marketplace in the works, and in the meantime has been partnering with a number of prominent gaming guilds.
The company raised $3 million at a $30 million valuation. The fundraise comes as a growing number of top-tier traditional game-makers including Ubisoft, and are looking to employ blockchain elements.
The challenge is to bridge passionate traditional video gamers who are accustomed to stunning graphics and engaging gameplay, with legions of crypto natives who may be less picky about the gameplay front, but more concerned with the blockchain technology at hand and the potential to make money as a consumer in exchange for their time and loyalty.
