P2E usage skyrocketed %2000
A surge in gaming blockchain users has been happening over the past days. The trend is picking up on the upward trajectory once again with a few changes happening in this developing space.
Despite the negative effects caused by macro trends such as the Ukraine War and major hacks such as the one that happened on the Ronin chain, there has been a % 2000 growth in the user case compared to the same period last year.
The ongoing development has been further sustained by regular VC investment playing as a significant catalyst igniting the gaming blockchain industry. The public has currently seen a total investment of $ 2.5 billion so far and yet it is just the start. Let’s also not forget that blockchain games attracted 1.22 million unique active wallets (UAW) in March, accounting for 52% of the industry’s activity.
As far as the analysis per blockchain is concerned, we would not underestimate the importance of Polygon Matic in the gaming infrasructure. Matic is becoming a more serious contender each day fuelled by impressive play to earn games like Pegaxy, Arc8 or Aavegotchi.
Furthermore, some major events such as The Sandbox Alpha Season 2, Decentraland’s Fashion Week and many features displayed by NFT World (check here) are key indicators that the metaverse is ready to evolve.
Metawana - Grow, Earn and Battle!
Metawana is another great example that has opted a game approach consisted of grow, battle and earning attributes. We have previously seen similar games following these patterns with the examples of Plant Exodus and Nunu Spirits in our previous articles.
The breeding / farming gaming style gives to the player the time and flexibility to apply complex strategic skills, and with the Free Play to Play gaming mechanism, the barrier is reduced to participate into the game, making it more fair to the larger audience.
Mines of Dalarnia - Mainnet on the 26th of April
Mainnets are considered as one of the most important events in the blockchain industry. A mainnet means that a company is ready to present the end-product to the public and make it accessible to use.
One of the convincing advantages of this original project is the superior capabilities of the blockchain which the game is built on, which in this case is the Chromia Blockchain. As a result, it enables developers to build dApps much faster with its unique intuitive design process. Signing up on the Chromium vault gives users access to more mines and better loot.
For the ones who have already tried the Testnet and Alpha versions of the game, many rewards will be awaiting for early participants during the mainnet phase. Some example of the rewards include DAR tokens, NFTs used as a mining pass or for cosmetic purpose making the gaming character more valuable.
Another aspect of the game we personally liked is the flexible gaming economy Mines of Dalarnia provides. Players can earn DAR tokens by completing in-game missions, inviting friends to join, or winning competitions. DAR tokens is the governance currency in the World of Dalarnia. Anyone can play the game in their browser without having to download it.
As far as the DAR token concerned, the value is consolidating between the $1 - $1.10 range. With the all time high of $4,35 last year in April and the mainnet ahead, it could be a great opportunity to add it in the investment portfolio. Of course, Bitcoin needs also to behave decently in order for the DAR token to reach the expected targets.
