What Makes Gaming and the Metaverse a Perfect Fit for Blockchain?

1. True Ownership of Assets
Blockchain technology enables players to own their in-game items and assets through NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens). This ensures digital items such as weapons, skins, and collectibles can be bought, sold, or traded freely across platforms.

2. Play-to-Earn (P2E) Models
Crypto-powered games redefine traditional gaming economics. With P2E mechanics, players can earn real-world value, such as cryptocurrencies, while engaging in gameplay.

3. Interoperability
The metaverse thrives on interconnectedness. Blockchain technology allows seamless integration of assets and avatars across multiple virtual worlds.

4. Decentralized Governance
Many crypto-gaming projects empower their communities by offering governance tokens, enabling users to vote on platform changes and decisions.

Challenges and Opportunities

Despite their potential, crypto gaming and metaverse projects face hurdles such as scalability, regulatory scrutiny, and the high cost of entry for some users. However, advancements in blockchain scalability and wider adoption of cryptocurrencies could further enhance accessibility and growth.

What is Axie Infinity?

Axie Infinity is an NFT game based on the Etherium (ETH) blockchain. The game was made in 2018 by a Vietnamese developer, Sky Mavis. Up until now, Axie Infinity is still a game that is in great demand by many people.

Some people invest their money in this game, while others who don’t have enough money to buy their own Axies can participate in this game by becoming a scholar. This game used a turn-based fighting style with Axies as the character, which has a variety of skills in it.

$SLP Token Rewards

The token reward from this game is Smooth Love Potion or also known as SLP. Players can earn up to hundreds of SLP in a day depending on the Axie skills they have. But there are also those who only get 10 SLP in a day because their Axies aren’t good enough or because of the matchmaking and draw card systems in this game.

In this game, each player must have at least 3 Axies to play the game. However, the maximum number of Axie ownership is not limited by the developer and players who have at least 10 Axie will benefit from additional energy to play, also applies to multiples, but the developer limits each player to only getting a maximum of 60 energies per day to play this game.

Axie Infinity itself will start a new season sooner this year called the Origin season, where all of the gameplay will slightly change. In the Origin season the game will present more interesting gameplay. There will be runes and charms that can be used on each Axie they have.

In addition, players can also buy various runes and charms through the official marketplace to add skills to their Axies. Both runes and charms can be crafted for free by playing against bots on adventure mode. Axies will have additional skills on their eyes and ears. Another difference in the origin season is that the speed and morale of each Axie will no longer be used, but only the initial skills on the body and HP on each Axie itself will still be used.
