Gamers are already flocking to non-fungible tokens. But in 2022, they’ll be earning crypto for playing games like never before. Some games have begun to experiment with this idea in recent years. Still, the big shift will occur in 2022 as more projects enter the market and blend cryptocurrency mining with game design and gameplay mechanics.
NFTs have taken center stage in gaming, allowing players to purchase and trade their digital assets with NFT technology. Thus, a growing number of games allow players to earn crypto rewards. Many of these games offer high-quality digital art and other collectible items transferable to other platforms and games. Players can exchange these assets for rare virtual items or even fiat currency. Here are some upcoming projects that aim to make this possible in 2022:
RaceFi
RaceFi is a decentralized game built on the Ethereum blockchain that allows players to race virtual cars and earn crypto through mining. Players have complete control over their cars, and there is no centralized server that can manipulate or control the player’s car. The platform allows players to buy, sell and trade cars with other users based on their performance capabilities ranging from race cars, supercars, hypercars, and classic cars. As each car has its unique characteristics, it’s up to players to decide which vehicle best fits their racing style.
Battle of the Guardians
Battle of the Guardians is an NFT game that combines RPG and strategy mechanics with blockchain technology. Developed by Terra Virtua, the game allows players to collect and trade digital artifacts, NFTs and avatars.
In this game, players will travel across three continents as they try to defeat the evil dragon overlord that rules them. Unlike other games where you have to upgrade or buy new equipment for your character, Battle of the Guardians features a unique guardian system. You can choose up to nine guardians to accompany your character on their journey.
As one of the most promising upcoming blockchain games, Battle of the Guardians features stunning 3D graphics and a unique guardian system where players can choose up to nine guardians to accompany their characters on their journey.
Polygonum
It is a competitive auction-based game, where players will be able to buy and sell island plots at auction. This is another new prediction market game slated to go live on the Ethereum mainnet. Players will be able to predict which cryptocurrencies will rise and fall in value over time using their native token of the same name, Polygonum.
Players can play the role of either a buyer or seller in this game. As per the reports, when buyers purchase plots, they make money, and when sellers sell, they earn money too. Players can also build a community of people for their plot on Polygonum.
Rainmaker
A Rainmaker is an ERC-721 token that mints rewards based on how much Ether (ETH) is staked on Polygon. The more ETH locked in Rainmaker’s contract, the more rewards are distributed to those who own a Rainmaker NFT. The project already has working beta versions of its games and aims to incentivize players to make predictions on real-world events like sports, weather, politics and more.
