Best Upcoming Crypto Games To Make $100 a Day - YouTube

- NFT-powered play-to-earn games  have quickly risen to become the  

fastest-growing sector of the crypto economy. - The play-to-earn model has stolen the  

spotlight from traditional games because of  the built-in incentives that shift power from  

game publishers and toward players. - With more than 3.2 billion gamers  

around the world, blockchain games  are set to become one of the primary  

drivers for mainstream crypto adoption. The rise of NFT-powered blockchain games  

has transformed the gaming industry by making  the players the primary financial beneficiaries  

and decision-makers in the ecosystem. Play-to-earn  gaming looks set to be one of the biggest drivers  

for mainstream crypto adoption over the  coming years, which is why Crypto Briefing  

has compiled a list of the most anticipated  titles to help readers stay ahead of the curve.

The rise of NFTs and the massive success of Axie  Infinity, the most popular blockchain game to  

date, have propelled the play-to-earn model into  the spotlight of the gaming space this year. 

Axie’s native token AXS has rallied  over 2,000% since the beginning of  

July and is currently boasting a market  capitalization of around $7.6 billion.  

With more than 2 million daily active  players, the game is currently one of  

the top revenue-generating protocols  in crypto, second only to Ethereum,  

with more than $850 million in revenue generated  from in-game transactions over the last 12 months.

Axie’s rise has revealed the demand for  crypto-based, player-owned games where the  

actual financial beneficiaries and decision-makers  are not the game developers or publishers.  

Instead, they are the players. With that, a new  breed of games was born — one where players can  

own and freely trade in-game assets and characters  to earn instead of spending money on updates. 

Several play-to-earn blockchain games have  launched over the last year. While some flopped,  

others like Gods Unchained, CryptoBlades,  Splinterlands, and Arc8 have gained huge momentum.  

Many of those who started playing these  games early made significant profits,  

prompting crypto speculators and gamers  alike to start looking for the next big hit.  

The following list details five of  the most promising titles to date.

5. Lightnite

Headshotting enemy players might be  one of the coolest ways to stack sats,  

and that’s precisely the joy this game  provides. Developed by Satoshi’s Games,  

Lightnite is a Fortnite-like online  multiplayer battle royale game  

where every in-game interaction between  players triggers a monetary reward or penalty.  

The Beta version is already live, whereas the full  version is scheduled for release in November 2021.

Lightnite implements an exciting twist  on the play-to-earn model because its  

monetary incentives go two ways: players who  out-skill others in PvP combat can earn Bitcoin,  

while those who get shot are  penalized and lose Bitcoin.

Lightnite leverages Bitcoin’s Layer 2 solution  Lightning Network to integrate microtransactions  

in the game. Every player has an in-game  balance that increases in real-time when  

he shoots other players or picks up valuable  items and decreases when he gets shot or dies.  

Players can withdraw their balance into their  wallets when they exit the game and then save  

it or spend it on whatever they’d like,  real-world and in-game items included.

4. The Sandbox

Developed by Pixowl Inc., Sandbox is a  virtual world that lets players build, own,  

and monetize their gaming experiences on the  Ethereum blockchain. Sandbox players can buy and  

own land, develop their games and in-game virtual  worlds, and trade in-game items such as NFT  

tickets to in-game concerts and amusement parks. Sandbox’s goal is to disrupt existing games like  

Minecraft and Roblox by providing the players and  in-game creators with ownership of their creations  

in the form of NFTs and rewarding them for their  ecosystem contributions. A limited Beta version  

of the game is already live, while the launch of  the first open alpha is scheduled for late 2021. 

The limited real estate of Sandbox’s in-game  territory is called LAND. It can be purchased with  

the in-game currency SAND, which is already issued  and has a current market capitalization of roughly  

$697 million. Moreover, players can also trade  NFTs representing all kinds of metaverse items,  

including avatar skins or merchandise  sold in player-owned in-game stores. 

Notably, while Sandbox is still in development  and estimated to launch in late 2022, several big  

names like the Winklevoss twins and Atari have  already bought large plots of LAND in the game.

3. Star Atlas

Star Atlas is arguably the most anticipated  blockchain game to date. It’s a space-themed,  

grand strategy video game set in the year  2620, built on the Solana blockchain using  

the groundbreaking Unreal 5 video game engine to  provide cinema-quality real-time environments.  

Judging by the trailers, Star  Atlas could be a visual spectacle. 

Players will captain deep-space, crewed spaceships  across an open world of galaxies to discover  

various celestial and terrestrial assets. Once  found, these assets can be mined, refined, and  

traded on the Universal Marketplace. The game will  feature two in-game currencies called ATLAS and  

POLIS, NFT-based asset ownership, built-in DeFi  via the Serum decentralized exchange, and on-chain  

governance models like DAOs to power in-game  political organizations like guilds and alliances. 

Star Atlas recalls Entropia Universe  or EVE Online, with play-to-earn  

mechanics thanks to real crypto-powered  economies and next-generation graphics.  

If it lives up to the hype, it’s sure to be  one of the space’s biggest success stories.

2. Illuvium

Illuvium is an up-and-coming Pokémon-inspired  RPG universe where players will be able to  

capture so-called Illuvials or NFT-based  alien monsters of different affinities,  

classes, and abilities and battle them against  other players to win Ethereum. The game is built  

on the StarkWare-powered Immutable X platform and  is expected to be released near the end of 2021. 

One of the most unique aspects of Illuvium is that  the primary currency for in-game purchases will be  

Etheruem, while the game’s native token ILV will  have nothing to do with the game’s mechanics.  

Instead, it will serve as a governance  and revenue share token. For instance,  

ILV holders can currently stake their tokens into  the Illuvium Vault, which presently yields up to  

63% from token distributions. Furthermore, the  protocol will redistribute 100% of the revenue  

generated from in-game purchases and fees  to the Vault once the game goes live. 

Hypothetically, if Illuvium generated the  equivalent of Axie Infinity in monthly revenue  

($300 million), every staked ILV  token would receive at least $30  

per ILV per month, assuming the entire fully  diluted supply of 10 million tokens is staked.

1. Guild of Guardians

Guild of Guardians is an NFT-powered,  blockchain-based mobile role-playing game  

that lets players build a dream team  of “Guardians” to compete in guilds,  

raid dungeons, and craft unique  assets to earn tradable rewards.  

The game was created by Stepico and published  by Immutable, the team behind Ethereum’s  

highest-grossing trading card game, Gods  Unchained. It’s slated for release in early 2022. 

The game is among the top-awaited projects in the  space, with over 140,000 players on the waitlist,  

68,000 Twitter followers, and 66,000 members  on Discord. Guild of Guardians is also  

working with Ubisoft and is partnered with  Sandbox to maximize its chances of success.

Like other play-to-earn titles, it has  its in-game token called Chain Guardians  

(CGG). The token will serve both as a utility  and a governance token, rewarding players for  

actively participating in the ecosystem. In  June, Guild of Guardians also completed its  

first “NFT Founder Sale,” featuring a collection  of NFTs that players will use to summon rarely,  

epic, or legendary heroes that will  be playable once the game goes live.
