Huobi Ventures Weekly Insights
Insight provided by Evans of Huobi Ventures
Prospect of Blockchain Gaming 2022
2021 may be the most exciting and volatile year for cryptocurrencies. We’ve seen incredible growth and innovation, including the NFT summer, the boom of Solana ecosystem, the explosion of blockchain gaming — Axie Infinity’s revenue hitting $17m in August, and Bitcoin hitting an ATM of $ 69,000 in November. It’s disputable that cryptocurrencies have captured the public’s attention, and we think the blockchain gaming sector will keep the traction in the following years.
Games are perfect rudiments/carriers of Metaverse and a good gaming project itself is a complete ecosystem. We are expecting some more experimental game projects to emerge in 2022:
- The in-game practice of DAO/SubDAO — It can be formed according to occupation/deputy position and region. For instance, Polis is the governance token of Star Atlas, Polis holders will be in a unique position of jurisdictional ownership over entire regions, regardless of who owns title to the land and equipment right.
- Randomness — Add some random factors such as extreme weather, plague virus, etc. to increase consumption scenarios and prevent whales from controlling the games.
- The provision of in-game financial products — providing financial services such as insurance for randomness to protect players’ digital assets. Large-scale MMORPGs with land sales can provide in-game REITS.
- In-game Token Issuance — Guilds, countries, and cities in the game can issue coins, and players & traders can find some in-game trading/arbitrage opportunities. Countries and cities will have their ups and downs, and their development status can be reflected in their own token price, depending on how they design the token utility.
- Editor — CP provides a main story/narrative, players can develop their own story (you can refer to various maps in Warcraft, you can also shoot in Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord)
Blockchain gaming is just at a very early stage, we’d love to see other innovations such as the hybrid of gaming and social media, on-chain Esport platforms that facilitate the mainstreaming of blockchain games etc.
