¿Earning cryptocurrencies by playing and selling them for dollars?
¡Here we tell you all about the sensation game of the moment!
The video game market evolved again and began to permeate with the world of Cryptocurrencies. Although there were previous attempts that for the moment went under the carpet, the launch of Axie Infinity began to show the possibilities that this class of games can reach, with its in-game currency increasing daily in the market.
But how much can you earn on a daily basis? Axie Infinity manages a coin called Small Love Potion (SLP), which is earned by playing, completing missions within the game and in Adventure mode (which is summarized in battles against bots). At the beginning you will be able to earn 150 SLP per day, which will increase the more your “Axies” level up, added to confrontations against other players in Arena. The price of the SLP is changing daily, as it usually happens in the world of Cryptocurrencies, but it is usually around 30 cents each SLP. This means that you have the possibility of earning 45 dollars a day, and if you take it for a whole month, in 30 days you will have made 1,350 dollars.
Sure there is a trick, you may wonder. We can say no but yes. The logic behind this is to promote the game and a market within the game, with the use of NFTs (Non-Fungible Token), coupled with cryptocurrencies. In the Axie Infinity example, they use Ethereum. Now the tricky part is entering this world. To participate in the game, one has to buy 3 Axies that are available in the market, which are the "bugs" with which you are going to play (or buy eggs that are a little cheaper). The point is, each one usually costs more than $ 200. And if the AXS starts to rise (a premium in-game currency), the price of the bugs is going to increase. Therefore, it is an investment that, in any case, pays for itself in a month.
THE VALUES OF SOME AXIES: TO START YOU HAVE TO HAVE THREE
There is a chance to enter without spending and it is through the Memberships. It consists in that another person, who is already in the game, can pay you the Axies so that you can play. In return, part of the SLP you earn will have to be given to the "lender" until the cost is covered. Of course, you have to make sure that it is someone you trust since whoever bought the Axies will have control of your account until the agreement is fulfilled.
There are other games that are also implementing this Blockchain modality, such as Blankos Block Party, a casual game in the Fall Guys style, where you have to complete a series of mini-games and be at the top; Gods Unchained, a collectible card game similar to Hearthstone, with the difference that each God (from whom we will make our decks) can choose between 4 hero powers to use during the game; or the Lost Arc, an asymmetrical RPG similar to the Devil.
If you want to search on your own, you will find several free ones, like the Gods Unchained, but some of them require an invitation (like the Lost Ark), so you can only register and wait patiently.
A meteoric rise that already generates 84.9 million dollars a month
The numbers on 'Axie Infinity' are impressive. In April of this year we were talking about revenues of $ 670,000, which rose to three million in May and 12.2 in June. July has not ended and, according to data from Token Terminal, 'Axie Infinity' already generates 84.9 million dollars per month. A beastly growth of more than 200x in just three months.
These are numbers that place this "innocent" game in one of the most important crypto projects in the world. For comparison, Roblox generated about 144 million dollars last April. And we are talking about another authentic phenomenon, with a valuation above 40,000 million dollars. According to company data, they expect to close July with revenues of about 150 million dollars, thanks to their commission of 4.5%. Figures that place 'Axie Infinity' at the height of the most important 'free to play' titles of today.
