This is the Holy Bible of Blockchain Gaming
An update to the previous guide that I shared last year.
I will now divulge the scripture of profit that has found the most success in personal and community growth available to you all!
The Ultimate Profits Fuel Community and Personal Growth
Get Ready for the most overpowered strategy in blockchain gaming.
In this post I am going to share three strategies of gameplay in dCITY that when combined provide incredible earning potential for new and old players to join/rejoin this game and make money.
If you are new to dCITY, Hive's premier City Simulator has been running profitably since before the steemit/hive fork with its own SIM token airdrop.
Complete with its own marketplace and token economy utilizing NFTs with various attributes and rewards that are bought/sold, held, combined and optimized for strategic placement on the ranked leaderboard.
Why play dCITY?
There are many reasons you may be interested in dCITY which could include access to blockchain governance, NFT asset ownership, "the game" and let's not forget passive income & defi/game/curation/delegation rewards.
Many of the rewards being reported are automatically payed out daily and you only need to spend a few cents to truly test this on your own account.
In short, this game can be profitable if you play it well.
Simply owning a card that pays 1 Tax Refund with at least 1 Income will qualify you for a payout which will verify the passive automated daily payments in this game.
You can achieve this with the Economist.
If you are lucky, you can get one for less than 2500 SIM right now.
2500 SIM = .18 HIVE = .04 HBD
Test it out and come back to this post for the most profitable blockchain gaming strategy 2025.

What is Citizen Farming???
This strategy begins with the floor price of dCity gameplay known as Citizen Farming which requires an active daily "gameplay".
This gameplay consists of buying and holding dCITY NFT assets that provide strategic stats in order to qualify for top 400 income leaderboard.
This leaderboard rewards users with access to Citizen claims in the dCITY Discord.
At the time of writing this article the threshold of entry into this leaderboard requires an investment equal to about 40-50k SIM or about 3-4 HIVE which is less than 1 HBD.
Here's my Blueprint:
If you ever want to get an idea of different successful strategies available all you have to do is check the leaderboards.
We can see that @web-gnar and @bossingclint are able to achieve a competitive rank using a completely different set up of NFT cards and stats.
I personally find that the least amount of different cards needed to buy is the easiest way to discuss and present these strategies so I opted for multiples of the best cards for their stats.
This Wind Turbine city also build upon a previous combine build that allows one to stack Wind Turbines for a future Combine called Wind Farm which gives Wind Turbines an extra layer of passive income through Tax Refund.
HOW TO CLAIM CITIZENS
First you will need to join the dCity discord!
Once you have the cards necessary to rank in the top 400 Income leaderboard you need only wait for the daily snapshot before you are eligible for the citizen claim.
Claims take place in the bot-commands channel and use the --claim (your username) command giving you a Young Citizen.
Young Citizens provide a Tax Refund stat and they will naturally(passively) age and change into Students and then eventually go into debt and or become old removing their Tax Refund stat.
In order to progress them further into a new citizen type you simply need to pay off their debt and this is called student training which has some incredible profit potential.
Take for example the Tax Collector which is tradable in the marketplace for some insane ROI values.
I won't go into detail about how to play citizen farming as a strategy as you can just read my previous guide for 2024 to get an idea.
This year I am developing for you the understanding of compounding community growth with personal growth in dCITY and why it is truly the most profitable blockchain gaming strategy.
The Community Trifecta of Joint Growth Power
Let’s break down the dCITY ecosystem and how its unique combination of delegations, liquid NFTs, DeFi utility, and SIM Club membership creates a powerhouse for both personal ROI and community growth on Hive.
This strategy leverages multiple reward streams, making it one of the most lucrative (and socially impactful) projects on the blockchain.
Firstly, I will discuss the benefit of SIM POWER(30 day average of SIM holdings) which provides a passive daily airdrop of HIVE to holders at the tune of 29.61% APR.
- 8k SIM threshold
- No limit to holding rewards
- Holdings also provide ingame governance power
Second, I will share the exclusive SIM Club which require a SIM Power of 1 million and gives access to the Club Curation channel in Discord.
This Club benefit allows members to access the curation power of @dcityrewards
This benefit isn't guaranteed but it can be used to support your own content that isn't dcity related and even other people's content.
The club gives curation rewards that will allow dcity investors an opportunity to ROI without having to change their content strategies.
Creating dCity content is highly valuable as well so always keep that in mind and be sure to upvote the other dcity content creators to get inspired.
Third and most important is the Delegation feature which provide passive daily growth through NFT citizen farming.
500 HP delegated to @dcityrewards supports the curation club benefits with the addition of HP growth you also get 1 daily passive citizen airdropped to your account for every 500 HP delegated & citizen lottery tickets every 200 HP.
Think about the loss of utility in converting your HP into HIVE with a powerdown.
This strategy of delegation provides liquid NFT assets with defi utility that can be traded instantly or held for passive income while supporting community growth.
If you are sitting on a mountaintop of Hive Power maybe it's time to make the best utilization of community growth with personal growth in dcity?
Let's Recap the strategy and rewards
- Sim Club - 1 Million SIM valued at less than $20 = lifetime of potential Curation Support for posts you choose to share in Club Curation channel and valuable insights to game development plus in game governance & passive 29% APR daily HIVE airdrop
- Top 400 leaderboard - Entry level citizen farming strategy costs less than $1 and provides daily passive income plus citizen claims worth $.01 right now also subject to change depending on market. Combine this daily claim with dcity content creation for a much higher reward potential.
- Delegation - Turn a 500 HP + Delegation into liquid assets that support community curation without loss of utility through powerdown and without changing your current content strategy.
That's a wrap folks!
