2025 will be the year of “blockbusters” in the crypto gaming space. This was stated in the Blockchain Gaming Alliance (BGA) 2024 State of the Industry Report.
The past year has seen player reward models in crypto games being evaluated.
Many crypto games have launched “Play-to-Airdrop” campaigns, where gamers can earn tokens as rewards for playing games during the TGE season. Telegram games have also been born, which are “tap to win” games where players can earn tokens simply by collecting crypto points.
We have witnessed crypto natives experiencing a season of “pardo”. But is that the end? Absolutely not.
