Blockchain Oyun Raporu
A new rapor DappRadar tarafından yayınlanan rapor, web3 oyun endüstrisinin 2023'e güçlü bir başlangıç yaptığını ve Ocak ayında on yatırımdan 156 milyon dolar toplandığını belirtti.
Dikkate değer gelişmeler arasında TreasureDAO'nun meta veri dizisi projeleri oluşturmaya yönelik bir platform olarak ortaya çıkması, Square Enix'in ilk NFT oyununu piyasaya sürmesi ve Courtside Ventures'ın spor, koleksiyon ürünleri, sağlık ve oyun odaklı üçüncü risk sermayesi fonuna 100 milyon dolar yatırım yapması oldu. Web3 oyunlarına ve metaverse projelerine yapılan yatırımların toplam değeri 156 milyon doları buldu.
Kripto oyun sektörü de zincir üstü aktivitede bir artış gördü; günlük aktif cüzdan (dUAW) %1.31 artışla 858,621'e yükseldi ve Ocak ayında dApp aktivitesinin %48'ini oluşturdu. Ortalama olarak en iyi oyun tokenlarının piyasa değeri %122 artarken, GALA %218 ile başı çekiyor.
Additionally, trading volume for virtual worlds (experiential metaverse) experienced significant growth in January 2023, reaching $44.5 million, a 114% increase from December 2022. The success of metaverse dApps, such as The Sandbox and Decentraland, has contributed to the significant growth in trading volume for virtual worlds, according to the report.
“The surge of the top gaming tokens in January 2023 is a very positive sign for the industry. The on-chain metrics are bullish, and the hype surrounding these coins is only growing.”
Other successes in the sector included the launch of the Sewer Pass from Yuga Labs, which created $44.6 million in trading volume in just two weeks. In addition, the pass granted access to the limited-time game Dookie Dash which holders played to make them “eligible for the summoning.”
Increased web2 interest
Kai Bond, a partner at Courtside Ventures, shared his investment thesis as a part of the report;
“The biggest outcomes always come at the intersection of a new form of distribution and a new type of monetization. The promise of Web3 is in the same space, and Courtside Ventures is well-positioned to capitalize on it.”
Legacy gaming companies, which are not web3 native, have also continued to dip their toes in the crypto water. Japanese game publisher Square Enix is launching its first NFT game, Symbiogenesis, on the Polygon network. The story-driven game features 10,000 NFT characters and turn-based play on a floating continent threatened by a dragon. Players will not be required to hold an NFT to access the game, yet it will add “extra value,” and character NFT holders can create replica NFTs to share story information with other players.
“This move by Square Enix is a clear indication that blockchain gaming is becoming more mainstream and that traditional gaming companies are taking notice[…] The outlook is positive, and we look forward to seeing the blockchain gaming industry continue to grow and innovate in the future. So game on.”
Sonuç
The report concluded that while the web3 gaming industry faced challenges in 2022, the performance in January 2023 shows signs of recovery. Experienced studios are being funded to create quality web3 games, indicating a shift in focus toward longer time horizons from venture capital investors.
In addition, the industry is moving towards “build” mode, prioritizing quality over quantity. Ultimately, the outlook is positive, and the web3 gaming industry is expected to grow and innovate.
