WTF is Crypto? A new book by PLAYA3ULL GAMES founder Jonathan Bouzanquet

Jonathan Bouzanquet, known to many as 0ld3ULL in the PLAYA3ULL GAMES community, has released a new book called ‘WTF is Crypto: Cryptocurrency Will Be Arriving On Platform 4 At 4:06pm.’     This essential, no-nonsense beginner's guide cuts through the jargon of cryptocurrency, blockchain, NFTs, and Web3. Jonathan breaks it down with humour and clarity, whether you're a total beginner or looking to refine your skills.   The book/e-book can be directly purchased through Amazon here or search 'WTF is Crypto?' on Amazon in your location.    Discover the contents of Jono’s book below in this comprehensive preview.   Who is this book for?   This book is dedicated to the everyday person who wants to heighten their awareness of this transformative technology. Blockchain is being adopted faster than the internet and mobile phones, yet many bystanders are scared of technology. Some still believe it has no place in their daily lives. You couldn’t be more wrong; this book is perfect for you!   In this book, he covers the basics of crypto for the ‘Mr Bob Normal and Miss Everywoman’ and empowers readers to transition to a new realm of possibilities.   “For the first time in history, we see an industry forming around society's intelligentsia. For the first time in history, an industry is being born that is not being run by people who inherited it or, like the oil industry, found it by luck on their dying farms or their desert countries. It is not based on who is stronger or who can kill the most people. No, for the first time in history, smart people (and I mean some of the smartest in the world) are at the centre of a disruptive technology that can change money forever and the world's power base,” states Jonathan.   To his family and friends, Jonathan is a constant source of inspiration. Sometimes maddeningly optimistic, he is driven by a deep belief that his ideas could change the world. As the founder of PLAYA3ULL GAMES, he was first successful in raising money to build a small crypto game for Gala Games with his little team in Melbourne. The game quickly took off, and Jonathan’s been 3ULLish ever since by expanding PLAYA3ULL GAMES into one of the most prolific Web3 gaming studios.  He is targeting a big goal of releasing 30 games in 10 years.   Subjects covered in the book   ‘WTF is Crypto’ examines a diverse range of Web3 subjects that will prepare readers with an encyclopaedia of knowledge, including:   What is blockchain? What is Bitcoin? A historical look at the internet and tech stocks. The difference between coins and tokens. Hot wallets vs cold wallets. Common scams to avoid in crypto. What are crypto exchanges? Basic investment strategies. The rise of NFTs. The role of nodes. Risk management tools and resources. Permissionless vs Permissioned systems. Nodes and Web3 gaming studios. Real-world examples and use cases include El Salvador, Tesla, Binance, Mt. Gox, BitConnect, Bored Ape Yacht Club. The future of crypto.   Jonathan puts the reader in the driver’s seat to swivel through the crypto rollercoaster with some fast-tracked knowledge of pitfalls to avoid.  This is further heightened by his examples of real-world companies and use cases.   Available to read right now!   Don’t get left sitting on the sidelines as Bitcoin skyrockets to new all-time highs! ‘WTF is Crypto’ begs you to understand this revolutionary technology before it’s too late. ​​Buy it here to support the PLAYA3ULL GAMES ecosystem further.    “While the crypto world may seem daunting at first, remember that we're still in the early stages - comparable to the internet in the mid-1990s,” he writes.   “There's enormous potential for growth and innovation ahead. As we move forward, it's crucial to keep learning and stay informed about this rapidly evolving technology.”   Are you excited to get the best and easiest overview of Web3?   Watch the full announcement video below👇   Until next time, gamers - GG Well Played!

Building a Web3 gaming platform: the blueprint for success

Web3 development brings a revolutionary shift in the gaming industry, empowering players with ownership, control, and the opportunity for financial reward. In this blog, we examine the core reasons driving this paradigm shift, examining the transition from traditional Web2 models to Web3 gaming platforms like those we are building here at PLAYA3ULL GAMES. We also discuss balancing play-to-earn mechanics and navigating regulatory uncertainty, highlighting the path towards realising this exciting new gaming era's full potential.   Game on!   Understanding the reasons for Web3 Gaming and PLAYA3ULL GAMES   Web3 gaming platforms leverage blockchain technology to empower players. This decentralisation allows players to truly own their in-game items, represented as Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), which can be used across different games and virtual worlds, helping to foster the concept of interoperability.     A key driver for Web3 gaming's rise is the play-to-earn (P2E) model. This innovative approach allows players to generate real-world value through gameplay, transforming gaming from a hobby into a potential source of income. By participating in the game's ecosystem, players can earn cryptocurrencies or NFTs, which can then be traded or sold. Games like NEXUS give out 2.1 million 3ULL coins weekly to the players.   Smart Contracts are self-executing agreements written in code that automate in-game processes and lead to enhanced levels of trust and fairness. This transparency fosters a more equitable and engaging gaming environment. While challenges still remain (scalability and user adoption being some of the largest), the potential for Web3 technology to revolutionise the gaming industry is undeniable.    Key Features Every Web3 Gaming Platform Needs   The potential of Web3 gaming hinges on the delivery of engaging experiences that transcend tokenisation and P2E opportunities. Fun and compelling gameplay will always remain paramount to any committed gamer. Web3 elements should enhance the core experience, focusing on memorable moments and satisfying progression.   A sustainable in-game economy is crucial for longevity. Platforms must balance asset creation and consumption while preventing inflation and immediate selling. This isn’t going to be easy. Regular monitoring and adjustment are key, along with ‘sink mechanisms’ that remove assets from circulation.   Innovative gameplay mechanics that leverage blockchain technology are essential for Web3 gaming success. Beyond tokenising assets, platforms should explore decentralised world-building, provable randomness for fair systems, and dynamic narratives driven by player actions.   Seamless onboarding is also vital for mainstream adoption. Intuitive tutorials, smooth wallet creation, and the abstraction of complex crypto elements are crucial for a positive first-time user experience.   As we all know, a thriving community is the backbone of any successful platform. Social features, regular events, clear communication channels, and user feedback systems help foster greater levels of engagement and trust. This is why our Supporta3ULLS Discord community does a great job helping all players with issues or queries.   Designing incentive systems for users   Effective incentive design is crucial for driving user behaviour within the Web3 gaming platform. At its core, it leverages the principle that rewards and encourages specific actions. Effective incentive systems align user motivations with project goals, helping to foster increased levels of growth and user engagement. It is generally accepted that a well-designed system should incentivise positive contributions and discourage negative actions.     The first step in incentive design is the identification of desired behaviours, such as holding tokens, participating in governance, or contributing to platform development. Incentives can then be structured to reward these actions, while penalties can deter undesirable behaviour.    Financial rewards, access to exclusive resources, or even recognition can all serve as effective motivators. The overall tokenomics of the Web3 gaming platform, including supply, demand, and value, should also be carefully considered. Creating network effects, such as rewarding early adopters, can further boost user participation.     A number of innovative incentive mechanisms currently exist. With new concepts being added everyday, P2E gamers can choose from learn-to-earn, move-to-earn, play-to-own, play-to-earn, rent-to-earn, travel-to-earn, share-to-earn, and wellness-to-earn.   As you can see, each mechanism caters to different user motivations, from acquiring knowledge to achieving fitness goals.   Ignoring incentives can be detrimental and lead to low user participation, lack of motivation, and potential security risks. Therefore, a balanced approach that combines compelling incentives with a valuable product or service is key to long-term success.   Overcoming Challenges in Web3 Game Development   Web3 gaming faces a complex set of challenges. Whilst balancing ‘play’ and ‘earn’ remains paramount, games must be engaging and fun and not solely focused on financial rewards. Striking this balance is crucial for long-term player retention.   User experience is another major hurdle. Onboarding must be simplified, making wallet connections and account setup. Understanding blockchain mechanics is intuitive for ‘non-crypto’ players. It goes without saying that seamless fiat on/off-ramps are essential for mainstream adoption, allowing players to easily convert traditional currency to cryptocurrency and vice-versa.   The shift towards player ownership requires careful design to align incentives between developers and players. This can be achieved through revenue-sharing models, player-owned governance systems, or decentralised autonomous organisations (DAOs). Economic sustainability is also critical, requiring balanced tokenomics, controlled inflation, and mechanisms to maintain asset value.   Developers must shift focus from pre-sale NFTs to creating high-quality gameplay experiences. Building and nurturing active communities is also vital for success. This involves fostering open communication, incorporating player feedback, and creating a sense of shared ownership among Web3 gamers.   Improved blockchain scalability is also needed to handle increased transaction volumes and ensure smooth gameplay. PLAYA3ULL GAMES has custom-built a blockchain that caters specifically for Web3 video games and the scalability required for success. Enhanced graphics, VR/AR integration, and metaverse development will all help create more immersive experiences, pushing the boundaries of game design.   Web3 gaming represents more than a technological upgrade; it fundamentally changes the relationship between players and games. While challenges like scalability and user adoption remain, the core principles of ownership, transparency, and community-driven development offer a compelling vision for the future of interactive entertainment.   By blurring the lines between entertainment and active participation in a dynamic digital world, Web3 gaming platforms like PLAYA3ULL GAMES are forever changing the world's most popular pastime.      Until next time, gamers - GG Well Played!

Image for Web3 Gaming is Dead. Here’s how to fix it.

Web3 Gaming is Dead. Here’s how to fix it.

So you heard the rumour too? Web3 gaming is dead, right? Think again. With social media alive with rumours of the death of Web3 gaming, we thought we better take a proper look at what is really going on. Strap in! Web3 Gaming Isn’t Dead—It’s Only Getting Started Following the unpredictability of the wider crypto market, Web3 gaming has been going through a crisis in recent months.  With failed projects littering the wayside, it's clear that those who haven’t got their act together face an uphill battle. Not just for viral following but to actually get off the ground in the first place. Like every major gaming revolution before it, whether it be the rise of mobile, free-to-play platforms, eSports, or digital skins, Web3 gaming is facing its share of scepticism. However, as always, the reality is somewhat different. Disruption never comes easy and real change takes time. When you look more closely, what we’re witnessing isn’t the death of Web3 gaming but its transformation into something more powerful than you can ever imagine!   The Death of Hype = The Birth of Quality   During the peak of the last crypto cycle, the Web3 gaming landscape was flooded with sensational hype and unsubstantiated speculation. A large number of projects had no business even calling themselves games as empty promises and rug pulls reigned supreme. As you are no doubt aware, through 2020 and 2021 the Play-to-Earn (P2E) concept exploded. As many of us dreamed of giving up work with the promise of new careers and revenue streams, the P2E model dominated the landscape. However, unsustainable economies don’t last, and as the market corrected, many spectators labelled Web3 gaming a glorious failure. Many hardcore gamers complained that Web3 gaming wasn’t even needed and that it was being pushed on them. When you also consider that many builders entered the space for extraction rather than innovation, the proliferation of poor-quality products across the market made perfect sense. In the background, developers continued to build, confident in the knowledge that the market was evolving. Despite claims of its death, many Web3 gaming projects were still raising significant capital. While Axie Infinity may have replaced wages for some, there was no turning back. The genie was finally out of the bottle. According to @SofiaCryptoVibe the lack of Axie Infinity-style hype doesn't mean death but maturity. The industry is now shedding the gimmicks and refocusing on what truly matters – the player. In 2025, developers have learnt from their mistakes and are building immersive, engaging experiences that are truly worthy of your money. As always in business, it takes time to cut through the noise, find out what works, and refine the product into something that not only meets customer demands but pushes the boundaries of what was previously acceptable.   Gaming’s Rebellious Future: Empowering Players Like Never Before   Web3 gaming continues to flip the script. With the emphasis on freedom, empowerment and true ownership, developers are transforming stale ideas into new concepts. Web3 gaming gives players the power to shape in-game economies, trade assets freely, and participate in community governance. The core philosophy is player-centricity. No more renting of digital items – this time, you own the asset. Say goodbye to locked environments dreamed up by tired old devs. With Web3 gaming, YOU decide how to engage. Web3 gaming isn’t just a minor iteration of a successful concept. It’s a complete rewrite of the rules of engagement! A rebellious movement that hands control to those who fuel the industry – the gamers. The Builders Who Are Defying the Odds Despite the turmoil, forward-thinking studios continue to build. Major gaming houses are integrating blockchain concepts, thereby recognising the value Web3 brings to society. For example, in 2025, we have seen Sony file a rising number of Web3 patents, Ubisoft partner with Oasys Network for Web3 game distribution, and Epic Games host more than 60 Web3 titles alone. Meanwhile, established Web3 games such as MapleStory U (400K+ users and 80%+ retention), Off the Grid (13M+ wallets and 400K-500K daily active users), and RavenQuest (gaining traction as a leading MMORPG) continue to build real engagement, proving the demand for immersive blockchain-enabled worlds isn’t going anywhere soon. PLAYA3ULL GAMES have also emerged as a trailblazer in the Web3 gaming world. They offer a robust ecosystem that combines cutting-edge technology with player empowerment. Be sure to check out our latest news. Even with the broader crypto market behaving as erratically as ever, funding continues to flow into Web3 gaming. You might ask why visionary developers can see beyond the short-term volatility and recognise rising demand and long-term potential. Web3 gaming isn’t just about a quick cash grab. It's about the fundamental transformation of how games are played, owned and experienced. A Community-Driven Revolution   It's becoming evident that the most powerful force in gaming isn’t technology but community. Despite the amazing graphics and powerful storylines, gamers want to connect, compete, create, and collaborate. Web3 gaming facilitates deeper player-driven ecosystems where guilds, DAOs, and open-world communities thrive because they are built on collective ownership and shared incentives. It is those who understand this paradigm shift that is leading the way as the next generation of gaming materialises into reality. The Future is Fearless   Web3 gaming isn’t dead. It's simply in a transformation, where the hype is fading and replaced with real products and better experiences. @RealJonahBlake and @0xferg argue that Web3 gaming is at a critical inflection point, requiring better business models and user experiences. Scepticism will always dampen the brightest of lights. Every major evolutionary shift is met with resistance before it becomes mainstream. Web3 isn’t an experiment. It's the inevitable next step for an industry that feeds on innovation. But there is no need to wait for permission. We continue to build, disrupt and empower. The future of gaming belongs to those who are brave enough to take risks and embrace change. Make sure you’re not left behind.   Until next time, gamers - GG Well Played!

Top NFT Games For 2024

Hey, fellow gamers, gear up for a wild ride into the digital dimensions of 2024!    We're not just talking about any gaming experience; we're diving headfirst into the world of Play-To-Earn (P2E) NFT games – the kind that makes your heart race, your skills shine, and your wallet get a little heavier.    Imagine a gaming universe where every strategic move you make isn't just about scoring points; it's about scoring some serious crypto.    From battling it out in MOBA shooters to unleashing the power of trading cards, these games aren't your typical joystick-and-chill scenarios.    So, buckle up, level up, and explore the top-rated P2E NFT games set to rock your gaming world in 2024.

Blockchain game companies with nodes - cash flow or cash grab?

Blockchain game companies are transforming the gaming industry by leveraging decentralised infrastructure. This ‘sea-change’ in video gaming gives players unprecedented control and actual ownership over their in-game assets.   Platforms that offer a nodal infrastructure provide users with greater security, enhanced transparency, and better player rewards, which all help to create more immersive and engaging user experiences. Let’s explore three top blockchain gaming companies leveraging node technology today: Gala Games, PLAYA3ULL GAMES, and GameChain by Gamestarter.   PLAYA3ULL GAMES     PLAYA3ULL GAMES continue to make serious waves in the blockchain gaming space by integrating a robust node infrastructure that not only enhances decentralisation but increases platform security.   By becoming a PLAYA3ULL GAMES node owner, unique opportunities to earn substantial rewards while helping secure the network arise. With only 50,000 licenses in existence, PLAYA3ULL GAMES node ownership grants access to an exclusive and prestigious community of committed gamers.   As node owners, participants receive a share of the native 3ULL coin from the allocated daily distribution. In the first year of operation, 13,698,630 3ULL coins were distributed daily, with 50% going directly to node operators. Over the next ten years, five billion 3ULL coins will be distributed annually, and once the maximum supply is reached, node owners will continue to earn rewards through transaction gas fees.   Further benefits include an exclusive NFT for every game in the PLAYA3ULL ecosystem and access to an exclusive Discord channel for node owners. Node prices start at $100, increasing by $100 for every 100 nodes sold. Early adoption ensures greater rewards and a prime position in the network’s tiered pricing system. Securing a PLAYA3ULL GAMES node now means gaining a head start in accumulating 3ULL coins and the potential for maximum benefits.   GALA GAMES     Gala Games is one of the trailblazing blockchain game companies that empowers players with actual ownership of in-game assets. Gala Games are also giving players a say in the future of the network with the opportunity to own and operate their own Gala nodes.   Running a Gala node allows users to help secure the platform while earning rewards in GALA tokens and exclusive NFTs. Gala node holders also help support game transactions, governance, and overall network stability, ensuring a more decentralised and player-driven environment.   Node ownership offers holders numerous advantages. The ability to vote on key ecosystem decisions, receive early access to new game releases, and exclusive NFT drops are among some of the most popular. With a limited number of nodes available, their value has the potential to grow significantly over time. Gala nodes are set to become tradable NFTs, increasing their utility and market potential in the future.   For anyone interested in node ownership but hesitant about technical setup, third-party services like Gala-Node.com provide step-by-step guidance and operational support, making it easier for new users to get started. Whether through gaming, staking, or network participation, Gala Games continues to shape the future of decentralised gaming and offer lucrative opportunities for early adopters.   Gamechain by Gamestarter     GameChain by Gamestarter is yet another platform revolutionising the indie gaming landscape by allowing users to participate in network validation and earn rewards through Game Node Keys. With a total supply of 80,000 Game Keys, these nodes play a crucial role in securing transactions and maintaining the network, rewarding validators with $GAME tokens, NFTs, and in-game assets.   Node operators benefit from multi-token rewards, early access to IGOs, and product launches. A tiered pricing system governs the sale of Game Keys, incentivising early adoption. Additionally, GameChain employs a halving mechanic, where token rewards are higher in the earlier years and decrease over time to maintain long-term sustainability. In the first year, 125,000,000 $GAME tokens will be distributed, ensuring substantial incentives for initial node validators.   GameChain offers a lock-up multiplier system to enhance further staking rewards, where longer staking periods yield greater multipliers. For example, a 12-month stake provides a 2x multiplier, while a 24-month lock-up grants a 3x boost. Stakers accumulate points based on their stake and lock-up duration, determining their share of the daily rewards pool.   With over 930,000 users already engaged in the ecosystem, GameChain is positioning itself as a dominant force in blockchain gaming. By becoming a node holder, participants have access to unparalleled rewards while contributing to the growth of an expanding, decentralised and transparent gaming network.   Blockchain gaming is no longer a distant vision - it’s happening right now. The blockchain game companies leading the charge offer unprecedented opportunities for players and investors. Gala Games, PLAYA3ULL GAMES, and Gamestarter are building the foundations of a new gaming economy where the players' control, ownership, and rewards belong.   This is your chance to be more than just a gamer. Whether running a node, staking tokens, or earning NFTs, you contribute to a movement reshaping the gaming industry. Don’t just play the game - own it. The time to act is now! Will you take your place in the revolution?   Until next time, gamers - GG Well Played!

Pros and Cons of the Top Crypto Gaming Tokens In 2023

The gaming world has been levelling up in incredible ways, and in 2023, the fusion of gaming and cryptocurrencies took centre stage.    The impact of crypto gaming and their respective tokens has grown significantly, with several emerging cryptocurrencies vying for dominance in this dynamic and ever-evolving landscape.    Thanks to blockchain technology, gaming tokens now offer true ownership, unique features, and the potential for serious profits.   In this article, we will explore the advantages and disadvantages of gaming tokens and identify the leading gaming cryptocurrencies that have captured the attention of gamers.   Let’s begin!   What are Crypto Gaming Tokens?   Crypto gaming tokens allow players to earn unique digital assets on the blockchain. Unlike traditional games, these tokens offer true ownership and versatility. As decentralized assets, they foster a fair and transparent gaming environment, enabling direct interactions among players without intermediaries. It's a revolutionary concept redefining how we value and trade in-game achievements.   The more you play, the more you earn, so don't miss out on this chance to level up your gaming and your crypto portfolio simultaneously. Open the PLAYA3ULL App to start earning crypto while having a blast.     What is Blockchain Gaming?   Blockchain gaming combines blockchain technology with video games. In regular video games, everything is controlled by a central authority like the game developer or gaming platform. But in blockchain gaming, things change! The technology moves to a decentralized system called the blockchain, which is open and transparent for everyone. This shift allows players to have more control and ownership over their in-game items and transactions.    Embark on an immersive gaming experience that not only offers you endless fun but also rewards you with valuable cryptocurrencies as you progress. Open the PLAYA3ULL App to earn valuable cryptocurrencies as you play your favorite games.   Top Advantage of NFT Gaming Tokens   Here are the top benefits of token gaming:   True Ownership One of the most incredible things about NFT gaming tokens is that they grant you true ownership of in-game items - they're securely yours on the blockchain. Imagine having rare and unique virtual assets to keep and trade as you like.   Scarcity and Rarity NFTs introduce scarcity and rarity to the gaming experience. Certain items or characters can become limited editions, making them highly sought after by collectors and fellow gamers. Being one of the few to possess such a rare item adds a new level of pride and exclusivity.   Interoperability NFT gaming tokens can be used across multiple games and platforms that support them. This means your hard-earned virtual sword or pet can transcend boundaries, travelling with you from one game to another. It's like carrying a piece of your gaming legacy wherever you go!   Player-driven economy With NFTs, players can participate in a player-driven economy. You can freely buy, sell, and trade items with other players, setting your prices based on demand and rarity. This decentralized marketplace gives you more control over your gaming experience.   Transparency and Security Blockchain technology ensures transparency in the ownership and transaction history of NFTs. You can trust that your prized possessions are secure and verifiable, protected from hacks or fraudulent activities that could ruin the fun.   Supporting game developers NFTs enable direct support to game developers. When you buy in-game items as NFTs, developers can earn a share of the proceeds directly, encouraging them to create more engaging and immersive gaming experiences.   Inclusivity and a diverse gaming ecosystem NFT gaming tokens open up possibilities for smaller indie game developers to thrive. They can create and sell unique NFTs, fostering a diverse and inclusive gaming ecosystem with fresh and innovative ideas.   Play-to-earn opportunities Some blockchain games offer play-to-earn opportunities, allowing players to earn valuable NFTs simply by playing the game well. It's like turning your hobby into a rewarding venture.   Community engagement NFTs promote a vibrant community around gaming. Whether it's joining forces to defeat a powerful enemy or collaborating in the marketplace, NFTs bring players together, forging strong social bonds.   Memorable gaming experience Ultimately, NFT gaming tokens enhance the overall gaming experience. From the thrill of owning exclusive items to the joy of discovering hidden treasures, NFTs add depth and excitement, making gaming even more unforgettable.   Risk of Gaming Tokens While gaming tokens offer numerous advantages, they are not without their drawbacks. Here are some of the cons associated with gaming tokens:    Technical Barriers Using gaming tokens often requires an understanding of blockchain technology and how to manage digital wallets. For some gamers, especially those unfamiliar with cryptocurrencies, these technical aspects can be challenging to navigate.    Scams and Fraud The popularity of gaming tokens has attracted some bad actors who create fake or fraudulent tokens to deceive players and investors. Scams and phishing attempts can lead to financial losses and undermine trust in the gaming token space.    Lack of Regulation As a relatively new and evolving space, the gaming token market is not as regulated as traditional financial markets. This lack of oversight can expose participants to potential risks, such as market manipulation and fraud.    Network Scalability and Costs Depending on the underlying blockchain network, gaming tokens may face scalability issues, especially during periods of high demand. Additionally, transaction fees (gas fees) on certain blockchain networks can be high during busy times, making small transactions less feasible.    Environmental Concerns Many gaming tokens are built on blockchain networks that use a proof-of-work (PoW) consensus mechanism, which requires significant computational power and energy consumption. This has raised concerns about the environmental impact of blockchain gaming.    Gameplay Imbalance In some play-to-earn gaming models, players who can invest more time or money may gain an unfair advantage over others, creating gameplay imbalances that could detract from the overall gaming experience.    Dependency on Project Success The value and utility of gaming tokens often rely heavily on the success and adoption of the underlying gaming project. If a game fails to gain traction or maintain a player base, the value of its associated tokens may suffer.    Limited Integration While blockchain gaming is growing, not all mainstream gaming platforms have integrated gaming tokens and NFTs, limiting their accessibility and impact on a broader gaming audience.   How Can You Earn Money With NFT Games?   Here is how you can earn money by playing token games:   Play-to-Earn Rewards Many NFT games have a play-to-earn model, where players can earn valuable in-game assets, items, or currency by actively participating in the game. Completing quests and challenges or achieving certain milestones within the game can reward you with NFTs that have real-world value.     Start earning crypto rewards through our thrilling play-to-earn games. Join PLAYA3ULL GAMES to elevate your gaming sessions to a whole new level by joining our vibrant community of crypto gamers. Trading NFTs You can sell or trade NFTs on various NFT marketplaces as you accumulate NFTs within the game. Some in-game assets may appreciate in value over time due to their rarity or demand, allowing you to make a profit when you decide to sell them. Best Gaming Tokens in 2023   3ULL Coin (3ULL)     3ULL Coin is built on Avalanche Subnet technology, and is the core asset of the new PLAYA3ULL GAMES Marketplace. There will only ever be 50 billion 3ULL Coins. Coins are distributed daily through the PLAYA3ULL Games Master Nodes.   Enjin Coin (ENJ)     Enjin Coin is designed for the gaming industry and enables the creation of NFTs representing in-game assets, items, and collectibles. It aims to foster true ownership and interoperability across various games.   Decentraland (MANA)     Decentraland is a virtual reality platform where users can buy, sell, and build on virtual land parcels. MANA is the native cryptocurrency used for transactions and governance within the Decentraland ecosystem.   Axie Infinity (AXS)     Axie Infinity is a blockchain-based game where players collect, breed, and battle fantasy creatures known as Axies. AXS is the governance and utility token of the platform.   The Sandbox (SAND)     The Sandbox is a virtual world platform that allows users to create, own, and monetize gaming experiences and assets. SAND is the native utility token used for transactions and governance.   Immutable X (IMX)     Immutable X is a layer-2 scaling solution for Ethereum, specifically designed for NFTs and gaming. It aims to provide fast and gas-free transactions for gaming assets.   Render (RNDR)     Render (RNDR) is a gaming token with a unique purpose within the gaming industry. Instead of focusing on play-to-earn mechanics like some gaming tokens, RNDR aims to revolutionize the rendering of high-quality graphics and videos. Gamers and content creators can rent their idle GPU computing power to the Render network, earning RNDR tokens in return.   Gala (GALA)     Gala is a gaming token specifically crafted to establish a decentralized gaming ecosystem enriched with play-to-earn features. Within the Gala platform, players have the opportunity to accumulate GALA tokens through various activities such as engaging in games, contributing to the ecosystem's growth, or staking GALA to receive rewards. These earned tokens can subsequently be employed for in-game transactions or freely traded on various cryptocurrency exchanges.   Open the PLAYA3ULL crypto gaming app today to gain access to a wide range of games that promise not only entertainment but also tangible financial benefits.     Conclusion   To participate in this exciting world of crypto gaming tokens, individuals should stay informed, exercise caution, and conduct research before investing time and resources. While the potential for growth and financial gains exists, it's important to approach the gaming token market with a balanced understanding of both its advantages and risks.

A 3ULLISH Year to Remember! PLAYA3ULL GAMES 2024 in Review

2024 has been one giant leap for PLAYA3ULL GAMES! We’ve upgraded all aspects of our company, enabled our community to thrive, launched a new game ORDINEM, and even got to exhibit at multiple Web3 conventions.Gaze into some of our biggest milestones for the year of 2024!   Anniversaries and New Blockchain Games   2024 marked the 2nd anniversary of PLAYA3ULL GAMES building and delivering across all divisions.  We rapidly levelled up our team and increased the community team from a small group of moderators to a large department of specialised roles.  We futureproofed ourselves and added a new revenue source by announcing a new AI division that supercharges the progress of our games and diversifies revenue via a SaaS product offering.   Our flagship game on the Epic Games Store, ‘NEXUS,’ celebrated its 1st anniversary in 2024.  December 24th, 2024,  marked the 1st anniversary of the play and earn model within NEXUS.  The players were awarded over 365 million 3ULL coins in total.  NEXUS boxes were introduced that contained 16 unique NFT skins that players could unlock.  It features a wear and tear attribute that adds uniqueness and rarity to every skin.  NEXUS boxes and skins can be traded in the marketplace, allowing players to buy, sell, or exchange items.  We also welcomed a new game ambassador, ‘Dacrippa3ULL’, to liaise with the community and developers to improve the game.  Dacrippa3ULL has logged over 2,100 hours of NEXUS play.  Insane, right?   ORDINEM became our second game on the Epic Games Store, including multiple UI and UX updates that significantly improved the player experience.  This is an exciting time as we stay true to our ‘30 games in 10 years’ promise.   Our next 3 games are also ramping up production: STARVIN MARTIAN is going through a rebuild for PC and mobile.  With loads of previews in our weekly recaps, prepare for its official release in 2025. DOGS of WAR is set to enter closed alpha in 2025 with stunning environments and quirky characters. WAR OF STEEL completed the vertical slice and is currently in the Alpha 1 phase.   Building the ultimate Web3 gaming community   We are thankful for the wonderful community we’ve built on social media networks, especially the ones who interact with everyone in our Discord daily.  The Founders connected closely with the community in the PLAYA3ULL GAMES discord general chat.  The ‘Big3ULL chat’ was launched, a dedicated space for investors (HODLing 10M+ 3ULL) to connect directly with the team.  Introducing guilds fostered collaborations, friendly rivalries, and a stronger sense of belonging in our community.   In 2024, we created the  ‘Public Test Grounds’ channel.  Community members can use the channel to collaborate with the devs and patch-test the games.  The community feedback has directly influenced game improvements,  ensuring evolving gaming experiences shaped by the players.  Adding the ‘Socials’ category provides a streamlined area for PLAYA3ULL GAMES channels.  The ‘Socials’ category also supports community-driven promotion and amplifies our social media footprint.   PLAYA3ULL GAMES ecosystem updates and new partnerships   We’re extra 3ULLISH on the partnerships and general ecosystem updates we’ve had in 2024.  In June 2024, we introduced fractional nodes for our community and investors.  This gave a new way for investors to pool together with others and own portions of a full node.  We upgraded the support system for faster response times and added a 24/7 ticket and support service.   The 3ULL coin has continued to make strides in the open market, including listing on XT.com.  Buying 3ULL coins on ETH and purchasing 3ULL coins on a credit card became available.     We partnered with Evertreen to plant a tree for every node sold. We also acquired Web3 marketing services from the talented Take3 and PR help with PR Genius.

From Patch Notes to Play: Navigating NEXUS' Latest Updates

The world of gaming continues evolving rapidly. Yet amidst the technological strides lies an often overlooked revolution – the ascendance of vibrant gaming communities as fundamental forces steering future growth. NEXUS, an innovative multiplayer game, has embraced this community-centric, collaborative spirit. Its latest major update cements its reputation as one of the most community-driven games, where each player's voice and contribution are valued and integral to our growth.   Fostering continuous dialogue, team members and players actively discuss updates, balancing and new features on Discord. This constant exchange of insights and ideas between the team and community is the lifeblood driving NEXUS' evolution.    Competitive Ranked Play Takes Centre Stage     With the long-awaited introduction of ranked matchmaking, NEXUS allows players to test their skills against equally capable opponents. Starting in Bronze, competitors can climb the ranks, with their matchmaking rating (MMR) rising steadily toward the coveted Master tier as their prowess grows. Alongside these rankings comes a rework of NEXUS' play-and-earn system, granting higher-ranked combatants up to 1.9x earnings multipliers. As ranked play matures, NEXUS seems poised to spearhead a thriving competitive scene, offering an exciting new challenge for the community.   Direct Community Impacts on Development   Unlike traditional game production, NEXUS incorporates community feedback deeply within its evolution. Weapons balancing, ranked mode upgrades, skins and more all directly reflect player perspectives. This development cycle fosters unprecedented creative ownership throughout the NEXUS community. Veterans and newcomers alike feel invested in the game they help guide.     Gameplay Enhancements Raise the Skill Ceiling   Numerous improvements continue to advance the NEXUS gameplay experience, enhancing mechanical satisfaction and strategic potential.

Crypto Gaming - ORDINEM Closed Beta Now Available

We’re over the moon to announce that our second game ORDINEM is now available to play in closed beta!  Find the access code by joining the discord.  ORDINEM lets you command your own combination of the five mythical factions, using your deck of cards to cast spells and summon followers.  It is a Trading Card Game (TCG) which features cards as Non-Fungible Tokens (NFT) and 3ULL coin integration.  The game is heavily inspired by Magic: The Gathering, Hearthstone and other similar online card games. We are going to unveil  how ORDINEM is pushing forward crypto gaming.  You can browse the ORDINEM Wiki page for a much more in depth look at the over 200 cards themselves, and the specific in game rules.. Let’s enter the frontier! GLHF.   Watch this video to get an exclusive look at ORDINEM.   The Basics of ORDINEM ORDINEM challenges players to strategically play cards in battle that give them the best opportunity to defeat the opposing player. All cards have archetypes, which determine how you use them on the battlefield. Followers, for example, are your troops, and have strength (attack) and resilience (hit point).  They also have a 'thread cost', determining how many threads you need to put onto the frontier. For a full breakdown of the rulebook, click here.  Below are card archetypes that can be found in ORDINEM. Follower Followers are ‘creatures’ or ‘minions’ that can be summoned.  Followers have Strength and Resilience. Strength is how much damage the follower deals when it attacks, and Resilience is how much it can take. If Resilience is ever 0, the Follower is destroyed.   Relic Relics are mechanical contraptions that serve various purposes. They stay on the Frontier and usually have passive or activated abilities.   Twine Twines are magical objects or enhancements made from woven threads of magic. They stay on the Frontier to give permanent or repeating effects.   Spell Magical spells that are played for a ‘one off’ dazzling effect. They don't stay in the Frontier.   Weave Weaves are your primary Thread sources. You put them into the Frontier by Enweaving at the start of your turn.   More information about the order of play can be found here. ORDINEM has many exciting blockchain integrations, including the cards themselves acting as NFTs.   Battle it out in ORDINEM.   ORDINEM cards are NFTs ORDINEM continues to push crypto gaming boundaries by creating digital playable cards as NFTs. Actual asset ownership gives players the confidence to see global market card activity on the blockchain and keep assets forever. Every pack and card purchased in ORDINEM can be listed and bought on the marketplace, which players can test now in closed beta! By making the process permissionless via smart contracts and instant transactions, players can set their desired price for a card, and buyers can purchase the NFT without a middleman involved.  ORDINEM solves one of the greatest pain points for players: they can now freely distribute their cards for their desired price. Online TCGs like Magic: The Gathering prevent players from selling and trading cards leaving them with cards they would never use.   Another game that has embraced TCG cards as NFTs is Splinterlands. It has opened up unique cases for players to earn yield by allowing them to rent out their cards for others to use. To upgrade Splinterland cards, the player must burn multiple copies of the same card, which creates scarcity by limiting the supply.  The game also includes an auto-battle system where the result is recorded on the blockchain.   ORDINEM, in contrast, encourages players to test their card battle and deck-builder skills in real-time turn-based combat.  Another way PLAYA3ULL GAMES pushes blockchain boundaries as a Web3 gaming studio is more use cases in ORDINEM for the 3ULL coin.   ORDINEM cards as NFTs are a total game changer.   The Bullish case for 3ULL coin and blockchain gaming   The blockchain utility continues for the 3ULL coin, which will be used to purchase ORDINEM card packs.  This continues the trend of 30 games in 10 years by PLAYA3ULL GAMES and using the 3ULL coin for all games released.  Using one coin simplifies the blockchain gaming experience for users as it does not require constant searching for new token contract addresses, which will save time.   Blockchain rewards for ORDINEM will also come in 3ULL coins, and players already love the earning aspect with our first game, NEXUS.  If players hunger for more 3ULL coins, they can be claimed daily by owning a PLAYA3ULL GAMES node.   New blockchain games are breaking boundaries by giving back to the players who graciously provide their time and feedback to help improve games.  The ORDINEM  Testnet NFT marketplace can be accessed here to see the future of player-owned economies. Feel free to explore and give feedback to the PLAYA3ULL GAMES team.   Buy ORDINEM packs with 3ULL coin.   We hope this gives you a quick rundown on ORDINEM's benefits and how it continues to push crypto gaming to uncharted territories. We’re incredibly excited to launch the open beta on the Epic Games Store, and the closed beta is ready for your competitive skills!  The closed beta can be accessed with a secret code available ONLY in the PLAYA3ULL GAMES discord.  Join here to get the exclusive ACCESS CODE. Until next time, gamers - GG Well Played!

This distinctive approach drew inquisitive attendees, providing PLAYA3ULL GAMES with an ideal platform to share the innovative vision for blockchain gaming with key industry leaders.   Core team members seized the opportunity to connect face-to-face with the PLAYA3ULL GAMES community and forge new partnerships.

Their presence resonated deeply with the dedicated followers who regularly interact with them online.   PLAYA3ULL GAMES' forward-thinking vision for the future of blockchain gaming sparked significant interest among attendees. The revelation that there is already a highly successful game, Nexus, available on the Epic Games Store with over 100,000 downloads and 5,000-6,000 daily active users was a monumental achievement.

History of Blockchain Gaming

Blockchain gaming is a groundbreaking innovation that merges the decentralised power of blockchain technology with the immersive worlds of video games. Emerging in the mid-2010s, blockchain games introduced new possibilities for player ownership, digital asset trading, and play-to-earn economies. Early experiments, like CryptoKitties, showcased the potential of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) to create unique, tradable in-game items. Over the years, blockchain gaming has evolved into a thriving ecosystem, blending decentralised finance, metaverse experiences, and cross-chain interoperability. While still in its infancy, blockchain gaming is reshaping how players engage with and benefit from video games in Web3. PLAYA3ULL GAMES has detailed the meteoric rise of blockchain gaming below!   Early blockchain gaming experiments (2013–2017)     The early days of blockchain gaming, from 2013 to 2016, were marked by experimentation and a focus on showcasing the potential of blockchain technology in gaming.  One of the first notable examples was Huntercoin (2014), a multiplayer online game that utilised the Bitcoin blockchain. Players collected in-game coins, which could be converted into cryptocurrency, by competing in a decentralised environment where every move was recorded on-chain. These early games were simple, often limited by the technology of the time, and primarily targeted blockchain enthusiasts.   Ethereum Smart Contracts and Cryptokitties (2015–2017)   The launch of Ethereum in 2015 revolutionised blockchain gaming by introducing smart contracts.  Smart contracts are self-executing programmes stored on the blockchain and can be compared to a binding physical contract that states when an agreement is reached, an action will follow. Ethereum enabled developers to create decentralised applications (dApps) with more complex functionalities. This innovation laid the foundation for blockchain-based games where in-game assets could be tokenised as NFTs (non-fungible tokens).  One of the most influential blockchain games leveraging NFTs was CryptoKitties, which was launched in 2017. The game allowed players to collect, breed, and trade virtual cats, representing each cat as a unique NFT on the Ethereum blockchain. CryptoKitties became a sensation and showcased the potential of blockchain to create digital economies. The surge in transactions from CryptoKitties caused severe network congestion, leading to slower transaction times and higher gas fees. This highlighted the limitations of early blockchain technology and sparked a push for solutions like layer-2 scaling and more efficient protocols to support the growing demand for blockchain gaming.   Rise of Play-to-Earn (2021–2022)   The play-to-earn (P2E) gaming model took centre stage between 2021 and 2022, transforming how players engaged with games by allowing them to earn cryptocurrency as a reward for playing the game. At the forefront of this movement was Axie Infinity, a blockchain game that lets players breed, battle, and trade virtual creatures called Axies, represented as NFTs. Players could control the Axie supply and sell their unique Axies in the marketplace for Ethereum. With the introduction of their Ethereum sidechain, Ronin, transaction fees were much lower and faster than Ethereum’s layer-1 blockchain.  Axie Infinity became particularly popular in countries like the Philippines, where the earnings often surpassed local wages.  The rise of P2E gaming also saw the emergence of game guilds like Yield Guild Games (YGG), which further expanded the ecosystem. These guilds acted as decentralised organisations that pooled resources to invest in in-game assets (via profit-sharing systems), leasing them to players who couldn’t afford the upfront costs. By creating these scholarships and profit-sharing systems, guilds enabled more players to join the P2E movement and kicked off a big year of Venture Capital funding into P2E. The P2E model eventually disbanded due to unsustainable economic structures prioritising speculation over gameplay. Once token values plummeted, player interest dwindled with them.   New blockchain games with fun at its core (2023 and beyond)   From 2023 onwards, blockchain gaming began prioritising fun and gameplay over purely financial incentives.  Web3 video games have been developing for over a year or two and aim to appeal to traditional gamers and blockchain enthusiasts. Games like NEXUS and ORDINEM use multiplayer as the core element and provide an incredible user experience.  P2E elements are still in effect to support those in developing countries, but the emphasis has shifted back to fun and immersive games.  This is the way video games were designed to be.  The future of blockchain gaming is bright by mixing the best elements of Web2 and Web3 video games.   What a blast from the past that was, right? We hope this blog helped you appreciate the journey of blockchain gaming and the improvements made over time for new blockchain games.  Until next time, gamers - GG Well Played!

Web3 Gaming: Best Blockchain Games To Explore in 2023

What are Web3 Games?   Web3 games, also called blockchain video games or decentralized games, are video games that leverage the blockchain era and the standards of Web3 to introduce new functions and capabilities no longer discovered in traditional centralized games.   These games are constructed on decentralized networks and utilize clever contracts and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) to symbolize in-game property and interactions.   Ready to embark on a gaming adventure that brings more than just entertainment?

Game developers can earn a component of these costs.   Initial NFT Sales (Pre-Sale)   Some Web3 games conduct pre-sales of NFTs or limited editions of in-game assets before the official launch. These pre-sales can generate significant revenue for the developers.   Play-to-Earn Model   In play-to-earn Web3 games, players can earn rewards, virtual currency, or valuable NFTs by actively participating in the game. These rewards can have real-world value, and players can either use them in the game or sell them on NFT marketplaces, creating an incentive to play and potentially earn money.   Commissions and Royalties   Game developers can implement commission fees or royalties for each secondary sale of NFTs. When players buy or trade NFTs on secondary markets, a percentage of the transaction value can go to the game developers, allowing them to earn continuous revenue from player-driven transactions.   Virtual Real Estate and Development   Some Web3 games include virtual real estate or land ownership. Developers can monetize the sale of virtual land parcels or charge players to develop and customize their virtual properties.   In-Game Advertising and Sponsorships   Web3 games with a large player base can attract advertisers or sponsors looking to promote products or services within the game world, generating additional revenue for the developers.   Partnerships and Collaborations   Game developers can enter into partnerships with other projects or brands to create limited-edition NFTs or in-game collaborations, generating excitement among players and driving revenue from sales.   Expansion Packs and DLCs   Similar to traditional games, Web3 games can offer expansion packs or downloadable content (DLC) that players can purchase, providing new content and experiences for additional revenue.   Top Play-To-Earn Web3 Games to Explore in 2023   Here is a list of top Web3 games to play in 2023:   NEXUS   Nexus is one the top Web3 games which is from PLAYA3ULL GAMES.   NEXUS is a third person MOBA shooter.

PLAYA3ULL GAMES launches new AI division to supercharge game development

PLAYA3ULL GAMES enters a new exciting era by establishing a dedicated Research & Development (R&D) department focused on integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) into game development. The technological advancements like NVIDIA’s Generative AI system give endless possibilities for unique interactions between Non-Playable Characters (NPC) and gamers.  A new AI department will work alongside PLAYA3ULL’s game development team and create faster workflows, new revenue sources, and increased utility for the 3ULL coin.    Read below on how PLAYA3ULL GAMES is pioneering as the world's first blockchain game company at the intersection of Web3, gaming, and AI.   Who is PLAYA3ULL GAMES?     PLAYA3ULL GAMES is a video game company with a 3ullish goal of creating 30 games in 10 years. We build fun, immersive games that take popular genres and add blockchain rewards.  Our first game, NEXUS, was the number one game on the Epic Games Store at launch and recently celebrated its 1-year 3ULLiversary.  With four more games set to go public soon, PLAYA3ULL GAMES is leading the charge on how blockchain game companies must develop.   To date, here are some of our greatest achievements: Successful crypto fundraising. Ongoing 3ULL coin distribution and node sales. Distributing 5 billion 3ULL coins annually over 10 years. Established gaming platform. Creating the 3ULL blockchain on the Avalanche subnet. Growing a thriving gaming community with over 70K followers collectively.    Our goal: 30 high-quality PC games and 1 million players in our community. Continually creating utility for the 3ULL coin is a significant focus. This is why we’re excited to build a dedicated AI department to boost all aspects of our games and ecosystem.   Why create an AI division?   The move to integrate AI comes with several significant benefits. By leveraging AI-driven systems, PLAYA3ULL GAMES aims to reduce development cycles, improve speed by reducing repetitive tasks, and expand our production team’s capabilities. This will also allow the company to maximise its team's potential by focusing our efforts on higher-value tasks. This gives PLAYA3ULL GAMES a competitive edge in the gaming industry, enabling us to stay ahead of technological advancements.   The new AI department will hire one C++ programmer and one game art developer.  These hires will have proven skills and experience with released games and work with the game dev team.  They won’t be building games but working with two new AI scientists to research and develop AI tools that will be used to enhance the game development process. Once the game dev team identifies opportunities for integrating AI, they will hand it over to the AI research team to learn how to plug it into the games.  An example of this in development is an NPC merchant owner who can remember who you are and create new generative conversions in DOGS OF WAR. This ensures every gamer has their own unique experience.     The recent introduction of Procedural Content Generation in Unreal Engine (PCG) empowers technical artists, designers, and programmers to rapidly create buildings and gaming worlds. As a result, AI-driven systems are poised to become highly sought-after in the video gaming industry. This demand will open up PLAY3ULL’s next stream of revenue: offering our AI systems as Software as a Service (SaaS). Introducing the gaming world to our AI systems   The expansion into AI means we can monetise the system as a SaaS product to other gaming companies.  Utilising our AI intellectual property (IP) internally first, we will test and make sure they work in our games.  There will be real-world examples in our games for players and companies to see! The best part? Companies wanting to use our AI services can only utilise 3ULL Coin for their respective products.  This further boosts the coin's utility and adds a new income stream for PLAYA3ULL GAMES and the 3ULL coin community.  This initiative pushes us to become technology leaders with industry influence. Attracting businesses, developers, and gamers to our ecosystem.   The first cycle narrative for us was the merging of master node owners, 3ULL coin traders, and gamers.  With this new AI division, the focus will shift to the world’s first dedicated blockchain game company that combines game development, blockchain technology, and AI.  There’s no better time to get excited about what’s ahead for PLAYA3ULL GAMES.  Check out the roadmap below.   The big roadmap for 2025 and beyond     Q4 2024: Establish the AI research department. Q1 2025: Begin AI developments. Q3 2025: Launch AI-enhanced game features. Q4 2025: Package AI systems into SaaS products. Q2 2026: Launch the SaaS sales platform.   Watch the full announcement here.   With this new addition to the PLAYA3ULL Games ecosystem, our team and community will level up and enjoy more video games faster. Are you keen to get involved? We are always looking for the best talent to join PLAYA3ULL GAMES. Reach out here.   Until next time, gamers - GG Well Played!

How NFT Games finally give back to gamers

Gamers, you deserve better.  For too long, your time in-game and your assets weren’t being rewarded.  With the introduction of blockchain/Web3 and NFT (Non-fungible tokens), a new level of ownership has been unlocked.  A new way to earn by playing a game and a new way to have power in fostering a gaming community.Let’s dissect exactly how NFT games give back to gamers.   Real rewards for your gaming hours   Imagine this: you’re playing a highly addictive game for multiple hours daily.  It’s fun and challenging, plus your friends are playing it.  But when you tally up those hours over weeks or years, what do you have to show for it? Most of the time, those countless hours and dollars are spent with little to no tangible benefit in return.  Read this cautionary gaming story for proof.  NFT games empower users to be rewarded for their time. These NFT games include the benefit of buying, selling, or trading the NFTs in an open marketplace where the reward can be a cryptocurrency.  With that cryptocurrency, you can sell it for real money, spend it within the ecosystem, or trade it for another currency.  Another way to earn crypto is to play the game itself.  Instead of a locked in-game currency like Fortnite’s ‘Vbucks’, you can earn a tradeable cryptocurrency like 3ULL coin by playing NEXUS.  Those countless gaming hours are no longer spent in vain because they now provide a source of income. This appeals to many gamers who wish their time could be more productive, offering a sense of purpose and reducing frustration in grind-heavy games.   Actual ownership that matters   For many decades, big video game companies like Blizzard had a stranglehold on player’s ownership.  They could ban you for various reasons, and that ban meant your in-game assets would now be frozen indefinitely.  Sometimes, this resulted in lost time; other times, it meant losing the money spent purchasing those digital items. Losing years of progress due to a ban or a game shutting down can be incredibly disheartening. Having the option to transfer your characters, skins, items, or assets outside the game is essential.  That’s where NFT solves that issue.  If unforeseen circumstances force a player to abandon a video game voluntarily, those in-game assets can be traded, so it’s not a complete loss for the player.  A new way of ownership outside NFTs is owning a game/company node. PLAYA3ULL GAMES has decided to distribute nodes so users can claim daily 3ULL coins and help run the network.  This becomes another option for gamers who want to be in an ecosystem but may not have many hours to play.  The nodes can be fractional, so you can pool with other users and share a node.  This allows players to retain value even after they stop playing or take a break.   Building a community-driven experience for players   One of the most unique opportunities new blockchain games offer players is a verified way of deciding the direction of games. A DAO is a Decentralised Autonomous Organisation in which only holders of a specific token can vote.  But how do they verify holders?  Using the blockchain and a digital wallet, the DAO scans the wallet for the specific NFT or token.  This also ensures the decision-makers are invested in the game and have its best interests at heart.  DAOs can be responsible for how a game’s treasury is distributed, which proposals get accepted or rejected, and even earning a tax on specific actions in-game.  As a result, decisions are no longer solely made by the CEOs; the community also gets their say.  Splinterlands is a trading card game that has a strong community focus, where token holders play an active role in shaping future content and making adjustments through community proposals.   This transparency in governance also encourages more collaboration between developers and gamers.  In NFT gaming, players also become investors, aligning their interests with the game’s success. This helps ensure that decisions support the game's longevity rather than selfish actions, such as draining the game’s treasury. With the handy edition of Discord, players are equipped with the tools to shape the game they love and can reward community members and leaders with incentives.  Recently, we launched the ‘Big3ULL chat’, a dedicated space for investors to connect directly with the PLAYA3ULL GAMES team. NFT games break the barriers of traditional games and let players get insights much earlier than everyone else.  Creating a much-needed thriving community experience.   We hope this blog highlighted the benefits of NFT gaming and ushering in a new frontier for video games to explore.  Actual ownership of in-game assets and being rewarded for your hard-earned hours of gameplay are things all games should have.

Best P2E NFT Games to Earn High Rewards

Best P2E NFT Games List  Play-to-Earn NFT games have emerged as a captivating intersection of gaming and crypto.    These games leverage non-fungible tokens (NFTs) to empower players with true ownership of in-game assets, providing an avenue for earning tangible rewards.   We've made a list of really awesome Play-to-Earn NFT games for you. In these games, you get to explore virtual worlds, and the best part is that playing isn't just about having fun – you can score some cool rewards while you're at it!   The Rise of the P2E Gaming Model   The emergence of Play-to-Earn (P2E) games marks a significant shift in how people engage with video games.    These games use something called blockchain technology and special tokens called NFTs. This lets players really own stuff in the game, like characters or items, which is different from regular games where you don't fully own what you get.    It's like a cool upgrade, breaking away from the usual limited ownership in traditional games.   Central to the P2E gaming model is the implementation of blockchain technology and Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs).    Blockchain ensures transparency, security, and immutability, creating a decentralized and trustless gaming ecosystem.    NFTs, on the other hand, serve as digital certificates of ownership, guaranteeing the uniqueness and authenticity of in-game assets. This innovation allows players to truly own and trade their virtual possessions.   What Are P2E NFT Games?   Play-to-Earn (P2E) NFT games function as video games where players can earn rewards through gameplay.    These games allow players to possess special items like characters or in-game assets, and the ownership of these items is authenticated through NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens). NFTs ensure the uniqueness and legitimacy of the player's ownership.    P2E games offer a unique blend of recreational gaming and the opportunity to accumulate valuable assets simultaneously.   How Do P2E Games Work?   Here's a simplified breakdown of how P2E games typically work:    Blockchain Foundation: P2E games are built on blockchain networks like Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, Polygon, or others. Blockchain provides a decentralized and secure environment, ensuring transparency, immutability, and ownership of in-game assets.  Smart Contracts: Smart contracts are self-executing contracts with the terms of the agreement directly written into code. In P2E games, smart contracts manage various in-game processes, such as asset ownership, transactions, and rewards distribution.  NFTs and Ownership: In-game assets, such as characters, items, or land, are represented as NFTs. Each NFT is unique and can be owned by individual players. The ownership and transaction history of these assets are recorded on the blockchain. Initial Asset Sales: Developers often initiate the game by selling NFTs through initial coin offerings (ICOs), initial NFT sales, or other means. Players purchase these assets using cryptocurrency, establishing the foundation of the in-game economy.  Earn-as-You-Play System: Players have the opportunity to receive rewards by engaging in different in-game tasks, including finishing quests, reaching goals, or contributing to the game's community. These rewards are commonly given in the form of cryptocurrency or extra NFTs. Decentralized Marketplaces: P2E games typically feature decentralized marketplaces where players can buy, sell, and trade their in-game assets with others. Smart contracts within the marketplace automate transactions and ensure secure asset transfers.  Royalties and Secondary Market: When players sell their in-game assets in the secondary market, developers can include royalty mechanisms through smart contracts. This means developers receive a percentage of the sale value whenever an asset changes hands in subsequent transactions.  Governance and Community Engagement: Some P2E games incorporate governance tokens that allow players to participate in decision-making processes regarding the game's development. Community engagement is often encouraged, creating a sense of ownership and shared responsibility.    Top 5 Play-To-Earn NFT Games List - Our Best Picks   Here are our top 5 picks for the best P2E NFT games.    P2E NFT Game Title Game Genre Publisher Blockchain Platform Token Nexus Action PLAYA3ULL GAMES Avalanche Windows/PC 3ULL Coin War of Steel Battle PLAYA3ULL GAMES Avalanche Windows/PC 3ULL Coin Dogs of War Sci-Fi PLAYA3ULL GAMES Avalanche Windows/PC 3ULL Coin Starvin Martian Action PLAYA3ULL GAMES Avalanche Windows/PC 3ULL Coin Ordinem Card Game PLAYA3ULL GAMES Avalanche Windows/PC 3ULL Coin   Other Popular P2E NFT Games List   Game Title Genre Publisher Token Used Blockchain Axie Infinity RPG/Strategy Sky Mavis AXS, SLP Ethereum Decentraland Virtual World Decentraland MANA Ethereum CryptoKitties Collectibles Dapper Labs CK Ethereum Sorare Fantasy Football Sorare SO5 Ethereum The Sandbox Virtual World The Sandbox SAND Ethereum Alien Worlds Mining/Strategy Alien Worlds TLM WAX (EOSIO) Lost Relics Action RPG Lost Relics RELIC Enjin MyCryptoHeroes RPG Double Jump.Tokyo MCH Ethereum Ember Sword MMORPG Brightstar Studios EMR-SFT Matic (Polygon) League of Kingdoms Strategy League of Kingdoms KING Ethereum Splinterlands Card Game Splinterlands DEC, SPS Hive Gala Games Various Gala Games GALA, TOWN, MIRANDA Ethereum Blankos Block Party MMO Party Game Mythical Games BLANKOS Ethereum Rarible NFT Marketplace Rarible RARI Ethereum ChainGuardians RPG ChainGuardians CGG Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain Nine Chronicles RPG Planetarium NCG ICON Miranda’s Genesis MMORPG Gala Games MIR Ethereum Neon District RPG/Strategy Blockade Games NFTX Ethereum Mist Adventure/RPG Dimension MIST Polygon Cryptovoxels Virtual World Cryptovoxels ETH Ethereum Dark Country Card Game Dark Country NFT WAX (EOSIO) 0xUniverse Strategy 0xGames 0XC Ethereum Brave Frontier Heroes RPG/Strategy Double Jump.Tokyo BXB, BNB Binance Smart Chain CryptantCrab Strategy Appxplore CRAB Ethereum MegaCryptoPolis Strategy MegaCryptopolis MEGA Ethereum Crypto Space Command Strategy 0xGames CSC Ethereum Blockchain Cuties Adventure Blockchain Cuties CUTIE Ethereum Aavegotchi Virtual Pets Aavegotchi GHST Polygon Battle Racers Racing Altitude Games RACER Ethereum Blocklords Strategy NEOWIZ AXIE NEO Blockchain Dissolution FPS/Strategy Dissolution DAI, USDC Ethereum Gods Unchained Card Game Immutable GU Immutable X CryptoAssault Strategy Crypto Assault ENJ Enjin Revomon AR Adventure Revomon REV Ethereum Upland Virtual Real Estate Upland UPX EOSIO Light Trail Rush Racing B2Expand LIGHTRUSH Binance Smart Chain MegaCryptoPolis Wars Strategy MegaCryptopolis MEGA Ethereum Cryptopolis Strategy Good Games Guild CPC Ethereum Nifty Football Fantasy Football Nifty Labs NFTY Ethereum Axie Infinity: Origin RPG/Strategy Sky Mavis AXS, SLP Ronin Vulcan Verse Virtual World Vulcan Forged PYR Polygon Etheremon Adventure/RPG Etheremon EMON Ethereum Cryptoskull Strategy Quazard Labs SKULL Binance Smart Chain DreamTeam Sports Management DreamTeam DREAM Ethereum   How Can You Earn Rewards By Playing The Top P2E NFT Crypto Games?   Players in NFT games have the opportunity to make money through the play-to-earn model, which fundamentally alters the traditional gaming landscape. By engaging in various in-game activities, players can earn real-world value in the form of cryptocurrency or other digital assets.    The key avenues for players to generate income include participating in initial game sales where they acquire valuable NFTs, such as characters or land.    These assets can be traded within decentralized marketplaces, and players can earn money through secondary sales by receiving royalties on transactions.    Additionally, as players actively contribute to the game's ecosystem, they may benefit from in-game rewards, cryptocurrencies, or tokens, fostering a dynamic player-driven economy.    The value of rare or sought-after in-game assets also provides players with the opportunity to profit by strategically buying, selling, or holding these assets as their values fluctuate in the market.    Overall, the play-to-earn model transforms gaming into a potentially lucrative venture for players, rewarding them for their time, skill, and strategic decisions within the virtual world.   Conclusion   There are lots of exciting opportunities in the world of Play-to-Earn NFT games. The games we talked about aren't just fun to play, they also give you a chance to earn some big rewards.    Whether you're a gamer looking for a new adventure or someone wanting to grab opportunities, these games are the way to go for a mix of gaming and making cool rewards.Want to experience the thrill of NEXUS?  The third-person MOBA is free to play now on the Epic Games Store.  Download it here.

ORDINEM - Official Game Release on Epic Games Store

The PLAYA3ULL GAMES team is excited to announce that the official open beta release of our second game, ORDINEM, is now available on the Epic Games store.   ORDINEM lets you command your own combination of the five mythical factions, using your deck of cards to cast spells and summon followers.  It is a Trading Card Game (TCG) which features cards as Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) and 3ULL coin integration.  The game is heavily inspired by Magic: The Gathering, Hearthstone and other similar online card games.   Below, you’ll find a starter’s guide to ORDINEM.  Let’s go! Get the crash course on ORDINEM right here!   What are the basic game rules?   ORDINEM challenges players to strategically play cards in battle, giving them the best opportunity to defeat the opposing player. All cards have archetypes, which determine how you use them on the battlefield. Followers, for example, are your troops with strength (attack) and resilience (hit point).  They also have a 'thread cost', determining how many threads you need to put onto the frontier. For a full breakdown of the rulebook, click here.  Below are card archetypes that can be found in ORDINEM. Follower Followers are ‘creatures’ or ‘minions’ that can be summoned.  Followers have Strength and Resilience. Strength is how much damage the follower deals when it attacks, and Resilience is how much it can take. If Resilience is ever 0, the Follower is destroyed.   Relic Relics are mechanical contraptions that serve various purposes. They stay on the Frontier and usually have passive or activated abilities.   Twine Twines are magical objects or enhancements made from woven threads of magic.

Blockchain Gaming in 2024 and Beyond

Blockchain gaming has been on a rollercoaster of a ride since its inception.  From ‘play-to-earn’ to ‘tap-to-earn,’ and now the general term of blockchain games.  The new wave of Web3 games is taking Web2 fundamentals and years of hard work to create the best gaming experience for users that also reward their time spent. This shift redefines gaming by blending high-quality visuals built in Unreal Engine 5 with blockchain technology offering true asset ownership for users. Below, details the seismic shift in blockchain games. GLHF! Telegram’s tap-to-earn rise in popularity  Users may have heard of the latest craze ‘tap-to-earn’ which has gained popularity in the blockchain gaming space due to Telegram allowing games natively in their app.  With over 950 million users, one of Telegram’s most prolific games ‘Hamster Kombat’ soared to over 300 million users.  Additionally newcomer ‘Catizen’  has accumulated over 27 million daily active users.  A flurry of new mobile-friendly games have now crash landed into Telegram, but why?   ‘Tap-to-earn’ offers a simple and accessible way for users to engage with blockchain applications and earn tokens with minimal effort. It incentivises participation and interaction through easy tasks and constant activity, making it appealing to crypto enthusiasts and newcomers. Unlike other games, all gamers need is the Telegram app and a phone with an internet connection to play.   With ‘tap-to-earn’ essentially replacing the ‘play-to-earn’ model, many users still believe the gameplay mechanics aren’t strong enough for long term sustainable growth for these games. With all hyped up blockchain game narratives, users must take caution to zoom out and assess the longevity of projects.  Games that have proven fundamental gaming models should be prioritised. Hamster Kombat ignited the popularity of tap-to-earn games.   Bringing Web2 fundamentals into blockchain gaming   Blockchain gaming integrates fundamentals taken from Web2 into a new digital landscape. These include fun multiplayer aspects, free-to-play, and higher-quality games to match the current state of video games. The Epic Games Store has embraced blockchain gaming by showcasing these new innovations. Unlike previous generations of blockchain gaming that focused on simple browser-clicking games, new blockchain games are built in Unreal Engine 5 and prioritise enjoyment over rewards.   A key aspect of blockchain gaming is the shift from traditional play-to-earn models to more dynamic systems. While Fortnite and Roblox have popularised cosmetic skins and in-game purchases, blockchain technology takes this a step further. Blockchain technology has introduced actual ownership of digital assets through Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) and the potential for players to earn from their gameplay via tokens.   Blockchain companies like PLAYA3ULL GAMES will release 30 games in 10 years that all utilise the 3ULL coin. As blockchain gaming evolves, it will blend the best of Web2 practices with advanced blockchain technology to create immersive and rewarding experiences gamers have yearned for.   Unreal Engine 5 graphics are being prioritised in blockchain gaming.   Best blockchain games to play in 2024   Blockchain gaming is booming in 2024. While new titles emerge constantly, these addictive games are ready to devour your free time. NEXUS - is a competitive third-person Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) shooter that soared to the #1 trending game on the Epic Games Store in its first week of release.    Illuvium - is a series of games in which players explore a vast world to capture and battle creatures called Illuvials.   Axie Infinity - is a pet breeding and battling game where creatures called Axies inhabit the world.   Shrapnel - is a competitive shooter, launching on PC with early access in 2024.   Wilder World - is a vast multiplayer metaverse that utilises cutting-edge advancements in photorealism, artificial intelligence, and blockchain technology.   Parallel - is a sci-fi-based competitive card game where players build decks and face off in epic battles.   ORDINEM - lets you command one of five mythical factions, using your deck of cards to cast spells and summon creatures. Open Beta release is scheduled for Q4 2024.   ORDINEM is set to release in Q4 2024.   PLAYA3ULL GAMES hope this article gives you a VIP pass into the current state of blockchain gaming and beyond. Video games that have been in the space for multiple years with proven teams and experience are readying up to give gamers the best gameplay with rewards. Until next time, gamers - GG Well Played!

PLAYA3ULL GAMES Partners with Evertreen to Plant Over 6,500 Trees for Earth Day

This Earth Day marks 54 years since the inaugural event in 1970 catalysed the modern environmental movement. Aligning with this urgent cause, PLAYA3ULL GAMES is thrilled to announce a strategic partnership with Evertreen, the renowned global reforestation platform. This partnership entails a joint commitment to fund and support reforestation projects, leveraging our respective strengths and resources to make a significant impact.   To offset the energy used to power blockchain technology, PLAYA3ULL GAMES has sponsored planting 6,526 trees in areas threatened by deforestation across five countries. An additional number of trees will soon follow to match the number of PLAYA3ULL GAMES Nodes recently sold. PLAYA3ULL GAMES' reforestation efforts will remove 2,017 tons of atmosphere-warming carbon dioxide.   Evertreen is an impact-driven startup on a mission to recover lost forests at scale using technology and incentive systems structured around the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Their innovative app, which uses satellite imagery tracking, allows individuals and businesses to fund the planting of real trees. The app provides updates on the growth and health of the trees, giving funders a tangible way to see the impact of their contributions.   Since 2020, Evertreen has coordinated the planting of over 1.17 million trees across 14 countries, including the Philippines, India, Madagascar, Kenya, Ethiopia, Mozambique, the United States and more. Their reforestation projects restore native species in areas threatened by deforestation and land degradation. Beyond absorbing over 220,000 tons of carbon dioxide, these vital projects have also generated over 146,000 working hours to alleviate poverty by providing employment opportunities for local farmers who gain purpose in planting and caring for the restored forests. Moreover, reforestation supports biodiversity by creating habitats for various species, and it helps regulate water cycles, prevent soil erosion and improve air quality.   Evertreen's innovative approach empowers partners like PLAYA3ULL GAMES and you to take tangible climate action. Together, we can make forests flourish for future generations. Evertreen's network of certified local farmers, chosen for their expertise in selecting native species matched to regional soils and climates, is a testament to the power of collective action.   With esteemed partners like Evertreen, who share our vision of sustainability, PLAYA3ULL GAMES is poised to implement scalable solutions that benefit both our business and the planet. Reforestation, a crucial element in any strategy to draw down atmospheric carbon and restore precious forests, is at the heart of our Earth Day celebration. We are proud to announce that we are funding over 6,500 trees, a significant step towards a greener future.   Together our companies share an unwavering commitment to environmental sustainability and finding innovative ways to combat pressing issues like deforestation, biodiversity decline and carbon emissions.   The trees planted this Earth Day are only the beginning. As PLAYA3ULL GAMES continues expanding, we plan to integrate additional eco-friendly practices across our operations. These initiatives include matching all future node sales with reforested trees and other policies. From this day forward, a tree will be planted for every PLAYA3ULL GAMES Node purchased.   This Earth Day collaboration highlights PLAYA3ULL GAMES' dedication to minimising the environmental impact of blockchain technology. By joining forces with sustainability leaders like Evertreen, we aim to set the standard for ecological responsibility in blockchain gaming.   While PLAYA3ULL GAMES pushes gaming innovation further, we remain committed to ensuring environmental sustainability remains a core value. This Earth Day initiative represents the first step in an ambitious, long-term journey towards carbon neutrality. We are committed to making a significant and lasting impact on the environment.    You can follow the PLAYA3ULL GAMES' contribution to making our planet greener here: https://evertreen.com/company/playa3ullgames/Want to experience the thrill of NEXUS?  The third-person MOBA is free to play now on the Epic Games Store.  Download it here.

NEXUS drops a game-changing update to the crypto gaming ecosystem

Since NEXUS debuted as the #1 trending game in its opening week on the Epic Games Store, the player base and improvements have skyrocketed.  The big 1.6 Patch brings in many gameplay improvements and quality of life (QOL) upgrades that the community have been begging for.     PLAYA3ULL GAMES is committed to giving its players the most fun and engaging crypto gaming experience, and with these new upgrades, the community is already buzzing!   Let’s dive in.   What is NEXUS?   In 2046, the discovery of Flow and Flux, capable of healing and reshaping matter, led to the creation of artificial NEXUSES. The NEXUSES unleash catastrophic mutations and spark the NEXUS Wars.  In this war-torn world, you must navigate the chaos, wielding these volatile powers to fuel the conflict or restore balance.  Victory is your only hope.    NEXUS is a third-person Free-to-Play (F2P) Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) shooter video game inspired by multiplayer tyrants: League of Legends, Dota 2, and Overwatch 2.  Defend your NEXUS at all costs, push towers, and ruthlessly destroy your enemies in this fast-paced 5-player vs 5-player (5v5) MOBA action built within Unreal Engine.   Ready to jump into the brand-spanking new updates?   Gameplay     In-game levels and new upgrades   Defeating enemies, minions, and neutrals now grants experience points. When passing set thresholds, you will level up to Level 13. Levelling up grants additional maximum health, mana and a slight boost to material and quantum damage. Players gain an ability point when they level up. Abilities are no longer purchased from the shop. Instead, you can open the ability store at any time and purchase or upgrade them with an ability point. Abilities can no longer be sold. Basic abilities now have five levels, and ultimate abilities have three levels. Ultimate abilities purchase and upgrade are only available at player levels 5, 9, and 13. Shortcut: to upgrade an ability without opening the store, press Left-ALT + Ability Key (Q, E, or T). Updated bounty system to also track death streaks, reducing the amount a player awards on death the more they die. Introduced wards that grant vision for a set duration around them on the mini-map.

The blast unleashes quantum damage across a 9-meter radius, rooting enemies in place and layering on stacks of Frostbite. Deploy Lurker (Ultimate): Deploys a stealthy mine that burrows into the ground, cloaking itself near-invisible and immune to the area of effect damage. Triggers an explosion that deals quantum damage instantly within a 10m radius, plus additional quantum damage over 5 seconds. Affected enemies are also slowed by 20% for the duration. Short Circuit (Ultimate): Shock all enemies within a 10-meter radius, inflicting quantum damage while stunning them. For each enemy player hit, the user receives boosts of 5% fire rate, 5% movement speed, 4 HP regeneration, and 2 energy regeneration. Hitting enemy players also results in a 10% reduction in the user's cooldowns, including Short Circuit. Lifebinders Respite (Ultimate): Generate an immediate aura of healing energy, instantly restoring 20 HP to the caster and all allies within a 9-meter radius. Further, maintain a sustained healing aura lasting for 7 seconds, providing HP regeneration per second to all allies in the area.

Inflicts quantum damage instead. Now, it has two charges and can have two placed at once. Healing Sphere: Renamed to Flowburst. Creates an expanding sphere of energy that heals allies and harms enemies. Reduced healing to self and reduced damage to minions. Rally Allies: Renamed to Inspire. Grants increased damage dealt, reduced damage taken and life steal on abilities to you and allies near you for the duration. Allies receive a stronger buff and stacks at 50% effectiveness. Rocket Strike: Renamed to Flux Barrage. Now, it deals damage to all enemies in the target area on each strike. Haste Support: Renamed to Tailwind. Now, it grants movement speed and increased fire rate to nearby allies for a duration when cast (not an aura). Nuke (ultimate): Renamed to Skyfall and reworked visual effects.

WTF is Crypto? A new book by PLAYA3ULL GAMES founder Jonathan Bouzanquet

Jonathan Bouzanquet, known to many as 0ld3ULL in the PLAYA3ULL GAMES community, has released a new book called ‘WTF is Crypto: Cryptocurrency Will Be Arriving On Platform 4 At 4:06pm.’     This essential, no-nonsense beginner's guide cuts through the jargon of cryptocurrency, blockchain, NFTs, and Web3. Jonathan breaks it down with humour and clarity, whether you're a total beginner or looking to refine your skills.   The book/e-book can be directly purchased through Amazon here or search 'WTF is Crypto?' on Amazon in your location.    Discover the contents of Jono’s book below in this comprehensive preview.   Who is this book for?   This book is dedicated to the everyday person who wants to heighten their awareness of this transformative technology. Blockchain is being adopted faster than the internet and mobile phones, yet many bystanders are scared of technology. Some still believe it has no place in their daily lives. You couldn’t be more wrong; this book is perfect for you!   In this book, he covers the basics of crypto for the ‘Mr Bob Normal and Miss Everywoman’ and empowers readers to transition to a new realm of possibilities.   “For the first time in history, we see an industry forming around society's intelligentsia. For the first time in history, an industry is being born that is not being run by people who inherited it or, like the oil industry, found it by luck on their dying farms or their desert countries. It is not based on who is stronger or who can kill the most people. No, for the first time in history, smart people (and I mean some of the smartest in the world) are at the centre of a disruptive technology that can change money forever and the world's power base,” states Jonathan.   To his family and friends, Jonathan is a constant source of inspiration. Sometimes maddeningly optimistic, he is driven by a deep belief that his ideas could change the world. As the founder of PLAYA3ULL GAMES, he was first successful in raising money to build a small crypto game for Gala Games with his little team in Melbourne. The game quickly took off, and Jonathan’s been 3ULLish ever since by expanding PLAYA3ULL GAMES into one of the most prolific Web3 gaming studios.  He is targeting a big goal of releasing 30 games in 10 years.   Subjects covered in the book   ‘WTF is Crypto’ examines a diverse range of Web3 subjects that will prepare readers with an encyclopaedia of knowledge, including:   What is blockchain? What is Bitcoin? A historical look at the internet and tech stocks. The difference between coins and tokens. Hot wallets vs cold wallets. Common scams to avoid in crypto. What are crypto exchanges? Basic investment strategies. The rise of NFTs. The role of nodes. Risk management tools and resources. Permissionless vs Permissioned systems. Nodes and Web3 gaming studios. Real-world examples and use cases include El Salvador, Tesla, Binance, Mt. Gox, BitConnect, Bored Ape Yacht Club. The future of crypto.   Jonathan puts the reader in the driver’s seat to swivel through the crypto rollercoaster with some fast-tracked knowledge of pitfalls to avoid.  This is further heightened by his examples of real-world companies and use cases.   Available to read right now!   Don’t get left sitting on the sidelines as Bitcoin skyrockets to new all-time highs! ‘WTF is Crypto’ begs you to understand this revolutionary technology before it’s too late. ​​Buy it here to support the PLAYA3ULL GAMES ecosystem further.    “While the crypto world may seem daunting at first, remember that we're still in the early stages - comparable to the internet in the mid-1990s,” he writes.   “There's enormous potential for growth and innovation ahead. As we move forward, it's crucial to keep learning and stay informed about this rapidly evolving technology.”   Are you excited to get the best and easiest overview of Web3?   Watch the full announcement video below👇   Until next time, gamers - GG Well Played!

Building a Web3 gaming platform: the blueprint for success

Web3 development brings a revolutionary shift in the gaming industry, empowering players with ownership, control, and the opportunity for financial reward. In this blog, we examine the core reasons driving this paradigm shift, examining the transition from traditional Web2 models to Web3 gaming platforms like those we are building here at PLAYA3ULL GAMES. We also discuss balancing play-to-earn mechanics and navigating regulatory uncertainty, highlighting the path towards realising this exciting new gaming era's full potential.   Game on!   Understanding the reasons for Web3 Gaming and PLAYA3ULL GAMES   Web3 gaming platforms leverage blockchain technology to empower players. This decentralisation allows players to truly own their in-game items, represented as Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), which can be used across different games and virtual worlds, helping to foster the concept of interoperability.     A key driver for Web3 gaming's rise is the play-to-earn (P2E) model. This innovative approach allows players to generate real-world value through gameplay, transforming gaming from a hobby into a potential source of income. By participating in the game's ecosystem, players can earn cryptocurrencies or NFTs, which can then be traded or sold. Games like NEXUS give out 2.1 million 3ULL coins weekly to the players.   Smart Contracts are self-executing agreements written in code that automate in-game processes and lead to enhanced levels of trust and fairness. This transparency fosters a more equitable and engaging gaming environment. While challenges still remain (scalability and user adoption being some of the largest), the potential for Web3 technology to revolutionise the gaming industry is undeniable.    Key Features Every Web3 Gaming Platform Needs   The potential of Web3 gaming hinges on the delivery of engaging experiences that transcend tokenisation and P2E opportunities. Fun and compelling gameplay will always remain paramount to any committed gamer. Web3 elements should enhance the core experience, focusing on memorable moments and satisfying progression.   A sustainable in-game economy is crucial for longevity. Platforms must balance asset creation and consumption while preventing inflation and immediate selling. This isn’t going to be easy. Regular monitoring and adjustment are key, along with ‘sink mechanisms’ that remove assets from circulation.   Innovative gameplay mechanics that leverage blockchain technology are essential for Web3 gaming success. Beyond tokenising assets, platforms should explore decentralised world-building, provable randomness for fair systems, and dynamic narratives driven by player actions.   Seamless onboarding is also vital for mainstream adoption. Intuitive tutorials, smooth wallet creation, and the abstraction of complex crypto elements are crucial for a positive first-time user experience.   As we all know, a thriving community is the backbone of any successful platform. Social features, regular events, clear communication channels, and user feedback systems help foster greater levels of engagement and trust. This is why our Supporta3ULLS Discord community does a great job helping all players with issues or queries.   Designing incentive systems for users   Effective incentive design is crucial for driving user behaviour within the Web3 gaming platform. At its core, it leverages the principle that rewards and encourages specific actions. Effective incentive systems align user motivations with project goals, helping to foster increased levels of growth and user engagement. It is generally accepted that a well-designed system should incentivise positive contributions and discourage negative actions.     The first step in incentive design is the identification of desired behaviours, such as holding tokens, participating in governance, or contributing to platform development. Incentives can then be structured to reward these actions, while penalties can deter undesirable behaviour.    Financial rewards, access to exclusive resources, or even recognition can all serve as effective motivators. The overall tokenomics of the Web3 gaming platform, including supply, demand, and value, should also be carefully considered. Creating network effects, such as rewarding early adopters, can further boost user participation.     A number of innovative incentive mechanisms currently exist. With new concepts being added everyday, P2E gamers can choose from learn-to-earn, move-to-earn, play-to-own, play-to-earn, rent-to-earn, travel-to-earn, share-to-earn, and wellness-to-earn.   As you can see, each mechanism caters to different user motivations, from acquiring knowledge to achieving fitness goals.   Ignoring incentives can be detrimental and lead to low user participation, lack of motivation, and potential security risks. Therefore, a balanced approach that combines compelling incentives with a valuable product or service is key to long-term success.   Overcoming Challenges in Web3 Game Development   Web3 gaming faces a complex set of challenges. Whilst balancing ‘play’ and ‘earn’ remains paramount, games must be engaging and fun and not solely focused on financial rewards. Striking this balance is crucial for long-term player retention.   User experience is another major hurdle. Onboarding must be simplified, making wallet connections and account setup. Understanding blockchain mechanics is intuitive for ‘non-crypto’ players. It goes without saying that seamless fiat on/off-ramps are essential for mainstream adoption, allowing players to easily convert traditional currency to cryptocurrency and vice-versa.   The shift towards player ownership requires careful design to align incentives between developers and players. This can be achieved through revenue-sharing models, player-owned governance systems, or decentralised autonomous organisations (DAOs). Economic sustainability is also critical, requiring balanced tokenomics, controlled inflation, and mechanisms to maintain asset value.   Developers must shift focus from pre-sale NFTs to creating high-quality gameplay experiences. Building and nurturing active communities is also vital for success. This involves fostering open communication, incorporating player feedback, and creating a sense of shared ownership among Web3 gamers.   Improved blockchain scalability is also needed to handle increased transaction volumes and ensure smooth gameplay. PLAYA3ULL GAMES has custom-built a blockchain that caters specifically for Web3 video games and the scalability required for success. Enhanced graphics, VR/AR integration, and metaverse development will all help create more immersive experiences, pushing the boundaries of game design.   Web3 gaming represents more than a technological upgrade; it fundamentally changes the relationship between players and games. While challenges like scalability and user adoption remain, the core principles of ownership, transparency, and community-driven development offer a compelling vision for the future of interactive entertainment.   By blurring the lines between entertainment and active participation in a dynamic digital world, Web3 gaming platforms like PLAYA3ULL GAMES are forever changing the world's most popular pastime.      Until next time, gamers - GG Well Played!

Web3 Gaming is Dead. Here’s how to fix it.

So you heard the rumour too? Web3 gaming is dead, right? Think again. With social media alive with rumours of the death of Web3 gaming, we thought we better take a proper look at what is really going on. Strap in! Web3 Gaming Isn’t Dead—It’s Only Getting Started Following the unpredictability of the wider crypto market, Web3 gaming has been going through a crisis in recent months.  With failed projects littering the wayside, it's clear that those who haven’t got their act together face an uphill battle. Not just for viral following but to actually get off the ground in the first place. Like every major gaming revolution before it, whether it be the rise of mobile, free-to-play platforms, eSports, or digital skins, Web3 gaming is facing its share of scepticism. However, as always, the reality is somewhat different. Disruption never comes easy and real change takes time. When you look more closely, what we’re witnessing isn’t the death of Web3 gaming but its transformation into something more powerful than you can ever imagine!   The Death of Hype = The Birth of Quality   During the peak of the last crypto cycle, the Web3 gaming landscape was flooded with sensational hype and unsubstantiated speculation. A large number of projects had no business even calling themselves games as empty promises and rug pulls reigned supreme. As you are no doubt aware, through 2020 and 2021 the Play-to-Earn (P2E) concept exploded. As many of us dreamed of giving up work with the promise of new careers and revenue streams, the P2E model dominated the landscape. However, unsustainable economies don’t last, and as the market corrected, many spectators labelled Web3 gaming a glorious failure. Many hardcore gamers complained that Web3 gaming wasn’t even needed and that it was being pushed on them. When you also consider that many builders entered the space for extraction rather than innovation, the proliferation of poor-quality products across the market made perfect sense. In the background, developers continued to build, confident in the knowledge that the market was evolving. Despite claims of its death, many Web3 gaming projects were still raising significant capital. While Axie Infinity may have replaced wages for some, there was no turning back. The genie was finally out of the bottle. According to @SofiaCryptoVibe the lack of Axie Infinity-style hype doesn't mean death but maturity. The industry is now shedding the gimmicks and refocusing on what truly matters – the player. In 2025, developers have learnt from their mistakes and are building immersive, engaging experiences that are truly worthy of your money. As always in business, it takes time to cut through the noise, find out what works, and refine the product into something that not only meets customer demands but pushes the boundaries of what was previously acceptable.   Gaming’s Rebellious Future: Empowering Players Like Never Before   Web3 gaming continues to flip the script. With the emphasis on freedom, empowerment and true ownership, developers are transforming stale ideas into new concepts. Web3 gaming gives players the power to shape in-game economies, trade assets freely, and participate in community governance. The core philosophy is player-centricity. No more renting of digital items – this time, you own the asset. Say goodbye to locked environments dreamed up by tired old devs. With Web3 gaming, YOU decide how to engage. Web3 gaming isn’t just a minor iteration of a successful concept. It’s a complete rewrite of the rules of engagement! A rebellious movement that hands control to those who fuel the industry – the gamers. The Builders Who Are Defying the Odds Despite the turmoil, forward-thinking studios continue to build. Major gaming houses are integrating blockchain concepts, thereby recognising the value Web3 brings to society. For example, in 2025, we have seen Sony file a rising number of Web3 patents, Ubisoft partner with Oasys Network for Web3 game distribution, and Epic Games host more than 60 Web3 titles alone. Meanwhile, established Web3 games such as MapleStory U (400K+ users and 80%+ retention), Off the Grid (13M+ wallets and 400K-500K daily active users), and RavenQuest (gaining traction as a leading MMORPG) continue to build real engagement, proving the demand for immersive blockchain-enabled worlds isn’t going anywhere soon. PLAYA3ULL GAMES have also emerged as a trailblazer in the Web3 gaming world. They offer a robust ecosystem that combines cutting-edge technology with player empowerment. Be sure to check out our latest news. Even with the broader crypto market behaving as erratically as ever, funding continues to flow into Web3 gaming. You might ask why visionary developers can see beyond the short-term volatility and recognise rising demand and long-term potential. Web3 gaming isn’t just about a quick cash grab. It's about the fundamental transformation of how games are played, owned and experienced. A Community-Driven Revolution   It's becoming evident that the most powerful force in gaming isn’t technology but community. Despite the amazing graphics and powerful storylines, gamers want to connect, compete, create, and collaborate. Web3 gaming facilitates deeper player-driven ecosystems where guilds, DAOs, and open-world communities thrive because they are built on collective ownership and shared incentives. It is those who understand this paradigm shift that is leading the way as the next generation of gaming materialises into reality. The Future is Fearless   Web3 gaming isn’t dead. It's simply in a transformation, where the hype is fading and replaced with real products and better experiences. @RealJonahBlake and @0xferg argue that Web3 gaming is at a critical inflection point, requiring better business models and user experiences. Scepticism will always dampen the brightest of lights. Every major evolutionary shift is met with resistance before it becomes mainstream. Web3 isn’t an experiment. It's the inevitable next step for an industry that feeds on innovation. But there is no need to wait for permission. We continue to build, disrupt and empower. The future of gaming belongs to those who are brave enough to take risks and embrace change. Make sure you’re not left behind.   Until next time, gamers - GG Well Played!

NFT Gaming - the next evolution of video games

Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) have revolutionised the video game genre and NFT gaming merges traditional video game experiences with blockchain technology.

NFT gaming matters because it challenges the traditional boundaries of ownership in the digital space, introduces innovative economic systems, and fosters deeper player engagement by making virtual assets more meaningful and valuable.  PLAYA3ULL GAMES has compiled 5 great starter games to get into NFT gaming and web3 blockchain games.   How does NFT Gaming change the world?   NFT gaming is transforming the digital landscape by redefining how players get rewarded for playing video games.  The traditional gaming model involves players spending countless hours and, often, money, to end up with no assets that can be traded or staked.  For simply playing a game and having fun, NFT games provide a space where players can thrive both competitively and economically.  NFTs are gaining traction in the gaming world. Some NFTs offer purely cosmetic enhancements, adding visual flair without impacting gameplay. Other NFT assets can potentially influence battle outcomes. Traditional game studios, like Gunzilla Games, are increasingly exploring Web3 and NFT game models. Players are being rewarded for their time and engagement in these new gaming ecosystems.   What are 5 great NFT Games to start with?   With hundreds of NFT games to dig your nails into, it can be daunting to decide where to start.  Luckily, at PLAYA3ULL GAMES, we’ve compiled some of the most recent and popular games that will give you a taste of the next evolution in video gaming.   ORDINEM     Fresh off a global release, ORDINEM lets you command your combination of the five mythical factions developed by PLAYA3ULL GAMES.  Use your deck of cards to cast spells and summon followers.  It is a Trading Card Game (TCG) that features cards as NFTs and 3ULL coin integration.  ORDINEM is an easy game to set up and play and invites strategic gameplay with your unique deck of NFT cards.  The local in-game currency 3ULL Coin rewards players for participation, and many new updates are planned well into 2025 and beyond.   Axie Infinity   Axie Infinity, developed by Sky Mavis, is a blockchain-based game where players collect, breed, and battle digital pets called Axies.

Let’s explore three top blockchain gaming companies leveraging node technology today: Gala Games, PLAYA3ULL GAMES, and GameChain by Gamestarter.   PLAYA3ULL GAMES     PLAYA3ULL GAMES continue to make serious waves in the blockchain gaming space by integrating a robust node infrastructure that not only enhances decentralisation but increases platform security.   By becoming a PLAYA3ULL GAMES node owner, unique opportunities to earn substantial rewards while helping secure the network arise. With only 50,000 licenses in existence, PLAYA3ULL GAMES node ownership grants access to an exclusive and prestigious community of committed gamers.   As node owners, participants receive a share of the native 3ULL coin from the allocated daily distribution. In the first year of operation, 13,698,630 3ULL coins were distributed daily, with 50% going directly to node operators. Over the next ten years, five billion 3ULL coins will be distributed annually, and once the maximum supply is reached, node owners will continue to earn rewards through transaction gas fees.   Further benefits include an exclusive NFT for every game in the PLAYA3ULL ecosystem and access to an exclusive Discord channel for node owners. Node prices start at $100, increasing by $100 for every 100 nodes sold. Early adoption ensures greater rewards and a prime position in the network’s tiered pricing system. Securing a PLAYA3ULL GAMES node now means gaining a head start in accumulating 3ULL coins and the potential for maximum benefits.   GALA GAMES     Gala Games is one of the trailblazing blockchain game companies that empowers players with actual ownership of in-game assets. Gala Games are also giving players a say in the future of the network with the opportunity to own and operate their own Gala nodes.   Running a Gala node allows users to help secure the platform while earning rewards in GALA tokens and exclusive NFTs. Gala node holders also help support game transactions, governance, and overall network stability, ensuring a more decentralised and player-driven environment.   Node ownership offers holders numerous advantages. The ability to vote on key ecosystem decisions, receive early access to new game releases, and exclusive NFT drops are among some of the most popular. With a limited number of nodes available, their value has the potential to grow significantly over time. Gala nodes are set to become tradable NFTs, increasing their utility and market potential in the future.   For anyone interested in node ownership but hesitant about technical setup, third-party services like Gala-Node.com provide step-by-step guidance and operational support, making it easier for new users to get started. Whether through gaming, staking, or network participation, Gala Games continues to shape the future of decentralised gaming and offer lucrative opportunities for early adopters.   Gamechain by Gamestarter     GameChain by Gamestarter is yet another platform revolutionising the indie gaming landscape by allowing users to participate in network validation and earn rewards through Game Node Keys. With a total supply of 80,000 Game Keys, these nodes play a crucial role in securing transactions and maintaining the network, rewarding validators with $GAME tokens, NFTs, and in-game assets.   Node operators benefit from multi-token rewards, early access to IGOs, and product launches. A tiered pricing system governs the sale of Game Keys, incentivising early adoption. Additionally, GameChain employs a halving mechanic, where token rewards are higher in the earlier years and decrease over time to maintain long-term sustainability. In the first year, 125,000,000 $GAME tokens will be distributed, ensuring substantial incentives for initial node validators.   GameChain offers a lock-up multiplier system to enhance further staking rewards, where longer staking periods yield greater multipliers. For example, a 12-month stake provides a 2x multiplier, while a 24-month lock-up grants a 3x boost. Stakers accumulate points based on their stake and lock-up duration, determining their share of the daily rewards pool.   With over 930,000 users already engaged in the ecosystem, GameChain is positioning itself as a dominant force in blockchain gaming. By becoming a node holder, participants have access to unparalleled rewards while contributing to the growth of an expanding, decentralised and transparent gaming network.   Blockchain gaming is no longer a distant vision - it’s happening right now. The blockchain game companies leading the charge offer unprecedented opportunities for players and investors. Gala Games, PLAYA3ULL GAMES, and Gamestarter are building the foundations of a new gaming economy where the players' control, ownership, and rewards belong.   This is your chance to be more than just a gamer. Whether running a node, staking tokens, or earning NFTs, you contribute to a movement reshaping the gaming industry. Don’t just play the game - own it. The time to act is now! Will you take your place in the revolution?   Until next time, gamers - GG Well Played!

Pros and Cons of the Top Crypto Gaming Tokens In 2023

The gaming world has been levelling up in incredible ways, and in 2023, the fusion of gaming and cryptocurrencies took centre stage.    The impact of crypto gaming and their respective tokens has grown significantly, with several emerging cryptocurrencies vying for dominance in this dynamic and ever-evolving landscape.    Thanks to blockchain technology, gaming tokens now offer true ownership, unique features, and the potential for serious profits.   In this article, we will explore the advantages and disadvantages of gaming tokens and identify the leading gaming cryptocurrencies that have captured the attention of gamers.   Let’s begin!   What are Crypto Gaming Tokens?   Crypto gaming tokens allow players to earn unique digital assets on the blockchain. Unlike traditional games, these tokens offer true ownership and versatility. As decentralized assets, they foster a fair and transparent gaming environment, enabling direct interactions among players without intermediaries. It's a revolutionary concept redefining how we value and trade in-game achievements.   The more you play, the more you earn, so don't miss out on this chance to level up your gaming and your crypto portfolio simultaneously. Open the PLAYA3ULL App to start earning crypto while having a blast.     What is Blockchain Gaming?   Blockchain gaming combines blockchain technology with video games. In regular video games, everything is controlled by a central authority like the game developer or gaming platform. But in blockchain gaming, things change! The technology moves to a decentralized system called the blockchain, which is open and transparent for everyone. This shift allows players to have more control and ownership over their in-game items and transactions.    Embark on an immersive gaming experience that not only offers you endless fun but also rewards you with valuable cryptocurrencies as you progress. Open the PLAYA3ULL App to earn valuable cryptocurrencies as you play your favorite games.   Top Advantage of NFT Gaming Tokens   Here are the top benefits of token gaming:   True Ownership One of the most incredible things about NFT gaming tokens is that they grant you true ownership of in-game items - they're securely yours on the blockchain. Imagine having rare and unique virtual assets to keep and trade as you like.   Scarcity and Rarity NFTs introduce scarcity and rarity to the gaming experience. Certain items or characters can become limited editions, making them highly sought after by collectors and fellow gamers. Being one of the few to possess such a rare item adds a new level of pride and exclusivity.   Interoperability NFT gaming tokens can be used across multiple games and platforms that support them. This means your hard-earned virtual sword or pet can transcend boundaries, travelling with you from one game to another. It's like carrying a piece of your gaming legacy wherever you go!   Player-driven economy With NFTs, players can participate in a player-driven economy. You can freely buy, sell, and trade items with other players, setting your prices based on demand and rarity. This decentralized marketplace gives you more control over your gaming experience.   Transparency and Security Blockchain technology ensures transparency in the ownership and transaction history of NFTs. You can trust that your prized possessions are secure and verifiable, protected from hacks or fraudulent activities that could ruin the fun.   Supporting game developers NFTs enable direct support to game developers. When you buy in-game items as NFTs, developers can earn a share of the proceeds directly, encouraging them to create more engaging and immersive gaming experiences.   Inclusivity and a diverse gaming ecosystem NFT gaming tokens open up possibilities for smaller indie game developers to thrive. They can create and sell unique NFTs, fostering a diverse and inclusive gaming ecosystem with fresh and innovative ideas.   Play-to-earn opportunities Some blockchain games offer play-to-earn opportunities, allowing players to earn valuable NFTs simply by playing the game well. It's like turning your hobby into a rewarding venture.   Community engagement NFTs promote a vibrant community around gaming. Whether it's joining forces to defeat a powerful enemy or collaborating in the marketplace, NFTs bring players together, forging strong social bonds.   Memorable gaming experience Ultimately, NFT gaming tokens enhance the overall gaming experience. From the thrill of owning exclusive items to the joy of discovering hidden treasures, NFTs add depth and excitement, making gaming even more unforgettable.   Risk of Gaming Tokens While gaming tokens offer numerous advantages, they are not without their drawbacks. Here are some of the cons associated with gaming tokens:    Technical Barriers Using gaming tokens often requires an understanding of blockchain technology and how to manage digital wallets. For some gamers, especially those unfamiliar with cryptocurrencies, these technical aspects can be challenging to navigate.    Scams and Fraud The popularity of gaming tokens has attracted some bad actors who create fake or fraudulent tokens to deceive players and investors. Scams and phishing attempts can lead to financial losses and undermine trust in the gaming token space.    Lack of Regulation As a relatively new and evolving space, the gaming token market is not as regulated as traditional financial markets. This lack of oversight can expose participants to potential risks, such as market manipulation and fraud.    Network Scalability and Costs Depending on the underlying blockchain network, gaming tokens may face scalability issues, especially during periods of high demand. Additionally, transaction fees (gas fees) on certain blockchain networks can be high during busy times, making small transactions less feasible.    Environmental Concerns Many gaming tokens are built on blockchain networks that use a proof-of-work (PoW) consensus mechanism, which requires significant computational power and energy consumption. This has raised concerns about the environmental impact of blockchain gaming.    Gameplay Imbalance In some play-to-earn gaming models, players who can invest more time or money may gain an unfair advantage over others, creating gameplay imbalances that could detract from the overall gaming experience.    Dependency on Project Success The value and utility of gaming tokens often rely heavily on the success and adoption of the underlying gaming project. If a game fails to gain traction or maintain a player base, the value of its associated tokens may suffer.    Limited Integration While blockchain gaming is growing, not all mainstream gaming platforms have integrated gaming tokens and NFTs, limiting their accessibility and impact on a broader gaming audience.   How Can You Earn Money With NFT Games?   Here is how you can earn money by playing token games:   Play-to-Earn Rewards Many NFT games have a play-to-earn model, where players can earn valuable in-game assets, items, or currency by actively participating in the game. Completing quests and challenges or achieving certain milestones within the game can reward you with NFTs that have real-world value.     Start earning crypto rewards through our thrilling play-to-earn games. Join PLAYA3ULL GAMES to elevate your gaming sessions to a whole new level by joining our vibrant community of crypto gamers. Trading NFTs You can sell or trade NFTs on various NFT marketplaces as you accumulate NFTs within the game. Some in-game assets may appreciate in value over time due to their rarity or demand, allowing you to make a profit when you decide to sell them. Best Gaming Tokens in 2023   3ULL Coin (3ULL)     3ULL Coin is built on Avalanche Subnet technology, and is the core asset of the new PLAYA3ULL GAMES Marketplace. There will only ever be 50 billion 3ULL Coins. Coins are distributed daily through the PLAYA3ULL Games Master Nodes.   Enjin Coin (ENJ)     Enjin Coin is designed for the gaming industry and enables the creation of NFTs representing in-game assets, items, and collectibles. It aims to foster true ownership and interoperability across various games.   Decentraland (MANA)     Decentraland is a virtual reality platform where users can buy, sell, and build on virtual land parcels. MANA is the native cryptocurrency used for transactions and governance within the Decentraland ecosystem.   Axie Infinity (AXS)     Axie Infinity is a blockchain-based game where players collect, breed, and battle fantasy creatures known as Axies. AXS is the governance and utility token of the platform.   The Sandbox (SAND)     The Sandbox is a virtual world platform that allows users to create, own, and monetize gaming experiences and assets. SAND is the native utility token used for transactions and governance.   Immutable X (IMX)     Immutable X is a layer-2 scaling solution for Ethereum, specifically designed for NFTs and gaming. It aims to provide fast and gas-free transactions for gaming assets.   Render (RNDR)     Render (RNDR) is a gaming token with a unique purpose within the gaming industry. Instead of focusing on play-to-earn mechanics like some gaming tokens, RNDR aims to revolutionize the rendering of high-quality graphics and videos. Gamers and content creators can rent their idle GPU computing power to the Render network, earning RNDR tokens in return.   Gala (GALA)     Gala is a gaming token specifically crafted to establish a decentralized gaming ecosystem enriched with play-to-earn features. Within the Gala platform, players have the opportunity to accumulate GALA tokens through various activities such as engaging in games, contributing to the ecosystem's growth, or staking GALA to receive rewards. These earned tokens can subsequently be employed for in-game transactions or freely traded on various cryptocurrency exchanges.   Open the PLAYA3ULL crypto gaming app today to gain access to a wide range of games that promise not only entertainment but also tangible financial benefits.     Conclusion   To participate in this exciting world of crypto gaming tokens, individuals should stay informed, exercise caution, and conduct research before investing time and resources. While the potential for growth and financial gains exists, it's important to approach the gaming token market with a balanced understanding of both its advantages and risks.

From Patch Notes to Play: Navigating NEXUS' Latest Updates

The world of gaming continues evolving rapidly. Yet amidst the technological strides lies an often overlooked revolution – the ascendance of vibrant gaming communities as fundamental forces steering future growth. NEXUS, an innovative multiplayer game, has embraced this community-centric, collaborative spirit. Its latest major update cements its reputation as one of the most community-driven games, where each player's voice and contribution are valued and integral to our growth.   Fostering continuous dialogue, team members and players actively discuss updates, balancing and new features on Discord. This constant exchange of insights and ideas between the team and community is the lifeblood driving NEXUS' evolution.    Competitive Ranked Play Takes Centre Stage     With the long-awaited introduction of ranked matchmaking, NEXUS allows players to test their skills against equally capable opponents. Starting in Bronze, competitors can climb the ranks, with their matchmaking rating (MMR) rising steadily toward the coveted Master tier as their prowess grows. Alongside these rankings comes a rework of NEXUS' play-and-earn system, granting higher-ranked combatants up to 1.9x earnings multipliers. As ranked play matures, NEXUS seems poised to spearhead a thriving competitive scene, offering an exciting new challenge for the community.   Direct Community Impacts on Development   Unlike traditional game production, NEXUS incorporates community feedback deeply within its evolution.

The Pass can be purchased in the NFT Store on the dApp and is designed to deter botting and exploitation, ensuring legitimate competitive play is rewarded. Exemptions exist for Master Node holders and VI3 members who have already demonstrated commitment.    The Future Beckons Endless Potential    The developers' commitment to community-guided growth sets the stage for long-term success.

Crypto Gaming - ORDINEM Closed Beta Now Available

We’re over the moon to announce that our second game ORDINEM is now available to play in closed beta!  Find the access code by joining the discord.  ORDINEM lets you command your own combination of the five mythical factions, using your deck of cards to cast spells and summon followers.  It is a Trading Card Game (TCG) which features cards as Non-Fungible Tokens (NFT) and 3ULL coin integration.  The game is heavily inspired by Magic: The Gathering, Hearthstone and other similar online card games. We are going to unveil  how ORDINEM is pushing forward crypto gaming.  You can browse the ORDINEM Wiki page for a much more in depth look at the over 200 cards themselves, and the specific in game rules.. Let’s enter the frontier! GLHF.   Watch this video to get an exclusive look at ORDINEM.   The Basics of ORDINEM ORDINEM challenges players to strategically play cards in battle that give them the best opportunity to defeat the opposing player. All cards have archetypes, which determine how you use them on the battlefield. Followers, for example, are your troops, and have strength (attack) and resilience (hit point).  They also have a 'thread cost', determining how many threads you need to put onto the frontier. For a full breakdown of the rulebook, click here.  Below are card archetypes that can be found in ORDINEM. Follower Followers are ‘creatures’ or ‘minions’ that can be summoned.  Followers have Strength and Resilience. Strength is how much damage the follower deals when it attacks, and Resilience is how much it can take. If Resilience is ever 0, the Follower is destroyed.   Relic Relics are mechanical contraptions that serve various purposes. They stay on the Frontier and usually have passive or activated abilities.   Twine Twines are magical objects or enhancements made from woven threads of magic. They stay on the Frontier to give permanent or repeating effects.   Spell Magical spells that are played for a ‘one off’ dazzling effect. They don't stay in the Frontier.   Weave Weaves are your primary Thread sources. You put them into the Frontier by Enweaving at the start of your turn.   More information about the order of play can be found here. ORDINEM has many exciting blockchain integrations, including the cards themselves acting as NFTs.   Battle it out in ORDINEM.   ORDINEM cards are NFTs ORDINEM continues to push crypto gaming boundaries by creating digital playable cards as NFTs. Actual asset ownership gives players the confidence to see global market card activity on the blockchain and keep assets forever. Every pack and card purchased in ORDINEM can be listed and bought on the marketplace, which players can test now in closed beta! By making the process permissionless via smart contracts and instant transactions, players can set their desired price for a card, and buyers can purchase the NFT without a middleman involved.  ORDINEM solves one of the greatest pain points for players: they can now freely distribute their cards for their desired price. Online TCGs like Magic: The Gathering prevent players from selling and trading cards leaving them with cards they would never use.   Another game that has embraced TCG cards as NFTs is Splinterlands. It has opened up unique cases for players to earn yield by allowing them to rent out their cards for others to use. To upgrade Splinterland cards, the player must burn multiple copies of the same card, which creates scarcity by limiting the supply.  The game also includes an auto-battle system where the result is recorded on the blockchain.   ORDINEM, in contrast, encourages players to test their card battle and deck-builder skills in real-time turn-based combat.  Another way PLAYA3ULL GAMES pushes blockchain boundaries as a Web3 gaming studio is more use cases in ORDINEM for the 3ULL coin.   ORDINEM cards as NFTs are a total game changer.   The Bullish case for 3ULL coin and blockchain gaming   The blockchain utility continues for the 3ULL coin, which will be used to purchase ORDINEM card packs.  This continues the trend of 30 games in 10 years by PLAYA3ULL GAMES and using the 3ULL coin for all games released.  Using one coin simplifies the blockchain gaming experience for users as it does not require constant searching for new token contract addresses, which will save time.   Blockchain rewards for ORDINEM will also come in 3ULL coins, and players already love the earning aspect with our first game, NEXUS.  If players hunger for more 3ULL coins, they can be claimed daily by owning a PLAYA3ULL GAMES node.   New blockchain games are breaking boundaries by giving back to the players who graciously provide their time and feedback to help improve games.  The ORDINEM  Testnet NFT marketplace can be accessed here to see the future of player-owned economies. Feel free to explore and give feedback to the PLAYA3ULL GAMES team.   Buy ORDINEM packs with 3ULL coin.   We hope this gives you a quick rundown on ORDINEM's benefits and how it continues to push crypto gaming to uncharted territories. We’re incredibly excited to launch the open beta on the Epic Games Store, and the closed beta is ready for your competitive skills!  The closed beta can be accessed with a secret code available ONLY in the PLAYA3ULL GAMES discord.  Join here to get the exclusive ACCESS CODE. Until next time, gamers - GG Well Played!

History of Blockchain Gaming

Blockchain gaming is a groundbreaking innovation that merges the decentralised power of blockchain technology with the immersive worlds of video games. Emerging in the mid-2010s, blockchain games introduced new possibilities for player ownership, digital asset trading, and play-to-earn economies. Early experiments, like CryptoKitties, showcased the potential of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) to create unique, tradable in-game items. Over the years, blockchain gaming has evolved into a thriving ecosystem, blending decentralised finance, metaverse experiences, and cross-chain interoperability. While still in its infancy, blockchain gaming is reshaping how players engage with and benefit from video games in Web3. PLAYA3ULL GAMES has detailed the meteoric rise of blockchain gaming below!   Early blockchain gaming experiments (2013–2017)     The early days of blockchain gaming, from 2013 to 2016, were marked by experimentation and a focus on showcasing the potential of blockchain technology in gaming.  One of the first notable examples was Huntercoin (2014), a multiplayer online game that utilised the Bitcoin blockchain. Players collected in-game coins, which could be converted into cryptocurrency, by competing in a decentralised environment where every move was recorded on-chain. These early games were simple, often limited by the technology of the time, and primarily targeted blockchain enthusiasts.   Ethereum Smart Contracts and Cryptokitties (2015–2017)   The launch of Ethereum in 2015 revolutionised blockchain gaming by introducing smart contracts.  Smart contracts are self-executing programmes stored on the blockchain and can be compared to a binding physical contract that states when an agreement is reached, an action will follow. Ethereum enabled developers to create decentralised applications (dApps) with more complex functionalities. This innovation laid the foundation for blockchain-based games where in-game assets could be tokenised as NFTs (non-fungible tokens).  One of the most influential blockchain games leveraging NFTs was CryptoKitties, which was launched in 2017. The game allowed players to collect, breed, and trade virtual cats, representing each cat as a unique NFT on the Ethereum blockchain. CryptoKitties became a sensation and showcased the potential of blockchain to create digital economies. The surge in transactions from CryptoKitties caused severe network congestion, leading to slower transaction times and higher gas fees. This highlighted the limitations of early blockchain technology and sparked a push for solutions like layer-2 scaling and more efficient protocols to support the growing demand for blockchain gaming.   Rise of Play-to-Earn (2021–2022)   The play-to-earn (P2E) gaming model took centre stage between 2021 and 2022, transforming how players engaged with games by allowing them to earn cryptocurrency as a reward for playing the game. At the forefront of this movement was Axie Infinity, a blockchain game that lets players breed, battle, and trade virtual creatures called Axies, represented as NFTs. Players could control the Axie supply and sell their unique Axies in the marketplace for Ethereum. With the introduction of their Ethereum sidechain, Ronin, transaction fees were much lower and faster than Ethereum’s layer-1 blockchain.  Axie Infinity became particularly popular in countries like the Philippines, where the earnings often surpassed local wages.  The rise of P2E gaming also saw the emergence of game guilds like Yield Guild Games (YGG), which further expanded the ecosystem. These guilds acted as decentralised organisations that pooled resources to invest in in-game assets (via profit-sharing systems), leasing them to players who couldn’t afford the upfront costs. By creating these scholarships and profit-sharing systems, guilds enabled more players to join the P2E movement and kicked off a big year of Venture Capital funding into P2E. The P2E model eventually disbanded due to unsustainable economic structures prioritising speculation over gameplay. Once token values plummeted, player interest dwindled with them.   New blockchain games with fun at its core (2023 and beyond)   From 2023 onwards, blockchain gaming began prioritising fun and gameplay over purely financial incentives.  Web3 video games have been developing for over a year or two and aim to appeal to traditional gamers and blockchain enthusiasts. Games like NEXUS and ORDINEM use multiplayer as the core element and provide an incredible user experience.  P2E elements are still in effect to support those in developing countries, but the emphasis has shifted back to fun and immersive games.  This is the way video games were designed to be.  The future of blockchain gaming is bright by mixing the best elements of Web2 and Web3 video games.   What a blast from the past that was, right? We hope this blog helped you appreciate the journey of blockchain gaming and the improvements made over time for new blockchain games.  Until next time, gamers - GG Well Played!

Web3 Gaming: Best Blockchain Games To Explore in 2023

What are Web3 Games?   Web3 games, also called blockchain video games or decentralized games, are video games that leverage the blockchain era and the standards of Web3 to introduce new functions and capabilities no longer discovered in traditional centralized games.   These games are constructed on decentralized networks and utilize clever contracts and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) to symbolize in-game property and interactions.   Ready to embark on a gaming adventure that brings more than just entertainment?

The technological advancements like NVIDIA’s Generative AI system give endless possibilities for unique interactions between Non-Playable Characters (NPC) and gamers.  A new AI department will work alongside PLAYA3ULL’s game development team and create faster workflows, new revenue sources, and increased utility for the 3ULL coin.    Read below on how PLAYA3ULL GAMES is pioneering as the world's first blockchain game company at the intersection of Web3, gaming, and AI.   Who is PLAYA3ULL GAMES?     PLAYA3ULL GAMES is a video game company with a 3ullish goal of creating 30 games in 10 years. We build fun, immersive games that take popular genres and add blockchain rewards.  Our first game, NEXUS, was the number one game on the Epic Games Store at launch and recently celebrated its 1-year 3ULLiversary.  With four more games set to go public soon, PLAYA3ULL GAMES is leading the charge on how blockchain game companies must develop.   To date, here are some of our greatest achievements: Successful crypto fundraising. Ongoing 3ULL coin distribution and node sales. Distributing 5 billion 3ULL coins annually over 10 years. Established gaming platform. Creating the 3ULL blockchain on the Avalanche subnet. Growing a thriving gaming community with over 70K followers collectively.    Our goal: 30 high-quality PC games and 1 million players in our community. Continually creating utility for the 3ULL coin is a significant focus. This is why we’re excited to build a dedicated AI department to boost all aspects of our games and ecosystem.   Why create an AI division?   The move to integrate AI comes with several significant benefits. By leveraging AI-driven systems, PLAYA3ULL GAMES aims to reduce development cycles, improve speed by reducing repetitive tasks, and expand our production team’s capabilities. This will also allow the company to maximise its team's potential by focusing our efforts on higher-value tasks. This gives PLAYA3ULL GAMES a competitive edge in the gaming industry, enabling us to stay ahead of technological advancements.   The new AI department will hire one C++ programmer and one game art developer.  These hires will have proven skills and experience with released games and work with the game dev team.  They won’t be building games but working with two new AI scientists to research and develop AI tools that will be used to enhance the game development process. Once the game dev team identifies opportunities for integrating AI, they will hand it over to the AI research team to learn how to plug it into the games.  An example of this in development is an NPC merchant owner who can remember who you are and create new generative conversions in DOGS OF WAR. This ensures every gamer has their own unique experience.     The recent introduction of Procedural Content Generation in Unreal Engine (PCG) empowers technical artists, designers, and programmers to rapidly create buildings and gaming worlds. As a result, AI-driven systems are poised to become highly sought-after in the video gaming industry. This demand will open up PLAY3ULL’s next stream of revenue: offering our AI systems as Software as a Service (SaaS). Introducing the gaming world to our AI systems   The expansion into AI means we can monetise the system as a SaaS product to other gaming companies.  Utilising our AI intellectual property (IP) internally first, we will test and make sure they work in our games.  There will be real-world examples in our games for players and companies to see! The best part? Companies wanting to use our AI services can only utilise 3ULL Coin for their respective products.  This further boosts the coin's utility and adds a new income stream for PLAYA3ULL GAMES and the 3ULL coin community.  This initiative pushes us to become technology leaders with industry influence. Attracting businesses, developers, and gamers to our ecosystem.   The first cycle narrative for us was the merging of master node owners, 3ULL coin traders, and gamers.  With this new AI division, the focus will shift to the world’s first dedicated blockchain game company that combines game development, blockchain technology, and AI.  There’s no better time to get excited about what’s ahead for PLAYA3ULL GAMES.  Check out the roadmap below.   The big roadmap for 2025 and beyond     Q4 2024: Establish the AI research department. Q1 2025: Begin AI developments. Q3 2025: Launch AI-enhanced game features. Q4 2025: Package AI systems into SaaS products. Q2 2026: Launch the SaaS sales platform.   Watch the full announcement here.   With this new addition to the PLAYA3ULL Games ecosystem, our team and community will level up and enjoy more video games faster. Are you keen to get involved? We are always looking for the best talent to join PLAYA3ULL GAMES. Reach out here.   Until next time, gamers - GG Well Played! Want to experience the thrill of NEXUS with others and enjoy rewards for playing?  The third-person MOBA is free to play now on the Epic Games Store.  Download it here.

How NFT Games finally give back to gamers

Gamers, you deserve better.  For too long, your time in-game and your assets weren’t being rewarded.  With the introduction of blockchain/Web3 and NFT (Non-fungible tokens), a new level of ownership has been unlocked.  A new way to earn by playing a game and a new way to have power in fostering a gaming community.Let’s dissect exactly how NFT games give back to gamers.   Real rewards for your gaming hours   Imagine this: you’re playing a highly addictive game for multiple hours daily.  It’s fun and challenging, plus your friends are playing it.  But when you tally up those hours over weeks or years, what do you have to show for it? Most of the time, those countless hours and dollars are spent with little to no tangible benefit in return.  Read this cautionary gaming story for proof.  NFT games empower users to be rewarded for their time. These NFT games include the benefit of buying, selling, or trading the NFTs in an open marketplace where the reward can be a cryptocurrency.  With that cryptocurrency, you can sell it for real money, spend it within the ecosystem, or trade it for another currency.  Another way to earn crypto is to play the game itself.  Instead of a locked in-game currency like Fortnite’s ‘Vbucks’, you can earn a tradeable cryptocurrency like 3ULL coin by playing NEXUS.  Those countless gaming hours are no longer spent in vain because they now provide a source of income. This appeals to many gamers who wish their time could be more productive, offering a sense of purpose and reducing frustration in grind-heavy games.   Actual ownership that matters   For many decades, big video game companies like Blizzard had a stranglehold on player’s ownership.  They could ban you for various reasons, and that ban meant your in-game assets would now be frozen indefinitely.  Sometimes, this resulted in lost time; other times, it meant losing the money spent purchasing those digital items. Losing years of progress due to a ban or a game shutting down can be incredibly disheartening. Having the option to transfer your characters, skins, items, or assets outside the game is essential.  That’s where NFT solves that issue.  If unforeseen circumstances force a player to abandon a video game voluntarily, those in-game assets can be traded, so it’s not a complete loss for the player.  A new way of ownership outside NFTs is owning a game/company node. PLAYA3ULL GAMES has decided to distribute nodes so users can claim daily 3ULL coins and help run the network.  This becomes another option for gamers who want to be in an ecosystem but may not have many hours to play.  The nodes can be fractional, so you can pool with other users and share a node.  This allows players to retain value even after they stop playing or take a break.   Building a community-driven experience for players   One of the most unique opportunities new blockchain games offer players is a verified way of deciding the direction of games. A DAO is a Decentralised Autonomous Organisation in which only holders of a specific token can vote.  But how do they verify holders?  Using the blockchain and a digital wallet, the DAO scans the wallet for the specific NFT or token.  This also ensures the decision-makers are invested in the game and have its best interests at heart.  DAOs can be responsible for how a game’s treasury is distributed, which proposals get accepted or rejected, and even earning a tax on specific actions in-game.  As a result, decisions are no longer solely made by the CEOs; the community also gets their say.  Splinterlands is a trading card game that has a strong community focus, where token holders play an active role in shaping future content and making adjustments through community proposals.   This transparency in governance also encourages more collaboration between developers and gamers.  In NFT gaming, players also become investors, aligning their interests with the game’s success. This helps ensure that decisions support the game's longevity rather than selfish actions, such as draining the game’s treasury. With the handy edition of Discord, players are equipped with the tools to shape the game they love and can reward community members and leaders with incentives.  Recently, we launched the ‘Big3ULL chat’, a dedicated space for investors to connect directly with the PLAYA3ULL GAMES team. NFT games break the barriers of traditional games and let players get insights much earlier than everyone else.  Creating a much-needed thriving community experience.   We hope this blog highlighted the benefits of NFT gaming and ushering in a new frontier for video games to explore.  Actual ownership of in-game assets and being rewarded for your hard-earned hours of gameplay are things all games should have.

Best P2E NFT Games to Earn High Rewards

Best P2E NFT Games List  Play-to-Earn NFT games have emerged as a captivating intersection of gaming and crypto.    These games leverage non-fungible tokens (NFTs) to empower players with true ownership of in-game assets, providing an avenue for earning tangible rewards.   We've made a list of really awesome Play-to-Earn NFT games for you. In these games, you get to explore virtual worlds, and the best part is that playing isn't just about having fun – you can score some cool rewards while you're at it!   The Rise of the P2E Gaming Model   The emergence of Play-to-Earn (P2E) games marks a significant shift in how people engage with video games.    These games use something called blockchain technology and special tokens called NFTs. This lets players really own stuff in the game, like characters or items, which is different from regular games where you don't fully own what you get.    It's like a cool upgrade, breaking away from the usual limited ownership in traditional games.   Central to the P2E gaming model is the implementation of blockchain technology and Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs).    Blockchain ensures transparency, security, and immutability, creating a decentralized and trustless gaming ecosystem.    NFTs, on the other hand, serve as digital certificates of ownership, guaranteeing the uniqueness and authenticity of in-game assets. This innovation allows players to truly own and trade their virtual possessions.   What Are P2E NFT Games?   Play-to-Earn (P2E) NFT games function as video games where players can earn rewards through gameplay.    These games allow players to possess special items like characters or in-game assets, and the ownership of these items is authenticated through NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens). NFTs ensure the uniqueness and legitimacy of the player's ownership.    P2E games offer a unique blend of recreational gaming and the opportunity to accumulate valuable assets simultaneously.   How Do P2E Games Work?   Here's a simplified breakdown of how P2E games typically work:    Blockchain Foundation: P2E games are built on blockchain networks like Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, Polygon, or others. Blockchain provides a decentralized and secure environment, ensuring transparency, immutability, and ownership of in-game assets.  Smart Contracts: Smart contracts are self-executing contracts with the terms of the agreement directly written into code. In P2E games, smart contracts manage various in-game processes, such as asset ownership, transactions, and rewards distribution.  NFTs and Ownership: In-game assets, such as characters, items, or land, are represented as NFTs. Each NFT is unique and can be owned by individual players. The ownership and transaction history of these assets are recorded on the blockchain. Initial Asset Sales: Developers often initiate the game by selling NFTs through initial coin offerings (ICOs), initial NFT sales, or other means. Players purchase these assets using cryptocurrency, establishing the foundation of the in-game economy.  Earn-as-You-Play System: Players have the opportunity to receive rewards by engaging in different in-game tasks, including finishing quests, reaching goals, or contributing to the game's community. These rewards are commonly given in the form of cryptocurrency or extra NFTs. Decentralized Marketplaces: P2E games typically feature decentralized marketplaces where players can buy, sell, and trade their in-game assets with others. Smart contracts within the marketplace automate transactions and ensure secure asset transfers.  Royalties and Secondary Market: When players sell their in-game assets in the secondary market, developers can include royalty mechanisms through smart contracts. This means developers receive a percentage of the sale value whenever an asset changes hands in subsequent transactions.  Governance and Community Engagement: Some P2E games incorporate governance tokens that allow players to participate in decision-making processes regarding the game's development. Community engagement is often encouraged, creating a sense of ownership and shared responsibility.    Top 5 Play-To-Earn NFT Games List - Our Best Picks   Here are our top 5 picks for the best P2E NFT games.    P2E NFT Game Title Game Genre Publisher Blockchain Platform Token Nexus Action PLAYA3ULL GAMES Avalanche Windows/PC 3ULL Coin War of Steel Battle PLAYA3ULL GAMES Avalanche Windows/PC 3ULL Coin Dogs of War Sci-Fi PLAYA3ULL GAMES Avalanche Windows/PC 3ULL Coin Starvin Martian Action PLAYA3ULL GAMES Avalanche Windows/PC 3ULL Coin Ordinem Card Game PLAYA3ULL GAMES Avalanche Windows/PC 3ULL Coin   Other Popular P2E NFT Games List   Game Title Genre Publisher Token Used Blockchain Axie Infinity RPG/Strategy Sky Mavis AXS, SLP Ethereum Decentraland Virtual World Decentraland MANA Ethereum CryptoKitties Collectibles Dapper Labs CK Ethereum Sorare Fantasy Football Sorare SO5 Ethereum The Sandbox Virtual World The Sandbox SAND Ethereum Alien Worlds Mining/Strategy Alien Worlds TLM WAX (EOSIO) Lost Relics Action RPG Lost Relics RELIC Enjin MyCryptoHeroes RPG Double Jump.Tokyo MCH Ethereum Ember Sword MMORPG Brightstar Studios EMR-SFT Matic (Polygon) League of Kingdoms Strategy League of Kingdoms KING Ethereum Splinterlands Card Game Splinterlands DEC, SPS Hive Gala Games Various Gala Games GALA, TOWN, MIRANDA Ethereum Blankos Block Party MMO Party Game Mythical Games BLANKOS Ethereum Rarible NFT Marketplace Rarible RARI Ethereum ChainGuardians RPG ChainGuardians CGG Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain Nine Chronicles RPG Planetarium NCG ICON Miranda’s Genesis MMORPG Gala Games MIR Ethereum Neon District RPG/Strategy Blockade Games NFTX Ethereum Mist Adventure/RPG Dimension MIST Polygon Cryptovoxels Virtual World Cryptovoxels ETH Ethereum Dark Country Card Game Dark Country NFT WAX (EOSIO) 0xUniverse Strategy 0xGames 0XC Ethereum Brave Frontier Heroes RPG/Strategy Double Jump.Tokyo BXB, BNB Binance Smart Chain CryptantCrab Strategy Appxplore CRAB Ethereum MegaCryptoPolis Strategy MegaCryptopolis MEGA Ethereum Crypto Space Command Strategy 0xGames CSC Ethereum Blockchain Cuties Adventure Blockchain Cuties CUTIE Ethereum Aavegotchi Virtual Pets Aavegotchi GHST Polygon Battle Racers Racing Altitude Games RACER Ethereum Blocklords Strategy NEOWIZ AXIE NEO Blockchain Dissolution FPS/Strategy Dissolution DAI, USDC Ethereum Gods Unchained Card Game Immutable GU Immutable X CryptoAssault Strategy Crypto Assault ENJ Enjin Revomon AR Adventure Revomon REV Ethereum Upland Virtual Real Estate Upland UPX EOSIO Light Trail Rush Racing B2Expand LIGHTRUSH Binance Smart Chain MegaCryptoPolis Wars Strategy MegaCryptopolis MEGA Ethereum Cryptopolis Strategy Good Games Guild CPC Ethereum Nifty Football Fantasy Football Nifty Labs NFTY Ethereum Axie Infinity: Origin RPG/Strategy Sky Mavis AXS, SLP Ronin Vulcan Verse Virtual World Vulcan Forged PYR Polygon Etheremon Adventure/RPG Etheremon EMON Ethereum Cryptoskull Strategy Quazard Labs SKULL Binance Smart Chain DreamTeam Sports Management DreamTeam DREAM Ethereum   How Can You Earn Rewards By Playing The Top P2E NFT Crypto Games?   Players in NFT games have the opportunity to make money through the play-to-earn model, which fundamentally alters the traditional gaming landscape. By engaging in various in-game activities, players can earn real-world value in the form of cryptocurrency or other digital assets.    The key avenues for players to generate income include participating in initial game sales where they acquire valuable NFTs, such as characters or land.    These assets can be traded within decentralized marketplaces, and players can earn money through secondary sales by receiving royalties on transactions.    Additionally, as players actively contribute to the game's ecosystem, they may benefit from in-game rewards, cryptocurrencies, or tokens, fostering a dynamic player-driven economy.    The value of rare or sought-after in-game assets also provides players with the opportunity to profit by strategically buying, selling, or holding these assets as their values fluctuate in the market.    Overall, the play-to-earn model transforms gaming into a potentially lucrative venture for players, rewarding them for their time, skill, and strategic decisions within the virtual world.   Conclusion   There are lots of exciting opportunities in the world of Play-to-Earn NFT games. The games we talked about aren't just fun to play, they also give you a chance to earn some big rewards.    Whether you're a gamer looking for a new adventure or someone wanting to grab opportunities, these games are the way to go for a mix of gaming and making cool rewards.Want to experience the thrill of NEXUS?  The third-person MOBA is free to play now on the Epic Games Store.  Download it here.

ORDINEM - Official Game Release on Epic Games Store

The PLAYA3ULL GAMES team is excited to announce that the official open beta release of our second game, ORDINEM, is now available on the Epic Games store.   ORDINEM lets you command your own combination of the five mythical factions, using your deck of cards to cast spells and summon followers.  It is a Trading Card Game (TCG) which features cards as Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) and 3ULL coin integration.  The game is heavily inspired by Magic: The Gathering, Hearthstone and other similar online card games.   Below, you’ll find a starter’s guide to ORDINEM.  Let’s go! Get the crash course on ORDINEM right here!   What are the basic game rules?   ORDINEM challenges players to strategically play cards in battle, giving them the best opportunity to defeat the opposing player. All cards have archetypes, which determine how you use them on the battlefield. Followers, for example, are your troops with strength (attack) and resilience (hit point).  They also have a 'thread cost', determining how many threads you need to put onto the frontier. For a full breakdown of the rulebook, click here.  Below are card archetypes that can be found in ORDINEM. Follower Followers are ‘creatures’ or ‘minions’ that can be summoned.  Followers have Strength and Resilience. Strength is how much damage the follower deals when it attacks, and Resilience is how much it can take. If Resilience is ever 0, the Follower is destroyed.   Relic Relics are mechanical contraptions that serve various purposes. They stay on the Frontier and usually have passive or activated abilities.   Twine Twines are magical objects or enhancements made from woven threads of magic. They stay on the Frontier to give permanent or repeating effects.   Spell Magical spells are played for a ‘one-off’ dazzling effect. They don't stay in the Frontier.   Weave Weaves are your primary Thread sources. You put them into the Frontier by Enweaving at the start of your turn.   More information about the order of play can be found here. ORDINEM has many exciting blockchain integrations, including the cards themselves acting as NFTs.   What Web3 elements make ORDINEM unique?   NFT games like ORDINEM boast many advantages over traditional video games.  For instance, cards and packs in ORDINEM are NFTs that cement the idea of true player ownership. These NFTs give players the freedom to hold and trade their cards on the open marketplace using PLAYA3ULL GAMES’ in-game cryptocurrency 3ULL coin.  Being NFTs also enables players to track the pack's history from when it was created to any other trading activity the NFT may have gone through before its current listing.   ORDINEM card packs can only be purchased with 3ULL coin, thus increasing the coin's utility and staying true to PLAYA3ULL GAMES’ commitment of 30 games in 10 years using the 3ULL coin as the native in-game currency.   Another exciting blockchain element is the Play-to-Earn aspect of ORDINEM.  Compete against other players in intense PvP Matches (Casual and Ranked Mode) and be rewarded! Each victory gives you a chance to be rewarded with an ORDINEM ORIGINS Card Pack. Players can earn multiple weekly ORIGIN Card Packs for competing in PvP matches.   Note: After each consecutive Card Pack is earned, the drop rate of card packs is reduced slightly! This resets weekly.   How to install ORDINEM?   Start fresh with a new dazzling TCG that promotes true player ownership and methodical, strategic competitive play. Download ORDINEM now and get deck-building to seize victory over your opponents!   Open the Epic Games Store application on your PC or visit the Epic Games Store website. Search 'ORDINEM' and select 'GET.' Click Accept. Go to your library and install the game!   How do you connect your wallet? Within ORDINEM, select the ‘STORE’ tab. Approve the sign-in request The wallet is now connected. For a full breakdown of the process, click here.   Purchasing the ORDINEM Play-to-Earn Pass   Head to here. Login/Connect Wallet.

With so many new blockchain game companies formulating over the years, finding good, reliable companies to trust can be daunting. With the inception of blockchain technology and Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), video games now have a way to verify ownership and give power back to the players.  But what are some great companies to begin your Web3 gaming adventure with?   Below is a list of 8 blockchain game companies leading the charge.   PLAYA3ULL GAMES   PLAYA3ULL GAMES is a blockchain game company that is making waves by planning to release 30 games in 10 years.  They already have two games out on the Epic Games Store, including NEXUS and ORDINEM, and they are simultaneously working on more innovative games.  PLAYA3ULL GAMES is unique because they have their own subnet on Avalanche, and all games integrate their native in-game currency 3ULL Coin.  Creating exciting multiplayer games of popular genres, PLAYA3ULL GAMES are constantly pushing the boundaries and even have a new AI division that will speed up game production and give players unique interactions in-game.  Check them out if you haven’t already. Notable Games - NEXUS, ORDINEM, DOGS OF WAR, STARVIN MARTIAN, and WAR OF STEEL. Gunzilla Games   Gunzilla Games has dived into 2024 with an absolute bang.  Their early access game Off the Grid has captured the attention of everyday gamers with the inclusion of popular Twitch streamers and a combination of proven game genres.  The addition of NFTs has yet to be implemented in the game, which may deter traditional Web2 gamers from continuing. Still, Gunzilla Games has again shown the power of good blockchain game companies. Notable Games - Off the Grid and TECHNOCORE.     Illuvium   Illuvium is the first blockchain game with a AAA video game budget. The community helps guide the direction of Illuvium, bolstering a thriving ecosystem with internal councils and decision-makers. The three games under the Illuvium umbrella help capture different audiences and game styles while providing in-game assets that convert to the next game. With Illuvium: Arena already on the Epic Games Store, they are primed to make a big splash in the coming years. Notable Games - Illuvium: Arena, Illuvium: Overworld, and Illuvium: Zero.     Sky Mavis   Sky Mavis, the studio behind the original Play-to-earn game Axie Infinity, has built itself into a self-sustainable ecosystem of dedicated Web3 gamers.  Creating the popular Ethereum sidechain Ronin that hosts many up-and-coming Web3 games and Axie Infinity’s suite of branded games.  They were a big deal in the 2021 Web3 gaming run and continue to show dedication in listening to their ever-growing community about the types of games their community wants. Notable Games - Axie Infinity: Origins, Axie Infinity: Homeland, Axie Infinity: Raylights, and Axie Classic.     Dapper Labs   Dapper Labs is one of the most iconic blockchain companies to blast into the Web2/Web3 world.  They are the original NFT game creators that broke the internet with Cryptokitties and supercharged mainstream NFT adoption with NBA Topshots.  They continue to wow audiences with their huge collaborations with big brands like NBA, NFL, La Liga, and Disney.  Notable Games - NBA Top Shots, NFL All Day, Disney Pinnacle, and Cryptokitties.     Animoca Brands Animoca Brands is one of the premier NFT gaming investment companies that also produces their own blockchain games.

Notable Games - The Sandbox, Mocaverse, Revv Racing, Phantom Galaxies, and Benji Bananas.     LiquidX Studios     LiquidX Studios is a relatively new blockchain company that has taken responsibility for a fallen NFT project called Pixelmon. LiquidX Studios bought Pixelmon (the most overhyped NFT project) and is steering the game in its intended direction. More impressively, they are creating multiple mini-games under the Pixelmon IP, attracting the casual gamer audience.   Diversifying out, LiquidX Studios also has an anime scheduled in 2025 under the name Stealth.  This is one company not to be overlooked. Notable Games - Pixelmon, Wardens Ascent, Warriors of Novathera, Kevin the Adventurer, and Pixel Pals.     Immutable Games   Immutable Games should need no introduction. They are one of the biggest blockchain gaming companies in Web3 and have their own Ethereum layer-2 blockchain dedicated to fostering Web3 gaming adoption. Their two mainline games are Gods Unchained and Guild of Guardians, and both are making strides in the Web3 world. Immutable also hosts over 200+ games on its blockchain and is a great destination for gamers at every level. Notable Games - Gods Unchained and Guild of Guardians.     With so many exciting new blockchain companies on the rise, it’s no wonder the web3 gaming world is primed for worldwide adoption.  We’ll see you next week for another deep dive into the incredible world of video games and blockchain gaming.   Until next time, gamers - GG Well Played!

Blockchain Gaming in 2024 and Beyond

Blockchain gaming has been on a rollercoaster of a ride since its inception.  From ‘play-to-earn’ to ‘tap-to-earn,’ and now the general term of blockchain games.  The new wave of Web3 games is taking Web2 fundamentals and years of hard work to create the best gaming experience for users that also reward their time spent. This shift redefines gaming by blending high-quality visuals built in Unreal Engine 5 with blockchain technology offering true asset ownership for users. Below, details the seismic shift in blockchain games. GLHF! Telegram’s tap-to-earn rise in popularity  Users may have heard of the latest craze ‘tap-to-earn’ which has gained popularity in the blockchain gaming space due to Telegram allowing games natively in their app.  With over 950 million users, one of Telegram’s most prolific games ‘Hamster Kombat’ soared to over 300 million users.  Additionally newcomer ‘Catizen’  has accumulated over 27 million daily active users.  A flurry of new mobile-friendly games have now crash landed into Telegram, but why?   ‘Tap-to-earn’ offers a simple and accessible way for users to engage with blockchain applications and earn tokens with minimal effort. It incentivises participation and interaction through easy tasks and constant activity, making it appealing to crypto enthusiasts and newcomers. Unlike other games, all gamers need is the Telegram app and a phone with an internet connection to play.   With ‘tap-to-earn’ essentially replacing the ‘play-to-earn’ model, many users still believe the gameplay mechanics aren’t strong enough for long term sustainable growth for these games. With all hyped up blockchain game narratives, users must take caution to zoom out and assess the longevity of projects.  Games that have proven fundamental gaming models should be prioritised. Hamster Kombat ignited the popularity of tap-to-earn games.   Bringing Web2 fundamentals into blockchain gaming   Blockchain gaming integrates fundamentals taken from Web2 into a new digital landscape. These include fun multiplayer aspects, free-to-play, and higher-quality games to match the current state of video games. The Epic Games Store has embraced blockchain gaming by showcasing these new innovations. Unlike previous generations of blockchain gaming that focused on simple browser-clicking games, new blockchain games are built in Unreal Engine 5 and prioritise enjoyment over rewards.   A key aspect of blockchain gaming is the shift from traditional play-to-earn models to more dynamic systems. While Fortnite and Roblox have popularised cosmetic skins and in-game purchases, blockchain technology takes this a step further. Blockchain technology has introduced actual ownership of digital assets through Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) and the potential for players to earn from their gameplay via tokens.   Blockchain companies like PLAYA3ULL GAMES will release 30 games in 10 years that all utilise the 3ULL coin. As blockchain gaming evolves, it will blend the best of Web2 practices with advanced blockchain technology to create immersive and rewarding experiences gamers have yearned for.   Unreal Engine 5 graphics are being prioritised in blockchain gaming.   Best blockchain games to play in 2024   Blockchain gaming is booming in 2024. While new titles emerge constantly, these addictive games are ready to devour your free time. NEXUS - is a competitive third-person Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) shooter that soared to the #1 trending game on the Epic Games Store in its first week of release.    Illuvium - is a series of games in which players explore a vast world to capture and battle creatures called Illuvials.   Axie Infinity - is a pet breeding and battling game where creatures called Axies inhabit the world.   Shrapnel - is a competitive shooter, launching on PC with early access in 2024.   Wilder World - is a vast multiplayer metaverse that utilises cutting-edge advancements in photorealism, artificial intelligence, and blockchain technology.   Parallel - is a sci-fi-based competitive card game where players build decks and face off in epic battles.   ORDINEM - lets you command one of five mythical factions, using your deck of cards to cast spells and summon creatures. Open Beta release is scheduled for Q4 2024.   ORDINEM is set to release in Q4 2024.   PLAYA3ULL GAMES hope this article gives you a VIP pass into the current state of blockchain gaming and beyond. Video games that have been in the space for multiple years with proven teams and experience are readying up to give gamers the best gameplay with rewards. Until next time, gamers - GG Well Played!

PLAYA3ULL GAMES Partners with Evertreen to Plant Over 6,500 Trees for Earth Day

This Earth Day marks 54 years since the inaugural event in 1970 catalysed the modern environmental movement. Aligning with this urgent cause, PLAYA3ULL GAMES is thrilled to announce a strategic partnership with Evertreen, the renowned global reforestation platform. This partnership entails a joint commitment to fund and support reforestation projects, leveraging our respective strengths and resources to make a significant impact.   To offset the energy used to power blockchain technology, PLAYA3ULL GAMES has sponsored planting 6,526 trees in areas threatened by deforestation across five countries. An additional number of trees will soon follow to match the number of PLAYA3ULL GAMES Nodes recently sold. PLAYA3ULL GAMES' reforestation efforts will remove 2,017 tons of atmosphere-warming carbon dioxide.   Evertreen is an impact-driven startup on a mission to recover lost forests at scale using technology and incentive systems structured around the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Their innovative app, which uses satellite imagery tracking, allows individuals and businesses to fund the planting of real trees. The app provides updates on the growth and health of the trees, giving funders a tangible way to see the impact of their contributions.   Since 2020, Evertreen has coordinated the planting of over 1.17 million trees across 14 countries, including the Philippines, India, Madagascar, Kenya, Ethiopia, Mozambique, the United States and more. Their reforestation projects restore native species in areas threatened by deforestation and land degradation. Beyond absorbing over 220,000 tons of carbon dioxide, these vital projects have also generated over 146,000 working hours to alleviate poverty by providing employment opportunities for local farmers who gain purpose in planting and caring for the restored forests. Moreover, reforestation supports biodiversity by creating habitats for various species, and it helps regulate water cycles, prevent soil erosion and improve air quality.   Evertreen's innovative approach empowers partners like PLAYA3ULL GAMES and you to take tangible climate action. Together, we can make forests flourish for future generations. Evertreen's network of certified local farmers, chosen for their expertise in selecting native species matched to regional soils and climates, is a testament to the power of collective action.   With esteemed partners like Evertreen, who share our vision of sustainability, PLAYA3ULL GAMES is poised to implement scalable solutions that benefit both our business and the planet. Reforestation, a crucial element in any strategy to draw down atmospheric carbon and restore precious forests, is at the heart of our Earth Day celebration. We are proud to announce that we are funding over 6,500 trees, a significant step towards a greener future.   Together our companies share an unwavering commitment to environmental sustainability and finding innovative ways to combat pressing issues like deforestation, biodiversity decline and carbon emissions.   The trees planted this Earth Day are only the beginning. As PLAYA3ULL GAMES continues expanding, we plan to integrate additional eco-friendly practices across our operations. These initiatives include matching all future node sales with reforested trees and other policies. From this day forward, a tree will be planted for every PLAYA3ULL GAMES Node purchased.   This Earth Day collaboration highlights PLAYA3ULL GAMES' dedication to minimising the environmental impact of blockchain technology. By joining forces with sustainability leaders like Evertreen, we aim to set the standard for ecological responsibility in blockchain gaming.   While PLAYA3ULL GAMES pushes gaming innovation further, we remain committed to ensuring environmental sustainability remains a core value. This Earth Day initiative represents the first step in an ambitious, long-term journey towards carbon neutrality. We are committed to making a significant and lasting impact on the environment.    You can follow the PLAYA3ULL GAMES' contribution to making our planet greener here: https://evertreen.com/company/playa3ullgames/Want to experience the thrill of NEXUS?  The third-person MOBA is free to play now on the Epic Games Store.  Download it here.

NEXUS drops a game-changing update to the crypto gaming ecosystem

Since NEXUS debuted as the #1 trending game in its opening week on the Epic Games Store, the player base and improvements have skyrocketed.  The big 1.6 Patch brings in many gameplay improvements and quality of life (QOL) upgrades that the community have been begging for.     PLAYA3ULL GAMES is committed to giving its players the most fun and engaging crypto gaming experience, and with these new upgrades, the community is already buzzing!   Let’s dive in.   What is NEXUS?   In 2046, the discovery of Flow and Flux, capable of healing and reshaping matter, led to the creation of artificial NEXUSES. The NEXUSES unleash catastrophic mutations and spark the NEXUS Wars.  In this war-torn world, you must navigate the chaos, wielding these volatile powers to fuel the conflict or restore balance.  Victory is your only hope.    NEXUS is a third-person Free-to-Play (F2P) Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) shooter video game inspired by multiplayer tyrants: League of Legends, Dota 2, and Overwatch 2.  Defend your NEXUS at all costs, push towers, and ruthlessly destroy your enemies in this fast-paced 5-player vs 5-player (5v5) MOBA action built within Unreal Engine.   Ready to jump into the brand-spanking new updates?   Gameplay     In-game levels and new upgrades   Defeating enemies, minions, and neutrals now grants experience points. When passing set thresholds, you will level up to Level 13. Levelling up grants additional maximum health, mana and a slight boost to material and quantum damage. Players gain an ability point when they level up. Abilities are no longer purchased from the shop. Instead, you can open the ability store at any time and purchase or upgrade them with an ability point. Abilities can no longer be sold. Basic abilities now have five levels, and ultimate abilities have three levels. Ultimate abilities purchase and upgrade are only available at player levels 5, 9, and 13. Shortcut: to upgrade an ability without opening the store, press Left-ALT + Ability Key (Q, E, or T). Updated bounty system to also track death streaks, reducing the amount a player awards on death the more they die. Introduced wards that grant vision for a set duration around them on the mini-map. Each player can place one ward with a cooldown after placement. Placing another ward before the last one has expired destroys the older ward.

This area applies an additional stack of "Ablaze" to all enemies each second and doubles its size over its duration.

Hoarfrost (Ultimate): Hurl an ice ball projectile that travels 15 meters before detonating or upon impact with any object. The blast unleashes quantum damage across a 9-meter radius, rooting enemies in place and layering on stacks of Frostbite. Deploy Lurker (Ultimate): Deploys a stealthy mine that burrows into the ground, cloaking itself near-invisible and immune to the area of effect damage. Triggers an explosion that deals quantum damage instantly within a 10m radius, plus additional quantum damage over 5 seconds. Affected enemies are also slowed by 20% for the duration. Short Circuit (Ultimate): Shock all enemies within a 10-meter radius, inflicting quantum damage while stunning them. For each enemy player hit, the user receives boosts of 5% fire rate, 5% movement speed, 4 HP regeneration, and 2 energy regeneration. Hitting enemy players also results in a 10% reduction in the user's cooldowns, including Short Circuit. Lifebinders Respite (Ultimate): Generate an immediate aura of healing energy, instantly restoring 20 HP to the caster and all allies within a 9-meter radius. Further, maintain a sustained healing aura lasting for 7 seconds, providing HP regeneration per second to all allies in the area.

Turret: Renamed to Deploy Guardian and has a new visual redesign. Now, it has a short build time. No longer inherits player stats and instead gains stats per player level. Inflicts quantum damage instead. Now, it has two charges and can have two placed at once. Healing Sphere: Renamed to Flowburst. Creates an expanding sphere of energy that heals allies and harms enemies. Reduced healing to self and reduced damage to minions. Rally Allies: Renamed to Inspire. Grants increased damage dealt, reduced damage taken and life steal on abilities to you and allies near you for the duration. Allies receive a stronger buff and stacks at 50% effectiveness. Rocket Strike: Renamed to Flux Barrage. Now, it deals damage to all enemies in the target area on each strike. Haste Support: Renamed to Tailwind. Now, it grants movement speed and increased fire rate to nearby allies for a duration when cast (not an aura). Nuke (ultimate): Renamed to Skyfall and reworked visual effects.

The main menu now has a ‘Live’ background Tweaked damage number colours for readability Added tooltips for weapons, items, and abilities Shop Moved Abilities to its own window, which can be opened any time Moved Scavenger (previously Valor Mark) to its own tab in the store   HUD Reworked HUD to make elements clearer Added a Display for Buffs and Debuffs currently on you Health and levels of teammates are now shown on the HUD   Quality of Life Improvements   There have been various overall improvements to the Web3 gaming experience for all players.   These include: Improved ability range visualisation to be more accurate and use consistent colours for friendly (blue) vs enemy (red) effects. Introduced a ping wheel to communicate with allies more easily in-game. Death camera now spectates allies rather than staying on the player's corpse. Rebuilt all abilities to be data-driven and rebalanced accordingly. Rebuilt minimap to be easier to maintain and update. Player stats (kills, assists, deaths, etc.) are restored on rejoin so that no stats are lost between updates to the web backend. The chat window will automatically hide if there are no new messages for 30 seconds. Leaving a ranked match before it starts will now shut down the server if players are not found within the next 60 seconds. Voice chat has been streamlined. Party voice chat now only applies to the lobby, and team voice chat only applies to matches.   Matchmaking Rating Update (MMR)   MMR gains and reductions during 10 calibration games are adjusted below: Bronze = +300 win or -75 loss Silver = +140 win or -75 loss Gold = +100 win or -75 loss   Following your completion of your 10/10 calibration games, the MMR gains + losses will return to: Bronze = +75 win or -25 loss Silver = +35 win or -25 loss Gold = +25 win or -25 loss Diamond = +13 win or -25 loss Master = +7 win or -25 loss   This was a monumental update for NEXUS and crypto gaming, and the reception has already been positive.  Be sure to join our vibrant Discord to find all the information you need about NEXUS and tips and tricks.
