🪐 Why Web3 and Application 🛸

Games and applications have been on fire in recent years. One of the main drivers is the increasing popularity of blockchain technology, which has enabled the creation of decentralized applications (dApps) that can be used for various purposes, including gaming. The COVID-19 pandemic has also played a role in the rise of GameFi and applications. With many people spending more time at home, there has been a surge in demand for online gaming and other digital entertainment options. GameFi arose as it created new gaming experiences that allow players to earn cryptocurrency rewards for their in-game activities. However, as the landscape evolves, novel ways to integrate crypto elements into games have emerged. We have seen the rise of 3A games narrative with high-quality & fun-centric games carried out by Dev teams with strong Web2 gaming backgrounds. We have also witnessed that some cryptopunks, leveraging the beauty of blockchain, are creating so-called autonomous worlds that enable unprecedented gameplays in Web2.

Games & Applications are deemed to be the playground for pioneers & punks in the space. They will remain as such in the foreseeable future.
