Find gems based on their ecosystem.

The value of ecosystems cannot be overstated. The criterion for selecting potential blockchain projects is always which blockchain platform the project is built on, who has the same support system, and so on. Blockchain games are no different.

Ethereum Ecosystem

Axie Infinity (AXS) is the most prominent game in the Ethereum system, even billionaire Mark Cuban has joined it. Good game, high profit (75-80% of investment per month), the only drawback is the high capital.

Binance Smart Chain Ecosystem (BSC)

Solana and WAX ecosystems

The Solana ecosystem must include the hidden gem," which is Star Atlas (ATLAS). This is a metaverse game that combines Blockchain, real-time graphics, and DeFi. The project will IDO on Raydium and IEO on FTX.

Polygon and Flow ecosystems

Enjin ecosystem

Find hidden gems by Game Studio.

If you are a true gamer, you are probably aware of the importance of game studios. A well-known "publisher" and "manufacturer" name will not only ensure a good game, but will also allow the game to benefit from that Studio's resources.

Studio Animoca Brands

Animoca Brands is Studio's most popular representative in the blockchain game market. Crazy Defense Heroes, a hit P2E game from Animoca Brands, must be included.

Crazy Defense Heroes (TOWER) is a Play to Earn and Play for Free game (free to play), and all you need to get started is a smartphone (Android or iOS) (no initial cost like Axie and other games).

However, the most profitable project is My DeFi Pet (DPET). This is a traditional Virtual Reality Pet Game that uses NFT to combine DeFi, collections, and personalization.
