GameFi

Where gaming meets decentralized finance. Players can earn crypto or NFTs by playing, leveling up, or completing in-game missions. The focus is shifting toward Play & Earn, where the fun comes first and earning is a feature, not the whole point. The best GameFi projects feel like real games, not just token farms with a leaderboard.

Some games build full economies, others reward top players, and a few just offer digital bragging rights. Either way, GameFi turns time spent gaming into on-chain value.
