Forget everything you knew about 'games for fun'. GameFi is when you play and earn crypto for it. Yes, not just skins and achievements, but real tokens that can be sold, staked, or bought… well, at least a shawarma 😄

What is this even?

GameFi = Game + Finance. These are games built on the blockchain where you receive rewards in cryptocurrency or NFTs for actions in the game. Defeated a boss? Get a token. Levelled up a character? Sell it as an NFT.

Does this really work?

Yes! In 2025, more than 5.8 million people play GameFi every day. And these are not just clickers — these are full-fledged RPGs, strategies, and even sports simulators.

Top projects:

  • 🧬 Illuvium — Pokémon on steroids with AAA-level graphics

  • ⏳ Big Time — RPG with NFT loot and co-op

  • 🕹️ Pixels — a pixel farm with a real economy

Can it be done without investments?

Yes, many games offer starter NFTs or allow you to start for free. But if you want to level up faster — you can invest. Just remember: this is still an investment, not a button to 'make a million in one evening'.

Conclusion

GameFi is not just a trend, but an entirely new economy. You play — and you actually earn from it. The main thing is to choose projects with normal tokenomics and remember that even in the metaverse, you need to think with your head 🧠
