    What is Genopets

    Genopets stands out as an NFT-game with its free-to-play mechanics, but that’s not all. The game also offers Move-To-Learn gameplay. In other words, you receive rewards and incentives for walking and partaking in other physical activities. These activities will directly impact the growth of your Genopet. The game is built on Solana Blockchain for flexibility. Genopets’ economy opens it to players worldwide. It isn’t just a game for crypto-players but also the non-crypto individuals. Therefore, anyone can join the intriguing world of Genopets. 2

    What is Star Atlas?

    Star Atlas is a space exploration themed role-playing game (RPG) built on the Solana network. The game takes place in the year 2620, with political factions, territorial pursuit, high-tech weaponry and space craft enriching different aspects of the gameplay.

    Star Atlas taps into the growing play-to-earn sector of the cryptocurrency space, popularized by games such as Axie Infinity. Play-to-earn games allow players to earn rewards with real-world value for completing tasks and reaching milestones in the game.

    Players are rewarded for their successes while exploring the galaxy with ATLAS tokens, which they can use to buy in-game items such as weapons, ships, land and mining equipment. These items, which take the form of non-fungible tokens (NFTs), are a key aspect of the game, allowing players to take ownership over their own strategies and choose their own adventures. 3

    Findings

    • According to the investigations carried out and the results presented
      • Aurory is older than the other two games and in terms of the number of users, it is higher than its two competitors. Since May 16, 2022, Genopets has been launched, which can be seen that on the day of launch, it was able to attract users as much as half the number of users of Aurory on the day of launch. Also, since September 26, 2022, Star Atlas has been launched, which can be seen that on the day of launch, it was able to attract users as much as one-sixth of the number of users of Aurory on the day of launch.
      • The growth of the number of users of the three games is evaluated positively. It seems that Star Atlas has a higher growth rate than the rest of the test and could overtake Genopets in the near future. Because according to the graph of the first use, Star Atlas attracts more new users than its competitors and also, on average, has more than 60% market share of users every week.
    • It can be seen that more than 90% of the users of these three games use only one of these platforms. As a result, considering the highest percentage of sharing between StarAtlas and Aurory with 3.5%, ==it can be concluded that each platform has a unique user base.

    What is Aurory

    Aurory is a gaming platform based on play-to-ear. We strongly believe that the path for the future of gaming flows from pay-to-play, free-to-play, and finally landing at playing-to-earn.

    Aurory wants people and gamers from everywhere in the world to discover blockchain uses in a fun and educating way. To achieve that goal, Aurory is powered by Solana and uses Serum for our in-game marketplace. 1

    Summary

    The GameFi sector of crypto has been rapidly taking over the traditional gaming industry since the rise of Axie Infinity in 2021. This unique gaming model attracts players by allowing them to earn passive income while having fun with their favourite games. GameFi represents what is known as Play-to-Earn (P2E) blockchain games that provide economic incentives to players through utilising cryptocurrencies (NFTs) and blockchain technology to create a next-generation virtual gaming experience. 

    In doing so, gamers can earn in-game rewards by completing missions, fighting other players and advancing through the different game levels. As part of this process, they can also convert their in-game assets into fiat money on various crypto exchanges and NFT marketplaces. Although each GameFi project adopts its own mode of playing and the in-game economy, one feature remains untouched across all blockchain games: in-game items can be exchanged for fiat money and thus provide players with a source of income. Today's editorial will consider the first-ever AAA* blockchain game Star Atlas and an up-and-coming Moshnake classic nostalgia. read more
