Introducing GameFi
This is a type of blockchain gaming that combines the application of gaming NFTs and Decentralized Finance (DeFi). Imagine a game where players get to earn or buy NFTs and these assets can be collateralized to borrow asset(s) in-game to yield more assets,then you have an idea of what GameFi is all about.
The NFT gaming sector on the blockchain has improved greatly as more gamers are interacting with decentralized games, especially when blockchain games are referred to as "play-to-earn" and NFT games as "pay-to-earn". It is referred to as pay-to-earn because you stand a better chance of earning more when you buy valuable asset(s). GameFi combines the two.
Objects like plots of land, avatars, costumes, weapons and gold bars can be in the form of NFTs depending on what the developers have in mind. Gamers can gather these NFTs and decide to earn more with them or push them to a marketplace where they can be exchanged for cryptocurrency assets. Tracks of games, all NFT owned and initiated transactions are recorded on the blockchain where the information cannot be tampered with.
Staking is also involved in the DeFi part where players can lock away certain tokens in order to earn annual interest and other rewards they can save to purchase other in-game items or unlock new content. Gamefi is really the future of gaming.
”GameFi is going to be the next big thing that makes the DeFi, NFT and the larger crypto space easy to understand and be involved in.” - Justin Sun
