Play to Earn
Since we’re on the subject of earning, herein lies the equally important feature that allows blockchain games to surpass a traditional gaming experience. Many, if not all, blockchain games feature a built-in economy that rewards players for their participation.
For example, Fairy Cat (Fairycat .net) is a blockchain-based game in which players adopt magical cats called Fairy Cats and collect treasures with them. Players who complete daily quests will earn an in-game currency, called Gold Diamond (GD). GD can be exchanged for Tether token (USDT). Unlike conventional in-game items, each Fairy cat and item can be traded on the game’s marketplace for real money.
Fair & Balanced Gaming Experience
Gaming is supposed to be fun and fair for every player. However, a strong element of cheating occurs in traditional gaming that sucks the joy right out of it. Thankfully, the decentralized nature of blockchain games makes it impossible to implement cheat codes. Moreover, it’s virtually impossible to hack a blockchain game, further adding to its overall security for players.
Players Govern the Gaming Ecosystem
In the world of centralized or traditional video games, the critical decisions surrounding the game and its development are handled exclusively by the developers themselves and the company or select major investors that finance the project. Such is not the case with blockchain games. In the latter, the platform’s native token holders control the balance of power through governance rights, which enables them to vote on gaming concepts, upcoming features, and the project’s overall direction.
Possibility of Passive Income
It’s safe to assume that we all dream of a life where our money can earn us more money, but did you ever suspect that a video game would one day make this dream a reality? Incredibly, blockchain game developers wasted no time implementing several features that allow players to earn while they play and earn while they aren’t playing. In games like Fairy Cat, players will have various forms of playing to choose from, including adopting their magic cat and collecting daily passive income, fusion the new cat, doing daily quest, selling their collected items and cats in the marketplace.
Conclusion
The ever-improving gameplay, increased security measures, and play-to-earn models of blockchain games point to this industry growing steadily over the traditional pay-to-play game sector. Fairy Cat is proud to be at the forefront of this rapidly rising segment and plenty of avenues for players to increase their profit-earning potential.

Although the COVID-19 pandemic has deprived many people of work, it has also accelerated a wave of technological development, accelerating the social transition to the era of the Industrial Revolution 4.0. In this wave of innovation, blockchain technology in the crypto economy has introduced entirely new forms of work.
In crypto, smart contracts connect everything. These smart contracts allow us to create new Labor To Earn models, expanding earning opportunities for many people around the world, especially low-skilled workers. New Labor to Earn models include:
-Learn to Earn & Participate to Earn: Users get paid just by using a certain protocol.
-Create to Earn: Users can create artwork (via NFT) and music playlists to earn tokens.
-Play to Earn or GameFi: By far, this is the most advantageous form of making money. They allow players to participate in the development of the game and earn money just by playing the game.
In fact, when the COVID-19 pandemic hit the Philippines, many people in the city of Cabanatuan north of Manila started playing gamefi, to earn money to make ends meet while in lockdown. College students who can't find a job, unemployed drivers, old men and women whose business is sluggish because of the epidemic, etc. have all found a way out in GameFi.
What is GameFi?
Normally, in traditional game business models, all the revenue goes to the publisher, but GameFi is trying to build game universes owned by players, giving them the freedom to play the game and made money. GameFi creates a player-owned economy, by allowing them to trade items and earn more by playing games.

Why is GameFi attractive in developing countries?
The best example of this GameFi phenomenon is Fairy Cat (fairycat .net). Fairy Cat is a blockchain-based game in which players adopt magical cats called Fairy Cats and collect treasures with them. Players who complete daily quests will earn an in-game currency, called Gold Diamond (GD). GD can be exchanged for USDT coin.
Fairy Cat represents a new business model based on blockchain, where game creators share their revenue with players. Every dollar that players earn can go straight to the developers' pockets. However, instead of charging access, selling ads, or forcing users to buy in-apps and keep all the profits for themselves, the developers of Fairy Cat decided to share the profits with players, hoping that The game will be widely used.

Conclusion
It is undeniable that GameFi is an attractive proposition for the unemployed or low-skilled workers. Especially, for young people, this is one of the few areas where they have an advantage over experienced elders thanks to their relatively abundant time and technology skills. Furthermore, GameFi allows anyone to convert wasted time into income with relative ease. Now you can use your time waiting for the bus or queuing at the bank to earn a little extra money. Instead of surfing TikTok or watching Youtube, you can play games to earn money. What do you think about this new way of making money? Please comment below to discuss with us!

Gaming is growing faster than ever before. The gaming industry is currently valued at $173 billion, with very positive indicators showing that it will surpass the $300 billion mark in the next five years. Behind this boom is a recent surge in new players, especially in mobile platforms, which have made gaming a more practical and easily accessible experience for the estimated 2.6 billion gamers worldwide.
But for many, being online just for fun is no longer their primary driver. As the saying goes, time is money and players have certainly taken notice that they're making a big investment in virtual experiences with little return. So they’ve started looking for ways to monetize their hobby. However, beyond the world of eSports, there haven't even been many opportunities for casual players to cash in on the effort they put into gaming - until now.
The rise of blockchain games has turned the tables on the gaming industry by making players, and not developers, the main financial decision-makers.Play-to-earn (P2E) crypto gaming is a trend that shouldn't be overlooked. But before we get into the details, it's worth understanding how it all works.


Top Blockchain Games 2022
When compared to the traditional gaming industry, blockchain gaming is still very much a niche. But that isn't to say that can be scoffed at. While still a small parentage of the whole segment, there are now hundreds of crypto games and they're slowly racking up millions of players (and a whole lot of money).
So here's a quick look at the movers and shakers of the crypto gaming scene:

Axie Infinity

The undisputed king of all crypto games, Axie Infinity has taken NFTs to a stratospheric level. Described by some as a Pokemon-like experience, this game is populated by Axies (or digital creatures), with each being an NFT. Players can buy, exchange and breed Axies, and also used them to battle other players or teams in seasonal tournaments. Rare Axies can be worth thousands of dollars and a plot of virtual land recently sold for $1.5 million. What sets Axie Infinity apart from other gaming platforms is its booming virtual economy, where in-game tokens — Smooth Love Potion (SLP) and Axie Infinity Shard (AXS) - are seeing massive gains (of up to 5,700% as of recently). And unlike other big-name players, Axie also encourages players to cash out. Finally, AXS can be converted to Ether or fiat. The game has been a particular hit in some countries, particularly in the Philippines, where players have gone from making it a side hustle to a full-time occupation.

Blankos Block Party
Mythical Games was, of course, already a household name well before entering the crypto gaming market with Blankos. This game allows you to create your own colorful characters in the form of digital vinyl toys, with a focus on customized designs. It also lets users build and explore virtual worlds where they can collect unique 'Blankos', join quests and be a part of team games ("Block Parties"). Limited edition Blankos have been a major draw for investors, especially given the success of partnerships with names like Deadmau5 and Burberry.
Fairy Cat:
Fairy Cat gamefi fairycat .net is a virtual pet blockchain game Play to earn. The Fairy Cat Blockchain Game offers players and investors a very unique opportunity to collect, trade, battle and earn rare assets that greatly increase their income. Fairy Cats and all other in-game items will be stored as NFTs with a 1:1 equivalent of USDT in the player's wallet and thus can be sold for profit and freely traded.

Mobox
This free-to-play option combines gaming with decentralized finance (DeFi) and runs on the Binance Smart Chain. The developers of Mobox have said that this approach will bring gaming closer to GameFi as a platform where players and investors can access games from different blockchains in one single place. The main goal of the game is to allow players to participate in NFT games freely and earn money by playing. MBOX tokens are used for transaction processing, staking and governance in order to influence the development and allocation of resources within the MOBOX ecosystem. Currently, there are three games available on the platform, with two more games expected to be announced sometime soon.

Until recently, games were split into two main models of monetisation: pay-to-play and free-to-play. However, a new model has started to emerge, dubbed ‘play-to-earn’. Here’s a brief overview of how gaming economics have shifted over the years.
Paid Games/Pay-to-Play (P2P): The First Video Games
It all started with arcade games back in the early 1970s. Arcade video games worked off a pay-per-play model. Like the name suggests, games were monetised per play. Arcade goers would have to stump up a small amount to enjoy one or two rounds of a game. This was hugely profitable.
When home consoles arrived on the scene in 1972, game developers saw a need to introduce a new revenue model: single payment. This new method of payment meant that players could simply pay a one-off sum in order to gain total access to a game. Examples include FIFA and Super Mario Brothers.
In the late ‘90s, subscription models — games that require the player to pay a regular subscription fee in order to maintain access to all parts of a game — were introduced. This method was especially popular with MMORPGs (massively multiplayer online role-playing games) like Tibia, Runescape, and World of Warcraft.
Free-to-Play Games (F2P)/Freemium: The Next Chapter of Gaming
In the free-to-play (F2P) business model, players have access to the core of the game free of charge, but are encouraged to spend money on enhancements, such as additional live, unrestricted playing time, an ad-free experience.
During the early days of the Apple App Store, the majority of early mobile games like Angry Birds, for example, were based on the traditional premium model (i.e., paying for the game up front).
In October 2009, the App Store introduced in-app purchases for free apps, enabling players to purchase digital items, such as in-game currency and resources, to enhance their experience.
Soon after, popular mobile apps like Angry Birds, Temple Run, and Plant vs. Zombies would switch from the premium model to what we call ‘freemium’. Video games like DOTA 2 and Team Fortress 2 quickly followed suit, adopting the free-to-play business model while offering purchasable cosmetics.
Play-to-Earn (P2E) and the Advent of GameFi
In 2017, Ethereum launched CryptoKitties, the first widely recognised blockchain game. Shortly after, a number of other decentralised blockchain games were launched, including Ether Shrimp Farm, Ether Cartel, and Pepe Farm. These games use a P2E economic model, which provides players with the opportunity to monetise their time spent playing games.
In P2E games, in-game assets are usually represented as NFTs, which players can obtain through in-game advancement and gameplay. Unlike traditional video games, where developers control all in-game economics, players in P2E games have ownership and control over their digital assets. They can even contribute to game decisions and help shape the future of the game through the accumulation of tokens.
Take Fairy Cat Gamefi (Fairycat .net), for example, a blockchain game that rose to prominence in 2022. In Fairy Cat, players collect, breed, train creatures called ‘Fairy Cat’. Unlike conventional in-game items, each Fairy cat and item can be traded on the game’s marketplace for real money.
The game has one native cryptocurrency: USDT. Which is what players earn through playing the game.
With all that said, games like Fairy cat can have a cost of entry. In order to start playing, users must adopt one pet character. Building out an average team in first stage would have cost around US$30
This initial cost is still a huge barrier for many, especially as the vast majority of blockchain game players currently hail from developing countries. This hurdle has led to the rise of gaming guilds — platforms that enable NFT owners to lend out in-game assets (NFTs) in return for a share of the assets generated — which reduce the considerable upfront costs for would-be participants. The most well-known guild is Yield Guild Games (YGG).

For the past few weeks, I have been working from home, the work is still the same, only the one that saves travel time, has an extra 1-2 hours a day to read, play, and reflect on life.
Due to the epidemic, I also live slower, go out less,  cook by myself instead of eating at a restaurant. Thanks to living slowly, I have time to think about miscellaneous things, so now I write these lines to confide in IT brothers for fun.
A few words in the article are just personal thoughts, not advice. Just think of it as drinking Corona beer while listening to me gossip!
I feel lucky to be in the IT industry
For a few days, reading online, everywhere, businesses are closed, people lose their jobs or reduce revenue, especially in the tourism, catering, and advertising industries.
Fortunately, I have not been… unemployed. Looking back, our IT industry can still do remote work. Therefore, in the short term, our work has not been affected.
Still, economic stagnation is certain. We will also face difficulties indirectly: the company is not profitable, the salary is difficult to increase, and it may be reduced; other companies are afraid to recruit people, difficult to change jobs; Freelance projects are also less.
Not to mention, many startups will be heavily affected during this period (transportation, education, tourism, etc.). The salary of IT brothers is very high, so it is easy to become the object of a cut when companies have difficulties, or … bankruptcy.
Should save extra income
Therefore, I advise you to work hard to save and have extra income.
I'm sure my devs are pretty good at saving things. Our career does not need to dress much, does not need social investment. Therefore, if you are sure that any brother is single, unmarried, he will probably save quite a bit.
In addition, having outside income will also help you worry less. In addition to the main job in the company, I also have a number of side income sources such as:
Play GameFi for money (Fairycat .net, DeFi Kingdoms .com, Axie Infinity .com,..)
-Run grab
-Taking pictures of sexy cosplay posted patreon…
-Advertising money from blog/ youtube/ fanpage
This amount is not much compared to salary, but if unemployed, it is enough for three meals a day and coffee. Personally, I always save at least 3-6 months of living expenses, so that if I lose my job unexpectedly (the boss fires, the company goes bankrupt, I quit the job…) I can still take it easy.
There's no such thing as a...stable life
The dev works in a huge company with thousands of employees, a high-paying, stable job. Now due to the epidemic, the company is looking for ways to cut back, so every day ... live in fear
Thinking back, sometimes we are so used to everyday life: going to work, chatting with colleagues, receiving salary, ... so it feels normal and boring.
Until we can't leave the house, we feel how much fun it is to go to work! Until our company goes out of business, how precious every month's salary is! Only when we get fever, cough and suspected of being infected with Covid, we realize how valuable and fragile health is!
Well, if you lose your freedom and your job, you can slowly get them back, only losing your health is a bit difficult to get back. Remember to protect yourself, wash your hands a lot, work in moderation, and exercise regularly.
That's it, some of my gossip is over! What about you, has your life, your acquaintances changed because of COVID? Remember to share in the comments!
