Leading play-to-earn (P2E) blockchain games have developed communities of players who log on daily to make money playing video games despite market volatility.Continue reading to discover the most popular play-to-earn games on Ethereum (ETH) ranked by user base.
Explain Ethereum
In order to enhance the appearance and functionality of the original Bitcoin (BTC) blockchain, Ethereum was introduced in 2015. It made a name for itself as a platform for distributed computing that executes smart contracts, allowing parties to conduct business with one another decentralized.
Because all transaction records on Ethereum are immutable, verifiable, and securely dispersed throughout the network, the system is secure and open to users. Decentralized applications (dapps) can also be created on the network thanks to Solidity, the network's scripting language, and the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM).
On the Ethereum network, the first dapps, including games with a pay-to-win component, were created. Among all blockchain networks today, Ethereum has the most dapps and blockchain games.
Top Ethereum games
The top Ethereum games for earning money are listed below, according to the number of users in the 30 days prior to the publication of this article (note that the data may have changed between then and the time of the publishing).
Some people might be surprised that well-known P2E games like Decentraland, Axie Infinity, and The Sandbox are not included in the list. They were not as well-liked in the previous month as some of the more recent games that rose in the rankings.
Mirandus
A player-owned universe serves as the backdrop for the multiplayer online role-playing game Mirandus. Player-owned refers to the ability for a player to purchase in-game assets such as land, ships, or docks, which are all represented by non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and to build upon or profit from them.
Each player has an avatar during gameplay, and these avatars go on missions to battle the game's evil characters. Examples, the name for these avatars, are available for purchase in the game's market. Examples can take many different shapes and have a wide range of abilities and functions. On the Ethereum game development platform with all of these races—which include elves, dwarfs, orcs, humans, and others—are represented as NFTs.
You can gain the game's tokens and participate in its economy as you play more. GALA, which is currently used in a number of games developed by the gaming company known as Gala Games, which is the owner of Miranda, is the primary token in the Mirandus economy and is used for transactions within the Gala ecosystem.
On Mirandus, you can use GALA to buy resources such as land, weapons, and Exemplars.
Banana Benji
Before blockchain-based games were created, there was a game called Benji Bananas. The maker of Benji Banana, Animoca Brands, is changing the well-liked game into a play-to-earn game, though, in light of recent events.
Players in the game use Benji, the main character, to jump from vine to vine and gather bananas while avoiding falling or getting hurt by obstacles.
Current Benji Bananas players will need to buy "Benji Passes" in order to make the switch to a P2E game on the Ethereum blockchain. By completing these NFTs, players will be able to acquire PRIMATE tokens, which can be traded for apecoins (APE).
Built on the Ethereum network, ApeCoin's ERC-20 governance and utility tokens have become well-known thanks to its affiliation with the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC), one of the largest NFT collection communities currently active on the market.
Swinging from one vine to another while gathering rewards in Benji Bananas holds the promise of earning ApeCoin, which can then be used in actual life.
At the time of writing, Benji Bananas had 1,280 players in the previous month.
Illuvium
The fantasy, alien world of Illuvium, a far-off planet where their spaceship crashed, is explored by players in the game Illuvium.
As part of the gameplay, you assume the role of an explorer who goes on quests and engages in combat with other players and monsters. Illuvials, the original inhabitants of Illuvium, are recruited or captured at the same time and used to expand your army.
On the Ethereum blockchain, NFTs serve as the representation for the mythical creatures known as Illuvials. They range in rarity, with the most valuable being the rarest. Additionally, you can combine three or more Illuvials to produce new, more rare varieties of the creatures.
ILV, the game's native token, can be obtained through competitions, matches, and completing quests.
Illivium had a total of 865 players in the previous month.
Worlds NFT
Through 10,000 3D voxel-based, limitless worlds, NFT Worlds gives Minecraft a "multi-metaverse" and crypto experience. This is possible because the project was created using Polygon (MATIC), an Ethereum-compatible chain, and third-party Minecraft servers.
Minecraft players can purchase virtual land from OpenSea in the virtual world, build on it, and generate passive income in the form of the game's native token, WRLD. Plans to enable players to "port" between various worlds/spaces, which would be advantageous for those who have successfully developed their NFT Worlds, support this. In this way, NFT Worlds contributes to giving the original Minecraft game a virtual economy.
As of the writing of this article, NFT Worlds had 840 players overall in the previous month.
