Why would games want to add tradeability?
Imagine a world where players are not just participants but true owners of their virtual assets. This is the promise of web3 gaming, providing:
- Deeper engagement: Players invest more when they have a stake in the game.
- Revolutionized in-game purchases: Gaming wallets stimulate transactions, driving revenue growth.
- Strategic gamification: Loyalty programs and cross-marketing become seamless and impactful.
Benefits of Web3 Tech for Gaming
We believe the tech is amazing. But it has been used the wrong way, creating a lot of skepticism. Let’s discuss benefits of Web3 over Web2.
NFT Tech Benefits:
- Ownership, trade-ability, interoperability
- Immutability, traceable transactions
- Fuels creator economy
Trading Assets:
- Boosts gamer engagement and retention
- Increases in-game time, referrals, and growth
Revenue for Developers:
- Sale royalties, new experiences
- Exclusive content for NFT holders
- Interconnected, investment-like economy
If Web3 offers so many advantages, why did 99% of studios fail?
The problem with Web3 Gaming
Web3 Games don’t have a user base. And they never will in the current form
❌ Friction with new onboarding
❌ Interrupted Gameplay & Too Complex for Normies
❌ Disastrous Gameplay
❌ Web2 Gamers simply hate the word because
99% of Web3 Games have turned out to be a failure.
To attract players, they create ponzi’s. Why? Because their gaming experience is such a disaster, they need to give out unsustainable rewards to retain players.
Gaming turns into a job.
BUT there is a way to combine the Web2 Gameplay and Web3 mechanics, to create a more exciting, sustainable gaming experience and help boost your game’s revenue.
How we seamlessly blended Web2 with Web3
✅ Gameplay first, NFT’s as an upsell.

“We had to change our economy strategy quickly. It was completely in line with other major Web2 games. However, trade-ability caused some of our players to suddenly spend several $100 of dollars like it’s nothing. They see it as an investment rather than a spend like with casual Web2 F2P games, so we had to adjust our pricing”.
CEO
Before working together the gaming studio CEO shared his biggest concerns:
“I’ve been thinking about implementing NFTs for 2-3 years, but it’s too complex, expensive and I’m afraid of backlash”
Here’s how we solved every single one of them 👇
“Too complex”
- Original’s platform is low-code and can be set up in a few days by any web2 dev.
“Too expensive”
- Start for free, Pay As You Go.

“My audience hates NFTs”
