After the decentralized finance craze, non-fungible tokens are the next big thing. To the surprise of many, NFT gradually came into focus and is also the center with the highest turnover at the beginning of January 2022. Quantitatively NFT buyers on Ethereum | Source: Delphi Digital While 2021 is the year of NFT, GameFi apps have surpassed DeFi in terms of user popularity. According to data from DappRadar, Bloomberg concludes:
“Almost 50% of active crypto wallets connected to decentralized applications (dapps) in November were dedicated to gaming. The share of wallets running DeFi, dapps, has dropped to 45% over the same period, months after it was the top use case for dapp.”
Blockchain play-to-earn (P2E) game Axie Infinity is cutting edge, sparking a gaming craze that’s expected to last into 2022 to awaken the sleeping giants that rule the field.
Let’s take a look at 5 blockchain games that could make waves in 2022. #First. DeFi kingdoms
The inspiration for DeFi Kingdoms came from something very simple: the passion for investing that drew developers to blockchain technology. DeFi Kingdoms can be viewed as a visualization of liquidity pool investments (where in-game “gardens” represent literal and figurative token pairs) and “gardening” is Mining.Liquidity Pool (LP).
In the game, investors have part of the liquidity in the land of blooming flowers. By aligning the concept of growth with DeFi protocols in a play-and-earn model, DeFi Kingdoms promises to create an inflection point in gaming.

This could be due to the large number of people interested in both DeFi and blockchain gaming, or it could be due to the recent surge in in-game utility token JEWEL.
JEWEL is a utility token that allows users to purchase in-game NFT items to increase the base stat. It is also used for liquidity mining to allow users to earn more JEWEL through staking.

Over the past four months, the token price has surged from $1.23 to an all-time high of $23.36. At the time of writing, JEWEL is down almost 65% and is trading at $11.17.
Despite surging about 1,400% from a modest starting point of $1.23 four months ago in September, the JEWEL token price is down about 41% this month alone, according to data from CoinGecko. #2. Guild of Guardians
Guild of Guardians is one of the most anticipated blockchain games of 2022, based on ImmutableX – the first Layer 2 solution on Ethereum specialized in NFT. With the goal of reaching more users, Guild of Guardians is launched as a free mobile RPG modeling P2E mechanics.

The project appears to be of interest to many players and investors as the NFT Founders sale and token launch generate close to $10 million in volume.
Launched in October 2021, the ERC-20 Guild of Guardians (GOG) token is known as the “Gem” in-game. Gems are the basis for important game features such as NFT minting and market interaction, which can be earned while playing the game. 1D diagram GOG/billion USDT | The source: trading view Over the past month, the GOG token has performed quite well, having surged to an all-time high of $2.81 following its launch. Although the token is down more than 71% against ATH at the time of writing, some members of the community are awaiting staking and liquidity pools. These are features that help stabilize the token price. A Twitter user comment:
“GOG was the brightest name of 2022, much like AXS was in 2021 – all the more likely because the game has been profitable ever since. GOG has a ~$50 million capitalization… I’ll tell you how to go from $50 million to $1.4 billion where you have the greatest chances of… staking, in-game rewards… earning . #3. Galaxy Fight Club
Imagine having an NFT Proof-of-Picture (PFP) and making it your avatar to fight other planes in a galaxy far, far away. Galaxy Fight Club (GFC) is a blockchain game that abruptly shifts focus from a collection of 10,000 avatars to the first cross-platform, cross-brand PvP fighting game where players can […]
