Quick Take

The market capitalization of the top 50 GameFi tokens declined by over 60% between January and August 2022, roughly equivalent to the decrease in the market capitalization of the top 50 DeFi tokens.
As of August 18, 2022, there are 1,575 GameFi projects. 40% of these games exist on BNB Chain, 26% on Ethereum, and 15% on Polygon.
Many games are pivoting towards the free-to-play (F2P) model to lower the high entry barrier of the current iteration of GameFi. However, the sustainability of token economics remains unsolved in both premium and F2P game models.
Alien Worlds, Axie Infinity, Solitaire Blitz, Splinterlands, and Upland, are the 5 most popular blockchain-based games based on daily active addresses.
