How PlayToEarn Has Changed Since the Blockchain Gaming Boom
September 28, 2022
MINS
PlayToEarn was revolutionary for the blockchain gaming space, but a narrative change swithced focus on the ownership and gameplay
PlayToEarn, PlayAndEArn, PlayAndOwn, PlayToOwn
PlayToEarn has evolved since it became the term most associated with the 2021 blockchain gaming boom lead by popular Web3 game, Axie Infinity.
The initial blockchain gaming model featured a token that gamers earn while playing a game, thus the term PlayToEarn. The idea was revolutionary in the sense that regular gamers could now earn a living by playing a game without being a content creator or a pro player. Through $SLP farming during its initial model, Axie Infinity managed to give players in some countries an income that was, at one point, higher than the minimum wage.
Play 2 Earn is dead.
— Brycent 🚀 (@brycent_) September 22, 2022
It’s been dead for quite sometime.
This is great, it means more sustainable models that are not cash grabs will rise to the top.
However, this model proved to be a bit short-lived as it was exhaustively extractive to the game economy. Value needs to enter the economy in order for value to be extracted. When Axie Infinity became popular in 2021, value entered its economy through new players. But when the supply of its utility token overtook its demand, prices started to go south as economic laws took over.
This wasn’t an isolated case. Games with a similar model all had the same problem. Pegaxy, a horse simulation game on Polygon, saw an influx of players, most of whom came from the Axie ecosystem. Prices of its NFTs and tokens rocketed quickly, but also dropped just as fast. Web3 gaming personalities became critical of the PlayToEarn model, and soon after, games began creating a new narrative.
P2E is not DEAD. It's just evolved to P2Enjoy and P2Esports. 😁

PlayAndEarn
The narrative shifted from PlayToEarn to PlayAndEarn to try and change the focus of the project from financial gain to enjoyable gameplay. The potential to earn from playing the game is still present and players can still own their assets. The main difference is that developers now focus more on creating a fun game, rather than a project that can generate financial rewards.

— Psycheout - Aleksander (@Psycheout86) July 27, 2022
In our opinion, "Play-to-Earn" means that players are able to earn Fungible and Non-Fungible tokens in a gaming universe, which may or may not have value.
Over time we noticed that players viewed it differently, hence the change to "Play-and-Earn"
Apart from the narrative shift, projects started investing more on the development of their games. Value-adding gameplay, instead of just interacting with the protocol, was the priority when incentivizing players. The competitive nature of games is one aspect that developers look to focus incentives on as more projects try to build a competitive eSports scene to supplement their basic in-game economies.
PlayAndOwn / PlayToOwn
However, attaching the word “Earn” still connotates an extractive mindset which doesn’t really help blockchain gaming economies, especially in their infancy stage. Earning is still equated to the old model where token earnings are seen as salaries for players. From PlayToEarn to PlayToOwn, a new concept called PlayAndOwn or PlayToOwn started forming.
2/ When you buy a house you don't buy it to sell, you buy it to live in, because it has a purpose and you hope that in the future if you sell it, and the markets are favourable, then you might make a profit. Web3 is the same.
— SteveWoody.eth | Undisputed Noobs (🌻,🌻) (@STEVEW00DY) May 1, 2022
Play and OWN, and you have the choice to sell
The shift in focus from earning to owning takes away that extractive mentality. This doesn’t inhibit the ability of players to extract tokens from the ecosystem, but it does realign the thought process to reinvesting the tokens in the economy instead of taking them out and creating additional sell pressure for the token. Earnings through this narrative come in the form of value accrual through ownership of game asset Non-Fungible Token (NFTs).
Sunflower Land, a PlayAndOwn blockchain game on the Polygon network, adheres to this narrative quite well. In their protocol, players earn $SFL, the primary in-game currency that is also an on-chain token. However, instead of extracting $SFL from the ecosystem, the team has built desirable and limited-edition NFTs that can only be purchased using $SFL. Once those are all sold out, players looking to acquire the asset have to do so on the secondary market.
PlayToEarn was a revolutionary start to the blockchain gaming philosophy. It is still debatable if the changes in narratives really affects players’ extraction decisions. But one thing is for sure, the ideologies around PlayToEarn have shifted since the 2021 blockchain gaming boom.

Terraform Co-Founder Do Kwon Arrested in Montenegro After Months on the Run
March 25, 2023
Do Kwon has also been charged with fraud by US prosecutors, who issued an eight-count indictment against him for securities fraud, wire fraud, commodities fraud, and conspiracy.
Do Kwon Caught at Podgorica Airport
Do Kwon, co-founder of Terraform Labs, was arrested by Montenegro police at Podgorica airport while trying to board a flight to Dubai, according to Reuters.
During the encounter, the Montenegrin police discovered forged Costa Rican passports and a Belgian passport in their luggage. The Montenegrin police formally charged the ex-Terra CEO along with a second suspect for allegedly forging official documents before a Podgorica court.
After matching fingerprints with official records, South Korean police confirmed that Kwon was the suspect in Montenegro on Friday.
Within hours of Kwon's detention in Podgorica, the U.S. District Court in Manhattan made public an eight-count indictment against him. This includes two counts each of securities fraud, wire fraud, commodities fraud, and conspiracy.
Allegations Against Do Kwon by SEC
The recent criminal case followed last month's civil charges brought against Kwon and Terraform by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
According to SEC allegations, Do Kwon misled investors regarding TerraUSD's stability and failed to inform them that the coin's price fell below its dollar peg. The value of the token and its underlying cryptocurrency sank to near zero last May, resulting in a sell-off in cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Tether as a result.
Additionally, the SEC claims that Kwon and Terraform falsely claimed Chai, a Korean mobile payment app, used the Terraform blockchain to process payments.
Worth noting that South Korean authorities issued an arrest warrant for Mr. Kwon last September after determining Terraform Labs had violated capital market regulations.
South Korean officials believed he was in Serbia and sent officials to Belgrade to negotiate since there was no extradition treaty between the two countries.
A Seoul prosecutor told CNN in December that the crypto entrepreneur hid in Serbia after leaving Singapore via Dubai. Kwon was based in Singapore while running the blockchain platform Terraform Labs.

Uniswap Approaches $50M in Weekly Exchange Volume on BNB Chain
March 25, 2023
Uniswap has posted healthy numbers during its first 10 days on BNB Chain, but its activity right now is a fraction of chain leader PancakeSwap’s.
The Beginning of the Uniswap Era on BNB Chain
Uniswap is making inroads into Decentralized Finance (DeFi) on BNB Chain, as the swap volume on the Decentralized Exchange (DEX) approaches the $50 million mark in the past week.
The weekly volume catapulted Uniswap into seventh place among all BNB Chain DEXes, which overall posted a decrease in exchange activity of more than 40% in the past week.
According to DefiLlama, the volume on Uniswap has hovered around $7 million per day since its launch on March 16.
In terms of Total Value Locked (TVL), Uniswap’s TVL of $10.5 million puts it in 13th place among BNB Chain DEXes.
The Battle of the DEXes on BNB Chain has just begun, but after 10 days Uniswap hasn’t yet registered as much more than a blip against dominant DEX PancakeSwap, posting about 3% of the PancakeSwap’s exchange volume and less than half a percent of PancakeSwap’s TVL.
So far ….
What is BNB Chain:
Previously known as the Binance Smart Chain (BSC), BNB Chain is a community-driven, decentralized, and censorship-resistant blockchain that is powered by Binance. It consists of BNB Beacon Chain and BNB Smart Chain, EVM compatible and facilitating a multi-chain ecosystem. Through the concept of MetaFI, BNB Chain aims to build the infrastructure to power the world’s parallel virtual ecosystem.
Find more about BNB Chain here:
Website | Twitter | Discord | Telegram | GitHub |
What is PancakeSwap:
PancakeSwap is a multichain Decentralized Exchange (DEX) built on BNB Chain and available on Ethereum and Aptos. It offers users various features such as Liquidity Pools (LPs), swapping, yield farming, Syrup Pools, an Automated Market Maker, Initial Farm Offerings (IFOs), an NFT profile system, and other tools. In addition, the protocol helps users make the most out of their crypto assets by trading, earning through yield farming, and winning via lottery, prediction, and NFT collectibles. With the highest trading volumes in the market, PancakeSwap is the leading DEX on BNB Chain.

What is Uniswap:
Uniswap was launched in November 2018 and has grown to become the largest decentralized exchange in its category. It was built open-source on the Ethereum blockchain and uses the AMM model to facilitate Ethereum ERC-20 token swaps.
Much of the progress made in Ethereum-based DeFi expansion is attributable to Uniswap as it provided the market-making utility for Web3 apps to function in a decentralized environment. The platform consistently records daily trade volumes of over half a billion dollars and has a total volume locked (TVL) of more than $3 billion. The platform has traded over $1 trillion since it launched via over 129 million transactions.

BNB Chain's Zero2Hero Hackathon Secures Strong Support
March 25, 2023
BNB Chain's Zero2Hero Hackathon is receiving support from AWS, Google Cloud, and Tencent Cloud, as well as several Web3 partners, for an upcoming blockchain hackathon where participants will compete for cash prizes and a chance to join the incubator program.
Major Tech & Web3 Support
BNB Chain has announced the Zero2Hero Hackathon, the second phase of its six-month online Bootcamp-Hackathon-Incubator program.
The hackathon will take place from April 17th to May 14th, and has garnered support from Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud, and Tencent Cloud as key strategic technology partners. The event aims to bring together blockchain professionals and developers from around the world to collaborate on projects and solutions that will help advance the blockchain industry.
We spoke to the team to understand more about the exciting development:
“As part of the 6-month Builder Series, the Zero2Hero Hackathon is an exciting opportunity for developers to showcase their skills and compete with the best in the industry. With the support of our strategic technology partners, including AWS, Google Cloud and Tencent Cloud, as well as our Web3 partners such as Chainlink Labs and Axelar, we are excited to bring together a community of talented developers and innovative projects,” said Zoe Wei, Head of Developer Relations at BNB Chain.
BNB Chain has also partnered with several leading Web3 companies for this hackathon, including Chainlink Labs, Axelar, Nodereal, Polyhedra, Hacken, RSS3, and Port3. The hackathon will feature seven tracks, including DeFi, Infra & Scalability, SocialFi, Cross-chain, NFT, Gamify & Metaverse, Greenfield and Innovation. Participants will compete for cash prizes of $15k for 1st place, $6k for 2nd place, and $4k for 3rd place in each track.
During the hackathon, nearly 20 technical workshops will be provided where hackers can learn the latest technologies. Free access to multiple dev resources such as cloud and node services will be available, and the calendar of the tech teams of partners will be open for hackers to book office hours. The judging criteria will lean towards full MVPs projects, although a clean and creative implementation of the feature serving as an excellent example of feature usage is also acceptable.
The 6-Month Builder Series, focused on accelerating Web3 development, commenced its initial phase in February with a Bootcamp featuring sessions in multiple languages. The series will be held in partnership with the Blockchain Center, established by Astana Hub, the largest technopark in Central Asia, and the Payment and Financial Technologies Development Center of the National Bank of Kazakhstan. Other partners included the Blockchain Academy Group, a Hong Kong government-backed program, and Encode Club, a leader in Solidity training.
