9 Blockchain Games To Earn Money

Videogames have been with us for around 50 years and in all this time, we have seen how this form of entertainment has evolved in a remarkable way; from something as basic as Pong or Tetris to the open worlds of Zelda.

However, we know that the evolution of videogames goes hand in hand with technology, so it was inevitable that a technology like blockchain would sooner or later become part of modern gaming.

Today, thanks to the new “Play-to-Earn” genre, players can earn money while playing and even use such games as a form of investment.

Industry analysts show strong signs that the videogame industry will continue growing and with this growth, will come new opportunities to make money. For that reason, today I present, 9 Blockchain Games to Earn Money. A list of what I consider to be the Play-to-Earn games with the greatest potential of the moment. Insha’Allah, you find one that fits your needs.

1. Axie Infinity

Buy adorable monsters, raise them, put them to fight each other, and earn money with it. That’s what Axie Infinity, the most popular blockchain/NFT game of the moment is all about.

Axie Infinity has a similar mechanic to that of the popular Pokémon, only that instead of gaining experience when fighting – either against the AI or against other players – your monsters (Axies) earn SLP tokens, which you can later exchange for real money.

In Axie Infinity, both the Axies and the game plots are represented by NFTs and that’s the key to this matter. The game runs on Ethereum and uses Ronin, an independent wallet to speed up transactions.

What you need to play Axie Infinity

To start, you’ll need to create a Ronin wallet and also have an Ethereum wallet, transfer ETH to Ronin, create an account on the Axie Infinity website, and download the game on your device.

After this, you’ll need to buy three Axies to form a fighting team. At the time of publishing this blog post, acquiring a “decent” monster for combat costs about $500, so the initial investment can be around $1,500 – although you can also opt for a scholarship to play for free.

Is it easy to earn money?

Although the initial cost can be very high for many players, Axie Infinity is a game with wide possibilities that rewards players the more time and effort they put into it. It also has other options to earn money, such as token staking, Axies breeding, and buying/selling virtual plots.

2. Alien Worlds

Alien Worlds is a game in which players can explore and mine on different planets, use weapons, artifacts, and minions in space battles. In Alien Worlds you can win Trilium (TLM), a cryptocurrency token that you get through real crypto mining represented in the game, in addition to NFTs for free.

TLM is a token that joins the Wax and Ethereum blockchains and allows the economies of both chains to function as one. Subsequently, you can trade and sell both TLMs and NFTs on various exchanges and earn money from them.

What you need to play Alien Worlds

Getting started in Alien Worlds is as simple as creating a wallet in Wax Cloud Wallet and an account on the game’s official website associating your Wax wallet.

It’s also possible to start in Alien Worlds without investing any money. In this case, you start with a standard character and a shovel, then travel to different planets to find Trilium. During mining, there is a chance to find some NFT for free.

Is it easy to earn money?

In Alien Worlds, it’s possible to earn a good amount of money, but this will depend a lot on several factors, including the quality and quantity of your tools, as well as the planet you are mining on. In many cases, at the time of publishing this blog post, there is the possibility of finding NFTs with a value between $30 and $40, and even more valuable ones.

3. CryptoBlades

CryptoBlades is a web browser RPG released on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) that also uses NFT technology. The game revolves around obtaining powerful swords and fighting in an epic fantasy world. CryptoBlades also rewards players with cryptocurrency tokens called SKILL, when they participate in battles against other players and in some in-game challenges.

In addition to that, you can also upgrade your characters and weapons as you progress through the game, which also serves to increase your earnings.

What you need to play CryptoBlades

To get started in CryptoBlades, you only need a web browser and a compatible wallet configured for BSC. Once you have connected your wallet to the game’s DApp, you should have at least 0.5 SKILL on hand, something quite inexpensive compared to other similar games.

Is it easy to earn money?

In CryptoBlades you have the possibility to forge new and more powerful weapons to increase your chances of winning more SKILL. In addition to earning money from battles, you can also claim daily SKILL bonuses, trade in-game, and put your tokens on staking.

4. MegaCryptoPolis 3D

MegaCryptoPolis 3D (MCP3D) is a game that focuses on building cities. As a user, you can run the game through any browser, including your mobile phone, while in-game assets are stored on the Ethereum and TRON blockchains, where the game runs.

As a player, you can create your own buildings or just rent them, produce new construction materials, new generations of citizens, create services, place ads, tour the city, and more. All this while earning money in the form of $MEGA tokens.

What you need to play MegaCryptoPolis 3D

Being based on the Ethereum and TRON blockchains, you’ll need a digital wallet compatible with these networks, acquire some ETH or TRX, depending on the network you choose, and start buying blocks of virtual land on the city map before proceeding to create buildings. Each lot of land is represented as an ERC-721 token that you can transfer and trade as a cryptocurrency on external markets.

Is it easy to earn money?

Each building in MCP3D is represented by an NFT. Take into account that you can do everything in the game related to construction and real estate, so the options to earn money are many. On the other hand, you don’t even need a building or land to play; you can buy game assets on the market and sell them at a higher price when they go up in price, either whole or even in parts to earn more money.

5. The Sandbox

The Sandbox is an Ethereum-based open virtual world that allows players to build, play, own, and monetize their virtual gaming experiences and ideas.

In The Sandbox, you’ll find 3D modeling software tools that will allow you to create your own voxel assets and then move on to animate your creations, which can be anything, including people, tools, monsters, buildings, etc.

Finally, you can export your creations in The Sandbox, to The Sandbox Marketplace, where you can sell them in the form of NFTs.

What you need to play The Sandbox

Once you have created and configured your Ethereum wallet, you need to buy LAND. These LANDs are chunks of virtual land on which you can shape your NFT creations. Once you do this, you get SAND, The Sandbox’s native utility token that is used throughout the ecosystem to perform transactions.

Is it easy to earn money?

The key to making money is in the quantity and quality of your creations: the more of these two factors you have, the more SAND you will get.

Then you can use this SAND as a means of exchange in The Marketplace or other external markets, or invest part of your SAND tokens to earn additional rewards thanks to staking. With SAND’s current price around $1, this may be a very good option.

6. Crazy Defense Heroes

Crazy Defense Heroes (CDH) is a game developed and published by Animoca Brands. It’s the largest and most expanded version of the Crazy Kings game, which was released on iOS in 2017 and Android in 2018.

CDH belongs to the popular “defend the tower” genre, but it has a somewhat more complete gameplay enriched with elements such as resource gathering, new heroes, buildings, and spells.

This app offers you more than 500 levels of frantic gameplay, in addition to the possibility of playing against real opponents in strategic online PvP games. On top of that, being based on Ethereum, you can earn TOWER tokens as you progress in your adventure.

What you need to play Crazy Defense Heroes

For starters, Crazy Defense Heroes is a free-to-play game, so you don’t need to make any initial investment to start playing. What you’ll need is to link your game account to your Ethereum wallet to claim your rewards or buy tokens to make purchases or exchanges within the game.

Is it easy to earn money?

The more time you spend playing CDH, the more TOWER tokens you will earn. Take into account that it’s possible to acquire better weapons, equipment, and cards to advance within the game and for this, users need TOWER tokens. In this way, you can put your surplus TOWER tokens up for sale on exchanges such as Sushiswap or Uniswap.

7. Ethermon

Ethermon is a game built on the Ethereum network in which you can unleash your passion for collecting monsters, in this case, Ether Mons. You must capture them, put them to fight, and exchange them for other monsters to earn $EMON, the game currency.

Thanks to Ethermon’s smart contracts and their programming, you’ll have the guarantee that your monsters are yours and nobody else’s property and since each monster has a unique and unrepeatable personality and characteristics, you can sell and trade them like any collector’s item.

What you need to play Ethermon

As always, an Ethereum wallet, buy Ether on any reputable exchange, and play to win $EMON.

Like “MonSeeker,” you must interact with smart contracts to achieve three objectives:

Capture Ethermons – There is a limited number.
Train your monsters – You can even raise hatchlings from them and then sell or rent them to other players.
Fight other MonSeekers – You know, more $EMON.

Is it easy to earn money?

As you can see, Ethermon’s mechanics are very similar to those of Axie Infinity. You’ll use $EMON to send your Ethermons on adventures for a chance to find new and exclusive monsters, or buy Ethermon eggs from the shop and see what they hatch.

From time to time, new collections of Ethermons appear available in official stores and since the platform has a limited distribution, the more rare and powerful your monsters are, the more valuable they will be.

8. Lost Relics

Lost Relics is an RPG action game similar to the famous Diablo, in which you must explore dungeons full of enemies to meet certain objectives. However, the game also has some roguelike touches, so the difficulty is somewhat higher.

The best thing about this game is that you can find items in the form of NFTs based on the Enjin blockchain, which gives them value in the cryptocurrency market.

You can have several roles within the game including miner, fisherman, alchemist, blacksmith, and depending on which one you choose, you can obtain specific benefits.

What you need to play Lost Relics

You will need to have an Enjin wallet in order to transfer the NFT items you find in the game to sell them on the Enjin marketplace. The game is Free-to-Play, but note that you will need to have a – more or less – powerful computer to play, with a graphics card of at least 8GB RAM.

Is it easy to earn money?

The game requires some time and dedication to gain experience and level points. As you progress, the chances of getting more and better NFT items to sell on the market also increase.

Meanwhile, you can accumulate “gold coins.” This is another type of incentive that you can get by completing an adventure – and sporadically in barrels or boxes – and that are used to carry out in-game transactions – something similar to Runescape gold.

9. Upland

Upland is a Play-to-Earn game based on the EOS blockchain, in which users can build, buy, sell, and trade virtual properties assigned to the real world to earn UPX coins. The project uses blockchain to link each property within Upland to an NFT.

Thanks to its recent partnership with Tilia Pay, Upland users can now sell their NFT virtual assets through the Second Life payment network, which supports PayPal to withdraw their earnings in USD. This should give you an idea of the capabilities of the platform.

What you need to play Upland

You can start the game by registering on the official website and connecting your compatible EOS wallet. The game is also available for iOS and Android.

In addition to this, you’ll need UPX to be able to carry out in-game transactions. The good part is that when you first sign up, the game gives you a welcome bonus of several thousand UPX. But it’s certain that sooner or later, you’ll need to buy more UPX in the game.

Is it easy to earn money?

Each property you build or acquire will generate passive income in the form of UPX. The problem is that they generate a very low monthly income. Another perhaps more profitable option is collections, which are nothing more than a certain number of properties in some specific place on the map. These collections can give you additional benefits in the form of bonuses.

Is playing video games halal?

Is playing video games halal? Yes, scholars say that it is permissible to play video games so long as the focus and/or content of the video game is not on haram things such as murder, stealing, gambling, nudity, etc. Also, the video game must not promote hate towards or the destruction of Islam and if you are earning money from playing video games, then the money should not come from prize money that is sourced from the collection of contestant fees.

And even though playing video games is halal, scholars still do not encourage it as playing video games may lead some to neglect the rights of Allah, others, or even themselves by forgetting prayer times, not giving proper time to one’s spouse, or other necessary obligations.
