5 GameFi development platforms making waves in 2023

With greater scale come greater opportunities and there has never been a better time for game developers looking to build with blockchain.

As underlying Layer 1 networks such as Avalanche, Ethereum and Polkadot continue to expand, there is a growing list of second layer infrastructure being built on top that offer developers a vast resource of computing riches. Lets take a look at 5 of the most popular blockchain gaming development platforms today.

Decentraland

Decentraland describe themselves as a ‘virtual reality platform which allow users to create, experience and monetize content and applications.’ Built upon the Ethereum blockchain, players of Decentraland purchase plots of land which they can then monetize, lease or sell on the open market.

This virtual world is completely owned and governed by its users with each parcel of land existing as an NFT. Decentraland provides its players with a completely alternative reality where they can build applications, process payments and communicate with one another without the need for centralised authority.

Enjin

The Enjin Network offers a suite of interconnected products focussed on blockchain gaming, NFTs and wallet services. As it is built on top of the Ethereum blockchain, Enjin uses the ERC-20 format to tokenise in game assets making the platform one of the most popular on the market today.

Many developers rate Enjin for its easy connectivity and flexibility and with 2.3 million wallet installations to date its hard to disagree.

Gala Games

With the aim of providing increased value to players through the help of Web3 and blockchain technology, Gala Games is a huge eco-system which has been designed with AAA level games in mind and gives players more control, freedom and gaming rewards than ever before.

Hosted on the Polygon network, Gala has been created by passionate and experienced game developers who are looking to change the way we think about gaming whilst providing the best possible blockchain gaming experience above all else.

The Sandbox

In a similar vein to Decentraland, The Sandbox is an Ethereum based virtual world which allows its users to create, build, buy and sell in-game assets. Through the use of a decentralised autonomous organisation (DAO) and non-fungible tokens (NFTs), The Sandbox has created an environment that hosts a thriving blockchain gaming community.

With a core mission to merge the worlds of blockchain and mainstream gaming, The Sandbox is committed to facilitating a creative Play to Earn (P2E) model allowing its players to both create and consume content simultaneously.

Render

One of the hottest projects of 2023 so far, Render continue to push the boundaries of blockchain gaming. Designed as a distributed GPU rendering network built on top of Ethereum, Render is connecting artists and studios who are in need of GPU power, to mining facilities looking to rent their capabilities on the open market.

Using a customised Proof of Work consensus model, the Render network demands that all artwork has been completed and paid for before before any art is released. All payments are stored in escrow and released to node operators once manual verification of finality is achieved. This distributed management of the artist commission and payment process is a fantastic example of how decentralised networks are making the world fairer and more cost effective.

As you can see there are a number of second layer platforms that are intent on shaking up the traditional gaming world. By providing players with true ownership of in-game assets, with the right to swap, trade and develop outside of the eco-system, the gamification of this sector is completely redefining the industry.

Project Lambo is a brand new NFT based gaming platform which puts players at the heart of the gaming experience. Incorporating elements of AI, VR and NFT sharing, Project Lambo is setting the bar high in this new paradigm of immersive and interactive gameplay.
