4. WHY DO WE
NEED
BLOCKCHAIN?
• Cryptos is all about
Financial Sovereignty not
E-Payment
• Blockchain for Game
means Financial
Sovereignty for Gamers
• Whatever in-game assets
I’ve been paid for or foght
for, I can do whatever I
want, to sell it or rent it
without permission of the
others
5. GAMEFI
BOOMING FROM
NOWEHRE?
This photo was taken early 2019,
Aleksander Leonard Larsen (the
COO of Sky Mavis) proudly
announced they just finished
their first land sale on Axie
Infinity. During this panel,
nobody talked about GameFi, not
even DeFi.
Blockchain Games aren’t new
Play2Earn is not a new word
Goldfarmers is a way to make a
living even before Bitcoin was
invented.
Why does GameFi booming?
6. GAMEFI
IS
GAME+DEFI
• DEXs with AMM like Uniswap
surpass major crypto exchange
trading value
• Staking & Liquidity Mining
being popular and acceptable
to most users
• ETH price surged hence all
blockchain games assets value
surged (People made money!)
• Side chain/ Layer 2/ Other
Public Chain lower user entry
barrier with cheap fees
• NFTs’ huge trading value
gained major media exposures
In the later of 2020 I predicted in a presentation that the Next Big
Thing will be applications based on DeFi Money Legos

9. GAMEFI
CHALLENGES OF OPERATION
1. Crypto users population remain small
2. User entry barrier still high, painful for new users to learn
how to use crypto wallet
3. Low liquidity for in-game assets
4. Low efficiency in marketplace, Opensea is not for GameFi
5. Individual user’s profit gaining power limited by time and
and financial capability
6. DAO governance could be very slow
7. Whale users might alter the game experience or even the
in-game economic
10. THE NEW OPPORTUNITIES COME
WITH GAMEFI
GUILD:
Just like the old time, but bigger guild like Yield Guild Games could benefit
from DAO governance and community growth.
Wallet for GameFi:
Better User On-boarding Process, simple design of UI/UX
Provide insights and value tracks for in-game assets
GameFi Exclusive Trading Platform:
A GameFi trading standard builder like Opensea for NFT,
provides trading analysis data and visualized value trends
Lending Protocols for GameFi
Provides liquidity, stablized market price
11. WHAT’S MY CHANCE
AS A NORMAL PERSON
WHO IS NOT WHALE?
1. Play2Earn
2. Invest in GameFi project or staking
3. Flipping in-game assets (Characters/
Wearables /Lands )
4. Invest in Guild / Join one
5. Build your own guild / scholar program
