P2E and Web3 Weekly Review (May 26- June 2)

Web3 gaming adds special events and NFT drops to keep engagement. Web3 growth is also happening, with new technologies for smoother onboarding. New types of wallets and a more seamless experience are adding opportunities for growth. For most of 2023, Web3 games continue to fall into several categories. Those include highly active live games with a simple model. Other projects are still building their complex AAA-grade products. Some of the 3D games are successful, with Undead Blocks among the most prominent. 

Top Events of the Week

• Mini Miners Launches Competitive Event
• Mines of Dalarnia Launches Monthly Quest from June 1
• Genopets Adds Expedite Crafting Feature

Illuvium started as a game heavily invested in GameFi. Currently, Illuvium Overworld and the main game are in closed beta, with new features added regularly. Still, ILV tokens are near their lower range, and the game has tried to focus more on playing fun and its growing world and characters. 

Leading Games by Number of Users

Games at the top retain their users. Iskra remains a new arrival phenomenon, growing its user base by 15% ahead of the weekend. Move-to-earn games are also highly active. Leading games retain their player base and bring no unusual ranges in daily visits.

P2E Token Price Action

The market cap of all P2E tokens recovered to $5.06B, as most of the leading crypto assets retain their value. P2E tokens hover near their lows, but have achieved relative stability, with diminished selling pressures. Most classical P2E games have either regrouped, or abandoned their tokenization model.

Games and collections continue to show the importance of NFT. Trading still depends on trending collections and hype, and some of the NFT series remain hot. Minting free NFT is one of the ways to engage with collections that may go through a boom trading cycle. The best approach is to use a dedicated wallet for minting, to avoid signing malicious transactions.
