Catizen is Telegram’s top-grossing game — a cat-merging mini-app that grew into a 30-title Game Center. Starting takes one tap inside Telegram and costs nothing; the honest version is that it’s a free casual game with an optional token layer, not an income — the CATI earn window peaked with the 2024 airdrop. What Catizen…
Cambria is a browser MMORPG on Ronin where the economy is real and adversarial — its own designers call it “risk-to-earn.” You can lose what you stake. That makes this the highest-friction onboarding in our registry: you need a Ronin wallet and, for most content right now, an invite or a citizen. The upside of…
Big Time is the closest blockchain gaming has to a full action-RPG: a free-to-play, four-class dungeon crawler (time-wizard to shadowblade) that plays like a real game first and only meets crypto at the cosmetics layer. The honest split: download, party up, loot — all free with no wallet; the NFT layer is cosmetic collectibles and…
Polkadot’s story in NFT gaming is really one publisher’s story: Mythical Games runs its own Polkadot-based network (Mythos), and every Polkadot game in our registry is either a Mythical title or a Mythical ecosystem neighbor. That makes the chain easy to summarize — and gives it the sharpest alive/dead split we track: two of the…
Axie Infinity: Terrariums is the land game’s successor — Homeland was officially sunset in June 2026 and Terrariums is where that ecosystem landed. It’s the actively maintained “build and manage” side of Axie, distinct from the Origins card-battler. Here’s the path in. Terrariums vs the rest of Axie, today Three names cover the live Axie…
Audiera is the web3 continuation of the Audition dance franchise — a rhythm game where the NFT layer is creator-content (mint your tracks) rather than equipment. It’s free to play and unusually multi-surface: browser dApp, Android, and a Telegram mini-game. Here’s the path — with one honesty note on its marketing numbers. What Audiera actually…
Most blockchain games say “free to play” — and most of them mean it. But “free” covers a surprising range: free to download, free to start, free without a wallet, free without owning NFTs, free with optional paid assets. They’re different things, and the label alone doesn’t tell you which applies. This guide separates access,…
In 2021, BNB Chain — then Binance Smart Chain — was the densest GameFi habitat ever assembled: low fees, fast blocks, and a retail audience primed by play-to-earn made it the default launchpad for a generation of NFT games. The NFTVideoGames registry now tracks 24 verified BNB records, and the chain’s 2021 cohort is the…
Blockchain gaming is eleven years old — older than most people assume, and stranger than the “Axie, then everything died” version. The NFTVideoGames registry now holds dated, evidence-backed records for 165 games whose playable dates span 2017 to this month — asset-tokenization history reaching back to 2015: the games that invented the genre’s mechanics, the…
In 2024, Telegram became the largest game-distribution event blockchain gaming has ever produced: tap-to-earn mini-apps that needed no download, no wallet and no crypto knowledge pulled in claimed audiences of 35, 47, 63 and 300 million players. The NFTVideoGames registry tracks four verified TON records from that wave. Eighteen months on, the measured answer is…
