From the CryptoKitties craze to the 2021 market downturn, blockchain gaming was all the buzz. Since then, things have cooled down a lot. The question remains, is GameFi still on the decline, or is it just changing? In this episode of Decentralize with Cointelegraph, we explore the state of GameFi in 2024 with Ash Hodgetts, CMO of the Undeads game. Clicker games have been grabbing headlines with the success of Hamster Kombat and Notcoin, but are they the future of the space? We'll also look at how important player communities are in this new era of GameFi, and take a look at the changing landscape of play-to-earn models.

Join Humpty in this last episode of Crypto Consumer Chronicles as he speaks with Yuki and JackAlpha from beyondClub. The conversation revolves around the topics of loyalty programs, on-chain data, community building, and the Japanese crypto scene. The guests discuss the limitations of traditional loyalty programs and the potential of on-chain loyalty programs to offer interoperability, liquidity, and reward distribution. They highlight the importance of building communities and creating non-financial incentives for users. The guests also mention the active NFT and GameFi scenes in Japan and how Japanese companies are experimenting with NFTs and integrating them into their experiences. The conversation concludes with a discussion about the new features and games in the check-in app. Check-In is launching property NFTs that represent physical locations to create a games layer on top of check-ins. The goal is to make check-ins sustainable and fun by applying game mechanics. Property NFT owners can earn points when others check in to their location. Check-In will airdrop 15,000-20,000 property NFTs to early users and Farcon attendees. They also plan to collaborate with different city channels for curation campaigns. The onboarding process will be made easier by allowing users to sign in with Google or other sign-in methods.   Project Socials: https://warpcast.com/beyondclub https://x.com/beyondClub_xyz Guest(s): Yuki, Jack Alpha Guest Socials: Yuki: https://warpcast.com/yuki https://x.com/yukiw_eth

In this episode, I speak with Sharon Paul, Co-founder of Headquarters (HQ.xyz), an on-chain business account. Sharon is a Singaporean entrepreneur and has spent many years advancing the Web3 and payments infrastructure space. She is a founding member of StraitsX, a leading stablecoin issuer and fiat-crypto ramp and now serves on the Singapore Fintech Association's Web3 Subcommittee. Through this work, Sharon realized that despite the rise of on-chain businesses like stablecoins, DeFi, and GameFi, Web3 businesses still rely heavily on traditional banking and payments for daily operations. Sharon founded HQ.xyz in 2022 to help Web3 businesses manage their finances seamlessly across tokens and fiat. As compliance becomes crucial for Web3, HQ.xyz also streamlines treasury reporting of digital assets. In 2022, HQ.xyz raised $4.5M in pre-seed funding led by MassMutual Ventures, Forge Ventures, and Crypto.com Capital. You can learn more about them by visiting HQ.xyz.
