Interconnected GameFi, DeFi, and NFT Economies in Cohesive Token Structures.
In the last several years, blockchain technology has developed additional digital economies. Three of the largest components of this new world include GameFi, DeFi, and NFTs. Initially, they appeared as distinct concepts but gradually they are converging. When these three are tied together by means of common token structure, they constitute a strong as well as an interconnected network.
In my opinion, this relationship is defining the future of owning digital and online value.
GameFi is the combination of finance and gaming. In GameFi, the players receive tokens after playing games, solving tasks, winning battles. The tokens are not just a game item but a real person in the world of value and they can be bought or sold.
The name decentralized finance (also known as DeFi) is concerned with banking functions such as saving, lending, and staking, as well as trading without a bank. NFTs on the other hand are one uniquely digital item like a character, a land, a weapon, or artwork. Once all these systems operate with one or similar tokens, the economy is much stronger and more significant.
A token structure will be unified, and a single token can have numerous uses. As a case in point, the token that was earned in a game can be deposited in a DeFi platform or even purchased in the form of NFTs. This facilitates transparency of value across platforms. I interpret it as a possibility to minimize the waste, since the players no longer get tokens that can be used in only one location. All becomes intertwined.
NFTs are also more valued in such a system. An NFT does not only represent a picture or a game item. It has the ability to earn revenue using DeFi by staking or renting. A gaming character NFT has the ability to receive rewards, and the rewards can be re-invested in DeFi. This cycle makes the economy alive and active. I consider this concept to be very exciting as it is rewarding in terms of time and creativity.
The other advantage is user engagement. Players will be more motivated when they understand that their game rewards can be increased with the help of DeFi or sold as NFTs. The developers also gain since a powerful token economy will get more people to use it. Balance is however important. Poor design may result to inflation or unfair benefits.
Finally, the combination of GameFi, DeFi, and NFT economies via the unified token structures forms a simple yet strong system. It integrates play, finance and ownership into a single flow. In my opinion, such a strategy will be the new phase of blockchain innovation, when fun, value, and freedom will actually collide.
