The Future of Crypto is Gamified

One interesting conclusion from the last crypto bull market is how close projects end up gamifying any single experience they've got, aka converting them into games.

PFP projects used quests (basically on-chain microgame missions) to entice engagement or unlock access.

They set up Discords, originally the home of game communities.

Users developed their own jargon that transcended single projects or platforms—a mainstay of the hardcore gaming world.

Then things got explicit. When the NFT bubble burst, Bored Ape and others realized there was nowhere else to go except the natural conclusion: try to become game companies.

Why? Gaming is one of the few categories that is better at using triggers to get users to take action and ultimately buy something.

So expect to see more and more crypto projects adopt gaming elements in the future. It's not just a trend, it's the natural evolution of the space.
