“Game guilds” have rapidly increased with the spread of BCG and NFT.
As of 2022, it is estimated that the number of BCG players will be 35 million, and the market size will be approximately 600 billion yen. Since the popularity of Axie Infinity, the number of players and the market size have expanded explosively, but compared to the regular game market, the size is still only about 1-2%. It can be said that BCG still has room for growth.
Even if the initial cost is not enough, it can be managed
Currently, there are many communities called game guilds around the world, and the origin of them is the blockchain game (BCG) ``Axie Infinity'' (hereinafter referred to as Axie).
Axie is a BCG that became a big hit in 2021, with the mechanism called ``Play to Earn (a mechanism where you can earn tokens by playing BCG)'' becoming a hot topic.
In order to make money with such Axies, it is necessary to own three NFT monsters, but the drawback is that this requires an initial cost of tens of thousands of yen.
Therefore, a system in which people who own NFTs lend them to people who have difficulty preparing the initial cost is called a "scholarship."
Normally, when lending NFTs as a scholarship, a portion of the tokens the borrower earns through the game will be distributed to the lender according to a pre-arranged agreement. In other words, it is like employment on BCG.
It is said that the gaming guild began when lenders and borrowers came together to take advantage of this scholarship. After that, Play to Earn and scholarships became popular not only in Axie but also in many BCGs, and game guilds became established as places to organize scholarships.
Furthermore, game guilds today are not only a place for matching scholarships, but also a place for people to gather and exchange new information. ing.
The image below is an example of how to use Axie's scholarship in a game guild. In addition to information about BCG itself, you can also learn how to use the wallet and NFT marketplace. Of course, there is no problem in using it to just obtain information without using scholarships.
The diagram below assumes that you will be playing Axie, but the game guild can also be used as reference material for deciding which BCG to play. This is because information on new products and unique tokens is being disseminated every day.
By the way, regarding BCG, which has high expectations, many users have been participating in chat even before its release and it is getting excited. The large number of participants is essential for BCG to be a hit, so please use this as a guideline when choosing titles to play.
