During the pandemic and global lockdown, the popularity of computer games increased significantly, fostering the development of the GameFi technology sector that combines entertainment with real tools for earning money. Applying blockchain solutions allows players to earn tokens for completing tasks and use them to buy artifacts, pump a hero, exchange them for other cryptocurrencies or for fiat money.
Earnings in games can be really effective, considering the value of some tokens reaches $1000. We have compiled the top GameFi tokens that are worth knowing in 2021-2022.
