Question 1

What is GameFi?

Accepted Answer

GameFi combines games with blockchain features such as tokens, NFTs and sometimes DeFi tools like staking. Players can own in-game items as on-chain assets and, in some games, earn tokens. Whether those tokens hold any value depends on the game's economy and on demand from other players.

Question 2

Can you really earn money playing GameFi games?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes, but not reliably. Rewards usually come as a game token or NFTs, and their value can fall sharply if few new players join or if the token has heavy selling pressure. Treat any earnings as a possible bonus, not income, and never spend money you cannot afford to lose.

Question 3

Are GameFi games free to play?

Accepted Answer

Many are free to start, including Chainers, Olderfall and Clash of Coins, which let you try the game before buying anything. Others expect you to buy NFTs, land or tokens to take part fully. Check the entry requirements on each game's page and watch for network fees when you move assets.

Question 4

What are the main risks of GameFi?

Accepted Answer

Common risks include token price crashes, smart contract bugs, thin liquidity and projects that lose players or shut down. Some games on our list have very low TVL or no listed audits, such as Robots.Farm. Use a separate wallet with a small balance, and be wary of fake sites and wallet-approval scams.

Question 5

How do I choose a GameFi game?

Accepted Answer

Look at whether the game is fun without the token, how rewards are funded, what the token is used for, and whether the team is established. Check the chain, available audits and how easily you can sell or withdraw. Games backed by known studios or brands, such as Illuvium, EVE Frontier or Netmarble titles, are still not risk free.

Question 6

Is GameFi gambling, and is it legal everywhere?

Accepted Answer

Some games with wagers or chance-based rewards, such as Cambria Duel Arena, where players stake ETH or RON, can count as gambling in some places. You must be 18 or older, or 21 or older where the law requires, and you should check that online gambling and crypto games are legal where you live before taking part. Do not bypass age checks, KYC or regional restrictions.

Question 7

What is the largest GameFi dApp by TVL?

Accepted Answer

Civitia Game is the largest GameFi dApp by total value locked, with $47.4K. It is followed by Defi Kingdoms ($33.8K) and Bitparty ($23.7K). TVL figures come from DefiLlama and change daily.

Question 8

Which GameFi dApp has the highest DappsAtlas score?

Accepted Answer

Illuvium has the highest score at 6.8/10, ahead of Chain Games (6.5) and Tevaera (6.5). Scores weigh security, ease of use, fees and features, and are based only on facts we could verify.

Question 9

How many GameFi dApps does DappsAtlas track?

Accepted Answer

DappsAtlas tracks 416 GameFi dApps. Of these, 416 have a full review and 11 report value locked, $160K in total.

Question 10

Accepted Answer
