Once hesitant onlookers have started dipping their toes in the turbulent yet powerful waters of emerging blockchain technology, and increasingly, established companies and technology upstarts are beginning to explore decentralization as both a business philosophy and as a way of structuring their technology. The gaming industry especially, under heavy strain from corporate dominance and a saturated market, is seeking new avenues for growth opportunity, and is pursuing decentralized and open platforms with an increasing fervor.

But simply jumping on board the blockchain train without having anything to offer would be both counter-productive from a business perspective, and a disservice to the movement towards a free, open, and decentralized internet.

To understand why we are passionate about providing broader access to dApps we’ll take a look at some of the diverse ways in which technology startups are implementing blockchain technology in an effort to discover new methods of monetization that will compel the public to inhabit and interact within these networks, including our own technology, BlockHub, a digital distribution platform, marketplace, and community environment that will serve as the home for established dApps, and those still in development.

1. CryptoCountries

CryptoCountries is currently the most successful dApp in Ethereum’s network, overtaking the recently thriving CryptoKitties by achieving a $45-million-dollar-transaction volume within one week. The premise of the game lies in the real ownership of definite, individual pieces of a digitized copy of the world. However, at 4.5 ETH, the barrier of entry is extremely high. In compensation though, because of the finite and very small supply, prices rise incredibly quickly and a profit, at present, is almost always a guarantee.

2. Etherbots

Among the multitude of collection and trading-based games within the ecosystem, EtherBots stand out as the only one that actually provides a gameplay which does not feel like a cuter version of a digital stock exchange. The game fails to offer the “discovery” and “breeding” monetizing appeal that CryptoKitties and CryptoCountries have but it makes up for this by integrating legitimate game-like elements such as customization and battling.
