GameFi Alliance Brings Industry Voices Together to Shape the Future of Play-to-Earn and Community-Driven Gaming
The GameFi Alliance brought together leaders and experts from the world of Web3 games to discuss and examine how technology is revolutionizing monetization, play-to-earn, and gaming engagement. Organized by VAP Group as part of the Global Games Show and powered by CoinNewsSpan, it served as a platform for debate and discussion on what GameFi means and what changes are emerging.
The highlight of this session was a panel discussion entitled "The Future of GameFi: Monetization, Play-to-Earn, and Community Growth." This discussion covered various aspects of the sustainability and future developments associated with gaming systems based on blockchain technology. The speaker, Konstantin Koshelev, a known CryptoGrandPa and Ecosystem Lead at TONco, spoke about community-driven growth, building a token-based economy on trust, and how gaming networks are aligning towards strengthened reward systems.
The Panel was moderated by Sonny Verueco, one of the founders of PhyGiverse Network. This ensured the discussion was steered in a direction where challenges and adoption were brought to the forefront. The session covered important topics such as retaining players, monetization practices, and the importance of community-based approaches for the successful functioning of play-to-earn platforms.
After that, the program continued with “Stories that Inspire Action,” an open mic event where participants had a chance to introduce themselves and share their projects and ideas. Every individual had 3 to 4 minutes of stage time, and this made it a very interactive and learning session. This open mic event allowed everyone who is a part of the GameFi world to share their voices.
The event ended with an open networking session where attendees were free to engage with speakers and participants.
Developers, founders, investors, and gaming enthusiasts met to exchange insights and explore collaborative opportunities and initiatives for GameFi and Web3 Gaming.
The GameFi Alliance presented itself as a formal side event of the Global Games Show. The alliance re-emphasized the emerging overlap of the fields of gaming, blockchain technology, and the decentralized economy. The discussion of the topic helped to convey how sustainable monetization, community engagement, and innovation-driven growth are key drivers of the future of GameFi and Web3 gaming.
