The blockchain industry develops super fast. There are a lot of different decentralized web3 blockchains today. And of them is Hive Blockchain. We already discussed the blogging part of the Hive, and below we will learn about the gaming industry developed under the Hive Blockchain. Also, we will take a look at the best play-to-earn games on Hive.
What is Hive Blockchain?
Hive is an innovative and forward-looking decentralized blockchain and ecosystem, designed to scale with widespread adoption of the currency and platforms in mind. By combining lightning-fast processing times and fee-less transactions, Hive is positioned to become one of the leading Web3 blockchains used by people around the world. More than 126 projects were built on Hive Blockchain and more than 14 of them are games.
What is Play-to-Earn?
The concept behind play-to-earn games is very simple. The players collect cryptocurrencies or Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) produced in the blockchain-based game. Then, players generate income by selling in-game assets, like NFTs, or earning cryptocurrency rewards, both of which can be later exchanged for fiat cash.
Best Play-to-Earn Games on Hive
As you have noticed there are a lot of games on Hive. Let us introduce to you the most popular play-to-earn games on Hive.
Splinterlands
Splinterlands is one of the first games on Hive, and it is one of the most popular games today.
Splinterlands is a unique digital trading card game that allows players to truly own their cards and other in-game assets. Thanks to web 3.0 technology powered by the HIVE blockchain, each card in Splinterlands is a non-fungible token (NFT) owned by a player. That means players can do anything they want with their cards, including battling for rewards, holding them as collectables, trading on the peer-to-peer market, combining to level up, or even burning to obtain Dark Energy Crystals (DEC) and SPS, which are the official in-game cryptocurrencies of Splinterlands.

In order to progress in the game, you will need to raise your level and get more fans. To raise your level, simply play missions, and you will automatically earn XP to level up with.
Illegal Busking gives 10 XP and between 1 and 11 Starbits. Starbits are the main currency in this game, which is used to buy cards and card packs. Other cryptocurrencies can also be used in the marketplace. To get more fans, you can either buy cards that give you permanent fans, like Fan Boost cards, or you can get ‘drunk fans’. You have a chance to get a number of drunk fans every time you complete a mission, proportional to the mission length.
Your total luck affects the maximum number of drunk fans you may get. More total luck = more drunk fans. Drunk fans wake up and forget about you after 12 hours, so be sure to make the most of them!
