Crypto Valleys, a blockchain farming game in the ecosystem of NFT trading platform Blur’s Layer2 Ethereum expansion network Blast, has recently gained popularity, leading to a surge in both its gaming token $YIELD and NFTs.
According to data from DexScreener, a data analysis platform, $YIELD is currently the highest trading volume cryptocurrency in Blast, with a trading volume of approximately $13 million in the past 24 hours.
At the time of writing, the price of $YIELD is around $15.60, with a market capitalization of approximately $95 million. These tokens were initially sold within the game at a price of around $0.15 each, showing a remarkable increase.
Last week, Crypto Valleys also launched a series of free minted PFP (Profile Picture) NFTs, which allow holders to earn additional profits within the game. These NFTs are currently trading at a floor price of 0.4 ETH, equivalent to $13.5 million, with a trading volume exceeding $4 million.
So what makes Crypto Valleys attractive to players? How does the game work and what opportunities are there for players to make money?
Crypto Valleys is similar to the popular Ronin blockchain game Pixels in terms of its pixel art style and farming theme. However, in the current version of Crypto Valleys, the gameplay is relatively simple, focusing on allowing players to earn profits.
Users must use the game token $YIELD to purchase NFT seeds, plant them, and wait for harvest to earn more $YIELD and vegetable NFTs. These seeds also have different levels, and different levels of seeds can grow different crops, creating a sense of gambling and triggering users’ FOMO (fear of missing out) mentality. It’s like the concept of crazy blind box openings, where users constantly exchange $YIELD tokens and wait for the next harvest.
In the future, the game will gradually introduce cooking food with farm products, exploration, treasure chests, and other gameplay to allow players to earn more $YIELD rewards through different gaming experiences.
Already, many users are strategizing the Crypto Valleys seeds and crop harvests, indicating that this opportunity has attracted a lot of attention from players. However, whether Crypto Valleys can retain its existing user base in the future remains to be seen.
