According to recent reports from the Blockchain Gaming Alliance, the gaming sector continues to contribute a huge share of all NFT transactions. The Blockchain Gaming Alliance calculates that more than 22% of all NFT buying and selling happens through blockchain-based games. GameFi is already making progress in different parts of the world, with games like Axie Infinity changing the lives of thousands of players online. The play-to-earn model of blockchain-based games is founded on NFTs. NFTs are not only given away as rewards but are also in-game currencies in blockchain-based games.
With the growth of web 3, the metaverse will act as the major gaming platform. Within the metaverse, NFTs play a very important role because of their uniqueness and originality. It offers true ownership to owners, and they do not have to depend on a specific platform to use their in-game tokens.

These reports go on to show what the future holds for NFTs and blockchain-based gaming on the metaverse.
With $2.23 billion of revenue in the third quarter of 2021 alone, NFTs have come up as a very important economic force in the world. In the coming years, the sector will grow even more as blockchain-based gaming takes over the digital gaming space.
