Regardless of whether you liked it or absolutely hated it with a passion, you can\u2019t say that Pokemon Go hasn\u2019t had a huge impact on the world of mobile gaming.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It pretty much revolutionized the system by bringing so much attention to the concept of augmented reality on your smartphone\u2019s GPS. This small change broke records at the time, and now we are witnessing what could very well be the next big thing coming out from the shadows.<\/p>\n

We are talking about M2E, or Move-to-Earn games. These games combine the mobile augmented concept with the classic play-to-earn style that we have all come to love by now.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What is Move-to-Earn (M2E)?<\/h2>\n

What really sets this new system apart from all the others out there is definitely the fact that it takes full advantage of the cryptocurrencies and NFTs that it has under its belt.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Axie Infinity<\/a> for example took this concept and added it to the tactical battle genre, bringing in a lot of attention through its use of tradeable assets. This meant that you could use Axie\u2019s NFTs and tokens to trade on the marketplace, making earning online rewards all the more appreciated considering the fact that you could trade those up for real money afterwards.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While most apps nowadays have their very own coins and such, they don\u2019t actually have any value outside of the game\u2019s ecosystem. Look at V-Bucks for example, they are obviously worth something while playing Fortnite, but as soon as you log out of your game the value of the V-Bucks becomes nonexistent.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Through the use of Blockchain technology though, coupled with smart contracts, more and more platforms have decided to make their virtual assets tokenized, aka tradeable. This means that even if you stop playing those games, you can still trade the tokens you won online and make a profit. They don\u2019t lose out on their value, bringing a whole new layer to these games that have never been possible before the emergence of Blockchain technology.<\/p>\n

Many people have also compared M2E with Play-to-earn<\/a> (P2E) games and to some extent, they can rightly do so. The two genres reward players for a certain activity, and the more they perform that activity, the more rewards they will receive.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The difference here though is that while P2E games reward their player base for playing their games, M2E games reward them for actually moving around.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In order to calculate this, M2E games make use of your smartphone\u2019s GPS, accelerometer, gyroscope, proximity sensor, and of course, magnetometer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

They took this idea from apps such as MyFitnessPal and Fitbit yes, but they took it one step further by applying Blockchain technology to the mix. By adding tradeable tokens that the community receives for physical activity, the apps have seen quite a lot of success so far.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
