On March 23, Ronin, the public chain behind the chain game Axie, lost more than $600 million worth of crypto assets due to a hacker attack on its verification node. However, some time has passed since the hacking incident, and the secondary disaster is still not over. Axie's data has declined across the board. As of April 12, the floor price of native NFT in the Axie game dropped to US$17.62, a drop of 60.56% in the 30th day. The overall transaction volume of the NFT in the game dropped to US$60.99 million, which was nearly halved within the 30th day, a drop of 46.87%. In addition to the NFP trading market, the secondary market data of NFT tokens is also a mess.
On the morning of April 12, Axie fell to $44.35, a drop of more than 30% in two weeks. The hacking incident intensified the selling sentiment among traders and investors, with daily game revenue falling by more than 99.7% from its peak. Axie's game revenue reached its peak in August 2021, with the highest daily revenue reaching $17.5 million. After August, the overall revenue of the game began to decline. Until April 12, Axie's monthly revenue only dropped to 41,700 US dollars. As player income gradually decreased, what about the average players of Axie? , also followed by a descent.
From the above data, it is not difficult for us to draw a conclusion. Axie's appeal to players is gradually declining. In other words, Axie is losing users. For a game product, users must be the core part. Those who win users will win the world. This has always been a wise saying in the blockchain game industry. Any chain game that wants to become bigger and stronger cannot do without the power of users. With the loss of users, Axie, the king of chain games, gradually went downhill. However, the inability to retain users is a common problem in the field of chain games. From the original CryptoKitties to Axie, there is no doubt.
The playability of chain games has always been a flaw. The playability is insufficient. The economic model has collapsed. This is a foundation for maintaining the economy. When the playability gradually increases, the re-explosion of chain games will be just around the corner. I believe that by then " The future direction of "A crabs" will become increasingly clear.
