Card-based crypto games, where players collect and battle NFT cards, were legitimized on November 7, 2021 by Axie Infinity (AXS), one of the most successful GameFi projects to date with the highest market cap of $10.2 billion. Based on Footprint Analytics data on NFT card games, let’s interpret the statistics for the next 3 metaverse coins that can receive AXS.
3 metaverse coins that can replace Axie Infinity
What is Splinterlands?
Splinterlands was released in 2018 by Matthew Rosen (former lead developer of Ryzing) and Jesse Reich (Badische Anilin-und-Soda-Fabrik, former employees of BASF). The game is based on the Hive Blockchain and closed a $3.6 million funding round in July 2021. Splinterlands has two types of tokens. One of them is SPS, a governance token on BSC, and DEC, the circulating currency of Splinterlands, which is used to purchase in-game assets, Dark Energy Crystals.
How to play Splinterlands?
Splinterlands players can buy and collect their cards (NFTs) and make different combinations to play with others. The game is similar to Hearthstone. To get started, users need to spend $10 to purchase a Spellbook. Each Spellbook is an NFT with a unique number.
Players can then follow 4 methods:
- Complete daily missions to earn season rewards. Each season lasts about 14 days.
- Earn rewards by playing against, trying out or participating in tournaments.
- Complete basic missions and wait for airdrops (SPS).
- Generate income by renting NFTs, land and equipment.
Battles are played with 6 monster cards and 1 summoner card per turn. As a reward, players are awarded cards and DECs if they win the game.
Statistics about Splinterlands
Token price
DEC and SPS have risen and fallen roughly the same as last year. The highest prices were around October 14. It has fluctuated ever since. In general, he follows the market trends.
Splinterlands’ operations overall are on a steady uptrend, in line with a solid project development path. With 98.97%, it is the game with the most GameFi transactions in the last year on the Hive Blockchain.
Looking at the number of transactions in the last year, the first half of the year was generally relatively average, but saw a massive 900% increase in August. One of the reasons for this is the explosive interest in GameFi and the growth brought on by a favorable industry.
Users
As of March 20, Splinterlands has 10 million users – the highest number for all card games and 14.7x Axie Infinity. The large increase is consistent with the change in transactions, both of which began in August. It is now growing at a relatively steady pace.
What is Alien Worlds? Metaverse coin TLM analysis
Alien Worlds is an interstellar space game designed by Dacoco GmbH in 2020. Published on WAX and BSC, it supports cross chain bridging to Ethereum and is the first game to bring liquidity mining to NFT games. The game’s cryptocurrency is Trillium (TLM), an ERC-20 token that can be mined and pledged for rewards. Holding TLM allows you to participate in the management of a planetary DAO and is also the currency in circulation for purchasing upgrade assets.
How to play?
Players can explore six planets in Alien Worlds. Each planet is a DAO, choose its characters and planet and mine liquidity to get TLM and NFT assets. Or join battles to win prizes.
There are three main types of games.
- Mining hub: Players participate in liquidity mining to earn TLM and NFT assets.
- Quests: Players buy ships and send them on quests to earn rewards.
- Thunderdome battle: Player chooses Minions and Weapons to fight others. Winner receives TLM and NFT assets, but Losing Minions lose health and weapon quality.
Both Mining Hub and Thunderdome Battle require players to think about troop design. Equipping minions and weapons to maximize TLM and NFT assets within a given time frame and win battles can increase players’ self-confidence and sense of accomplishment.

The other management token, BABY, is the same as BabySwap’s token and does not represent The Crypto You’s data performance, so it will not be analyzed.
