What is the best crypto mining game out there?
Many people are looking for the best crypto mining game to download and play, so let's look at some contenders.
Revenue from contributing power to the blockchain industry led to the creation of companies such as Marathon Digital, Bitmain, Riot Blockchain, Canaan Creative, Argo Blockchain, Bitfury, Bitfarms, and TeraWulf Inc., among others.
Revenue from Proof-of-Work (POW) cryptocurrencies such as Dogecoin (DOGE), Bitcoin (BTC), and Ethereum (ETH) (before it moved to Proof-of-Stake in September 2022) made these companies millions of dollars.
While many of these companies rely on application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) to mine coins, crypto mining games have provided a perfect opportunity for stakeholders in the decentralized finance economy without the much-needed infrastructure to learn and earn tokens from this recreational activity.
Below is a look at what these games entail.
What is a crypto mining game?
This is where gamers use the gaming systems built by their publishers to mine cryptocurrency.
It is similar to most of the casual games found on smartphones powered by the iOS and Android operating systems from the Apple and Google Play Stores, respectively. The only difference is that they are built on a play-to-earn (P2E) model.
This is a growing sector in gaming that has been forecast to reach approximately $9 billion by 2028, according to Absolute Reports.
By contributing computing power through the game for the verification and validation of transactions, gamers earn virtual assets, which can be converted into mainstream digital assets.
While many publishers have taken advantage of the increasing number of people dabbling in this new way of earning crypto, here are the best games you can consider installing on your smartphone.
What is the best crypto mining game on the market?
There are many games on the market, which will make it difficult to point out the best one. Despite this, CrazyMiner and Crypto Miner Tycoon are among the best in a market that is gradually becoming saturated.
CrazyMiner
Published by Dropout Games, CrazyMiner is set at a time when the market has reached a bubble. As a gamer, your goal is to create the largest warehouse.
Despite this being a game, you still need reliable energy in the form of computing power to be able to accomplish your dream.
As a P2E game, it is housed in the Binance Smart Chain (BSC), and you earn the novel token of the CrazyMiner ecosystem called Power (PWR) when you fight your enemies, with your primary weapon being your energy (computing power).
Like every game, you need to have a strategy in mind before you can complete all the levels. The app, which can be downloaded on the Google Play Store, has more than 9,000 followers on X (formerly Twitter), and has additional channels on YouTube, Discord, Telegram, and Facebook.
Crypto Miner Tycoon
Published by CreativeForge Games, this is a video game that was created to allow users to mine BTC, ETH (before becoming POS), and other cryptocurrencies.
It is a game tailored to bring huge cash flows to gamers, as their earnings can be traded on cryptocurrency exchanges to grow their wealth.
Like the others, it can be downloaded on the Google Play Store and also accessed on Steam and the Apple Store.
Aside from these two, other honourable mentions include, but are not limited to, FWAR, Space Heroes, KRYXIVIA, CryptoNauts, Crypto Coal Game, and Mining Tycoon.
