Gods Unchained is a web 3 free to play nft game that uses the gods token to buy and sell nfts, as well as upgrading your nfts used in the game. Currently you can get 10 gods tokens by using my referral code and playing a number of games (think 11+ or so depending on win rate). In addition it's the weekend tourney which has its own prizes and rewards, so it's a great time to give it a try (info video linked below). You will need to connect a wallet, and metamask appears to work seamlessly.
If you're looking for the next game to play, Gods Unchained is a great game that you should check out. Sign up using with my referral code: GhgGsYwOnq on the website godsunchained.com/account/register, and we both get 10 gods tokens :)
So I thought I'd also write about the tokenomics of the gods token since you will end up holding the token if you play the game as they reward players with the token and nfts for free for achieving a certain amount of wins and soon, for upgrading and playing with your nfts during the week. In addition they have added staking rewards so your stash of gods could grow! Gods are also used on the IMX nft exchange for a wide variety of NFTs (see link below).
I've written previous posts about the game and how to play it, but what about the long term value of the gods token itself???
Gods is a small cap crypto with only an $8.4 million market cap, so as you would expect, it can be quite volatile, and is down around 90% year to date as a lot of small cap cryptos are in this bear market. The gods token has a fixed supply at 500,000,000 with 34% earmarked for reward payouts for those who play the game. It is available on numerous exchanges including coinbase (whom is also an investor in the project). Alas the token being issued at the top of the last bull market in 2021 means there are a lot of people underwater (though they probably have sold by now).
Gods Unchained has a strong management team, led by Chris Clay, former game director of magic for The Gathering Arena, and in partnership with ImmutableX and investors such as Galaxy Digital, should have a strong support system to continue to develop the game both for enjoyment and reward of players and the overall business model of web 3 gaming (see link below). That part of the cost of development comes from the issuance of gods tokens is less positive as the price has fallen so much. Gods also has an active social media presence including discord and their own platform (GU link below) where you can research which cards are doing well and your overall stats, as well as their own blog-tons of game info available if you like to investigate those things.
Could Gods be a profitable investment? Perhaps, but tough to tell with so much competition in the market place and more coming. I know I like the game and as the currency of the game I will be holding some gods (and you are currently rewarded with the IMX token for trading in the imx nft marketplace). I would guess they will be a survivor but for the token to thrive they will need to be one of the top games in the future. They continue to evolve so we'll see what they look like in a few years. I doubt the nfts will have any value outside the game setting but I find them to have beautiful artwork and interesting inherent strategies unique to each card.
So with that all being said, 10 free gods tokens will give you a nice head start, as well as the free cards they give you, so this may be a great weekend to give the game a try!!! Love your thoughts and feedback on the game if you try it.
Thanks for reading and feel free to share this opportunity with friends.
