As the hottest buzzword in the blockchain industry, Metaverse works as a combination of Virtual and Reality and, in the future may play a more important role with the GameFi in Play-to-Earn (P2E) mode for crypto users. We believe GameFi will provide a channel for users to explore and enter Metaverse, as many internet giants and well-known traditional game enterprises are already testing the waters in this field.
