# GameFi : The Rapidly Growing Market

The traditional gaming industry always had a big virtual item trade market, both inside and outside the games themselves. Weapons, armor, potions and even party hats could cost a fortune and still have no value and longevity outside the gaming industry.&#x20;

Therefore the problem was solved by none other than GameFi. Game Finance, also known as GameFi is a combination of gaming and finance, which will allow gamers to mix business with pleasure: play and monetise. Blockchain ensured ownership, reliability, decentralization and transparency.&#x20;

The GameFi market reached its peak in 2022 and is still growing progressively and offering significantly more utility and quality. The global GameFi market was valued at USD 12.8 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach USD 126.3 billion by 2032, expanding at a CAGR of 29.0% during the forecast period. This growth is attributed to the rising adoption of blockchain technology worldwide.

GameFi, integrates the concepts of decentralized finance (DeFi) with gaming, allowing players to earn, invest, trade, and access financial products and services within virtual gaming environments.

The GameFi also offers an opportunity for small development studios to create new meta-universes and game worlds filled with creatures, events, objects and, most importantly, with their own in-game economy that attracts many players.&#x20;

Gaming projects within the GameFi sector continually evolve and innovate, introducing novel concepts and mechanics that attract a wider audience. Community engagement plays a pivotal role in the success of GameFi projects therefore developers often involve the community in the decision making process, seek feedback and implement community-driven initiatives.&#x20;

This collaborative approach ensures that the games remain dynamic and responsive to player preferences and needs. Surprisingly this approach also solves a problem mentioned in the first part or the whitepaper, as players get what they lack in current traditional video games: focus on their needs.
