After years of evolution, the physical and data layer technologies of blockchain have become very mature. The years 2024-2025 will be a bull market for the entire cryptocurrency market and a period of explosive growth in the application layer. Web3 games are one of the most suitable application areas for blockchain and cryptocurrency.
Unlike other difficult-to-understand areas such as DeFi and derivatives, the concept of game coins and game items in traditional games existed long before the emergence of cryptocurrencies. This makes Web3 games a more accessible entry point for ordinary players to understand and engage with. Blockchain games will become an important catalyst for the widespread adoption of Web3 technology.
Since the second half of 2023, there have been occasional hit games in the blockchain gaming sector, and the improvement in game quality is also evident. The focus of blockchain games has transitioned from the previous "Play to Earn" to "Play and Earn". The game's economic system and playability are important indicators.
GameFi Potential Game - Age of Dino

AOD is deployed on opBNB and has deep cooperation and integration with the BNB ecosystem. It has also received support from FunPlus, Xterio, and Imagendary Studios.
Ambitions and Plans of Age of Dino
The most criticized aspect of GameFi is its short-lived nature and the inability to maintain the long-term stability of the economic system. AoD directly addresses this pain point and aims to create a long-lifecycle game that can bring new experiences to all types of players, not just Web3 players, but also Web2 players.
Strategy games themselves have a more stable and solid ecosystem compared to other types of games. The number of players in strategy games may not be the highest, but each player invests the most time, effort, and assets in the game. In Aod, a series of novel features have been designed to keep players engaged. An AMM algorithm has even been introduced to establish a trading market in the system, allowing players to trade conveniently within the game.
The Age of Dinosaurs introduces some randomness to ensure ecological conservation. Just like the many challenges in life, the best results require strategy, patience, and thinking. We strive to make our game rich, vivid, and interesting, as if it brings players into a lifelike experience. The goal of AoD is to establish a highly playable, healthy, and self-balancing economic system that allows AoD to operate in the long term.
According to the official roadmap, the Age of Dinosaurs will officially launch in the first half of 2024, along with the TGE of utility tokens and governance tokens.
