Unlockd is supporting the growth of the industry, which is faster each day.
That’s especially true in gaming, where we’re seeing a major revival…
The GameFi Rennaissance
After a period of slowed adoption, blockchain gaming is seeing a resurgence.
This momentum is propelled by fundamental shifts:
- Compelling gameplay beyond basic P2E (studios that raised huge amounts of money are now focusing on good games)
- Maturing tokenomics and sustainability models
- Improved scalability as L2s gain traction
- Mainstream brands exploring web3 gaming
- Blockchain gaming infrastructure developing fast (Unlockd, for example, provides liquidity for gaming NFTs)
- Regulatory clarity taking shape
As GameFi regains its mojo, the need for NFT liquidity will surge.
🔓 Players need funding and ‘Buy Now, Pay Later’ tools to acquire assets. Guilds must optimize treasury management.
That’s where Unlockd comes in. Our NFT lending unlocks liquidity for gaming NFTs without requiring a sale.
We already support top collections like Parallel Avatars, Heroes of Mavia (Land), Otherside Kodas, and Pixelmon. Azra Games ‘The Hopeful’ is the latest addition.
For guilds and gamers, this means instant access to loans using NFTs as collateral. They get liquidity to acquire new assets without losing utility or community benefits.
As blockchain gaming evolves, we’ll continue serving as the go-to liquidity platform for players, collectors, and guilds. NFT finance is critical infrastructure that will fuel growth.
Let’s get this, fellas.
Your pals,
The Unlockd Team.
