The Key to Breaking the GameFi Dilemma: Meeting Multilayered Needs

The fundamental reason why the GameFi sector performed poorly in the last round is that it overly emphasized financial attributes while neglecting the higher-level needs of human nature. To achieve a true breakthrough, GameFi projects need to transcend the layer of demand, not just the layer of crowd.

Time is a key indicator of whether a product meets user needs. Whoever can satisfy more levels of user demand will occupy more of the user's time. Therefore, the competitors of GameFi projects should not be limited to other GameFi projects, but rather all choices for the user's disposable time.

To achieve healthier development, GameFi projects should follow the ratio of "70% Game + 20% Fi + 10% Meme:"

• 70% of the focus is on the design of the game itself, paying attention to players' immersion time.
• 20% of the Fi elements serve as an incentive to attract new users.
• 10% of the Meme elements allow players to participate in creation and find a sense of belonging.

In terms of innovation, it is not necessary to go completely from 0 to 1; a "1+1+1" style of combinatorial innovation can be adopted. By combining and stitching together various proven demands, we can establish an internal cycle that reduces risks while satisfying diverse needs.

Cards Ahoy is a case worth paying attention to. It achieves a 1+1>2 effect by combining card and auto-chess gameplay, making innovations in both gameplay and economic model design. This combination-based innovation is expected to become a trend in the new round of GameFi innovations.

Overall, GameFi projects should return to the essence of human nature and meet the multi-layered needs of humanity. By combining innovative approaches and a reasonable Game-Fi ratio, more vibrant products can be created to gain an advantage in future competitive timelines.
