Cryptocurrency fanatics believe the blockchain and NFT-based gaming industry will headline the next bull run, and it is easy to see why. The sector will be worth a projected $183 billion at the end of 2021, and financial analysts believe it will be worth over $300 billion by 2026. Indeed the blockchain gaming industry is young and poised to record exponential growth in the coming years. Games like Axie Infinity stand out- having the largest market share in the industry- but that may be about to change. CryptoTanks, the new kid on the block, is set to change the narrative, and the game holds many benefits in store for gamers.

The CryptoTanks Project Explained

The early days of the gaming industry featured 8-bit graphic games, usually hosted on Gameboy and Nintendo consoles. Although players loved these games, they had to make way for modern graphics and better gameplay. One popular 8-bit graphic game was Battle City, and it is the game that CryptoTanks models. The Battle City game featured tanks, enemies, and walls, and CryptoTanks takes it further with new locations, tanks, game modes, more missions, the beauty of DeFi and NFTs.

The CryptoTanks project is based on the pay-to-play-to-earn model, albeit very affordable for new players. Built on Ethereum and Polygon, the game combines DeFi and NFTs to give players the perfect experience and earn real cryptocurrency for their time and skills. Every in-game asset is a non-fungible token, which players are meant to collect, equip, trade, or even rent to other players and earn money. In the CryptoTanks ecosystem, almost every action is an opportunity to make real money.

CryptoTanks is powered by the native tokens $TANK, used as the in-game reward and for the shop to purchase NFT's. Players can also stake their $TANK' to earn more $TANK tokens through providing liquidity on Uniswap. There also will be a 3% burn mechanism each time a tank NFT is traded on the marketplace. The tanks are NFTs, which means they are tradable and unique. Furthermore, the burn mechanism will also apply to the shop where users can upgrade or buy addons to their Tanks. The player is responsible for making his tank valuable through upgrades and unlocking features via the Rating game mode.

How to Play CryptoTanks

Just collect a tank and start blasting enemies!

While this sums up the gameplay in the CryptoTanks world, it is more challenging and engaging- it could even be almost addictive. Each player must buy a Tank NFT- a small price to pay- and begin battle with enemies, just like in the Battle City game. Yet, there is more. Players get to complete quests and upgrade their tanks to make them more lethal and more valuable. The gameplay also splits into three battle types: the Rating Battles, Money Battles, and Token Battles.

The Money battles have two basic modes: One Against All and Teamplay. The first is a winner takes all setting, where players pool $TANK tokens together and battle one another. The last man standing wins the pooled tokens. In the Teamplay mode, players can team up with one another to battle other teams.

In the Rating battles, gamers can level up and increase their experience at the cost of earning $TANK. With higher experience, new features like ammo, fuel, and weapons are unlocked, purchased with $TANK.

In the Token battles, gamers get to earn $TANK for completing quests and tasks. Upgraded tanks have a better chance to make more $TANK in this game mode.

What promise does CryptoTanks hold for its players?

A lot. A whole lot of goodies await players.

CryptoTanks is a play-to-earn NFT game, and at first glance, one can see two advantages it holds for gamers. Players earn $TANK for playing, regardless of the outcome of the game. Tank NFTs become more valuable as they win battles and garner experience, such that they can be sold for very high prices on the marketplace.

Additionally, users can earn passive income in $TANK when they stake their $TANK tokens. Additionally, players can buy Tanks and rent them out to other players, earning a share of their winnings as rental commission. Gamers have complete control of their NFT assets, with no interference from the developers, and a wide range of utility for the Tanks is another benefit for players.

A lot is happening in the CryptoTanks world presently. Thousands of gamers have already joined the waitlist for the $TANK public sale. Join the waitlist here and follow Telegram, Discord, Twitter for updates.
