3、Games on BNB Chain
We are not surprised to find that four of the top five games have developed a multi-chain ecosystem. Compared with DeFi protocols, Games still have a long way to go to create a multi-chain ecosystem. As a result of the success of Alien Worlds and Splinterlands respectively, WAX and Hive are the two largest GameFi chains by number of transactions. However, today we just want to expand our analysis about the BNB chain. The future doesn't always belong to the newest thing.
BNB is the richest chain in terms of the most new game projects per week in the gaming ecosystem, with a proportion of 34.57%, surpassing ETH’s 30.91%.

BNB is the largest chain by daily volume now, and MOBOX dominates its ecosystem. Maybe its potential is unlocked since it starts to host a standout game.
source: https://www.footprint.network/@Bond/GameFi-Overview
MOBOX has built an infrastructure that builds on the growing DeFi ecosystem and combines it with Gaming through unique NFTs. There will be games where you don’t actually spend your money to purchase in-game resources or heroes, but rather a saving’s account where the more you save the more resources you earn and the more heroes you can summon.
When we spread out the games in BNB ecosystem, MOBOX with 24h volume＄200.48k is the top one. More striking thing is the balance of MOBOX, which is ＄44.13m.

4、Summary
The real financial nature of Gaming has not yet been developed. We once analyzed and concluded that GameFiers are not DeFiers. As such games like MOBOX that combine Game and DeFi appeared, the intersection of the two groups will be greatly mobilized. And as more and more games choose cross-chain development, this kind of competition and collision between chains will stimulate different creative sparks. New things about games are coming soon!
