Problem analysis and future vision for GameFi: A transition from GameFi to DeFi gaming

Abstract

The increasing popularity of GameFi, a combination of gaming and financial models, has led to the emergence of certain problems with current financial models that can only be overcome through a transition towards de-game, or full-on-chain games. This paper provides an overview of the history and financial models of GameFi, identifies pain points on the path of transition from GameFi to de-game, such as capacity and TPS, and presents a concept for a de-game with achievable performance levels. Both single and double currency models have limitations that prevent them from reaching their full potential, demonstrating the need for a transition to de-game, capable of offering unique gaming experiences and financial rewards. Overcoming pain points such as capacity and TPS will be essential in achieving this transition. Proposed solutions include using sharding technology and optimizing smart contract architecture to enhance system capacity and TPS. Ultimately, this paper highlights both the challenges and opportunities presented by GameFi, proposing the transition to de-game to overcome the limitations of current financial models. Addressing critical pain points such as capacity and TPS, our proposed solutions offer feasible approaches to building reliable on-chain gaming systems. The future vision of GameFi in the form of de-game offers a promising outlook for the gaming industry, where players can engage in immersive games with financial incentives.
