Harmony’s cost-effective and scalable blockchain will have more exciting gaming dapps to join the ecosystem. These games range from business simulations to third-person shooters, offering a wider selection of gaming dapps to Harmony’s users.
Summary:
- Harmony (ONE) will have more exciting gaming projects to join the network.

The broader cryptocurrency market continues its downturn, with dapp activity hitting the lowest point this year. According to DappRadar Industry Report May Edition, 2.22 million daily Unique Active Wallets (UAW) connected to blockchain dapps in May, a 5% decrease month-over-month (MoM), although still 32% higher than in May 2021.
However, some industry leaders believe the recent market collapse of cryptocurrency could help eliminate unqualified market participants from the nascent industry. This may also reduce market speculation and allow crypto users to focus on projects’ long-term value.
When building a sustainable blockchain ecosystem, Harmony has achieved several milestones in enriching its ecological platform diversity. Game dapps continue to join Harmony, and the latest ones are Crypto Arcade, Speed Star, and Rocket Monsters.
Crypto Arcade – a cross-chain arcade-style metaverse
Crypto Arcade is a cross-chain metaverse that features nostalgic arcade elements. In addition, the virtual world brings users a mixture of 2D and 3D/VR exploration, where users can easily switch between the two modes.
Venturing around the space, users will realize Crypto Arcade is much more than just arcade games. The team aims to build this virtual world suitable for online meetings, games, social events, and other digital life use-cases.
Speed Star – ranch, breed, train, and earn
Speed Star is a horse racing-themed play-to-earn game powered by the Unity engine. In the game, players can choose a career path and build their racehorse ranch, raise, train, and breed horses. These activities all serve the ultimate goal, to top the race and win great prizes. Since players need to work hard to stand out in competitions, the team behind Speed Star came up with a unique value proposition for the game, work-to-earn.
Three tokens facilitate the in-game economic system, JOC, SPEED, and STAR. They all serve different purposes. JOC is used to restore energy from the player’s activities and buy items from the Marketplace. SPEED serves as the base currency in the game. Players can use these tokens for ranch development and expansion, raising horses, hiring other players, and betting on racehorses. Finally, STAR, the governance token of Speed Star.
Rocket Monsters – an immersive third-person shooter game
Rocket Monsters is a play-to-earn shooting game with immersive visual effects, thanks to the powerful Unreal Engine 5. It’s worth noting that all the in-game assets are playable NFTs, including various characters, weapons, and vehicles.
The game engages players in Player vs Player and Player vs Environment modes. Moreover, robust and sustainable tokenomics is designed to provide players with multiple options in Play and Earn. For example, players can compete in various matches and races for in-game tokens and NFT drops.
One of the essential in-game NFT assets is the Monster characters, a group of power-hungry Bears that will remind you of the famous art toy, Be@rbrick. There are currently 7000 playable NFT characters and counting.
Final Thoughts
Notably, the Harmony team has always put great effort into laying a solid foundation for a future decentralized digital life. As a result, over the past few months, Harmony‘s gaming sector has witnessed continuous expansion. Thanks to its high throughput with low latency and cost, more and more gaming dapps favor Harmony as the infrastructure for hosting their products.
Apart from that, existing dapps have maintained their traction with crypto users. For example, the number one dapp on Harmony, DeFi Kingdoms, has recorded a $30 million trading volume over the last 30 days, an increase of 54%. Likewise, MarsColony registered a 27% 30-day user growth and a 53% transaction increase.
