Currently, there are more than 4,000 dapps running on Smart Chain, of which over 500 are blockchain games.

In the MOMOverse, players can create content, mine NFTs or enjoy other players’ creations, and earn from them. Furthermore, as a player, you can use your NFTs across games created in the MOMOverse as one of the game’s key features is interoperability, or the ability to use the same NFTs and other cryptoassets on different platforms.
As a community-driven game, MOBOX rewards users through innovative tokenomics known as MBOX allocation, MBOX being the game’s native token.
BOMB Crypto
BOMB Crypto is a play-to-earn game where players own a group of BOMB heroes represented as NFTs. These heroes are programmed to search for BCOIN, the game’s native token. During this search, heroes undergo different challenges like going on missions and fighting monsters.
The game has an economic system that allows the players to trade and auction their heroes in a marketplace using BCOIN. This token is used to play, exchange, and trade in the ecosystem, allowing players to be part of the game’s development and governance. It also lets players access special passes to in-game events.
Another unique feature of the game is its simulation calculator which players can use to approximate their daily earnings. These features have made BOMB Crypto gain fast traction, reporting a total of 180,770 users from March to April of 2022 according to DappRadar.

In SecondLive, users can craft their own digital life by creating an avatar and choosing places to live, play, create, and hang out in the diverse 3D virtual space.
The virtual space has many things to choose from, including personal spaces, game rooms, concert halls, and art galleries. This makes SecondLive a unique game to play, and essentially a great resource for creators and users since they can create content and profit from it. For instance, artists can hold exhibitions, and musicians can hold concerts here.
According to the SecondLive team, they are in the process of creating easy-to-use authoring tools so that creators and players can produce content according to their creativity. Some of these include PUGC and UGC (Professional User Generated Content and User Generated Content), which would help the users to customize their spaces to do anything they want. They refer to this approach as a Create-to-Earn model, which enables players to earn from their creations.
