# Why GameFi?

Blockchain play-to-earn gaming is emerging as a phenomenon. Numerous innovative gaming finance concepts have evolved from this model; for instance, scholarships have garnered significant attention.

In the meantime, the prospects of blockchain games are immense since the whole blockchain-based in-game economy is still in its infancy and just beginning to develop its potential.

1.  There is no dedicated launchpad for blockchain games that allows those interested to gain early access to qualifying games.
2.  There is no game hub to explore standout blockchain game projects or valuable in-game items. 
3.  There is no central repository where players can easily track their earnings and manage their in-game items.
4.  There is no platform that provides comprehensive game finance tools, including trading, funding, and scholarship opportunities.
5.  There is no model that enables owners of game items to maximize the value of their possessions when they are not actively playing the game.

Besides, concerning game studios willing to adopt blockchain, many lack the necessary technical expertise and an effective platform for reaching out to game players or token holders.

That’s why GameFi was created to work out these existing challenges.

# What is GameFi?

GameFi is an all-encompassing hub and one-stop shop for game finance, serving game studios, players, traders, and investors. GameFi will bring the gaming community the promising blockchain game initiatives developed on the BSC and Polygon networks, which host most of the top-rated play-to-earn titles. Simultaneously, GameFi is the first marketplace to enable cross-games trading of in-game items and NFTs.

GameFi is strongly backed by Icetea Labs, an incubation for rising projects such as Faraland and Kaby Arena, and DAO Maker, a launchpad for numerous high-profile game projects. This collaboration is a crucial first step providing a solid foundation for the growth of GameFi's ecosystem.
