Growing Web3 Gaming Market

The blockchain gaming market has seen rapid expansion in recent years. In 2022, it was valued at over $128 billion, and projections suggest that it could surpass $614 billion by 2030. This growth is largely driven by the rise of the play-to-earn (P2E) gaming model, which rewards players with valuable in-game assets such as tokens and NFTs. These assets can often be traded or sold outside the game, adding real-world value and liquidity to digital rewards.

However, many web3 games face challenges such as high transaction fees, latency, and complex user interfaces, particularly when integrating blockchain wallets. Smash Quest seeks to overcome these hurdles by providing an accessible and enjoyable gaming experience on Telegram, a platform with over 900 million users globally. With its simple and addictive gameplay, Smash Quest is designed to bridge the gap between traditional gaming and web3, drawing in new users to the XProtocol ecosystem.

Tap-to-Earn Games on Telegram

Recent trends in the blockchain gaming space have highlighted the popularity of “clicker” or tap-to-earn games on Telegram. These games are highly accessible and easy to play, attracting millions of players due to their simplicity and engaging mechanics. Smash Quest leverages this growing trend with its tap-based combat system. Players face off against monsters, tapping their way to victory as they progress through the game’s rogue-like adventure.

By participating in the daily leaderboard challenges, players can unlock rewards, including SMASH tokens, exclusive prizes, and bonuses from XProtocol’s partner projects. This competitive aspect enhances player engagement and encourages repeat participation, while also introducing valuable incentives for success.

XProtocol’s Broader Ecosystem

Beyond its fun gameplay, Smash Quest plays a vital role in XProtocol’s strategy to introduce Telegram users to the broader web3 space. Through the game, users experience blockchain-powered infrastructure firsthand, making it easier for them to explore other decentralized products and services within the XProtocol ecosystem.

To ensure a smooth transition into the web3 space, Smash Quest integrates educational elements within the game. Players can gradually learn about web3 wallets and decentralized physical infrastructure (DePIN) phones, gaining an understanding of blockchain technology while enjoying their gaming experience. The reward structure also allows players to become more engaged in decentralized networks, fostering deeper involvement in the web3 ecosystem.

SMASH Token Airdrop and Rewards

As part of the game’s launch, XProtocol has announced a major SMASH token airdrop to early participants. This airdrop will be available to players of Smash Quest, Xardian Node holders, and XForge DePIN phone holders. In addition to tokens, the top players on the game’s daily leaderboard can earn valuable rewards, such as XProtocol nodes and exclusive items from partnering projects.

These incentives help players actively engage with decentralized networks and the XProtocol ecosystem. As they advance in the game and rise up the leaderboard, players gain not only rewards but also experience and knowledge of web3 infrastructure, further solidifying XProtocol’s commitment to mainstream blockchain adoption.
