How to Steadily Earn Money in Blockchain Games? The Project Team Reveals the Dual Profit Logic for Both Players and Projects
**Summary:**
This interview features Leo, CBO of Gamebank, discussing the challenges and future of Web3 games through the lens of their project, Pump Snake. He addresses the core questions of playability and profitability.
Leo explains that Pump Snake is a multiplayer, competitive take on the classic "Snake" game, designed for mass appeal and accessibility. The primary goal is to create an engaging game first; financial and asset-based features are secondary and depend on a strong player base. The project aims to be a gateway for Web2 users into Web3, allowing them to naturally encounter blockchain concepts through gameplay rather than direct crypto education.
Key mechanisms discussed include:
* **"Loss-to-Mine":** Players receive redeemable points for losses, which can be used for blind boxes (containing skins, items), improving retention by offering a reward even for losing.
* **Commercialization:** Plans include in-game transaction fees, subscription services (SVIP), and sales of skins/blind boxes, all designed not to compromise competitive fairness.
* **Future Token:** A token launch is confirmed but will be timed based on market conditions, regulatory clarity, and product maturity to avoid a "death spiral" economy.
* **Fairness:** Paid features (SVIP, ads, blind boxes) are designed to offer cosmetic or convenience benefits without granting competitive advantages.
Leo acknowledges current Web3 gaming setbacks but is optimistic about the long-term convergence of engaging gameplay, blockchain-based asset ownership/value distribution, and AI integration. Pump Snake is currently in a growth phase, focusing on product iteration and user acquisition in Asia before a broader rollout.
