4 best android games to earn crypto coins and NFTs

There are many Android games that allow you to collect crypto coins or NFTs that you can exchange for money afterwards. We discuss the four best games for your phone and also explain what you should pay attention to so that you don’t fall into a trap.

Crypto and NFT Games

Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum have been growing in popularity since last year, and NFTs have also been gaining in popularity in recent months. NFTs are unique tokens based on a digital work. You can collect and sell them. In the articles below we explain what you need to know about crypto and NFTs.

Meanwhile, more and more Android games are popping up where you can’t trade crypto coins or NFTs, but you can collect them. One of the first and most famous is CryptoKitties that appeared in 2017. You can breed virtual cats with it and sell them in exchange for crypto coins. Those coins appear on a wallet that you link to the game and you can exchange them for money afterwards. ‘Play-to-earn’ is what this niche genre of games is sometimes called.

The revenue model

Crypto and NFT games are often free to play, but if you examine these apps, you will notice that the revenue model for the developers is mainly in the in-app purchases. You can earn a limited amount of crypto coins, but the developers hope that players in the game spend even more on virtual items. In some cases, games also contain ads that make the developer money.

As long as you avoid spending money effectively, crypto and NFT games can be quite fun. Start with realistic expectations, because obviously you can’t get rich playing a free game. You usually get very small amounts of a certain crypto coin. These are the four funniest crypto games.

1. Crypto Planet

In Crypto Planet you are on a space mission and on a planet you can mine valuable crystals. By collecting those crystals you will be rewarded with crypto coins Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin and other cryptocurrencies. You can transfer those coins to an external wallet, but only if you have reached a certain limit. You only earn small amounts and that makes sense since it is a free game. The game comes with daily challenges that keep Crypto Plent interesting.

2. CryptoPop

We all know the famous game Candy Crush. Well, Cryptopop works about the same, but for each level you play, you get paid in a very small sum of crypto coins: Ethereum to be precise. The amount will seem miniscule at first, but when it is large enough to liquidate, it is a nice bonus. To collect the coins, you must first link your wallet. Cryptopop also contains clearly visible advertisements, because this way the game can pay you while playing.

3. Merge Cats

In Merge Cats, you can collect crypto coins in your wallet by collecting cute virtual cats, upgrading them and then merging them into one. The setup is very simple and relies mainly on the cute appearance of the cats you collect.

Merging cats into one gives you so-called LIS tokens, which is the crypto currency that the game uses. You can exchange it for Bitcoin or Ethereum and then for money. You can also spend LIS tokens on in-game items or you can buy the crypto coins for real money and that is the revenue model of this game. Merge Cats will soon also work with NFTs, but what that will look like is not yet known.

4. CropBytes: A Crypto Farm Game

CropBytes is like the well-known game FarmVille, but with crypto coins that you can earn. You harvest grain or vegetables and raise animals to sell them in exchange for crypto coins. The game also works with NFTs, as you can collect cute creatures that most resemble guinea pigs. You can also engage in battles with these creatures and they can increase the yield of your farm.

Crop Bytes has been around since 2018 and has gone through many changes since the game’s launch, including the introduction of NFTs and graphical improvements. This game does come with a drawback. While CropBytes is a fairly comprehensive game, it encourages its players to buy in-game items a little too often.
