Anyone know how to check the gaming stats for crypto gaming projects?
I'm particularly curious about stuff like:
- Average monthly users
- Yearly and monthly revenue
- Weekly and monthly growth
- Rate of adoption
I remember when Axie Infinity was the top dog in the P2E game scene, they had a lot of these stats available. Now that things are kinda low, I wanna gather this info to figure out if I should put my money into some of the newer games like:
- TownStar
- Illuvium
- Bloktopia
- Wilder World
- Gods Unchained
- Everdome
- Gala
- Vulcan Forged
- Myria
Any insights would be awesome!
Most (if not all) of the stats you need/want are actually generated/summarized by the community themselves via (afaik) API's released by the devs or something similar to that. This should be the case for monthly users or stuff related to that. For the game's specific coin usage, adoption, growth, etc., I believe sites where the coin of the game is registered such as Coingecko or coinmarketcap should be enough as sources. Just, gotta stretch some of that muscle to summarize it all. If they were relatively new though then their coin might not even be registered at all, so you just have to wait for those instances.
If you're THAT lazy, then hire someone who knows how to use the chatgpt plugins so the AI itself can access live public data, and return to you a summarized version of it.
I use CoinGecko all the time and find it useful for many metrics, but I never knew it listed those stats I mentioned before.
There are some more specialized pages that have a ton of stats ( such as DeFi Llama and Statista ) it's just hard to know exactly which ones for crypto gaming.
So let's pick one project for example, Bloktopia. Where exactly in CoinGecko do you find the Stats I requested for this ?

None of those tabs circled have them
I've tried to search a bit with one of the projects you've mentioned but sadly, I haven't found the stats that you're interested in. It seems that it will depend on the devs if they will be vocal about it and will show the data to the public.
I think they'll show it if you try to ask them if they're open about it. But if there's no table that shows it publicly then it's only for them and that's a private matter that they won't disclose unless they go on hype again and boast their stats.
Yes of course one have to take a look these areas to know how the gaming industry stand and why you need to choose them base on the satisfaction received from their data researched upon, it's also very important to consider all these qualities with their reputation before choosing any, though it is believed that some of them can engage a trust pilot review paid services to be used while some have a genuine ratings on their data, these can give more direction to wether to use any one or not base on the level of satisfaction received from their data we research.
Of the several categories that you want to see, of course it belongs to the project, for example "revenue", they must first publish the data they have before we really know. But, to see some important data on a DApp, I suggest you to use DappRadar, they can give you data about Unique Active Wallet (UAW), transactions, volume with 24 hours, 1 week and even the last 1 month time frame.
Below are the stats of some of the Dapps on your list:
- Axie Infinity
- TownStar
- Illuvium
- Bloktopia
- Gods Unchained
- Myria
I remember that Illuvium before is my checklist about the list of blockchain games, that's the time when Axie Infinity is on peak or popular where people can make a lot of money on this blockchain player-2-earn game.
I believe this Illuvium will solve a lot of problems that happened in a lot of blockchain games like governance, tokenomics, or game mechanics.
I think that dapp radar is good enough to get gaming stats and data but to be honest if dappradar doesn't have good accuracy in determining the real time data that owned by those platforms. i still prefer to take crypto rank rather than dapps radar.
You can try to check it out directly by yourself. Cryptorank is far reliable for that,.
well, I gotta say I am now a bit confused looking at some of this data.
I am invested heavily into Illuvium, thinking it's the number 1 gaming project in Crypto, and here the data
for volume and transactions during this bear market is almost flat ! What's more, Illuvium is ranked outside of the top 1000 for games way
below TownStar and Axie Infinity ( a game I thought was already dead ) Axie Infinity by the way is very near the top 10.
Going by CoinGecko Stats ( rankings ) which is what I normally use for when I research a project, TownStar is the one ranked outside of the
top 1000, while Illuvium is near the top 100 ( cryptos , not games ) So what gives ? Am I reading this all wrong ?
So can anybody explain how Gods Unchained, ranked outside of the top 500 by CoinGecko has this much volume and transactions

while Illuvium, a AAA game ranked near the top 100 has near zero transactions ?

I don't use Coingecko as a reference in looking at the performance of a coin/token, for me, Coinmarketcap is better than Coingecko for example in terms of price updates or rankings. On Coingecko it's noted that $GODS is in 516th place, but if you look at Coinmarketcap, $GODS is currently ranked 462nd.
Those are in-dapp stats, not overall transaction performance, of course, if the data collected by Dappradar is not just in-dapp data, this token will have very high transaction performance considering the $ILV token is listed on several top-tier exchanges like Binance, Coinbase and also KuCoin.
CG was ranked it based on the marketcap that owned by the project and it's not based on the activity that owned by the project. That means if taking the activity in the projects actually useless. It has not become one of metric to determine the rank of project.
The illuvium game has not yet lived. you shall not always focus in the activity of platform to be used as reliable matrict to determine the rank of project because CK or CMC didn't use it.
The rank based on the marketcap that owned by the project. that's why you have seen ILV ranked in top 100 while Gods unchained was outside from top 500
In addition to the previously mentioned coingecko or coinmarketcap, I use the website: https://playtoearn.net/blockchaingames
There is a lot of information about given projects and some statistics. You can also find information about airdrops.
I think the radar dapp doesn't really provide an accurate data reference, but it can be used to do research like that.
indeed for more details we have to research it ourselves but radar can make it easier for us to see this.
Even after omitting 'revenue', DappRadar appears unreliable to me, I check stats of dcity game which is one of most active games of hive blockchain and this is what it shows.
Couldn't see anything from that tiny Thumbnail pic.
By the way, does anyone know how to embed pictures properly on each post ? I tried imgur which is used EVERYWHERE , and Bitcoin Forum tells me it can't accept or display imgur links. Very frustrating !
I Invested in Gods Unchained on the Immutable zkEVM L2. This is what I know: you can't believe any of their stats because they're all manipulated. Everything they do goes through their private servers before it's reflected on their "chain" so there's a lot of wash trading, front running, multi-accounting and maximum value extraction (MEV) that takes place before you get to see the numbers. The userbase is fractured into two groups the "whales" who invest in web3 development, and the "pet eaters" who invest nothing and open multiple accounts to farm all the value out of the system. Most of the game's userbase are parasites who suck the life out of the game - very predatory.
