Highlights
- The metaverse and Web 3.0 are usually seen as very closely linked to blockchain-based gaming
- Crypto Clans is a new blockchain game, and according to its website, it is yet to be launched on smartphones or any web browser
- The game is offering both fungible and non-fungible digital assets under its play-to-earn model
Are blockchain gaming and linked digital assets the hottest trends right now in the cryptocurrency space? The AXS token of Axie Infinity, one of the most popular decentralised games, is reeling from losses this year. But at the same time, it is being anticipated that gaming could be a big part of the metaverse and Web 3.0.
The decentralised internet could give more powers to gamers, who would be able to decide the overall governance of any game by using digital tokens. Last year, blockchain games were one of the major trends, if not the biggest, when the AXS token rose more than Bitcoin or Ethereum. New ventures have now inundated the blockchain gaming market. One of these is Crypto Clans.
Let us explore what is Crypto Clans and what kind of digital assets it offers.
Crypto Clans blockchain game
The game appears to be quite similar to most other blockchain games in that the players can engage in quests and earn digital assets. This makes Crypto Clans a so-called ‘play-to-earn’ game. The website of the game suggests that it is yet to be made available on web browsers and smartphones. According to the project’s whitepaper, Crypto Clans is “inspired” by some other popular game, which has over one billion downloads.
The primary highlight of the game appears to be building clans by engaging in battles. The game offers both cryptocurrency and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) as digital assets. Blockchain games are often likened to metaverse experience, and Crypto Clans is also stressing on this element.
Crypto Clans cryptocurrency and NFTs
First, the Crypto Clans game is very new in the market and the linked cryptocurrency token, CLAN, is yet to make an impact in the market, which is dominated by the likes of Axie Infinity and Decentraland (MANA). The CLAN token can be used to purchase in-game items like NFTs. These NFTs are tradable. Notably, the ‘Crypto Clans Assets’ collection is available on the OpenSea marketplace with four items listed and the floor price is 0.11 ETH.

Popular gaming tokens
AXS and MANA are among the most popular gaming metaverse tokens. Both have a market cap of over US$1 billion, although prices of these tokens have dropped sharply this year. The year-to-date (YTD) losses of these gaming tokens are more than that sustained by Bitcoin and Ether (ETH).

Bottom line
At a time when established blockchain gaming tokens like AXS and MANA are under intense pressure, the future of new game Crypto Clans cannot be predicted. The game is offering both a cryptocurrency and NFTs, which have yet to earn a name in the already-crowded space. Extreme caution is highly recommended.
