DeFi Kingdoms Challenges Axie Infinity's GameFi Supremacy with NFT Play - The Defiant
Questioning the utility of NFTs as simple collectables may be missing the point. DeFi Kingdom, an entrant to the blossoming GameFi sector, is expanding the definition of NFTs by offering its version of the tokens, called Heroes. They are playable characters that go on quests to earn tokens.

DeFi Kingdoms is the greatest project you've never heard of
It's pretty rare that I get juiced up about a new crypto project. I got excited about Bitcoin and Ethereum back in 2015 after a friend of mine who was a senior software engineer broke down what it all meant and a lightbulb suddenly lit up.

Messari’s 2022 Theses
If a big part of our future lives are spent living in global, virtual, interconnected worlds (the metaverse), then NFTs are some of the primary building blocks for everything in that world... NFTs can, should, and will transcend their underlying blockchains and metaverses... NFTs will impact every sector of the economy and kids will own more stuff that “look like NFTs than physical items.”
The bigger movement in NFTs surrounding community-owned collections of profile pictures, or “PFPs”, which have exploded to $5 billion in sales through Q3 this year. PFPs derive their value entirely from their early communities and their memes.
PFP projects with engaged, talented core community members that contribute to the project’s culture and economy (like Punks’ early NFT adopters), will attract other members. Their owners might even receive preferential access to new projects and events, share community earnings (through airdrops), take on governance tasks, and leverage their PFPs as capital assets (if they become sufficiently liquid). If NFTs continue to rally, more influencers and celebrities will want the oldest PFPs with the rarest attributes, earliest on-chain records, and strongest memes.
Just like brands rely on memes like slogans, images, brand ambassadors, etc. as intangible assets, crypto collectives could leverage NFTs in similar ways, as they have a way of wrapping entire sub-cultures in a single public PFP and gated discord.
In music, film, sports, fashion, gaming, etc. Fan tokens are simply collectibles with member rights. Those rights can be financial (tickets, shared royalties), or non-financial (social signal as a super fan, experiential access).ONE on Messari’s 2022 ThesesMessari's Report on ONE
