Ronin’s Web3 game pixels explode and statistics reveal a lot.

social web3 MMO, pixel, We made a bold move to Ronin in September.. This has turned into Ronin’s masterpiece, with Unique Active Wallets (UAW) surging over the past 30 days. However, if you look deeper into the analysis, there is much more information you can gather.

Ronin and the Emerging Gaming Empire

Sky Mavis announced in March that it wanted to bring outside games to Ronin.And because of that responsibility, it is not only pixelbut Machines Arena do. axi infiniti Of course, this is what pushed Ronin to its current heights, but it’s pretty much a potbelly for Play-to-Earn (and I can’t see it ever returning to its former form). axi infiniti It indicated danger. If Ronin wanted to progress, at least not without major investments, it could no longer have this as its only gaming project.

So the idea of ​​bringing external games to the network is undoubtedly the right idea. Machines Arena It’s a strong project, and while Ronin still isn’t interested in the game, he’s making progress.

But the biggest gems of the expansion are: pixelAnd it’s not even close.

Pixels: The story behind the statistics

Since we covered pixel‘ Moving to the Ronin Network, I was able to play the game myself and closely monitor its progress. It was on the rise, but over the last 7 days it has gone parabolic. Since this has caught the attention of a lot of cryptocurrency media, we thought we would take a look at the statistics below.

As we know, UAW is a broad and misleading indicator. The first mistake many stores have already made and will continue to make is that UAW equals DAU (Daily Active Users). Absolutely not. Many players will have multiple wallets. Especially if it’s free to play. pixel am. Likewise, a wallet interacting with a game does not indicate that the user is playing the game. play Therefore, daily UAW should not be drawn as a player base for the game either.

The statistics behind the statistics

The first thing to note is pixel You are seeing success and that cannot and should not be taken away from the project. Give a high five to the game developers and Ronin for picking the winner. That said, “over 100,000 UAWs” is rarely the whole story, and fortunately we have access to tools that can help us analyze this further.

Pixel Double UAW
Pixel Double UAWPixel Double UAW This analysis was taken simultaneously with the 7-day UAW graph above.

First, here are the main concerns about the huge UAW numbers in free-to-play games: ~ no The problem here isn’t bot-based stat padding. Many web3 games have this issue, some include: splinterland, which has been actively removing bots from its reported numbers. The important thing here is these crazy numbers. pixel You’re seeing things that don’t look bloated. Only about 1.1% of users are suspected of being bots. That’s good news.

This is very positive, but as you can see in the graph above, user analytics is a mixed bag. Although it is important to emphasize that the numbers are strong regardless of these classifications, the “import-only” category, which makes up 64.34% of UAWs, is interesting. To quote DappRadar’s documentation:

Inflow only 🧑‍💻
This is the wallet that primarily receives funds. For example, users claim earnings, compensation, or other payments.

so, pixel There are two tokens, $BERRY and $PIXEL, and $BERRY is a kind of workhorse that is central to all gameplay. $BERRY is used by players to buy and sell items, resources, etc. The important thing here is that you can receive $BERRY as a daily reward from your game dashboard. So it appears that 64.34% of UAW (also not 64.34% of the player base) are essentially logging in to collect daily rewards and not engage in the gameplay loop.

this sound While it’s neither bad nor good – many people in the game are hedging bets that $BERRY will rise – this is not a scathing revelation. 20.32% of dUAW are everyday players who engage in gameplay rather than simply receiving daily rewards. Also, this 20.32% is closer to 1:1 using your wallet if you play games. This means that from the last log of dUAW: pixel There were approximately 21,303 “players.” It’s really amazing. These are also players who return every day.

It is true that some people may laugh at this breakdown. pixelBut it would be wrong to do so. pixel The UAW numbers nearly three times as many as Ronin’s prize hogs. axi infinitiand is recording almost the same numbers as Mighty. alien world It’s been on the podium for web3 games for years on end. Around 20,000 daily players (my very rough estimate) is very impressive for any game, including web3.
