Technology will dictate the next NFT surge, and both GameFi and art projects stand to benefit differently. GameFi is poised for a breakout if it leverages advancements like zero-knowledge rollups or cross-chain interoperability. These reduce costs and enable complex in-game economies where NFTs (e.g., skins, weapons) hold real utility. Projects integrating AI for dynamic gameplay or AR/VR for immersion could capture mainstream attention. Investment-wise, GameFi’s growth potential is massive—blockchain gaming revenue hit $4.6B in 2024—but execution risks loom, as many projects prioritize profits over player experience.
