Ethereum-based “play while earning” game will become a growing source of passive income

Ethereum-based “play-just-earning” game is shifting from speculative token economics to a sustainable “play-just-earning” model, with 4 million wallets participating in blockchain games every day. Layer 2 solutions like Arbitrum reduce transaction costs to $0.02, thereby increasing mobile penetration, while Ethereum’s Pectra upgrade enhances scalability. The industry faces challenges of user retention and platform fragmentation, but shows strong growth potential, with a CAGR of 29.8% by 2035 and a market size of US$83.26 billion.
