Discover how GameFi.org revolutionized IDO investing and what's coming next in the ever-evolving crypto landscape.
The Journey of Building Wealth with the Community
It’s been over three years since GameFi.org launched, bringing 100+ IDO investment deals to a family of 200k+ KYC-ed users.
Back in 2021, during the bull run and the rebound in 2023, we witnessed some of the most mind-blowing returns, with early deals delivering up to 109.13x ROI!
As one of the OG launchpads, we didn’t just ride the wave—we led it. GameFi.org was at the forefront of the Play-to-Earn trend, helping our community grow their wealth and thrive.
How Did We Get Here?
In fact, the advent of IDO (Initial Decentralized Exchange Offering) launchpad changed the game for crypto fundraising.
Before blockchain, fundraising was reserved for big corporations and exclusive investors. Then came ICOs (Initial Coin Offerings), opening early-stage crypto investment to everyone. While profitable, ICOs were risky, with no oversight or protections for investors.
That’s where IDOs came in, offering a safer, more structured environment for retail investors. They can get the coins they want before the Token Generation Event (TGE), similar to pre-market listings on centralized exchanges these days. GameFi.org joined this wave early, creating a trusted platform that provided thorough project vetting and refund policies to protect investors.
Through our efforts, early investors saw life-changing returns, turning overnight millionaires. We didn’t stop there. As pioneers of the Play-to-Earn trend, owning the domain GameFi.org, we helped define and shape the term “GameFi,” which remains a lasting trend in crypto. To brief, our success stemmed from early action, constantly adapting to emerging trends, and building a community that trusted us to deliver wealth-building opportunities.
What’s Next for GameFi.org?
Let’s be honest—the market today is tough for launchpad. Back in 2021 and early 2022, when the market was red hot, the crypto space saw $12B per quarter in project funding, with a limited number of startups.
Now, the market is saturated with crypto projects, & the fund flow decreased by half due to bearish conditions, making it harder for projects to break through.
We’re working harder than ever to find quality projects, being more selective and stricter to protect our investors. But that’s not enough.
We’re constantly evolving, watching for the next big trends. As GameFi slows down, we’re expanding into areas like RWA, DePIN, AI, and Telegram Mini-apps.
Our mission from day one has been clear: Building solid infrastructure and creating useful tools to support Web3 games. While we started by offering advisory and launch services focusing on GameFi, we won’t stop there.
We’re ready for the next season. Are you ?
