Can GameFi Make a Comeback? COC Proposes a Revolutionary Model Inspired by Bitcoin
The GameFi sector is experiencing an unprecedented crisis. As of November 28, 2025, no tokens in this field remain in the top 100 by market capitalization according to Coingecko, with FLOKI ranked at position 155. This decline marks a dramatic contrast to the enthusiasm of 2021, when Axie Infinity generated a wave of hope, and the temporary resurgence of Telegram games in 2024.
**The Historical Wounds of GameFi**
The problems that have plagued GameFi are structural: lack of trust in developers, economic opacity, and difficulty retaining players beyond the initial cycle. Each project promises transparency, but few deliver it. Most "play to earn" games collapsed when tokens lost value, exposing poorly designed economies and unsustainable incentive mechanisms.
**COC and the Verifiable Blockchain Model**
On November 24, Call of Odin's Chosen (COC) was launched, a Telegram game that proposes a radically different approach. Its VWA (Virtual World Asset) mechanism converts all the game's economic data into verifiable information on the blockchain. There is no room for manipulation; everything can be audited in real time.
COC adopts a halving model similar to Bitcoin, creating planned token scarcity. The distribution allocates 84% of tokens to players, emphasizing that the game's economy belongs to its community, not early investors. This approach contrasts with previous projects that concentrated tokens in development teams.
**The Beginning of a New Era?**
If COC's model manages to scale, it could redefine the sector as GameFi 3.0. Verifiable transparency is the missing ingredient from previous generations. It does not promise quick wealth but an ecosystem where the rules do not change after launch. For an exhausted sector, this represents a genuine alternative to repeated failures.
