Link Accounts to Claim TOWER for Crazy Defense Heroes Now - Play to Earn

Animoca Brands now allows users to link their Crazy Defense Heroes account with their crypto wallet, which will soon allow them to claim TOWER rewards. To link these two systems, users need to login a browser and then link their account through a web3 wallet like Metamask. Make sure to do this before August 4th!

Gamers who have been playing Crazy Defense Heroes for a couple of months, will probably know about the promise to add play-to-earn mechanics to the game. Players who earn enough experience points during a month, will share in a prize pool of TOWER tokens. In June this prize pool was $17,000 worth of TOWER tokens.

However, so far there was no way to claim these rewards. As a result the entire system remained a bit vague. The ability to link the mobile game account to an Ethereum crypto wallet, shows there’s progress. Users who link their account before August 4th, will be able to see how much TOWER tokens they’ve earned so far.

If you do not link your MetaMask to your Crazy Defense Heroes User ID before 8 a.m. (UTC) on 4 August 2021, you forfeit your right to claim rewards for February, March, April, and June. Forfeited TOWER tokens will be shared among eligible players who have completed the linking process.

A quick guide:

Download and create a MetaMask wallet (skip this if you already have a MetaMask wallet)
Go to crazydefenseheroes.com
Click on “Connect”
Log in to your Crazy Defense Heroes account on the website (must be the same account you used during the play-to-earn events)
Link your Wallet to your Crazy Defense Heroes User ID on the website

More TOWER earning event in July and August

It’s a bit short notice, but gamers who are playing Crazy Defense Heroes this month can also earn TOWER tokens. Everybody who gathers more than 250,000 XP, will be eligible for the rewards. In both July and August players will share 750,000 TOWER tokens in rewards. That’s $13,600 per month at the current rate of $0,018 per TOWER token.

Gaming x DeFi x Play-to-Earn

The rise of blockchain technology paves the way for new business models in gaming. Play-to-earn is the next evolution of free-to-play, changing consumers from cash machines into economy contributors. It’s not without reason that a project like Axie Infinity labels itself as a digital nation. In a play-to-earn game there can be different layers, where top level players rely on farming activities from smaller players.

Overall we’re seeing a merger between financial markets and gaming, as play-to-earn brings a game economy into the real world. Technically it would be possible to make a living from playing a game. However, philosophically you might wonder whether we would still call this a game.

At the same time we’re seeing financial products adding layers of gamification. Yield farming is an example of that. In addition the user interface of Sushi Swap, Doki Doki Finance and Cometh tap into gaming and…
