What is GameFi ROI?
GameFi (Game Finance) combines gaming with decentralized finance, allowing players to earn cryptocurrency through gameplay. A GameFi ROI Calculator helps you determine whether a play-to-earn (P2E) game is financially viable by analyzing:
- Initial Investment: Cost of NFTs, characters, or land required to start playing
- Time Investment: Hours per day and days per week you'll play
- Token Earnings: Daily cryptocurrency rewards from gameplay
- NFT Economics: Breeding, upgrading, and reselling NFTs
- Scholarship Programs: Sharing earnings with scholars (like Axie Infinity model)
- Break-Even Analysis: How long until you recover your initial investment

Key Metrics Explained
Break-Even Time

Hourly Rate
Your effective earnings per hour of gameplay. Compare this to your regular job or minimum wage to determine if the game is worth your time.
Scholarship Model
Lending your NFTs to other players (scholars) who play on your behalf and share earnings. Typical split is 30-40% to scholar, 60-70% to NFT owner.
Risk Score
Composite score (0-100) based on price volatility, ROI, break-even time, and time commitment. Higher scores indicate higher risk. Score above 70 = high risk.
