This OG project, DeFi Kingdoms (DFK), is shutting down its chain too. I was one of the very early miners—back then, the daily APY was insanely high. I remember the token skyrocketed nearly 100x within a few months of launch. It was definitely one of the most iconic projects in GameFi. At the time, it was all about earning and farming, but from the peak to now, it’s dropped about 99.98%. Along the way, it went through early investors dumping tokens and the $100M hack of the Harmony cross-chain bridge, which completely wrecked the ecosystem. Back then, DeFi, NFTs, and gaming truly came together, giving countless people their first taste of play-to-earn, on-chain game economies, and community-driven development. Later, many GameFi gold farming projects from the same era showed traces of its influence. DeFi Kingdoms was a true DeFi + GameFi fusion pioneer. Axie Infinity kicked off Play-to-Earn. Stepn reached the peak of Move-to-Earn. Friend brought us SocialFi. http://Pump.fun created a Meme token launch platform.
