Spectrum Extra ⚡
Is Risk-to-Earn Web3's First Good Idea?
More web3 games are embracing a new model: risk-to-earn. Instead of relying on inflation or unsustainable treasuries, games like Cambria, RavenIdle, and platforms like Ronin are building prize pools funded directly by player activity.
Here is what you need to know…
💰 Cambria drops players into high-stakes zones where unbanked gear can be lost forever. Over 20,000 players joined Season 2, generating a $1.5M ETH prize pool - all through in-game spending. No token. No speculation.
💰 RavenIdle brings the model to idle RPGs. Players manage units across dungeon floors and complete tasks. The initial $70K prize pool is fully backed by Battle Pass sales and could scale to $570K.
💰 Ronin's Jin’s Fortune Spin recorded $318K in spending in three days, with over $540K in trading volume - all in a closed-loop system with no new tokens.
This model mirrors the high-risk gameplay seen in extraction shooters and hardcore modes - appealing to players who enjoy meaningful stakes and real ownership.
