One of the biggest factors many look into when it comes to growth of a blockchain are how many new wallets are being made on that blockchain. Gaming in particular for web3 is opening up a huge box of growth when it comes to this as gamers pour in for things such as Metalcore a new triple A style of game that's doing rather well and hasn't even been fully released yet.
I picked metalcore because even though it's not hugely popular yet it does hold real potential of being a blockbuster once fully released. It has the action, the graphics, the battles, the tools and the NFTs which are selling on open sea collection [Metalcore open sea NFTs0{https://opensea.io/MetalCore)
You can view some of that gameplay here
As you can see it's right up there with other popular game and has real potential once fully released.
We also have games like Big Time which got so hyped it opened up a massive market and new players jumping in on the game to "earn" The graphics are decent and the game play is ok but it's not over the top. It for sure however progression from were we once where which was just NFT blockchain games on the browser and is showing a clear evolution in gaming overall.

These large launches are creating many new wallets and getting new players and people involved into crypto that have never been before. Gaming truly is one of the largest places for any blockchain to gain growth.
But let's not forget about browser based games. These games took storm in the last bull run ushering in some of the largest growth caps ever.
Games like [Splinterlands](https://splinterlands.com?ref=bitcoinflood] and Axie Infinity brought in massive of new users to the blockchains they were a part of. Sparking some of the largest wallet creations that dwarf many months and years of normal blockchain adoption.
This is where applications including games become critical for both the survival of a blockchain and also the growth of a blockchain. Now with tons of low fee or free fee blockchains simply offering this on your chain isn't enough. Your chain has to have this by default but more importantly it has to have value behind it. If your blockchain is not increasing it's overall market cap making it and the applications running on top of it more valuable apps will leave and developers will leave.
I pulled this screenshot from @dalz most recent write up on accounts on hive which I'll had it to him he does amazing work with these charts that I wish I knew how to do lol
As you can see a normal bull market for hive did pretty ok but it greatly blew up with Splinterlands blew up in the last bull run. The sheer amount of new accounts being created and active during this time was massive and as you can see it crushes years worth of normal every day usage just showing how powerful having a solid application running on your chain can do for you.
