### What is Gamification?

Simply put, it's turning learning into a game through various types of simulations such as a Mock Trading Platform that replicates Hive-Engine, Tribal Dex, Beeswap etc for instance. Users can get Tokens to use in place of the actual Tokens available for trade on these platforms and learn how to perform actions such as making Market or Limit Orders, Adding or Removing liquidity and swapping. A simulator could also be built to teach Leo Finance users all about the $CUB ecosystem especially how to bridge and wrap tokens and participate in the various Farms and Pools.

### The Benefits of Gamifying Cryptocurrency Concepts



With the rise of cryptocurrencies, there has been an increased demand for platforms that can help people learn about trading and investing. Gamification has emerged as a potential solution to this problem, offering a fun and interactive way to engage with complex financial concepts.



By using games to teach key financial concepts, businesses and online Communities like Leo Finance and HIVE can provide a fun and interactive way for people to learn about cryptocurrency trading. Gamification can also be used to reward users for completing tasks or reaching milestones, encouraging them to stay engaged with the platform.

### How this would specifically benefit Leo Finance?

People learn in many ways, but overwhelmingly they learn by doing. They learn by making mistakes. They learn by physically completing activities.

Many are quite intimidated by both the lack ok knowhow as well as the real fear of losing hard earned money.

By simulating all of the various activities and actions one can take on the HIVE Blockchain, Leo Finance can open up the door for user adoption through no risk gamification.

Every single concept in [LeoPedia](https://leopedia.io/) could be gamified in one fashion or another.

### Lets be Realistic

Not everyone is built to crank out long Financial and Cryptocurrency related blogs. If thats all you can do on Leo Finance you are limiting your user base. Theres many ways you could structure a Leo Finance Educational game where users can learn and earn at the same time.

In addition I have also wondered why we have not invited all of the amazing Artists we have to a "Cryptocurrency Art & Graphics" Community where they could contribute all sorts of wonderful HIVE and LEO Finance and general Financial and Crypto visuals that could be used in Leo Finance Blog Posts.

Perhaps a backend Community could be created where they were able to create Artwork that could be used in Leo Finance Blog Posts and receive post rewards as a beneficiary?

If you want to increase the amount of users on Leo Finance, you will need to offer more ways for users to participate.

I have a lot more notes and of course a lot more details I'm working on fleshing out. I'm wondering if anyone else has already thought of this as well?

### The Future is Now

In the future, gamified finance platforms could become the go-to source for people looking to learn about cryptocurrency trading. By offering a fun and interactive way to engage with the topic, these platforms have the potential to educate and empower a new generation of investors as well as continually grow their community!

#### If you were designing a game that taught financial concepts, what would the objectives be and how would players progress through the game?

#### Are there any other ways that we could use games to help people learn about important life skills like personal finance?
