Cricket isn’t just a sport in Pakistan; it’s often called the country’s second religion. The memory of the 1992 Cricket World Cup victory, led by captain Imran Khan, is still one of the nation’s proudest moments. And now, IOTA might have a chance to become part of that legacy.
Salima, a tech lover with a passion for cryptocurrency, posted on X:
Something is happening on IOTA that no other network could handle.
She was talking about Gamifly, a thriving community with over 5 million users, 3 million unique active wallets, and 100 million on-chain transactions executed, all centered around tournament-style sports gaming.
At the heart of it is CricketFly, the world’s first Play2Win Web3 cricket game. Powered by AyLab, it seamlessly blends Web2 experiences into Web3 applications, and its next big move: deploying thousands of Non Fungible Tokens (NFTs), one by one, each minted into its own unique address, and it’s happening flawlessly, minute by minute on IOTA.
NFTs and Cricket Legends
These NFTs will feature stars like Abrar Ahmad, Shadab Khan, and Fazalhaq Farooqi, along with tournament access, exclusive rewards, VIP passes, special utilities, and early access to a dedicated marketplace powered by GMF, Gamifly’s native token.
This is the kind of rollout that could supercharge IOTA adoption. After all, Gamifly is already ranked among the top platforms on DappRadar and stands as the leading sports game on Google Play in Pakistan, and now it’s tying that momentum directly into the IOTA network.
Why Pakistan? It’s home to 2.5 billion cricket fans globally, and with 65% of the population under 30, it’s a young, tech-savvy, and deeply passionate audience. But it’s also price-sensitive, which makes IOTA the perfect choice. Thanks to its feeless architecture, each NFT can be launched at negligible cost, something most blockchains simply can’t support.
“This isn’t just another NFT collection, ” she said, “Expect account numbers and transactions to skyrocket.” Salima shared that the NFTs are still being minted, with their next milestone being full integration into the game.
They’ll be priced using GMF, Gamifly’s proprietary off-chain token. However, it’s still uncertain whether GMF will eventually be anchored to IOTA’s Layer 1, a move that would make a lot of sense if the ultimate goal is to create a seamless, decentralized marketplace for buying and trading NFTs directly on IOTA.
And the timing couldn’t be better. Pakistan is becoming increasingly favorable toward the crypto market. Recently, the country signed an agreement with Kyrgyzstan to deepen collaboration in crypto and blockchain innovation, proposing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to formalize their partnership in the space.
On top of that, Pakistan has announced the formation of its Pakistan Crypto Council, a dedicated division tasked with regulating and integrating blockchain technology into the nation’s financial landscape.
With improvements in transaction sequencing and validator metrics aimed at fairer staking rewards and greater efficiency, the results are already showing: in just three months, IOTA accounts have jumped from 226,000 to 437,000.
According to our analysis, IOTA could exceed 1.07 million accounts within a year, far outpacing the typical 20–25% annual growth most blockchains see. IOTA price is currently struggling at $0.1889, down by over 5.36% in the past week.
