With the rise in Web3 technology NFT gaming is taking the world by storm. In the last quarter of 2022 blockchain gaming made up over half of blockchain activity, with hundreds of millions in transactions processed indicating that, despite the market slump, top blockchain games continue to see active participation.
What Is a Blockchain or NFT Game?
Blockchain gaming combines blockchain technology, cryptocurrencies, and game mechanics to create a virtual gaming world. These games often utilize NFTs in the game environment incorporated within the rules of the game, amongst player interactions, or as a reward system ranging from the player’s avatar to weapons, equipment, skin, or land.
The in-game reward model, known as ‘play-to-earn’ (P2E), allows players to be rewarded with tokens or NFTs, which could be traded within or outside of the game as they progress. In this type of game environment, developers set up smart contracts to implement the rewards and rules of the game.
How Are They Different From Traditional Games?
In traditional games, players do not have independent ownership of the assets they hold in the game, as illustrated by the fact, for instance, that the assets or rewards earned cannot be exchanged outside these games.
Meanwhile, NFT games provide opportunities for players to acquire native tokens or collect NFTs through participation. Users are usually granted full ownership and control of their digital assets and are free to hold, buy, or trade them. These digital assets can sometimes be exchanged for cryptocurrencies and then traded for fiat on third-party exchanges.
How to Get Started With NFT Gaming
As NFT games live on a blockchain, setting up a supported crypto wallet is usually necessary in order to interact with these types of games. It allows players to purchase and store their NFTs.
Depending on the game, prospective users may be required to acquire game tokens or NFTs before participating in the game.
Conclusion
Game-fi has now created new NFT gaming economies that have changed how people can earn using NFTs. To make money, it’s not just about luck and collecting anymore; it’s also about playing too.
