Blockchain games are a relatively new phenomenon, but they’re already changing the way people interact and play with one another.
Here’s what you need to know about the newest trend in Blockchain gaming:
- Blockchain technology is a distributed network of computers that uses cryptography to create an immutable and secure ledger of transactions. Each player has their own copy of the game’s blockchain, which stores all of their in-game assets, achievements, and progress. Players can transfer money from one account to another through blockchain technology, and trades between players’ accounts are governed by smart contracts—essentially automated agreements—that verify ownership of assets.
- Blockchain games are designed for players who want to interact directly with one another rather than going through an intermediary (like Steam or Xbox Live). They also have built-in economies based on virtual goods and currency; this means that no matter how long you’ve been playing the game, you’ll always have something new to do or acquire.
What are some of the most exciting developments in blockchain gaming? We’ve got them here for you.
- Virtual Reality (VR) headsets have been getting more popular, and VR games have been getting better at providing an immersive experience. VR is great for gaming because it creates a sense of presence—you feel like you’re actually in the game world. And because it’s so immersive, it can be hard to focus on what’s going on around you when playing—but that means the world gets even more immersive!
- Blockchain gaming is also starting to spread outside of just computer games: there are now blockchain-based collectible card games (CCGs), which were previously only available on other platforms like Steam or mobile apps like Hearthstone and Pokemon Go. These kinds of games are called “collectible” because they involve cards that have unique artwork and distinct personalities; when people buy these cards, they become rarer but still usable in their original form in future gameplay sessions until they get destroyed or otherwise disappear from play.
