Overview
Blockchain gaming integrates distributed ledger technology into game design to grant players sovereign ownership of in-game assets. Smart contracts automate trade, crafting, and reward distribution, whilst NFTs provide unique, transferable asset representations. The model introduces play-to-earn economics and interoperable asset layers across different gaming titles and metaverse platforms.
