However, with the sector integrating Blockchain technology with its services, its growth continues to skyrocket.

In order to define crypto gaming, one needs to understand its concept and why they are on Blockchain technology. Firstly, Blockchain is a database or ledger that stores information by sharing them with a network of computers. This stored information is secured, unalterable, and available for all connected computers. This concept, applied to gaming, is why crypto games allow users and affiliates of the game to own a part of it. Alternatively, unlike traditional centralized games, users can utilize characters, skins, weapons, and all coding of a game, for another. Crypto games allow players to earn and use rewards across different crypto gaming projects. This feature is known as Play-2-Earn, allowing users to play games to earn rewards. Examples of popular crypto games include Axie Infinity, Crypto Kitties, Pegaxy, Decentraland, Bomb, Nine Chronicles, etc.
How Does Crypto Gaming Work?
Crypto games feature most of the elements in traditional games but take a step further to improve the gaming experience. Like classic games, players can also buy in-game money with fiat currencies. There is also an option to purchase this in-game material with a compatible crypto token. Unlike traditional video games, crypto games users can collect items and level up their characters. Players can store or trade these collectibles for rewards. Unfortunately, despite their attractiveness, crypto games have limitations. One of such is that most games require users to deposit cryptocurrencies before playing or earning rewards. Another limitation of these games is that they aren’t appealing to crypto novices and mainly require technical knowledge about cryptocurrencies.
Why Are Crypto Games Attractive?
The most attractive feature of the crypto game is its ownership. Crypto games offer players can own their in-game items, trade them or even sell them. Unlike traditional games, crypto games avail players time to earn collectibles via blockchain technology. Crypto games are also a source of investment for investors, as committing funds to them yields rewards. Investing money in these games also allows players to unlock important and attractive game features. Unlike traditional games, the P2E model adopted by many Blockchain games will enable players to make profits via their crypto gaming coins. According to a report, these games have contributed to the growth of the crypto market by attracting huge investors to the space. A typical example is when Mark Cuban invested in Sky Mavis to raise $7 million in a funding series. The future of the crypto gaming industry is bright as optimism looms around it.

When this hero breaks blocks and kills monsters, they earn BCOINs for the player. Like every bomber hero, this hero consumes energy, and it has to be optimum.
