In traditional games players purchase digital items (e.g.skins in Fortnite) and then can really only use these items in-game. Through the creation of NFT’s facilitated by blockchain technology, these purchases transform an expense into an asset, creating seconday value from these purchases.

Virtual goods now have rich histories and individuality. Imagine being able to own the exact gun skin your favourite esports players used to win the world CHAMPIONSHIP.

The deceneralized nature of most blockchains ( e.g.,Ethereum ) means players don't need to trust any single developer. Their virtual goods can be provably scarce, highly secure goods operated on a cryptographic, decenteralized backbone.

While it will take time, blockchain tecnology has the potential to allow interaction accross ecosystems by leveraging existing building blocks. Imagine players wearing a Fortnite skin in League of Legends.

Players can use their virtual items like traditional assets as collateral for usage in DeFi. For example, a player could secure financing for their next battle pass by lending out their high-end weapons.

Gamers can now participate in the economics of the games they love. Developers can share a portion of their revenue with the game's supporters by issuing tokens.
