Tonight, I joined the Swiss Crypto Valley Association’s Virtual Series with innovators and experts in the blockchain gaming industry. The event was moderated by Gabriel Jaccard and Anthony Fender of Arbitri, a Swiss consultancy specializing in blockchain ecosystems.
Is blockchain heralding a new era for gaming? Today, blockchain based gaming is a billion dollar industry and creates new features and benefits for players and game developers alike. A new economy has emerged with unique tokenized digital goods – NFTs, digital tradable game collectibles, the play-to-earn feature, and of course the metaverse.
In this Crypto Valley Association Virtual Series some of the leading participants from the blockchain gaming industry disussed the impact blockchain has on the gaming industry, the intricacies of gaming law, benefits of blockchain gaming for users, the gaming economics, the play to earn and much more. Thomas Hübner asked Dr. Andreas Glarner in his presentation if he could elaborate on the connection between gaming (industry) and NFTs to which he responded with the following examples:
- NFTs may be used to play games / participate in games, e.g. sorare.com
- NFTs are started to be used as prizes in game environments
- NFTs are used as means of engagement / reward system in gambling operations
- NFTs as in game items
