NFTs: Unlimited Adoption
The search for ‘contactless’ solutions for entertainment was not far behind, and gaming also saw greater growth this year as did many digital solutions based on cryptocurrencies.
Best of all, the combination of both worlds, the crypto + Blockchain, has generated a new movement that attracts a lot of attention, where gamers, artists and crypto enthusiasts have joined: the NFTs.
Initially originated as an artistic experiment, the use of non-fungible tokens focused on decentralized games has been boosted since the appearance of Cryptokitties.
Now the Metaverse has evolved and expanded its borders, becoming a subsector of billions of dollars that grows exponentially with its use and adoption cases: gaming, art, music, real estate, among others.
Its unique and unrepeatable capacity, by having a unique identifier, as well as the intrinsic properties of Blockchain technology “transparency, immutability and traceability”, are some of the benefits that allowed to explore the tokenization of assets of any type, beyond the standards fungibles of traditional tokens.
As if that were not enough, its interoperability capacity has made it possible to overcome the barriers between chains, thus allowing a more global and decentralized economy, at the same time that it allows unequivocal digital ownership of the user or creator of the NFT.
The Sandbox: Successful Use of NFTs
Empowering the user and allowing them to monetize their creations directly without intermediaries, while allowing them complete control over them, are the most notable use cases that NFTs promote within popular platforms from decentralized worlds such as Decentraland or The Sandbox.
As if that were not enough, the fact of owning virtual LANDs and being able to lease them to monetize this space, in addition to having absolute control of the passive income from assets that are created on these territories, are characteristics that are gaining more and more followers, thanks to the power of Blockchain technology, combined with the best of the real world.
While it is not yet easy to count the statistics on the contribution of NFTs to the gaming economy, their increasing inclusion in gaming platforms is increasingly evident, pointing the way to come.
In this sense, platforms such as Animoca Brands, which have sufficient experience and knowledge between both worlds «Blockchain and Gaming», have the probability of greater success in covering this new emerging market niche of NFTs. The Sandbox is a great example of this success.
About the Sandbox
