The Rise of Blockchain Games

Statistics reveal that there are over 3 billion gamers across the globe. Since the healthcare crisis traced to late 2019, there has been a general uptick in the number of participants sparked by the government’s efforts to contain the spread of the virus. As a result, billions of dollars were sunk into gaming resources as people resorted to digital entertainment and diversified their income streams. The rise of blockchain and the integration of its solution in gaming continue to find traction primarily due to blockchain’s value proposition of overhauling the player-publisher design. Blockchain games are player-centric and trustless. This means the gamer stands to earn more while having the latitude to access a wide range of games published on different platforms.
