This means that they can use crypto tokens, feature integration with crypto wallets, or allow NFT trades.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Generally speaking, a blockchain game has NFTs and crypto tokens in the form of skins, playable characters, or in-game assets (like items and equipment). So, following the rules of the crypto gaming market and NFTs, any digital asset you have in these games is completely yours to do as you please.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can sell these assets in an NFT marketplace, whereas in most traditional games, you can&#8217;t sell your skins, or at least do so without the help of third-party software. On the other hand, game developers aren&#8217;t attached to creating monetization loops in paid games. They get a fraction of every transaction made within the in-game market.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All of this is possible as smart contracts ease NFT distribution within games. And because all data held is public and permissionless blockchain is immutable, developers cannot change the smart contracts, which gives players more security and control.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"htoc-can-i-win-money-earning-in-game-assets\">Can I Win Money Earning In-Game Assets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"730\" height=\"350\" data-src=\"https:\/\/gamerseo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/NFT-weapons-in-Alien-Worlds.jpg\" alt=\"NFT weapons in Alien Worlds\" class=\"wp-image-2885 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/gamerseo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/NFT-weapons-in-Alien-Worlds.jpg 730w, https:\/\/gamerseo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/NFT-weapons-in-Alien-Worlds-300x144.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 730px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 730\/350;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"730\" height=\"350\" src=\"https:\/\/gamerseo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/NFT-weapons-in-Alien-Worlds.jpg\" alt=\"NFT weapons in Alien Worlds\" class=\"wp-image-2885\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gamerseo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/NFT-weapons-in-Alien-Worlds.jpg 730w, https:\/\/gamerseo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/NFT-weapons-in-Alien-Worlds-300x144.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Most blockchain games fall under the model referred to as &#8220;GameFi.&#8221; And before we continue, let&#8217;s clarify some concepts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>GameFi<\/strong>: It is a term that emphasizes the potential of earning money through the game. A blockchain game needs a robust blockchain foundation with minimal fees and high transaction rates. Players shouldn&#8217;t pay huge transaction fees (commonly named &#8220;gas fees&#8221;) when purchasing or selling NFTs, in-game currency, or other digital assets because they&#8217;re unusable without them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Plat-To-Earn<\/strong>: It is the model that many blockchain games implement and the one to which blockchain gamers are most used. It compensates players for playing the game and participating in in-game activities, allowing them to buy and sell game-related commodities. A blockchain-based game gives players complete control over their digital assets, unlike traditional game models such as pay-to-play (commonly used on single-player games) or free-to-play (a model that many multiplayer games are adopting).&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Pay-To-Earn<\/strong>: With this model, players have to make an initial investment or purchase of an in-game asset (usually in the form of an NFT). Then, the strategy is similar to the previous one, where you can earn items that can develop value over time, with the promise of profits as an incentive for players to stick to such games.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>With these crucial concepts already in place, we can continue on how one can earn an income with blockchain games. The tokens earned in these games can have real-world value, and you can exchange them not only for other NFTs but also for cryptocurrencies like Ethereum.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It allows gamers to earn currencies and creates a brand-new digital economy that rewards gamers for playing, which is a potentially lucrative way to generate income. There are several examples of this sort of case that we will be looking at in a bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"htoc-what-are-the-risks-of-playing-games-over-the-blockchain\">What Are The Risks of Playing Games Over The Blockchain<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"889\" height=\"500\" data-src=\"https:\/\/gamerseo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Hacker-stealing-data-from-a-notebook-to-his-cellphone.jpg\" alt=\"Hacker stealing data from a notebook to his cellphone\" class=\"wp-image-2886 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/gamerseo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Hacker-stealing-data-from-a-notebook-to-his-cellphone.jpg 889w, https:\/\/gamerseo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Hacker-stealing-data-from-a-notebook-to-his-cellphone-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gamerseo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Hacker-stealing-data-from-a-notebook-to-his-cellphone-768x432.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 889px) 100vw, 889px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 889px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 889\/500;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"889\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/gamerseo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Hacker-stealing-data-from-a-notebook-to-his-cellphone.jpg\" alt=\"Hacker stealing data from a notebook to his cellphone\" class=\"wp-image-2886\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gamerseo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Hacker-stealing-data-from-a-notebook-to-his-cellphone.jpg 889w, https:\/\/gamerseo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Hacker-stealing-data-from-a-notebook-to-his-cellphone-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gamerseo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Hacker-stealing-data-from-a-notebook-to-his-cellphone-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 889px) 100vw, 889px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Many blockchain games aren\u2019t prepared for the volume of transactions that these new economies within their games create. It isn\u2019t rare that some transfers take longer than expected to complete. So, if you lack patience, you may have a potential setback depending on which game you choose. But this is one of a few obstacles that blockchain games confront.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"htoc-environmental-impact\">Environmental Impact<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While they are working on it, most popular blockchains still require a lot of electric power to run properly, reaching levels equal to or more than some entire countries. With that said, their data-intensive mining protocols would lead to increasing amounts of &#8220;gas fees&#8221; to pay for each transaction.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ethereum, the most popular blockchain, suffers from this issue as it is built with a system called &#8220;proof of work,&#8221; which requires a lot of energy to solve complex puzzles to verify every transaction. All of this results in being very energy inefficient, and its creator Vit\u00e1lik Buterin is working on a solution for the future.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"htoc-scammers-and-hackers\">Scammers and Hackers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Then we have the &#8220;scam&#8221; problem. Being a young industry in the &#8220;Internet Era,&#8221; there are many people that will take advantage of others promoting false blockchain games, where gamers will dive and buy their assets before their release to find out that they were willingly gifting their money to thieves. Blockchain doesn&#8217;t comply with financial standards, leaving the ground free from any sort of fraud. So, double-check everything if you want to play a new blockchain game, even more, if it requires a prior investment.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"889\" height=\"500\" data-src=\"https:\/\/gamerseo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/The-hacking-against-Axie-Infinity-was-covered-in-many-US-news-networks.jpg\" alt=\"The hacking against Axie Infinity was covered in many US news networks \" class=\"wp-image-2887 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/gamerseo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/The-hacking-against-Axie-Infinity-was-covered-in-many-US-news-networks.jpg 889w, https:\/\/gamerseo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/The-hacking-against-Axie-Infinity-was-covered-in-many-US-news-networks-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gamerseo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/The-hacking-against-Axie-Infinity-was-covered-in-many-US-news-networks-768x432.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 889px) 100vw, 889px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 889px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 889\/500;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"889\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/gamerseo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/The-hacking-against-Axie-Infinity-was-covered-in-many-US-news-networks.jpg\" alt=\"The hacking against Axie Infinity was covered in many US news networks \" class=\"wp-image-2887\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gamerseo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/The-hacking-against-Axie-Infinity-was-covered-in-many-US-news-networks.jpg 889w, https:\/\/gamerseo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/The-hacking-against-Axie-Infinity-was-covered-in-many-US-news-networks-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gamerseo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/The-hacking-against-Axie-Infinity-was-covered-in-many-US-news-networks-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 889px) 100vw, 889px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Another risk similar to scammers is the &#8220;hacking&#8221; issue. It isn&#8217;t only against the players, where their wallets can be hacked, and they lose their money. If you take some security measures like using VPN, being aware of where you are navigating on the Internet, and not clicking on suspicious links that people may send you (to say some), you will be safe from people stealing your wallet. Hackers are aiming at the developers themselves. There were cases of popular blockchain games that got hacked and lost millions, like what happened to Axie Infinity, resulting in a market crash over their token for the moment. As developers tighten the security levels for their games, so are the hackers implementing better methods to breach them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"htoc-market-fluctuations\">Market Fluctuations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, there is a problem that the whole cryptocurrency landscape suffers from, which is &#8220;market fluctuations.&#8221; As it might happen with certain crypto being at a high price in the market and suddenly crashing down and becoming worthless, some blockchain games can suffer the same.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, some games limit how often a player can withdraw their tokens to reduce the risk of market fluctuation but also adds the risk that players won&#8217;t be able to withdraw their tokens in time to mitigate potential losses due to these limitations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"htoc-which-are-the-best-blockchain-games\">Which Are The Best Blockchain Games<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While blockchain gaming is in its infancy, with only a few years around the market, mainstream gaming companies like EA, Ubisoft, Konami, and Square Enix are already looking to dive into this landscape, supporting from the outside and even experimenting with their own NFTs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep in mind that all of them have their own game rules, game store, and different game mechanics. There isn&#8217;t a guideline more than implementing blockchain technology, so if none of these games get your attention, perhaps there is one that matches your &#8220;gaming taste.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"htoc-axie-infinity\">Axie Infinity<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"906\" height=\"500\" data-src=\"https:\/\/gamerseo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Screenshot-of-Axie-Inifnity-gameplay.jpg\" alt=\"Screenshot of Axie Inifnity gameplay\" class=\"wp-image-2888 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/gamerseo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Screenshot-of-Axie-Inifnity-gameplay.jpg 906w, https:\/\/gamerseo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Screenshot-of-Axie-Inifnity-gameplay-300x166.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gamerseo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Screenshot-of-Axie-Inifnity-gameplay-768x424.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 906px) 100vw, 906px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 906px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 906\/500;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"906\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/gamerseo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Screenshot-of-Axie-Inifnity-gameplay.jpg\" alt=\"Screenshot of Axie Inifnity gameplay\" class=\"wp-image-2888\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gamerseo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Screenshot-of-Axie-Inifnity-gameplay.jpg 906w, https:\/\/gamerseo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Screenshot-of-Axie-Inifnity-gameplay-300x166.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gamerseo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Screenshot-of-Axie-Inifnity-gameplay-768x424.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 906px) 100vw, 906px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The most popular and probably, the best blockchain game around the market.

Each Axie has different body parts that will influence their base stats, and each corresponds to a specific card that will be added to your deck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To play the game, a player must have at least three Axies (which are the NFTs of the game) that can be purchased in its marketplace. Then, by winning games, you can earn Smooth Love Potions, which you can trade for other cryptocurrencies. And if you reach a high ranking, you can even earn AXS, a more expensive cryptocurrency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Axie Infinity developed a big community worldwide, giving everyone a chance in hop-in.

It mixes game mechanics from Hearthstone and Magic: The Gathering but without falling on being &#8220;just another copy&#8221; of these games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is an NFT game that allows users to trade cards and use them in their own deck. A simple concept that was missing during the transition from physical card games toward digital card games. Most of the digital TCGs just became CCGs. With Gods Unchained, you can trade cards for a set price over its in-game marketplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the most interesting part about it is that you craft free cards by just playing the game and doing some daily missions. And this can happen without investing money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The GODS token is the native currency of the game, which is the ERC-20 token.
