Blockchain games, which are also sometimes referred to as NFT games or crypto games, are video games that employ the use of blockchain technologies built on cryptography. The premise in blockchain game development is that players can use cryptocurrency or non-fungible tokens (NFTs) to sell, purchase, or trade with other players.

If you wonder how this helps the game publisher and developers, the simple answer is that they earn a small fee every time a transaction occurs in the game. This is one way of monetization in a blockchain based game. These games are quite profitable as some players rely on these games for a solid income. A few players have earned enough money to cover their debt, leases, living cost, etc.

Keeping in mind how these crypto games help people earn, they have recently achieved the reputation of play-to-earn games. To be honest, these games were being developed as early as 2017. However, it was not until 2021 that these games started gaining traction in the video game industry. Especially after a few AAA publishers relayed their strong interest in analyzing the blockchain game development and its tremendous potential.

Since then, there has been a drastic advancement in this sector of the video gaming industry.
