You must be living under a prehistoric rock if you haven’t heard about NFT yet. NFTs or Non Fungible Tokens are all the hype right now. Still many people wants to know what is NFT? Let’s understand it first before jumping to the main topic. NFTs are unique units of data that are stored on a blockchain that works as the NFT network. NFT tokens are available in different forms of media, like audio, video or picture and can bought and sold digitally.

In many instances, NFTs are often confused with cryptocurrencies, mainly because of the use of blockchain in both. But NFTs are different from cryptocurrencies like bitcoin as NFTs are non- fungible cryptographic tokens. What this means is that all NFT tokens are distinct and unique, with each having a different value, as compared to cryptocurrencies where per unit value is always the same. 

In terms of safety, NFTs are considered pretty secure. Each NFT token comes with a unique digital certificate of ownership which later helps in trading NFT’s art. It’s with the help of this certificate that NFTs are traded. Also being completely based on blockchain technology, NFTs can not be forged, as their record can be tracked via all the members on the blockchain. This, is little about NFT now, come to the main topic which is NFT gaming.

NFT introduced a new term Play to earn or NFT games which gives an opportunity to everyone to earn money while playing games. Now, each individual can start earning money with little investment. So, today we will discuss all about what NFT gaming is? How can you start with a play to earn program? What are the benefits of this and so on.

Let’s get started: 

What is NFT gaming?

NFT Gaming, as the name suggests, is an amalgamation of conventional video gaming, with NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens). An NFT Gaming includes launching games on blockchains and anchoring them with digital asset-powered economies. They are commonly used for these digital assets since they are unique and tamper-proof.

NFT gaming is the future of NFT tech. This is mainly because of its money earning aspects. Though it is still a growing arena, NFT gaming gives lots of scope for developmental improvement, as well as earnings. 

How you can start with Play to Earn?

First of all, with knowledge of Cryto and with little research each individual can take part in this program and can start earning.  To start with Play to Earn or NFT gaming one need to understand the process first. On a website coinmarketcap you can check any crypto token price and can see which project is dealing in NFT gaming. Many projects are offering games and many are yet to start new games and in development process.

For Instance- If you will check for the coin “Axie Infinity” on coinmarket cap, you will see full details their. You will notice their website name is also mentioned, and when you visit their website, you can check the game features and many more things. Every game provides some reward points, based on the project.

Now, understand the process to start with any NFT game. First, you need to understand what coin reward you will get to play games. After that, check out what character NFTs they are offering and learn to mint them. In minting process, you have to invest some money to buy heroes or can say digital characters to play games. So, in simple words, in game assets like skins act as NFTs. These NFTs or heroes/characters can be earned in three major ways, that are by unlocking, buying or trading. 

In the first method, unlocking, players earn NFTs by reaching a particular level in the game. For the second method, that is buying, players can buy NFTs in the game with money. In the last method, that is trading, players can trade in NFTs by barter, without the use of money.

As NFT is based on blockchain network, it makes it easy to keep a track of who was what NFTs on a disclosed ledger making it accessible to all. NFT standards also allow game developers to keep certain of the in-game goods, like skins, rare and distinctive. Thus, some blockchain gaming assets are seen as more valuable than others.

 Once earned, in any way, one has exclusive ownership rights to these game assets regardless of how one accesses them. In essence, a person may distribute or sell them and keep all of the profits. This is how the “play-yo-earn” model in NFTs works.

For instance, in case you win a certain type of skin in a video game, the game will find it out via an external blockchain mechanism. And if anyone buys it off you, the game would see it off the external blockchain itself.
