The incorporation of blockchain technology into video games is referred to as the "blockchain in gaming market." This entails managing in-game currency, transactions, and assets via decentralized ledgers. Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and cryptocurrencies are frequently used in blockchain games, enabling users to possess, exchange, and sell in-game goods with actual monetary worth. One of the main factors propelling blockchain's expansion in the gaming industry is the rising desire for decentralized games and assets. Players can fully own and manage their in-game assets thanks to decentralized games and assets. In contrast to traditional centralized games, this allows players to move, trade, and even sell their assets without any limitations or middlemen. Additionally, two significant reasons propelling the industry are the growing popularity of blockchain gaming and improvements in smartphone technology. Additionally, by giving players a way to access these blockchain-based games, smartphones have contributed significantly to the expansion of the blockchain in the gaming industry. Developers may now produce increasingly complex blockchain-based games that run on mobile devices because to smartphones' growing processing power and memory capacity. Additionally, the introduction of 5G technology has made it possible for quicker upload and download rates, lower latency, and better connectivity all around. However, the deployment of blockchain technology necessitates technical know-how and resources, which are significant barriers to industry expansion.
