The first crypto game Cryptokitties

Blockchain games utilize cryptography-based blockchain technology, incorporating blockchain elements such as non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and cryptocurrencies in the game, allowing players to buy, sell, trade, and earn income through the game. These platforms provide a transparent environment for players to trade in-game assets and create new opportunities.

Blockchain technology brings new opportunities, secure transparent transactions, innovative gameplay mechanisms, and new ways of gaming, completely transforming the gaming industry. For example:

In 2017, Cryptokitties was the first known blockchain game, where players could breed, own, and trade kittens as assets in the game. This game falls under the category of paid games, where players must first purchase Ethereum. After buying this currency, players can buy virtual pets acting as NFTs.

Furthermore, as more developers deploy blockchain functionalities in their games, providing real economic incentives and transforming gaming into a viable source of income for professional players and streamers, blockchain technology has been widely adopted across various gaming industries.
