"Video games are increasingly incorporating blockchains, the decentralised
databases that underpin cryptocurrencies, as well as NFTs and other “digital
assets”. New games are emerging expressly to support blockchain technology,
while traditional games are being updated to incorporate blockchains.
As of October 2021, “crypto gaming” accounted for more than half of the
blockchain activity over that quarter. At the same time, a treasury inquiry has
led to consumer groups calling for regulation in the crypto market.
Crypto evangelists say blockchains are the future of gaming, and crypto gaming
is ushering in “Web3” – the so-called next iteration of the internet built on
blockchain technology. How true are these promises?"
