Blockchain in Games: Models, Platforms and Evaluation
Why this course
Explore how blockchain, NFTs and decentralised applications are used in games. Compare platforms, game models, asset integration, legal considerations and technical constraints to decide what deserves further investigation.
Tokens can track ownership and transfers, but game utility, scarcity and cross-game compatibility depend on project design and supported integrations. Gameplay income and asset value are uncertain, not assured benefits of blockchain.
Learning outcomes
- Describe how blockchain systems and games connect.
- Compare platform, integration and technical considerations.
- Examine earning models, costs and risks without assuming reliable income.
- Use a structured checklist to evaluate selected gaming projects.
- Build a research shortlist of projects relevant to personal interests.
