Although the adoption of NFTs in the gaming world presents several benefits, there are also significant hurdles to overcome. Most notably, these assets need to be more appealing and intuitive to mainstream consumers who may not be highly tech-oriented. And because NFTs possess intrinsic value, there’s a risk that some will be used predominantly as speculative assets. This could motivate players to purchase in-game assets with the hope of selling them for future profit instead of using the assets within the gaming ecosystem as intended.

Why is NFTs Special?

The specialty of non-fungible tokens revolves around three (3) concepts namely; Unique, Rare & Indivisible.

Unique: One major feature that makes NFTs special is the fact of it being unique. Unlike fungible tokens, each NFT has its unique properties (metadata) that are peculiar to one token. 2 NFTs in the same platform can’t have the same properties.

Rarity: NFTs are rare collectibles with limited supply. The scarcity mechanism is one thing that makes owning a non-fungible token special.

Indivisibility: Unlike a fungible token, a non-fungible token can not be divided into smaller units. Bitcoin and other fungible assets can be split into the smaller unit but non-fungible token needs to be bought, sold and held as a single unit.

What Citizen Finance can do for Games and Virtual Economies?

To truly inhabit the virtual world, users must be able to monetize their efforts and make a living through the virtual world. This means that they must be able to easily convert their virtual possessions and services offered to fiat. Blockchain-based games will enable the rise of player-generated content and game-related services. Citizen Finance is introducing something new into the utilities of in-game assets. It decided to adopt the Binance smart chain network because it is easy to understand, low-cost gas fee, fast transaction, and also similar to the Ethereum blockchain. For example, players might design their own skins and items to sell or use for themselves, or they might undertake a quest for another player in exchange for items and currency.

Citizen Finance offers players full ownership of in-game assets. In-game assets are blockchain-based non-fungible token in which players obtains rewards for playing the game and staking the assets on the decentralized pool. With full ownership of in-game assets, users can sell them, gift them or use it as collateral.

This mechanism will result in frequent withdrawals and deposits in and out of the ecosystem in which users will spend a lot of gas fees. Adopting a blockchain with fewer gas fees and the fast transaction was our primary need when choosing a blockchain.
