‘Play-to-Earn’ games are really taking off.

Get in early, and it could really pay off, even where just your starter NFT or ‘welcome’ game currency, could rise in value.

NFTs are also helping to drive this ‘Play-to-Earn’ gaming revolution, with nearly every game company right now currently taking an interest in them.

Very simply, NFTs are ‘proofs’ that players own something — like a graphic or an asset — in the game, which are registered on a global blockchain. They can be traded with anyone, a bit like a cryptocurrency itself.
