How Blockchain Technology is Rejuvenating the Gaming Industry and Transforming Microtransactions

With the use of blockchain technology, it is possible to create a realistic metaverse vision for the future. The advent of blockchain technology has resulted in the emergence of new business models that have the potential to upend the status quo. As the number of people who play for money continues to rise, new services are making it easier for anyone to enter into the game. There is a great deal of disagreement among the gaming community around the subject of microtransactions. Their capacity to bring in new content at a reasonable cost is something they can take advantage of. A "pay-to-win" mentality and/or a generalized sense of entitlement may develop from the usage of these substances. When you decide to stop playing a game, you forfeit whatever money you have invested.

Play-to-earn An NFT-based online game known as Axie Infinity has surged to the top of the list of all decentralized applications (dapps) since its inception on the Ethereum blockchain (dapp). Players may also earn real-world wealth by utilizing virtual currency in the blockchains of the games they are playing. It's like a Pokemon-style game in which people battle against their "Axies" in order to win real-world prizes and incentives. To get started, users will need a minimum of three of these digital creatures on their computers. For a percentage of their earnings, new players can borrow assets such as Axies from guilds that specialize in axies. It has the potential to be utilized to build a fully functional economy that is mostly based in the virtual world.. NFTs and other decentralized assets, as long as they are tied to a blockchain, may be readily transferred between different blockchains and platforms.

The Polygon Network, a second-layer solution for the Ethereum blockchain, allows for extremely cheap transactions to be processed in seconds rather than minutes, resulting in significant time savings. The number of games and non-transactional decentralized applications on any other chain outside of Ethernet, including Decentraland, OpenSea, and The Sandbox, is less than half of what Polygon has.

To boost trade, Africa is simplifying international payment systems

It's hard to transfer money between African countries. The Ghanaian king settled a bill with a Nigerian attorney. His experience highlights a systemic problem impeding Africa's economic growth: high transaction costs and inconvenience. 15% of all imports and exports occur between 55 African countries. 60% of Asian trade is within Asia. 70% in EU. The difficulty of international payments hinders African trade. There are also high tariffs, long border procedures, and congested roads. Proponents of AfCFTA say easing trade restrictions will boost trade, FDI, and economic growth. 50 million people will be lifted out of extreme poverty by 2035 due to the accord's positive impact on real income, which is projected to rise 9.1%.  Another issue: In Africa, currency values fluctuate. From July 2021 to 2022, Ghana's currency fell from 6 to 8. Volatile currencies make financial transactions more costly and risky. To overcome these problems, PAPSS facilitates financial transactions ...

A more accessible blockchain-based app dev in progress

Outside of cryptocurrency, blockchain has a lot of potential. Decentralized applications and distributed ledgers may soon be used by established industries such as finance, automotive, supply chain, and mobility. However, creating your own blockchain from the ground up is quite tough. Lisk co-founder Max Kordek discusses how to make decentralization more approachable. Blockchain's decentralized, tamper-proof nature has the ability to decentralize power and offer the collective hive more data control. Data from different manufacturers may be linked, and data from different vehicles could be shared. With so much money pouring towards asteroid mining and Mars expeditions, an interplanetary economy appears to be a foregone conclusion. Established businesses are less likely to have a say in the change than new entrepreneurs. When Bitcoin was first launched, the development ecosystem was "terrible," according to Kordek. He claims that developing on the open source and immutable...

Embracing blockchain as a tool for change

Blockchain technology is increasingly being employed in enterprises outside of the financial industry, and this trend is expected to continue in the future. By 2023, it is estimated that investment in blockchain technologies will reach US$16 billion per year on average. (Approximately RM68 billion). To put this in perspective, consider the fact that US$8.7 billion was invested in blockchain and cryptocurrencies in the first half of 2021. The Malaysian government is aiming to create a long-term environment for the country's technology and financial services industries in the next years. Founded in Singapore in July 2021 by Iskandar Investment Bhd as a wholly-owned subsidiary, the Ignite Global Innovation and Technology Exchange will be the world's first global innovation and technology exchange. In Malaysia, IIB Ventures Sdn Bhd is in charge of the development of the blockchain industry's ecosystem. This is why BV@M has set a goal of creating a blockchain ecosystem in Medini...
