Blockchain technology, which powers cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, is a distributed record of transactions that is maintained by a network of computers. Because the records must be the same across the whole network, the decentralized approach makes it difficult for anybody to change the transaction information.

Because most gaming systems are centralized, gamers may only spend their game winnings – such as XP or in-game cash – in one game. Blockchain games, on the other hand, feature a decentralized paradigm, which means that gamers own their game data and may use it in other blockchain games.
