Gaming & NFTs: A match made in digital heaven

Imagine a world where playing a game enables you to own unique digital assets. A world where your achievements give you bragging rights and tangible rewards.

Sounds like a gamer’s paradise, right?

Well, this dream is now a reality with NFTs.

Pairing the new frontier created by NFTs with the power of gamification makes for an explosive combination, transforming how we interact with gaming platforms. 

Games are ripe for NFT integration, thanks to their virtual currencies and in-game economies that provide incentives to players. By incorporating NFTs, these digital assets acquire real-world value, resulting in more engaged and intricate in-game economies.

Take it a step further and NFTs could enable those same digital assets to be used across games and platforms, leading to wider awareness and larger audiences. 

And what do all these gamification aspects have in common? 

They all empower game studios to create the best gaming experience for their audiences.

Feature of the week

Elizabeth Stark, CEO and Co-Founder of Lightening Labs

This week’s featured individual is a visionary entrepreneur, advocate for blockchain technology at large, and the CEO and Co-Founder of Lightning Labs, Elizabeth Stark.

Elizabeth’s journey into the world of cryptocurrencies began during her time at Harvard University, where she developed a keen interest in decentralized systems and their potential to disrupt and reshape traditional industries.

And in 2016, she co-founded Lightning Labs with the goal of solving one of the most pressing challenges facing crypto: scalability. 

Recognizing the limitations of Bitcoin’s base layer, she set out to create a layer-two solution that would enable faster and more cost-effective transactions without compromising the security and decentralization of the underlying blockchain.

Under her guidance, the Lightning Network has garnered widespread acclaim for its ability to scale blockchain networks, making them practical for everyday transactions while reducing congestion and fees. 

Beyond her work at Lightning Labs, Elizabeth has been an active contributor to the Bitcoin community, an advisor to startups, the recipient of lists like Forbes’ “30 Under 30” and Fortune’s “40 Under 40”, and is a fellow at Coin Center. ⚡️
