Play to Earn is flipping the gaming industry on its head. With the introduction of blockchain technology and the ability to create trustless networks, gaming developers are now able to reward and incentivise the players that make up the core value of the game.
NFT’s
In-game asset ownership through the use of NFT’s provides additional value to the players when said asset is used within the game world by playing an active role in the game itself. As players increase the XP of an in-game asset by playing, its value increases, meaning players are incentivized to spend time in the game to boost their said assets whenever they wish.
Token Dynamics
The play 2 earn model enables game developers to create value in unique tokens associated with the game. These tokens provide utility, and therefore new ways to engage with the game and trade in-game assets.
Empowerment
Play 2 Earn is revolutionary as it debases the value of a player's time regardless of their means, wealth and location. All players are equal. That means players from under-privileged countries such as Indonesia, Vietnam, Philippines and Thailand can make relatively high full time in-game incomes from actively playing the games.
Scholarships
Due to the play 2 earn models’ effectiveness, the prices of the NFTs linked to the in-game assets required to play may be significantly high, meaning barriers of entry exist for those with no money to purchase such NFTs. Scholarships such as  G A M E  S T A’s enable the distribution of these in-game assets to players that can use them in game in exchange for a profit sharing model. This sharing is a consequence of the active gaming performance of the players.
