This is the future of online gaming—in this article, Tatler lists digital tournaments that encourages players to earn digital currencies and exchange Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs)
Playing online games is entertaining, but what if you earn digital currencies while doing it?
Many people would prefer to meet in person but two years into the pandemic, the world assembles longer online. The digital world has increasingly become the home of gamers who found their way to gain profit through cryptocurrencies and non-fungible tokens (NFTs).
For starters, an NFT is described as non-interchangeable unit of data stored on a blockchain, a form of digital ledger. It is a technology that allows local artists, app developers, artists, and entrepreneurs to trade intangible fragments of the internet as they would in the real world.
Cryptocurrency, on the other hand, is any form of currency that exists digitally or virtually and uses cryptography (study of secure communications techniques) to secure transactions.
