Why Reward With Tokens?
Tokens are SECURE + TRULY OWNED + VERIFIABLE + MONETIZABLE + SCARCE
In traditional gaming, all the digital assets, in-game currency, and achievements that a player owns, either as a reward for playing, or acquired by purchase, ultimately belong to the game's developer. But if these utilities were token based, they would truly belong to their owner.
Imagine that a player has earned a lifetime discount on a game's in-game items; when he is no longer interested in that game, this discount will not be useful for him, nor for anyone. But, if what the player owned was an NFT that provided the lifetime discount, he would be able to sell his NFT to an active player, that would find it extremely useful, and benefit from the discount.
Finally, players can make a profit from the money and time they invest in playing games.
Token based rewards offer attractive advantages over regular digital rewards:
Secure
Unlike regular digital platform rewards, that are stored at the platform's servers, tokens are stored securely in blockchains that are stored at multiple internet nodes, independently from the platform’s user accounts. There means they are extra safe from server failures and loss of data, user accounts being compromised, and hackers accesing sensitive data.
Truly owned
Unlike regular digital rewards, that only exist within the platform and are linked to an user account, crypto users truly own their tokens and NFT, and their ownership can’t be tampered with. Should a user stop playing games or even closes his IDC GAMES account, he will always be able to claim ownership over his tokens and NFT, that will remain valuable and functional.
Verifiable
With tokens, it all happens on a blockchain, that acts as an external certified witness to token’s name, description, ownership, ruling contract (smart contract), and transactions.
Monetizable
With token based rewards, players, developers and infuencers will have a chance to earn digital assets that can be transferred to the real world as a valuable resource, and make profit from the trade. Their owners can trade and monetize their NFT at third party token markets for cryptocurrency.
Scarce
Additionally, it is in an NFT nature to be limited in number; this means there are only a limited amount of units available, and scarcity increases the NFT reward’s value.
