Definition
Gaming in the context of crypto is a broad concept describing video games that use blockchain-based systems for assets, currencies, or game logic. These games often issue in-game items, characters, or currencies as tokens, which can be held in a crypto wallet and recognized as distinct digital property. The concept connects traditional gaming experiences with blockchain features such as verifiable ownership, scarcity, and transferability of in-game assets. It sits within the wider coin and token ecosystem, where game-related coins or tokens may be used for access, rewards, or governance.
In Simple Terms
Gaming in crypto means playing games where items and currencies are not just data inside the game, but blockchain-based assets that can exist outside it. Instead of being locked to a single account or server, these assets can be stored, viewed, and moved using the same infrastructure that supports other coins. The idea focuses on giving players more formalized ownership and potential portability of what they earn or acquire in a game. It describes a category of games shaped by blockchain rather than a specific single product or platform.
