Decentralized Game Economy

Definition

A decentralized game economy is a virtual economic system within a video game where asset ownership, trading, and governance are managed on a blockchain, rather than by a central entity. Players typically own their in-game assets as non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and can trade them freely on open marketplaces. This model contrasts with traditional game economies where developers retain ultimate control over all virtual items. It aims to provide players with greater autonomy and potential for real-world value generation.
