Definition ∞ A gaming ecosystem refers to the interconnected network of digital environments, players, developers, and assets that constitute the world of video games, particularly those incorporating blockchain technology. This includes in-game economies, non-fungible tokens (NFTs) representing unique digital items, and decentralized governance structures. Such ecosystems aim to create persistent, player-owned virtual worlds where digital assets possess real-world value and utility. The interoperability of assets and experiences across different games is a key developmental aspiration.
