Play-To-Earn Model

Definition

The Play-To-Earn Model is a gaming paradigm where participants can acquire verifiable digital assets, often in the form of cryptocurrencies or non-fungible tokens (NFTs), through gameplay. Unlike traditional games where in-game items are typically confined to the game’s ecosystem, assets obtained in Play-To-Earn games can be traded, sold, or utilized outside the game on open markets. This model incentivizes player engagement by offering tangible economic rewards for their time and effort. It represents a significant shift in the relationship between players and game economies.
