Player-owned assets refer to digital items, characters, or virtual land within blockchain games that are verifiably owned by the players themselves. These assets are typically represented as non-fungible tokens (NFTs) on a blockchain, granting immutable ownership and the ability to freely trade or transfer them outside the game. This model contrasts with traditional gaming, where assets are controlled by the game developer. It introduces real-world economic principles into virtual environments.
