Blockchain is Redefining the Gaming World; Here's How

Press Release • May 10, 2022

After the introduction of blockchain in 2009, what followed was its use in different worlds. Blockchain gaming, for instance, came to life a few years after the launch of Ethereum. Ethereum became the backbone of smart contracts, which host Defi, NFTs, DAOs, and other projects.



Blockchain gaming combines mainly NFTs and Defi. NFTs are blockchain-based assets that no one can replicate and are currently the backbone of blockchain gaming networks. NFTs could be the game, in-game assets, characters, and strengths.


On the other hand, Defi can handle the financial side of the game. Gamers can purchase characters, assets and even pay for entry using Defi tokens. The idea of blockchain in gaming seems like a significant improvement over old gaming networks. But how is blockchain changing the gaming space?


More Security


Initially, gaming networks were based on servers highly prone to attacks. Hacking the server could kill an entire project.


Now, gaming networks are turning to blockchain-based servers. These servers have robust security, data encryption, and decentralization features. Therefore, the games thereon are secure for the gamers and even the founders.


The technologies and coding used in creating blockchain make hacking them nearly impossible. Additionally, since blockchains are decentralized, hackers cannot destroy the whole server.

Some blockchain networks use sharding technology to break the database into many tiny shards. If one shard is affected, the others remain operational; hence the game remains functional.


The existing transactions in the networks cannot be deleted or modified by hackers. Being built on blockchain, these Dapps can achieve better transactional and asset security if they use the measures needed. Hence, the safety of blockchain-based gaming platforms is almost 100% guaranteed.

The transparency associated with blockchain can also contribute to enhancing security. Essentially, blockchain can prevent fraud since it publicly records transactions for everyone to see.


Play to Earn Transformed


Some people often think that blockchain brought the idea of play-to-earn. However, that is far from the truth. Most online gaming platforms have for some time been offering rewards for gamers. The tips often came in in-game collectables, which the holder could sell. So, how has blockchain gaming brought reforms?


Today, the play-to-earn gaming world has different reward options. For instance, gamers can earn rewards by winning or collecting in-game items. So, there are collectibles that either come as NFTs or tokens. Moreover, now there are marketplaces. If the collectibles are NFTs, Gamers can exchange them for other tokens and cash.


On some platforms, gamers can stake their in-game NFTs and earn extra rewards. The exciting thing about the blockchain P2E model is that there are no limitations on gamers earning potential. Basically, with different sources of income on a single gaming platform, gamers can amass massive amounts of wealth.

The use of tokens and cryptocurrencies is a huge benefit of the modern blockchain P2E platforms. So this new blockchain gaming world redefines how play-to-earn systems should operate.


Making In-Game Purchases Easier


Gaming networks using the crypto space have a very efficient system for purchasing in-game assets. In old systems, players have to wait a long time for 3rd party networks to complete payments. Such transactions could take even days to complete.


However, using a gamefi network, you get instant crypto payment. Hence, a gamer can immediately purchase an in-game asset and get it in the account/wallet. Blockchain gaming networks save gamers from high fees charged by 3rd party transaction completion networks.


Ownership


Originally, gaming networks had centralized ownership. The founders would easily control the players’ assets and collectibles. But, blockchain gaming is transforming the ownership of the gaming community from just a few.


The games use smart contracts to control transactions. All in-game assets purchased by gamers are automatically deposited in their wallets and are controlled by them. The transfer is entirely irreversible.


Creating Rarer Ingame Assets


Rare collectibles have been part of the gaming space for a long time. However, blockchain introduces a system where developers can create games with rarer assets. These rare gems have more demand and earn more income.


The Community is the Heart


Finally, blockchain gaming is all about the community. As mentioned earlier, the smart contract is not under individuals’ control. Instead, the platforms gaming community controls the operations.


For instance, these platforms initiate systems called Decentralized Autonomous Organizations. These DAOs help the community vote on various decisions for the project’s future. Justagame is an example of a gaming network built on NFT technology that leverages a community governance mechanism. According to the gaming platform, JAG token holders will have a say in the direction of the games and overall development roadmap.


Final Take


This guide has been exploring the idea of blockchain in gaming. Indeed, the introduction of blockchain in gaming brought a lot of benefits for gamers and developers. Security, ownership, rare assets all define a good blockchain-based game.


However, the most interesting of them all was the transformation in the P2E system. Now more than ever, gamers can earn more through different earning options within the games. Yes, the gaming and blockchain combination is still new but already offers more than the old system.

GoodWares is launching the first blockchain-powered ERP designed to truly enable collaborative Ecommerce. The project’s founders are building something new for small and mid-sized online retailers. In fact, this platform gives independent retailers access to futures that Fortune 500 companies have. Speed, visibility, and logistics coordination are among the advantages promised by GoodWares . GoodWares strongly relies on a combination of the Hyperledger Fabric blockchain, Enterprise knowledge graph and artificial intelligence to help e-commerce scale their business.  The Problem Most small e-commerce sellers rely on disconnected tools—like spreadsheets, shipping apps, and manual systems—that don’t talk to each other. This leads to poor visibility and bad decision making. Because they lack volume and rely on unscalable systems, small businesses can’t negotiate better deals on storage, shipping, or staffing. In contrast, big retailers use integrated, data-driven systems to streamline operations and cut costs at scale. This creates a huge gap: large players grow stronger, while small sellers struggle to compete. According to Statista’s 2024 Digital Market Outlook, there are around 2.4 million small and mid-sized e-commerce businesses in Europe facing exactly these challenges every day. GoodWares is here to close that gap. The Three Core Layers of GoodWares GoodWares relies on three smart layers, as explained below: Enterprise Knowledge Graph (EKG) The EKG is the intelligent backbone of the system—an continuous-evolving, real-time network that maps relationships between products, suppliers, inventory, orders, and shipments. It’s not just a database—it’s a dynamic, visual brain that understands how every part of your business connects. When something changes—like a delayed shipment or supplier issue—the EKG instantly shows the ripple effects across the entire operation. This gives teams immediate insight into what’s happening, why it matters, and where to act—eliminating guesswork and enabling faster, smarter decisions. Blockchain Layer The Blockchain Layer is the trust engine behind GoodWares—a secure, decentralized infrastructure built on Hyperledger Fabric, purpose-built for seamless, permissioned collaboration between sellers, suppliers, and logistics partners, all without compromising data privacy. Everything operates on a shared, tamper-proof ledger, allowing businesses to safely collaborate without revealing sensitive information. Sellers can confidently combine order volume, negotiate bulk rates, reduce freight costs, and unlock enterprise-level advantages—all while maintaining full control over their data. No other technology than blockchain enables this kind of secure, scalable, multi-party cooperation. AI Layer Beyond blockchain, the project also makes use of artificial intelligence (AI) for a smarter management. Every day, at every time, the AI system can send a business owner specific alerts on the business. In fact, with the structured data from the previous layers, GoodWares’ AI has a full vision over the management. Agentic AI can effectively take care of any action, such as reordering products, rerouting shipments, or solving issues automatically. One Connected System for the Full E-commerce Workflow GoodWares covers all the e-commerce business requirements: Demand planning Procurement Inventory Orders and returns Logistics Finance Compliance Everything is built-in within this system, meaning that small-to-medium e-commerce retailers will no longer rely on disconnected tools. GoodWares calls this business model collaborative e-commerce. Get Involved To learn more follow GoodWares as the platform grows, anyone can visit the official website and social channels below: Website: https://app.goodwares.nl X (Twitter): https://twitter.com/GoodWares Telegram: https://t.me/GoodWares LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/company/goodwares About GoodWares GoodWares is a blockchain-powered e-commerce ecosystem that integrates sourcing, inventory, shipping, and sales to empower small and medium-sized businesses.
