Question 1

What is the metaverse?

Accepted Answer

Powered by decentralized blockchain technology, the metaverse is a single, shared, and immersive version of the internet enabled by the use of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) headsets. While it is still in its infancy, many predict that the metaverse will become a virtual world within which we communicate with peers, collaborate on projects, learn, play, and coexist.

Question 2

What are blockchain games?

Accepted Answer

Blockchain games are video games that utilize the power of blockchain technology. Key elements of blockchain games include the use of crypto wallets, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and cryptocurrencies. Unlike traditional games, the use of blockchain technology enables video games to be decentralized, meaning that users can properly own in-game assets and add-ons by having them tied to their digital identity rather than merely the game studio of the given game.

Question 3

What are in-game assets?

Accepted Answer

In-game assets refer to items within a game including characters, objects, sound effects, new environments, and other special features. These can often be purchased at the expense of the player for enhanced gaming experiences. While assets in traditional games are controlled by the game studio, in-game assets in blockchain games can be self-custodied by the player, allowing them to be ported from one game to another or re-sold on a secondary market.

Question 4

How does AI work in gaming?

Accepted Answer

Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the ability for machines to perceive, predict, infer, and learn new information. In the context of a video game, AI enables responsive and adaptive environments, storylines, and experiences. This is primarily demonstrated through non-playable characters (NPCs), which are computer-generated characters that respond creatively, as though they are human-controlled. The use of AI in video games allows for more individualized, player-centric gaming experiences.
