NFTs bring in-game ownership to a new level, says Blokhaus founder

Nonfungible tokens (NFTs) have taken the gaming world by storm. Whether it’s through limited edition collectibles, avatar enhancement or play-to-earn incentivization, digital assets have given in-game ownership a new meaning.

The ways in which NFTs are available to players are becoming increasingly tangible. In the case of Blockxer, the latest blockchain game from Blokhaus Inc., every component of the game has been NFT-ized and available for modification by users. 

Mark Soares, the founder of Blokhaus Inc., told Cointelegraph that when every aspect of the game is an NFT, users can create completely “bespoke” game experiences. Everywhere a user turns in this 8-bit, arcade-inspired game, there is an NFT — from the background and the characters to the weapons and more:

“Imagine the ability to create your own characters, in your own scene, and the ability to gift or sell these mods as an NFT pack to other players.”

NFTs allow users to unlock fully modular, community-driven in-game experiences to which they own the pieces. Soares likens this customization of an NFT-driven game, such as Blockxer, to 90s mixtapes, saying that it puts the “power of game creation in the players’ hands.”

As explained by Soares, the design of Blockxer is quite simplistic, harkening back to pixelated arcade games of the nineties. It highlights crypto-meme culture and includes characters like a zombie doge.

Even though the game design is simplistic, Soares stated that it doesn’t mean the utilities of the NFTs have to be simple as well. In fact, he said that too simplistic thinking of NFTs is a problem in the blockchain gaming industry.

“Usually [they’re] just add-ons, rewards or badges for games that you can purchase – we think they can and should be much more.”

This is only the beginning of NFT integration into the world of gaming. Recently MyMetaverse and Enjin games began implementing NFTs into popular games such as Minecraft and Grand Theft Auto 5 servers.

BNB Chain aims to raise 30K new Web3 developers across Latin America in 2022

BNB Chain, a blockchain network created by crypto exchange Binance, and Latin America-focused education platform Platzi announced that they will be launching a Web3 development course for the region.

By the end of the year, the course aims to be accessible to 30,000 students. Gwendolyn Regina, investment director at BNB Chain, told Cointelegraph that this course focuses on growing the skills of developers.

“This is going to be the major educational resource available in Spanish for Web2 developers to build on Web3 with BNB Chain.”

This development is an effort to push wider adoption of blockchain technology and Web3 education in the region. Generally, the greatest barriers of entrance into the industry are accessibility and education, along with unclear regulations from local governments. 

Even among those who have already purchased crypto, the understanding of how the technology works is often misunderstood. According to a survey from the Motley Fool, nearly 10% of respondents who own crypto said they don’t understand how it actually works.

Therefore, education is key. It’s even more important in regions like Latin America, where crypto has the potential to empower the local population outside of traditional, messy financial institutions. Regina told Cointelegraph: 

“If we increase the accessibility to resources to build Web3 tools on BNB Chain, we can significantly support the development of the region.”

In El Salvador, the first country to make Bitcoin legal tender, efforts to educate the general public on crypto are underway. The country introduced a grassroots diploma program called Mi Primer Bitcoin, or “My First Bitcoin,” which aims to increase crypto literacy among young people.

To encourage participation in the new BNB Chain course, those attending the BNB Chain Developer Camp this September in Bogota, Colombia, will have a chance at a limited number of scholarships for the new online course.

Latin America is a growing hub for innovation and adoption of crypto and Web3 developments. Earlier this month, Binance and Mastercard released prepaid crypto cards in Argentina. 

“Latin America needs to balance the retail experience with the building potential. There’s a big community that knows about crypto and its utility by daily experience,” says Regina.
