Updated on March 2024. Play these interesting blockchain games and receive airdrops with this guide on BitPinas.
Updated March 2024. (Jump to new content here.)
Web3 games, or the so-called “Play-to-Earn” games, were among the top use cases of blockchain technology using the recent bull run—it gave the community the opportunity to earn while playing.
Basically, a blockchain game is a blockchain game built on top of a blockchain. It normally uses NFTs as in-game characters and items (that is why it is also called an NFT game) and uses crypto as rewards (that is why it is also called a play-to-earn game).

Advantages of Web3 Games
In NFT games, gamers can purchase, use, and sell in-game NFT items and characters. These NFTs are of course secured on the blockchain, which means that they cannot be duplicated, assuring the authenticity of the item. These NFTs can also be used in other blockchain games, most often within the same ecosystem.
But among the advantages of these NFT games compared to traditional games is digital ownership. In traditional games, when a player buys an in-game item, they may lose it permanently if their account is closed or banned. In an NFT game, the player owns the in-game item permanently, and even if their account is closed, they can just sell the NFTs to get their money back.
Speaking of earning, rewards are also precious in blockchain games. It is because most often, rewards on these games are in the form of cryptocurrencies—which means that the rewards received by playing a game are tradeable and with real-time fiat value. In P2E games, the tokens earned are also used to buy in-game NFT items, pay tickets for in-game tournaments, and other features like breeding, planting, or simple tasks.
But these tokens, whether NFTs or crypto, are not just obtained by playing the game. Because there are also blockchain games that are generous—they are giving away rewards through airdrops.
