# Current NFT Gaming

### Landscape

Giving gamers ownership over in-game assets and allowing them to increase their value by actively playing the game are key components of the play-to-earn business model. By embracing the concept of an open economy and providing financial benefits to all players who add value to the game world, GameFi is likely to introduce new game concepts and retention models not yet seen in modern gaming.

This new era infuses gaming, blockchain or DeFi, and NFT to create a gaming ecosystem where players can participate and earn simultaneously while being rewarded with both fungible and non-fungible tokens. However, there are still unsolved questions that bother gamers technically and socially.

In-game genres like TCG and SLG, the current NFT protocol (once written, immutable for life) is sufficient for all needs. Moving to more complex game modes, fascinating elements of exploration, upgrading, competition, and creation directly or indirectly interact with player assets (characters, props, money) and thus trigger changes in quantities and attributes.&#x20;

Would GenesisForge be a good solution? GenesisForge-based NFTs share good on-chain consistency as their metadata are stored on the blockchain rather than via URLs. The txt form metadata then provides the possibility for NFT to interact across different ecosystems but is generally impractical in reality as game attributes can be fundamentally different across ecosystems. Characters, pets, props, and the attributes vary greatly from game to game, for example, you would hardly use Leather Boots in a Starshark game, right?

### **Solution**

Building on the features of GenesisForge, it allows the creation of any digital properties in the form of numbers, with every piece of metadata stored on the chain. Compared to textual content, digital properties significantly lower the barrier to cross-ecosystem collaboration. NFTs are now the magical Bifrost to various games. The best part is that it supports real-time modifications with validation, allowing owners to modify the metadata of the NFT subject to certain rules.

By this implementation, we intend to explore a new territory of GameFi 2.0 that fully enables on-chain implementation of upgradeable characters/props and unleashes its potential for playability.&#x20;

Indeed, an editable, evolvable, and interoperable NFTgameplay is the inaugural exploration.
