Gamification is the act of introducing game-like features onto a platform. This amendment of gaming strategies to the blockchain technology has several advantages and few of which are as listed below:
Participation and Interaction –
The blockchain technology will also incentivize the “gamers” which makes it different from the normal gaming platforms.
Target Audience –
Blockchain projects today are mostly targetting the early investors or a small group of people who are tech-savvy, especially the experts in the blockchain market. This scares and stops the normal consumer from exploring the cryptocurrency world, thus predicting no future for a bigger mass of technology toddlers. Gamified platforms encourage such enthusiasts to indulge in activities that lead them to the root (the technology) and not the hanging fruit (cryptocurrency valuations). It is education through gamification.

Digital collectables made available through such gamified platforms such as CryptoKitties are not just valued within the confined walls of the product scope, but also outside the market. It can be traded for other popular cryptocurrencies or can even be converted to fiat.
