Safety isn’t a single metric. It’s a bundle of risks that differ between CEXs and DEXs:
Custody risk (who controls the private keys)
Counterparty/solvency risk (can an intermediary misuse deposits)
Technical risk (smart-contract bugs, bridges, MEV/front-running)
Operational risk (account takeovers, phishing)
Regulatory & recourse (who can you complain to; can funds be frozen or recovered)
Because your risk profile changes with how you trade and store…
What “tokenomics” means in NFT gaming
Tokenomics is the economic design of your game’s on-chain assets: how tokens and NFTs are created, distributed, used, and retired; which behaviors they incentivize; and how those incentives affect player retention and long-term sustainability. Good tokenomics align fun with value, using transparent rules that make economic outcomes legible to both players and developers.

Why this guide matters in 2025
Marketplace fees, royalty rules, and even which blockchains are supported have shifted a lot since 2023. If you are choosing where to mint, list, or trade, using last year’s info can cost you real money. This guide compiles current, official details so you can make a smarter, faster choice.

What a web3 gaming guild is
A web3 gaming guild is an organized community that coordinates players, training, and capital around blockchain games. In early play-to-earn cycles, guilds pooled funds to buy scarce in-game NFTs and lent them to members so they could play without paying the up-front cost. Media and industry analyses describe this as a response to expensive entry…
What NFT art actually is (and isn’t)
An NFT is a unique token on a blockchain that points to an artwork and its metadata, establishing provenance and an ownership record you can transfer or sell. It does not automatically give you copyright or commercial rights to the underlying art; those rights depend on the license the creator attaches (for example, Creative…
What “virtual real estate” actually is
In open virtual worlds, “land” is typically an NFT (often ERC-721) that gives its holder the right to deploy experiences on a specific coordinate on that world’s map and to transfer or lease that right to others. Decentraland’s original whitepaper framed LAND as parcels on a blockchain ledger that owners control and can monetize by…
What “play-to-earn” (P2E) means in 2025
Play-to-earn describes games that reward you with on-chain assets—typically tokens or NFTs—that you can trade for crypto or fiat. In practice, “P2E” has evolved into “play-and-earn” or “play-and-own”: you play a normal game loop, and some items, currencies, or event rewards are tokenized so you can keep or sell them. Definitions from major crypto education…
1) What is blockchain gaming?
Blockchain gaming refers to video games that use public blockchains to record ownership of in-game assets and (sometimes) currency. Instead of a closed database controlled by a single studio, items such as cards, skins, or land can be issued as tokens players actually own, trade, or move between marketplaces compatible with the token standard. Two standards…
1) First things first: what is an NFT?
An NFT (non-fungible token) is a unique on-chain token that can represent art, collectibles, in-game items, memberships, tickets, and more. On Ethereum, most NFTs follow ERC-721 (one-of-one) or ERC-1155 (multi-token) standards.
2) Choose your blockchain and marketplace
Different chains have different wallets, fees, and ecosystems.
Ethereum: the largest NFT ecosystem; most blue-chip collections; gas uses EIP-1559…

Web3 finance is moving from speculation to utility. Dollar-pegged stablecoins have passed roughly $275–278 billion in circulating value, tokenized U.S. Treasuries sit around $7.4 billion, and real-world assets (RWAs) excluding stablecoins are now in the mid-$20 billions. Regulation is finally catching up, with the U.S. GENIUS Act and the EU’s MiCA defining how stablecoins and service providers operate. On the…
