NFT gaming has become increasingly popular largely due to Play-To-Earn (P2E). This means that players can earn while they play NFT games online. NFT games are games that use unique digital tokens and collectibles throughout the game as a way to earn. NFT gaming differs from traditional gaming since it enables players P2E.
