Play-to-earn has fatal flaws: How can Web3 gaming be more sustainable?
Web3 game development company QORPO says there are significant shortcomings in the play-to-earn space — and a drastically different approach is needed to create games that retain users and achieve sustainable tokenomics.

Brickken, an up-and-coming tokenizing solution, now helps companies to create digital tokens backed by real-world assets –– with zero downtime and instant execution.

DeFi muss sicher, stabil und zugänglich gemacht werden, und das ist die Lösung
Echte Dezentralisierung ist etwas, das viele Krypto-Projekte anstreben, aber diese ist in der Praxis oftmals zu umständlich für die Nutzung durch Otto Normalverbraucher. Wie lässt sich dieses Problem lösen? Die öffentlichkeitswirksamen Pleiten großer Branchenakteure – namentlich allen voran die Kryptobörse FTX – haben gezeigt, wie zentralisiert die Kryptobranche inzwischen geworden ist.
DeFi needs to be secure, stable and accessible for all. Here’s how
True decentralization is something that many crypto projects strive for, but the result is often too complicated for everyday users to rely on. So, what’s the solution? The high-profile failures of big industry players — namely the cryptocurrency exchange FTX — exposed just how centralized the crypto space has become. Former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried now faces a flurry of criminal charges amid allegations that his decision-making directly affected the exchange’s collapse.
A new age in investing: The transformative power of asset tokenization
Asset tokenization has long been regarded as one of the most compelling applications of blockchain technology. Back in June 2019, the United States investment banking giant BNY Mellon declared it has the potential to “dramatically change the dynamic” for investors and unlock opportunities that were previously out of reach.

Through tokenization, investors can acquire fractional ownership tokens that represent a portion of the property’s value.
How blockchain tech is making an impact in a challenging credit market
Surging interest rates and a challenging economic climate are making it difficult for individuals and businesses to access credit. In emerging markets with a high proportion of unbanked people, such issues are nothing new. Consumers who lack accounts with a financial institution often struggle to apply for loans at competitive rates — primarily because they lack a credit rating. As a result, wary lenders increase the cost of borrowing to applicants perceived as risky.
Where Web3 games have gone wrong - and how to fix it
The world of crypto and Web3 is fast-moving, with new trends emerging all the time. However, the industry has a bit of a problem when it comes to public perception.

While there has been no shortage of innovation across this vibrant sector in recent years, some misconceptions have continued to stick.
Unleashing the future of video games with on-demand esports
