## *Pros and Cons of NFT Games*
#
Blockchain based games are those games that use the real property of each item with the technology found in cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin or ethereum.
In turn, blockchain video games are like any video game that uses certain aspects of cryptographic blockchain technology, which means that video games are composed of software designed to bring players to the cryptocurrency market, which has provided an audience of enthusiastic participants, but your future depends on finding a much larger one.</div>

Furthermore, the current status of NFT games is largely focused on the creation of assets for valuable transactions, which can acquire market value and even increase it over time, so we could compare them to the digital equivalent of collectible cards. As digital assets, they can change over time for better and have multiple functions, while analog cards are static, cannot be improved and may even lose value if you spend them playing.
In this way, the items that are acquired in NFT games, whether they are weapons, masks, experience points and so on, have a value that players can exchange with other players.
Therefore, when talking about advantages with respect to this genre of games we can be sure of the decentralization represented by blockchain technology, as well as the security and economy it provides.
So that there is a public and immutable digital record of everyone and no one at the same time, which offers complete reliability by knowing the origin of some work with the possibility of including information in the code and, therefore, maintained in the NFT, so that forgeries and theft of works are avoided. Likewise, an attractive feature for active players is the use of prizes users get for their effort in play-to-earn games, so they get these prizes as payment methods in addition to cryptocurrencies.
On the other hand, when comparing them with traditional online games, we know that the digital property that these possess, do not have the value that the blockchain allows, since we can "have" the amount of masks that we want in Fornite, but there’s no way they can be legally sold to other players.
Similarly, an element that also goes against NFT games would be the way to scale within a game, that is, thanks to the slowness of Blockchain based games, in addition to the computational complexity they produce, they tend to jam the nets for the players.
Also, within the cons that are presented you can count on accessibility since for someone who knows the cryptocurrencies can find simple the way to go into this type of game, However, 97% and 99% of new users can leave the process by having to create a wallet, register, buy currency, and so on.
That’s why the video game industry has always tried to make the first user experience simple, fast and fluid, without prior knowledge.
Finally, I consider as a major problem in this type of Blockchain game the way in which they are promoted because they are not offered as games with great potential where the Blockchain is just another element, and not its main feature, so they can attract people interested in making money, but there will be players who will only decide to return to traditional games, whether video games or onlines, for a real game attraction.</div>

#
<div class="text-justify">
In May 2021, in Vietnam, MyDefiPet was launched on KardiaChain’s Blockchain platform, which is able to unite the Ethereum, Polkadot, Binance Smart Chain ecosystem in one space. It was developed in coordination TopeBox, a game developer in Vietnam who has managed to have a success in their games getting millions of downloads globally. MyDefiPet (MDP) features DeFi to NFT collectibles, where you can collect monsters (pets) that participate for prizes or rewards.</div>

#
<div class="text-justify">
The three features of the game, which are "My" for customization, "DeFi" for built-in functions, and "Pet" for a pet-raising game. The game revolves around engaging activities like collecting, fighting, evolving, breeding and of course, trading the pets.
It currently already has more than 100,000 holders of its native DPET token, more than 1 million eggs purchased. In addition, the team consists of people with experience in blockchain and mobile chain games, including the creator of the game. Thai Liem, the leading product in Gameloft which is the number 1 mobile video game developer.
When hatching an egg, the monster (pet) qualities are: color, profile, type, aura, mutation, rarity, HP levels, MANA, ATK, DEF, INT, CRIT, among others. It is also possible to create new generations of monsters from two monsters, this is what is known as a race.
At this time, it is not necessary to have a particular device or operating system, since it is played in the browser directly.</div>

<div class="text-justify">
DPET Token is the token for the MDP game's native digital utility and serves as game currency. Used to trade, upgrade pets and their special qualities, and more. Its main smart contracts are deployed in KardiaChain and Binance Smart Chain.
This token is of the utility token type (under the ERC-20 standard) and has a limited issuance of 100,000,000 tokens. In addition, the players participate in the governance of the game, this means that they can decide on new functions or changes in the dynamics of the game, to maintain the good economy of the game. To participate in governance, holders must block their DPET tokens and in return they will receive PHP tokens, with which they can exercise their right to governance.
At the time I wrote this article, according to coinmarketcap the price of DPET is around $ 3.98, at # 677 and with a market capitalization of $ 27,155,598 with around 6,878,202.33 DPET in circulation and a daily volume of approximately $ 4,368,997.</div>

MyDefiPet is currently in its beta state, so many of its functionalities are not yet active or in a trial period.
As of this writing, they are just rolling out the staking functionality that will be available within the next three days. At the moment it is not possible to withdraw profits in MyDefiPet but it is planned that the marketplace will soon, and much later the incorporation of the battles between pets, and seasons-events.
Recently the first event called Boss Fight ended, where they already announced that in a couple of weeks it will be repeated with optimizations and many improvements.</div>

#
## *Process for acquiring tokens*</div>
#
<div class="text-justify">
First you have to have the Metamask wallet configured with the Binance Smart Chain network preferably.
Then click the button to add tokens and add the address of the DPET token contract, which is:</div>
<center>**0xfb62ae373aca027177d1c18ee0862817f9080d08**</center>
<div class="text-justify">
This can be achieved at Coingecko or at CoinMarketCap. In my case, I already have the token added to my Metamask wallet.</div>
#
<center>
#
#
</center>
#
<div class="text-justify">
You could have a Binance account to buy BNB and pass it on to Metamask.
In my case I have some USDT (USD Tether) in my wallet which I am going to exchange for DPET tokens on the [Pancakeswap Platform](https://pancakeswap.finance), specifically at https://pancakeswap.finance/swap. In this case I am going to exchange 12.5 USDT for 3 DPET (later I will explain why it is necessary at least 3 DPET)</div>
#
<center>
[Source](https://pancakeswap.finance/swap)</center>
#
<div class="text-justify">
To add the token in pancakeswap it is the same in Metamask, you have to give the option to add tokens and add the address.</div>
#
<center>
[Source](https://pancakeswap.finance/swap)</center>
#
<div class="text-justify">
Once we have the DPETs, we go to the https://mydefipet.com/ platform and click the “Play Now” button to enter the game. Then we go to the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) option, and we connect our metamask wallet.</div>
#
<center>
[Source](https://play.mydefipet.com/app/games/bsc)</center>
#
<div class="text-justify">
Then within the game we go to the "Incubator" option to buy an egg. It is necessary to know that an egg is equal to 3 DPET.</div>
#
<center>
#
#
[Source](https://play.mydefipet.com/app/games/bsc)</center>
#
<div class="text-justify">
And we finally have our pet! Already in the game so far, we can plant food to feed it, evolve the pet once it reaches level 10 (this will cost around 3 additional DPET), and in case of having another pet, in the Happy Forest it can be obtained another pet for an additional 5 DPET.
We are ready for the next game events! Also when they incorporate the battles between pets and the game officially comes out later this year or early 2021.</div>

## *Conclusions*</div>
#
<div class="text-justify">
A year ago a video game was putting food on the tables of Filipino families, who were affected after the COVID-19 pandemic. A Filipino realized that he could make money with Axie Infinity, by winning tokens in the game, then more people joined in the same block to continue playing. It can be said that Axie Infinity made a great impact and transformed the economy of those residents of Cabanatuan, the Philippine city of Nueva Écija.
Now, it’s true that not all games need NFT, but we could assume that the functionality provided by Blockchain is as common today as Internet connectivity once was. For this reason and more, developers need to make sure that these games are as fun as the ones players love now, if not even better, so that users are guaranteed their assets, facilitating trade between platforms and digital ecosystems.
Every day we are more impressed by the projects and initiatives that arise from the Blockchain, and the disruptive and innovative ideas and technologies behind all this, Steemit is a clear example, and today the trend of NFT games has grown incredibly exponentially, no It is known for sure how these projects will be able to adapt to such enormous scalability, since they are the pioneers of this innovation, but what we do know is that it helps people of different ages to earn money and have fun.</div>
