Play-to-Earn (P2E)
Table of contents
Play-to-Earn (P2E) is a gaming model where players earn real-world value, often in the form of cryptocurrency or NFTs, by participating in and progressing through a game. Unlike traditional games that offer in-game rewards with no external value, P2E games let users monetize their time and skill.
How It Works
Players complete tasks, win battles, or trade assets to earn crypto tokens or digital items. These can often be traded or sold on marketplaces, creating economic incentives that blur the line between gaming and work.
