BlockChain News any platform”. This concept allows play- ers to profit from their in-game efforts in many different ways. For example, if you are done with a certain game and want to start playing another one, you can actual- ly sell your items or even trade them with a player that wants to do the same thing, even though these are different games. To achieve this, DMarket leverages the immutability offered by the blockchain to turn each item into an asset, making it unique and impossible to forge. This char- acteristic also provides each item with its own history. The white paper reads: “Smart contract technology will ensure immutable records of one’s assets, adding a unique form of memorabilia that will create a natural game certification pro- cess, forever safe on the blockchain. Thus, digital goods become truly unique. They can adapt over time and develop a differ- ent value, creating a new realm of mem- orabilia and collectable assets, as well as a sense of history for users. This will also add a sense of history through digital goods globally.” Following an exchange, a smart contract system that logs changes of ownership in each asset is able to verify if the item has been transferred and will then carry out the previously agreed payments. The result is a decentralized marketplace, like eBay or amazon, where one can sell, buy or trade any item. Within the platform, all operations are carried out with DMARKET, an Ethere- um-based token that will be available dur- ing the Initial Coin Offering. The campaign started at 16:00 GMT.
