Players have been buying in-game items for years, so what makes Web3 gaming different? Some see it as another way to sell skins, while others believe it’s a step toward actual ownership. Whether it improves gaming depends on how the game uses it.

RWA tokenization on Tezos reduces barriers to investment, allowing fractional ownership of valuable resources.

The way we invest and manage assets is changing, and one of the big drivers of this change is the tokenization of Real-World Assets (RWAs). This might sound like jargon, but it’s a simple idea: turning physical assets, like real estate or commodities, into digital tokens on a blockchain. This makes them easier to own, trade, and invest in.
