Blockchain is a new form of data storage based on โdistributed ledger technology.โ To own or trade digital assets like NFTs in your game, understanding basic blockchain concepts will help you grasp everything more smoothly.
โผ๏ธBinance Smart Chain?
Binance Smart Chain (BSC) is a blockchain network that handles transactions quickly with relatively low fees. It offers compatibility with various decentralized applications (DApps), making it easy and efficient to trade in-game items or NFTs.
โผ๏ธLayer 2
Layer 2 solutions reduce congestion on the main blockchain (Layer 1) and increase transaction speeds. By processing a large number of transactions on a separate protocol and only recording the final results on the main chain, they save both time and costs.
โผ๏ธWhy Choose BSC
We decided on Binance Smart Chain (BSC) because we believe BNB is one of the most stable tokens available. If the managing company were to go bankrupt, updates could be halted indefinitely. Therefore, we concluded that starting on a trustworthy platform right from the beginning was the wisest choice. BSC offers both stability and scalability, providing a reliable foundation for long-term operation.
โผ๏ธHow Are NFTs Created?
NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) are digital assets that possess uniqueness and scarcity. They are typically issued through smart contracts, each with a distinct ID. This uniqueness allows for true โownershipโ of digital items like game assets or artwork.
โผ๏ธBEP20 Standard
BEP20 is the token standard used on BSC. Tokens following this standard are mutually compatible, making it easy to transfer, store, or trade them across various wallets and exchanges.
โผ๏ธVerifying the Creator
When trading NFTs, always verify the creator or issuer. You can look up the creatorโs address on BSCscan or use the SEARCH NFT page on EXTOCIUMโs website for verification. Confirming that the NFT is issued by a trusted creator and matches official release information is the first step toward a safe transaction.
โผ๏ธHow Do the Game Database and NFTs Interact?
When an NFT is created, its unique token ID and attribute data are recorded on both the blockchain and the game database. In-game actions like using or transferring an NFT are handled through a smart contract and APIs, which notify the game DB of any changes in ownership or attributes. In this setup, the blockchain provides โproof of ownership and transactions,โ while the game DB manages fast data processing. These two systems stay synchronized so that whenever a player uses an NFT in-game or moves it to an external wallet, everything remains up-to-date.
โผ๏ธUsing a Block Explorer
A block explorer is a website that allows you to search blockchain data such as transactions, blocks, and wallet addresses. For BSC, you can use tools like BscScan to view smart contract details, token issuance history, and changes in ownership.
