From the time mobile app market has been introduced , mobile game is gaining its popularity as people are finding the ways to get engaged and getting entertained by playing games on mobile . The mobile app game apps is expected to gain 40% of the market share by 2020 , and so will be dApp mobile app development company .

But there is one limitation – the most common difficulty being faced by a mobile game playing user is if they purchase certain digital goods from in app purchases , it can’t be transferred outside the app or anywhere else . Although it works perfectly for both the user and the game industry , but what if game looses its popularity after a certain time – certainly all the money invested by the user in that particular game will be useless .

For a user to stop playing game means certainly to loose all the digital goods purchase and this leads to waste of money . But recently a new technology is emerging in the market to overcome with the problem that mobile gamers are experiencing . The technology is to make use of digital goods which are bought together with the game by exchanging digital goods by use of cryptocurrencies using blockchain method .

What Is BlockChain ?

Blockchain is a new Web 3.0 which is formed by combination of Nodes and does not have any centralised server for its guide . The most famous example of Blockchain cryptocurrency  is Bitcoin .

But cryptocurrency is not the only method which deal with blockchain . The introduction of blockchain is to allow approval of anythings . User are finding various other opportunities because of its endless opportunities apart from just focusing on cryptocurrency .

Etherum is know to be the base of all blockchains . It is generic chain and is open source .

Blockchain is known to be the most secured technology for doing transaction online as it can not be corrupted .

But have you even imagined how Blockchain has been formed ? Every time a transaction initiated by the user , a piece of information is saved in the block , together with grouping various other different amount of transaction . Then the same block included the hash of prior block , thus allowing their connection and linking them . Then those links form of blockchain , an integrity among the previous blocks going straight towards the original block .

Every time a block is created , it just add a chain and is used as last version instead of overwriting the previous one . Each new history version has higher value in comparison to previous one , in such a way that it can select over the other blocks that are already built in .

Blockchain gets updated with the latest version of the chain in order to facilitate secured and faster access . In fact some time some blockchain creates new block and add it to chain every five seconds .

BlockChain : Network Of Nodes , Idea Of Decentralisation

The network of nodes and its decentralisation is what blockchain is all about . In Blockchain each user gets connected to single independent server and thus it is know to be a network of independent computers .The main advantage being the information of the server being stores at different places rather than being stores in centralised server at one place thus facilitating a greater security control .

The another advantage being data transparency . Any one having private key together with the password can step into the chain and can see all the transaction history .

Mobile App Development Companies Using BlockChain On Mobile Gaming Industry

Some of the renowned mobile gaming app development company has started integrating on the concept of blockchain technology on mobile gaming world , in order to facilitate user to use their digital goods across all games rather than waiting them on only one game ,  usually when they finish all the levels or looses their interest from the game .

The Future Of Mobile Gaming Using BlockChain , Some Conclusions

BlockChain technology has been changing the lot of technology by its advance methods , but the mobile gaming industry has not yet much influenced by this method in broad way , as was expected .
This is because each mobile app developer has their one different project . But the truth being that once the mobile app game developers start to implement blockchain on their games , the benefit will go towards user as well as mobile game distributor .
Ofcourse the BlockChain technology is not only limited to mobile gaming industry but can be used across all industry right from polling station , to one to one end chat in encrypted format thus allowing confidential of both receiver and sender .
