NFT gaming and metaverse projects like Axie Infinity and The Sandbox have generated billions of dollars in sales and generated revenue for millions of players. NFT marketplaces have experienced a stunning boom in activity - OpenSea alone saw $3.4 billion (A$4.72 billion) in trade volume just during the month of August. There's a reason that this is happening and it is extremely relevant to the games industry.

Yat Siu of gaming conglomerate Animoca Brands will share why NFTs and blockchain are of crucial importance to gamers and game developers, and how this technology has the potential to completely revolutionize the future of play as we know it by giving gamers true digital property rights.

Animoca Brands, the company behind NFT projects such as The Sandbox, Phantom Galaxies, F1 Delta Time, Revv Racing, and the Olympics, is an early investor in NFT games, marketplaces, and platforms including Axie Infinity, Nine Chronicles, Polygon, OpenSea, WAX, Decentraland, Dapper Labs and many others.
