# The Blockchain The Blockchain is one of these potential new technologies that companies all across the globe are looking at ways to integrate within our popular media. It is a decentralized, public, and shared database that acts as a ledger that records transactions and other forms of selling operations. The Blockchain, in regard to the video game industry, allows for the possibility of ownership over in-game assets. With said ownership, this creates a whole new market for trade, where players can acquire, sell, and collect virtual assets for in-game benefits or for real-world profit. Like most young innovations, early adopters can see a real return on investment as the technology becomes widely adopted and is made mainstream. Judging by this survey, 85% of respondents believed Blockchain Technology would receive mainstream adoption in the next 5 years. It is because of this growth potential within the market and its additional gameplay capabilities that we chose to integrate the Blockchain into our game. ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/FPqGihRST-ae2DSiT1jqmFZQgWuz2YsvvGYtVavYH-k0FCZL1vdMT5fVFNopTiZuyMKOAhixBY0zhgzsmp6SGjRhkXiRnnmAFU2vX-fQ8T7ViVa6MUgHiXkeqzYK4JTVFOiXUjTLkhnp6Sw) ![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/vxq_AcippdkGHZSHLGFB8nKWH69sJ7mcSmfvrYnnYa-abC7A541X62NpSxSDW8cxL5ViHAjBiCHAljh68OGDGWzie4hb6ayE7Zdftc6RmX4DV5o5evt5DoLD-dI0uI0a7pe6UUqOP4Qo_qo) --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
