However, a growing number of games are being built with Lightning Network integration to enable gamers to receive BTC as a reward for playing.
A report by InvestGame showed that in the first half of 2021, public offerings in gaming went up from USD 4.9bn in 2020 to USD 17.1bn in 2021.
What’s more, adding the Lightning Network as a payment layer to play-to-earn games makes sense for a global audience.
THNDR Games, for instance, is a bitcoin game development company using the Lightning Network to facilitate in-game transactions.
Satoshi’s Games also provides a platform for developers and publishers to build or integrate blockchain-based, play-to-earn economies into their games.
The company acts as a portal for gamers who want to earn bitcoin for playing or streaming and for game developers that want to integrate bitcoin payments via LN into their virtual gaming worlds.
In the bitcoin racing game, Turbo 84, you drive past as many obstacles as you can at an increasing speed.
After solving different levels, you are rewarded with THNDR tickets and stand a chance to win bitcoin in the daily draws.
