Dungeon Defenders II is set to become the “first major game” to offer blockchain rewards, according to developer Trendy Entertainment.
The developer is partnering with software and tech company Signal Zero to utilize Loot, its “decentralized blockchain solution based on player skill.” The blockchain protocol is expected to be integrated into Dungeon Defenders II’s rewards system in Q1 2019.
Loot works by recording player performance on the blockchain, which offers “proof of skill” and generates new tokens by comparing that data to other players’ in-game performances.
“Our partnership with Trendy Entertainment means that Dungeon Defenders II will be the first major game released to allow game publishers and developers to share wealth with players without sacrificing any existing revenue generation,” said Signal Zero founder Tobias Batton.
