Why Chainlink for NFTs and gaming?

Provably random NFT creation and distribution

Chainlink helps ensure that NFT minting, distribution, and trait assignment is carried out in a provably secure manner so users can verify that their unique digital assets are indeed rare and one-of-a-kind.

Unpredictable blockchain gaming experiences
‍

Chainlink brings secure entropy to blockchain games to randomize in-game parameters ranging from character distribution to map generation and everything in between to create truly unpredictable gameplay.

Unbiased prize winner selection
‍

Chainlink enables provably fair lucky draws and DeFi gamification. Easily mint random NFTs with staked DeFi tokens or gamify yield farming rewards with a tamper-proof source of randomness.

Fair loyalty reward allocation

Chainlink empowers projects to distribute verifiably random rewards and giveaways for event participants to drive marketing campaigns and keep existing customer segments engaged.

Trustless ordering processes

Chainlink facilitates fair participant selection for high-demand events. Randomly select users to participate in various events, onboard new DAO members, and break ties in a provably fair way that’s auditable by any user.

Tamper-proof governance decisions

Chainlink offers a tamper-proof source of on-chain randomness to enable an unlimited number of voting processes for satisfying DAOs’ governance needs around fair decision-making.

Infographic diagram with steps on how Chainlink Keepers work with NFT minting.
Use Chainlink Keepers to automatically trigger the minting of NFT assets and Chainlink VRF to assign verifiably random attributes and traits to each minted NFT asset.
Infographic diagram showing how Chainlink VRF creates unpredictable gameplay using randomness.
Use Chainlink VRF to create more engaging and unpredictable gameplay experiences for users, such as using randomness to determine the chance a user has to hit an opponent in an on-chain fighting game based on predefined parameters.
Infographic showing how no-loss prize pools use Chainlink Keepers to start and end game rounds automatically.
No-loss prize pools can use Chainlink Keepers to automatically start and end game rounds. At the start of a round, user deposits are routed to a third-party yield source to generate interest. At the end of a round, Chainlink VRF is used to randomly select one depositor who wins all of the accumulated interest.
Infographic with a diagram explaining how to use Chainlink Data Feeds to determine the most loyal customers.
Use Chainlink Data Feeds to bring engaged customer lists and social media metadata on-chain, which can be cross-referenced by a smart contract to determine the most loyal customers. Chainlink VRF can then be used to randomly select a loyal customer to be rewarded with a brand's loyalty points or unique NFTs in a tamper-proof and unbiased manner.
Infographic diagram shows how Chainlink VRF is used in projects to select or rank users fairly and objectively.
Randomness is a key input to fair selection and order processes, particularly when demand exceeds availability. Projects can use Chainlink VRF to select or rank users in a fair and unbiased manner to participate in high-demand events such as the minting of rare NFTs or access to pre-alpha games.
Infographic showing how DAOs can use Chainlink VRF to fairly select participants.
Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) and other decentralized communities can use Chainlink VRF to fairly and transparently select participants during the creation of a sub-DAO committee or when selecting jurors for an arbitration process.

What is an NFT?

Unique tokenized assets

Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) are digital tokens on a blockchain that each represent something unique, such as a digital piece of art, a special in-game item, a rare trading card collectible, or any other distinct digital or physical asset. NFTs can be considered a “certificate of authenticity” issued by the original creator on a blockchain, providing cryptographic proof of ownership.

Leading projects across NFT and gaming ecosystem choose Chainlink
