CHALLENGES

While there are many exciting potentials and opportunities for blockchain gaming, there are also many substantial obstacles to overcome. The development and profitability of the blockchain gaming sector depend on how well these issues are handled.

  1. SCALABILITY: Scalability remains a major challenge for blockchain gaming, as the current blockchain infrastructure struggles to handle the demands of high-traffic gaming applications.

  2. LOW UTILITY OF NFTs - NFTs are limited in their utility and only useful for the project they are from and have very little other use. Despite the exorbitant amounts paid for NFTs, once things start going well with the game they are bought for, they quickly lose their worth.

  3. ADOPTION AND USER EXPERIENCE: Despite its potential, blockchain gaming faces challenges in gaining wider mainstream adoption, in part due to a lack of user-friendly interfaces and ease of use.

  4. LACK OF INTEROPERABILITY: Lack of interoperability between different blockchain platforms, leading to fragmentation and a hindrance to the growth of the industry.

  5. LIMITED GAME OFFERINGS: The limited number of high-quality games currently available on blockchain platforms, hinders the growth of the market and limits its potential.

  6. HIGH BARRIER TO ENTRY: Developing games for blockchain platforms requires a high level of technical knowledge, creating a high barrier to entry for smaller developers and limiting the diversity of games available.

  7. LOW TRANSACTION SPEEDS: Blockchain gaming transactions can be slow due to the limited processing capacity of the current blockchain infrastructures, leading to a less-than-ideal user experience.

  8. HIGH GAS FEES: High fees associated with blockchain transactions, known as "gas fees," can make it expensive for players to participate in blockchain gaming.

  9. SECURITY CONCERNS: As with any decentralized platform, security concerns such as hacking, fraud, and loss of assets remain a challenge for blockchain gaming.

  10. LACK OF AWARENESS: Lack of awareness among the general public regarding blockchain gaming, which can limit the growth of the market

Though these problems and challenges are many, it does not diminish its potential, or the ability to solve these problems. ShiftZone aims to solve all of these problems with its existence in the present and in the future
