BitGuild and Tron partner to bring blockchain technology to in-game item ownership

The concept of buying in-game items has been around for long enough for it to be ubiquitous to gamers. But any time you open up the opportunity to purchase objects with real money, you also open up the door to scammers, fraud, and item duplicators. But blockchain technology offers a great way to prove item ownership and provide a robust environment where transactions are transparent, recorded, and verified.

BitGuild — a blockchain gaming platform led by gaming and virtual currency industry veteran Jared Psigoda — announced in the last week a new partnership with Tron, a blockchain-based protocol that aims to construct a worldwide free content entertainment system.
