What do Blockchain Games Bring to the Metaverse Table?

Blockchain technology has had quite a ride over its relatively young lifespan but it might be a surprise to see how deeply it's got its hand into the concept of the Metaverse. The literal meaning of Metaverse is'beyond universe' and that might be a good point to start. As all new things always carry a notion of fear, metaverse was actually first introduced in a 1992 book under the name Snow Crash by Neil Stephenson. The science fiction novel is about 3D space that imitates the real world where humans as avatars interact with one another and with software agents as well. While Stephenson coined the term'metaverse', the concept has appeared under various other names in the cyberpunk fiction genre in the 1980s as well.
