Gamification , a new method of applying game-like concepts in real life situations that leaves an impact in our daily life such as improving employee engagement in an office. Besides gamification, BlockChain Technology is another upcoming technology that will bring benefit to organizations such as recording transactions in a transparent manner, improving securities and infrastructure of the company.

What is BlockChain Technology?

BlockChain is simply a ledger database distributed to multiple computers all at the same time. Each block has a link to the previous block and timestamp forming a line together and hence, the name Blockchain.  The primary function of Blockchain is to create Bitcoin. Since then, it has increased in value by creating other digital functions and changing the way we do our work and business.

How Gamification Works With Blockchain

Along with Blockchain Technology, gamification plays an important role as companies are using them to interact with their clients and employees in different ways. Here are some of the ways of how gamification can help blockchain technology.

At workplaces, gamification enables employees to interact and increase productivity in the workplace. As kids, reward systems are what motivates us to finish our school homework on time. Same concept applies to motivate employees to be productive and importantly, instill fun and joy in our jobs. Blockchain technology enables transparency by allowing everyone to see each others data and thus, leaving no room for fraud and cheating hence, promoting trust, engagement and reward.

For example, companies use cryptocurrencies and generate tokens through blockchain and given as rewards through gamification promoting engagement. Blockchain will also instill trust in the company by giving tokens accordingly.

Virtual Kitties

One of the examples of a game using blockchain and gamification together is the Cryptokitties.

Cryptokitties is a game that involves ownership of digital kitties. This is a platform where users breed,purchase and trade digital kitties with the usage of smart contracts using Ethereum coins.  They are also able to buy and use Ethereum coins to purchase and upgrade their kittens.
