5 ways to spot a scam NFT game design
As with other cryptocurrency projects, NFT gaming scams are widespread. Here's how to spot one.
Blockchain games are becoming more and more popular. However, there are ongoing debates in the gaming community about the benefits of NFTs . Some see them as exploitation, while others see them as legitimately useful. However, it cannot be denied that some investors have made money on NFT games.
In light of this, how can you invest in NFT games without burning your hands?
5 ways to spot a scam NFT game
Here are five things to check to avoid getting involved in an NFT game scam.
1. The project team
It is important to understand who is behind the project and how long they have been involved in the NFT community. You can determine this by looking at how long the founder or developer accounts have been active. A well-known project can be more reliable than one involving unknown people.
If information about project teams cannot be verified, this could be a red flag. Although the NFT system favors anonymity, even the most anonymous NFT developers leave a paper trail in the community. However, not knowing who the developers are does not automatically imply that a project is a scam.
2. Reviews
What people say about the project is important. Reviews will allow you to see what other people think about the project and also about the developers.
Unfortunately, the reviews may not be entirely accurate. Businesses pay experts to post favorable reviews of their products and services. Some create hundreds of accounts to create these reviews and create a false public image. For this reason, you shouldn't rely solely on reviews.
3. Engagement on social media
Twitter and Discord are key platforms for building NFT communities. You can monitor projects on these official social networks to see how people interact with them via comments and chats. But, of course, this is not an absolute standard for verifying the authenticity of a game project. At least not as it happens with Bittrader .
People buy fake followers and engagements to make their social media accounts appear bigger. Therefore, it is good to be wary of an account created recently but with many followers. However, some projects become attractive very quickly and thus gain a large number of followers in no time.
4. Project roadmap
A strategic plan must indicate the objective of the project and the desired results. The plan must include the practical steps and milestones necessary to achieve the goal. The roadmap must be clear and easy to understand; it must also be flexible and, at the same time, focused on the big picture and the solutions it brings.
Having a well-defined roadmap is no guarantee of success. It only reveals the creators' goals and expectations for the project, with no guarantee that they will come true. A strategy that seems too ambitious and a project that seems too good to be true could be warning signs. It is also not a good idea to invest in an NFT game if you are unsure of its long-term profitability.
5. Check the NFT
Using a blockchain explorer to verify blockchain metadata is one way to validate the authenticity of an NFT. A blockchain explorer such as Etherscan provides the details of an NFT . For example, it displays block mining activity, transaction fees, ownership history, number of uses, and total number of tokens issued. Additionally, in-game NFT verification will help you distinguish counterfeits from originals.
