In the realm of blockchain games, many people's first reaction is still to issue coins, economic models, and P2E. But if we are to talk about the core breakthrough, it is actually the ZK technology that incorporates fairness into the game logic.

In traditional games: opening boxes, drawing cards, and rolling dice all depend on what the manufacturers say, believing it is left to chance; strategy gameplay requires verifying rules, often having to reveal your cards to the backend, losing privacy; as for leaderboards and achievements, there are numerous cheats and ranking manipulation.

In summary: there is a lack of verifiable trust between players and the platform.

The advantages of @ZKVProtocol precisely address the pain points:

Randomly Verifiable → Shuffling and rolling dice can generate proof, players can check at any time, what the operator says does not count, mathematics counts.

Hidden Verifiable → Players can prove they are following the rules without revealing their cards or strategies, preserving privacy.
Verifiable results → Leaderboards and achievements come with cryptographic proof to eliminate score manipulation.
Why is the gambling industry the first to adopt it? It's simple: because the money is on the table, no one is willing to just listen to the "house rules." ZK brings fairness on-chain, allowing players to verify themselves, while casinos can relax, and compliance and auditing become easier. Once the money scenario is successfully established, other fields can just replicate it.

Looking at it from a broader perspective, ZK can make "fairness" the underlying standard of Web3:
E-sports → Match results and rankings can be verified;
Chain games → Transparent item drops and random events;
Reputation system → Can prove credit score without exposing all history;
DeFi → The strategy can still be kept confidential, but the results can prove compliance.

Web2 games give you entertainment.
Web3 games rely on ZK, providing you with trustworthy entertainment.
