Decentralization and anonymity solve the problem of violating user privacy in Web3 games

The widespread use of big data in traditional service has made user information less sensitive. Even when personal identifiers such as usernames and identifiers are deleted, the information stored in big data associated with various user behavior is still sufficient to re-identify and track a person.

Relictum Blockchain believes there are two main reasons why users’ confidential data are leaked:

firstly, user data may be transferred or sold by centralized network platforms without efficient protection of user personal privacy;

secondly, the traditional website sign in system usually requires users to provide personal information such as a phone number, email address, or even identity authentication. This means that every virtual account is traceable and matches a real person.

A decentralized and anonymous blockchain can efficiently prevent such problems.

Accounts in Web3 games are displayed as wallet addresses. The wallet is created using smart contracts, and its address and transaction records are transparent and publicly open, but they do not depend on the gaming platform.

On the one hand, there will be no need or channel for gaming platforms to collect or share user data.

On the other hand, due to the blockchain anonymity, the user does not have to provide any personal information when creating a wallet, and therefore the wallet will not be connected to the actual identity of the owner, which efficiently protects the user privacy.
