Something like this would just be cool for MMOs with craftabke items. People.could confirm you made it and now you’re a virtually famous item designer or blacksmith or whatever.
Except it’s a ledger, not a db. Devs can’t alter the ledger, only provide transactions. You get scammed by a player, someone hacks your account and steals your stuff. The devs might be able to give you replacement stuff, but they can’t take it from the hackers or who you traded to.
This gets worse with crypto where each item is unique. The devs can’t then just make more money/items to replace your loss.
