A new frontier for non-profit funding: Social Virtual Reality

Rachel Breia

Artificial intelligence has been a recurring theme of the silver screen since its earliest days, captivating (and frequently, horrifying) audiences with the prospect of sentient robots capable of equaling mankind’s unique traits like consciousness and ability to feel emotions. Over the decades, potential technological advancements were imagined in a myriad of ways. But more than that, sci-fi movies have also asked questions related to the moral, ethical and societal consequences of the use of technology like AI. In this article, we will be listing the 23 Best artificial intelligence movies that you can watch in 2022. So, in no particular order, let's dive in:


Best AI Movies The Matrix .jpg

It’s been over two decades since audiences were invited to take the red pill and question everything they knew about reality with the Matrix. This cyberpunk masterpiece is set in a not-too-distant future where a robotic AI system has enslaved human beings who are, however, unaware they’re trapped inside a simulated reality. Computer programmer/ hacker “Neo '' stumbles upon the truth and joins a rebellion together with others who had been freed against the Matrix, setting off an epic showdown between humans and dark-suited, sunglasses-sporting ‘Agents’, who’re in autonomous software programs. It’s hard to capture the full extent of the movie’s visionary concept. And what is the Matrix after all you may ask? Well, to quote directly from the movie, “You can’t be told what the matrix is, you have to see it for yourself”. The Matrix series remains a must-watch even after all these years. 

**Synopsis:** Have you ever had a dream that you were so sure was real? What if you couldn't awaken? How would you know the difference between dream and reality? When a beautiful stranger (Carrie Ann Moss) leads computer hacker Neo (Keanu Reeves) to a forbidding underworld, he discovers the shocking truth- the life he knows is the elaborate deception of an evil cyber-intelligence. Neo joins legendary and dangerous rebel warrior Morpheus (Lawrence Fishburne) in the battle to destroy the illusion enslaving humanity.

**Directors:** Lana Wachowski and Lilly Wachowski
**Top cast:** Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne, Carrie-Anne Moss, Hugo Weaving, Joe Pantoliano.
**Critic's rating:** 80% Rotten Tomatoes, 8.7/10 IMDb


Best AI Movies Ex Machina.jpg

With the debate over artificial intelligence and whether the technology will ever become fully conscious as the starting point, Ex Machina follows a young coder as he gets to spend a week at his reclusive boss’s remote mansion, testing his latest creation - an AI robot. The task is to determine whether the humanoid, Ava, is capable of demonstrating humanlike intelligence. However, not everything is as it seems, as the humans behind this tech project come to find out, with some fatal results. This brilliant AI movie has also won an Oscar for Best Visual Effects. 

**Synopsis:** Caleb Smith (Domhnall Gleeson) , a programmer at a huge Internet company, wins a contest that enables him to spend a week at the private estate of Nathan Bateman (Oscar Isaac), his firm's brilliant CEO. When he arrives, Caleb learns that he has been chosen to be the human component in a Turing test to determine the capabilities and consciousness of Ava (Alicia Vikander), a beautiful robot. However, it soon becomes evident that Ava is far more self-aware and deceptive than either man imagined.

**Director:** Alex Garland
**Top cast:** Alicia Vikander, Oscar Isaac, Domhnall Gleeson, Sonoya Mizuno.
**Critic's rating:** 92% Rotten Tomatoes, 7.1/10 IMDb


Best AI Movies Blade Runner.jpg

When it comes to the best sci-fi films, it's hard to top Blade Runner. Based on author Philip K. Dick’s 1968 novel ‘Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?’, Blade Runner is the quintessential cyberpunk classic that plunges viewers into a dystopian universe from which is hard to escape untouched. Set in a neon-lit 2019 LA, the movie pits bioengineered humanoids (human replicants developed without the capacity to have emotions) against real humans. After six Replicants escape to earth in a bid to locate their creator and extend their limited life span of four years, a Blade Runner, played by Harrison Ford, is tasked with finding and shooting these humanoids.

**Synopsis:** “Blade Runner” Deckard (Harrison Ford) is forced by the police Boss (M. Emmet Walsh) to continue his old job as Replicant Hunter. His assignment: eliminate four escaped Replicants from the colonies who have returned to Earth. Before starting the job, Deckard goes to the Tyrell Corporation and he meets Rachel (Sean Young), a Replicant girl he falls in love with.

**Director:** Stanley Kubrick
**Top cast:** Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer, Sean Young, Edward James.
**Critic's rating:** 89% Rotten Tomatoes, 7.7/10 IMDb


Best AI Movies 2001 A Space Odyssey.jpg

Visionary director Stanley Kubrick set out to explore the idea of human coexistence with sentient computers in outer space in this futuristic epic that will have you thinking of red lights in... shall we say... a very different way. We won’t unveil much as to the why, but the cult classic delves deep into the reliance of humans on technology - and what happens when intelligent robots simply decide to rebel and take over. It’s a pretty chilling thought, especially when this dark apocalyptic thriller gets to the now infamous "I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that.”

**Synopsis:** An imposing black structure provides a connection between the past and the future in this enigmatic adaptation of a short story by revered author Arthur C. Clarke. When Dr. Dave Bowman (Keir Dullea) and other astronauts are sent on a mysterious mission, their ship's computer intelligent system, HAL, begins to display increasingly strange behavior, leading up to a tense showdown between man and machine that results in a mind-bending trek through space and time.

**Director:** Stanley Kubrick
**Top cast:** Keir Dullea, Gary Lockwood, William Sylvester, Douglas Rain.
**Critic's rating:** 92% Rotten Tomatoes, 8.3/10 IMDb


A.I. Artificial Intelligence Movie Poster

Best AI Movies A.I. Artificial Intelligence.jpg

Stanley Kubrick had long planned to adapt author Brian Aldiss’s sci-fi short story Super-Toys Last All Summer Long into a movie before his death in 1999. Afterwards, Steven Spielberg inherited the rights to the tale, intending to follow through on Kubrick's original vision. The unrealized project became A.I. Artificial Intelligence, a film about David, a young cybertronic humanoid designed to help a couple overcome the absence of their ailing son. As a first of the kind, David is capable of having human emotions and the plot centers around his attempts to discover his true nature - and the secret behind his identity. Viewers are led to question the deeper issues behind using AI to create human-like systems and the collectible responsibility it should bring with it.

**Synopsis:** A robotic boy, the first programmed to love, David (Haley Joel Osment) is adopted as a test case by a Cybertronics employee (Sam Robards) and his wife (Frances O'Connor). Though he gradually becomes their child, a series of unexpected circumstances make this life impossible for David. Without final acceptance by humans or machines, David embarks on a journey to discover where he truly belongs, uncovering a world in which the line between robot and machine is both vast and profoundly thin.

**Director:** Steven Spielberg
**Top cast:** Haley Joel Osment, Jude Law, Frances O'Connor, Brendan Gleeson, William Hurt.
**Critic's rating:** 75% Rotten Tomatoes, 7.2/10 IMDb


Best AI Movies Minority Report.jpg

Making a comeback, just a year after the release of A.I. Artificial Intelligence, Steven Spielberg delved once more into AI technology with Minority Report. Starring Tom Cruise as Precrime police officer John Anderton, this neo-noir movie is set primarily in Washington, D.C. and Northern Virginia in a distant future, where PreCrime cops are able to arrest criminals based on foreknowledge provided by three psychics known as 'precogs’. The dilemma arises when Anderton is accused of a future crime and has to run from his own unit while trying to prove his innocence.

Minority Report turned out to be predictive of modern computer science, foretelling technologies that have since become commonplace, including personalized ads, voice automation and gesture controlled computers. Even predictive policing, arguably Minority Report’s biggest theme, has become a reality nowadays. PredPol, an AI-based tool, has been deployed in approximately 40 agencies across the United States since 2012 to predict and prevent future crime.

**Synopsis:** Based on a story by famed science fiction writer Philip K. Dick, "Minority Report" is an action-detective thriller set in Washington D.C. in 2054, where police utilize a psychic technology to arrest and convict murderers before they commit their crime. Tom Cruise plays the head of this Precrime unit and is himself accused of the future murder of a man he hasn't even met.

**Director:** Steven Spielberg
**Top cast:** Tom Cruise, Colin Farrell, Samantha Morton, Max von Sydow.
**Critic's rating:** 90% Rotten Tomatoes, 7.7/10 IMDb


Best AI Movies The Terminator.jpg

This Arnie action-packed movie has become one of the most popular sci-fi movies ever made - and it may be the reason why so many of us are distrustful of artificial intelligence technology. In it, Arnold Schwarzenegger plays a cyborg assassin sent back in time from 2029 to 1984 by Skynet, a sentient computer, in order to kill the woman that would one day give birth to the man responsible for saving humanity against a robot threat. James Cameron’s dystopian machine dominance film explores the topic of AI consciousness, superintelligence and tech ethics.

**Synopsis:** Disguised as a human, a cyborg assassin known as a Terminator (Arnold Schwarzenegger) travels from 2029 to 1984 to kill Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton). Sent to protect Sarah is Kyle Reese (Michael Biehn), who divulges the coming of Skynet, an artificial intelligence system that will spark a nuclear holocaust. Sarah is targeted because Skynet knows that her unborn son will lead the fight against them. With the virtually unstoppable Terminator in hot pursuit, she and Kyle attempt to escape.

**Director:** James Cameron
**Top cast:** Arnold Schwarzenegger, Linda Hamilton and Michael Biehn.
**Critic's rating:** 100% Rotten Tomatoes, 8.1/10 IMDb


Best AI Movies Robocop.jpg

Fascination with all things ‘cyberpunk’ reached fever pitch in the 80’s, not just with cult classics like Blade Runner (1982) and The Terminator (1984), but also greatly thanks to Paul Verhoeven’s human/machine action-packed revenge thriller - Robocop. The backdrop of this sci-fi movie is dystopian, crime-ridden Detroit where a police officer named Alex J. Murphy is recreated by a shady megacorporation - Omni Consumer Products - as a cyborg known as RoboCop after being murdered by a vicious criminal gang. The part-man, part-machine super-cop is then tasked with cleaning up the city’s streets, while struggling to understand some of his repressed (human) memories as they resurface. RoboCop is said to be the movie that first raised the issue of AI Ethics, laying out some of the potential dangers of misusing the technology. Despite being over three decades old, RoboCop remains one of the top artificial intelligence films ever made. 

**Synopsis:** In a dystopic, gang-ridden Detroit in near-collapse. In an effort to stamp out crime, the forces in power reconstruct the body of a policeman, killed on duty, within a steel shell and call it RoboCop. Plagued by memories of his death, he hunts down the supervillian responsible for it.

**Director:** Paul Verhoeven
**Top cast:** Peter Weller, Nancy Allen, Dan O'Herlihy, Ronny Cox, Kurtwood Smith.

Best AI Movies I am Your Man.jpg

This German romantic dramedy explores the growing bond between a skeptical scientist, Alma, and an artificial intelligence humanoid, who she is temporarily hosting as part of an experiment for a study. The robot, Tom, was designed specifically to recreate Alma’s idea of a perfect partner, being perfectly tailored to meet her deepest romantic expectations and needs. However, living with this almost pathologically perfect robot companion doesn’t turn out to be quite as expected, as deeper questions of existentialism and the interconnection between human life, love and technology seep through the relationship. More than a rom-com, I Am You Man is a thought-provoking take on the complexity of AI and the man-machine co-existence.

**Synopsis:** Alma is a scientist at the famous Pergamon Museum in Berlin. In order to obtain research funds for her work, she is persuaded to participate in an extraordinary study. For three weeks, she has to live with a humanoid robot tailored to her character and needs, whose artificial intelligence is designed to be the perfect life partner for her.

Tech has long been a silver screen favorite - and AI has become an ever more popular theme. Here's a list of the best artificial intelligence movies and what makes them worth watching right now.

Best Artificial Intelligence Movies: 20+ Titles To Watch Now

Best Artificial Intelligence Movies

Artificial intelligence (AI) is growing at an astonishing pace and as it continues unveiling new promises for the future, AI is also becoming an attractive investment proposition.

The first uses of AI can be seen in today's technology, with interactive apps, voice-driven personal virtual assistants like Siri and Alexa, automated cars, and suggested search ideas seen on search engines like Google.

In the future, artificial intelligence will extend to devices that can autonomously learn and evolve, enhance and create new experiences and offer solutions that one day can match human intelligence. AI supercomputers are also being built to solve complex humankind problems and find solutions to issues like incurable forms of cancer, which will not only make today’s technology obsolete but will open the doors for an even bigger growth of the AI sector as a whole.

Over the next two years, the global artificial intelligence industry is expected to grow to $554 billion in total revenue by 2024, according to market research firm IDC.

And with virtually every major industry being disrupted by this technology, the opportunities for investors are becoming hard to ignore. With that in mind, here are the best artificial intelligence stocks to keep track of in 2022.


## 10 Best AI Stocks In 2022

 

### 1. [Nvidia Corp.](https://www.nvidia.com) (NVDA)

Graphics chip mammoth NVIDIA Corporation ranks at the top of the best artificial intelligence stocks in 2022. The reason why Nvidia is a well regarded company in the industry comes down to its high-end chips that power advanced artificial intelligence applications, including one of the world’s leading supercomputers, Leonardo, as well as its very own upcoming AI supercomputer Eos.

The company is not only a leader in providing chips with massive processing power, Nvidia is equally a major player in semiconductors that are needed to power a number of key technologies like cloud computing, data centers, AI and machine learning capabilities, gaming and, of course, the metaverse.

Google and YouTube parent company Alphabet is currently the world’s largest AI company, focusing on a wide range of global online services. The California-based tech giant owns operations including Youtube, Google Cloud, Google Play, Android, Google Pay, Waze, among many others.

More importantly, Alphabet is a leading name in the artificial intelligence sphere, developing a diverse range of AI services and products, including a self-driving company named Waymo, AI voice interface Google Duplex and being the parent company of DeepMind Technologies, which is dedicated to developing general-purpose artificial intelligence technology (AGI).

In addition, artificial intelligence is deeply integrated into many facets of Alphabet’s business practices, from content promotion to ad pricing, and much more. 

Alphabet has managed to become one of the world's largest technology conglomerates, with a market capitalization of $1.75 trillion as of March, 2022. The company also posted a net income of $76 billion on revenue of $257.6 billion for 2021.

### 3. [Amazon.com Inc.](https://www.amazon.com) (AMZN)

Another key player in AI is Amazon. The e-commerce giant makes extensive use of artificial intelligence across its company wide operations.This includes the algorithms it runs for e-commerce searches, target advertising and Amazon Web Services (AWS). And there is, of course, the widely popular virtual assistant Alexa which is used by 40 million people in the US alone. Amazon might be better known for its e-commerce services but it’s quickly becoming a name to be reckoned with when it comes to AI. Besides the features already mentioned, Amazon also offers a long list of AI applications to its clients, mostly through its AWS, including voice recognition, chatbots and speech-to-text tools that use AI to help developers create their own services.

Besides the features already mentioned, Amazon also offers a long list of AI applications to its clients, mostly through its AWS, including voice recognition, chatbots and speech-to-text tools that use AI to help developers create their own services.

There are many other projects in which Amazon uses AI, including [Amazon’s Prime Air](https://www.amazon.com/Amazon-Prime-Air/b?ie=UTF8&node=8037720011) delivery drones and fully automated grocery stores - [Amazon Fresh](https://www.amazon.com/fmc/m/30003175?almBrandId=QW1hem9uIEZyZXNo).

Earlier, Amazon’s founder and former CEO Jeff Bezos had said about the technology: ”Much of what we do with machine learning happens beneath the surface. Machine learning drives our algorithms for demand forecasting, product search ranking, product and deals recommendations, merchandising placements, fraud detection, translations, and much more. Though less visible, much of the impact of machine learning will be of this type — quietly but meaningfully improving core operations.”

While Amazon’s Q1 2022 revenue report was below estimates (it was the first quarter that the tech giant has posted a net loss in at least four years), Amazon Web Services (AWS) revenue did exceed consensus estimates, seeing a 37% year-over-year (YOY) increase.

### 4. [Meta Platforms Inc](https://about.facebook.com/meta/). (FB)

Meta (formerly Facebook) has started to put increased focus and investment on its augmented- and virtual-reality products and services as part of its plan to build the metaverse. As part of this push, Meta has also doubled down on AI technology, building the AI Research SuperCluster (RSC), which was hailed by the tech giant as the world fastest AI Supercomputer. Meta uses artificial intelligence to power things such as advertising algorithms and news feeds.

As of 2021, the company breaks down its financial results into two segments: Family of Apps (FoA), which includes the Meta’s main social media platform, Facebook, as well as Instagram, Messenger, WhatsApp, and other services, and Reality Labs (RL), which includes the company’s augmented- and virtual-reality products and services like the Quest VR headsets. Meta also recently announced it would be opening its first physical store - the [Meta Store](https://about.fb.com/news/2022/04/meta-retail-store/).

Meta reported a year-over-year growth of just 7% in the first quarter of 2022, the slowest pace of expansion in Facebook’s 10-year history as a public company.

In its most recent earnings report last week, Meta forecast a potential year-over-year revenue drop in the second quarter. Despite the recent tumble, analysts still put Meta at the top of AI stocks to keep an eye out for in 2022.

### 5. [International Business Machines Corp.](https://www.ibm.com) (IBM)

IBM has decades-long worth of research and development of AI applications, most notably its AI supercomputer Watson, which is currently a major competitor alongside other AI companies like Google, Microsoft and Amazon.

In 2022, the company has announced an expansion of AI-based services that extend to finance, healthcare, agriculture, life sciences, manufacturing, and more. The company's tools have been recognised as some of the best for companies to become more efficient across the cycle of operations, including chain management, energy efficiency, and customer engagement. As a younger company compared to others on this list C3.ai is yet to turn a profit, but given its best-in-class offerings that have been adopted across many industries and the AI solutions it has developed, this is still one of the stocks to consider this year.

### 10. [SentinelOne, Inc.](https://www.sentinelone.com) (S)
 
Last but not least, we are highlighting SentinelOne as the company is a leader in the AI software market. In particular, the firm offers both on-premise and cloud-native cybersecurity to organizations, which puts it ahead of competitors with just one of those offerings like CrowdStrike. By making extensive use of AI, SentinelOne can reduce its dependence on human analysis and active internet connections to activate its solutions, while leaving powerful artificial intelligence algorithms and AI technology more broadly to stay ahead in the market. The approach appears to be paying off as the company reported a 120% jump in revenue to $204.8 million at the end of the first quarter of 2022.

## Final Thoughts

Investors should know that investing in artificial intelligence ought to be treated like any other stocks - we suggest you do your own research, assess the fundamentals of each company and make sure you’re investing money you’re comfortable with losing in case of a market downturn (which, hopefully, won’t happen to you). That said, the companies listed above are suggestions and they don’t constitute financial advice on our part.

Gaming is growing faster than ever before. The gaming industry is currently valued at $173 billion, with very positive indicators showing that it will surpass the $300 billion mark in the next five years. Behind this boom is a recent surge in new players, especially in mobile platforms, which have made gaming a more practical and easily accessible experience for the estimated 2.6 billion gamers worldwide.

But for many, being online just for fun is no longer their primary driver. As the saying goes, time is money and players have certainly taken notice that they're making a big investment in virtual experiences with little return. So they’ve started looking for ways to monetize their hobby. However, beyond the world of eSports, there haven't even been many opportunities for casual players to cash in on the effort they put into gaming - until now.

The rise of blockchain games has turned the tables on the gaming industry by making players, and not developers, the main financial decision-makers.Play-to-earn (P2E) crypto gaming is a trend that shouldn't be overlooked. But before we get into the details, it's worth understanding how it all works.


## What are blockchain games?

Blockchain is a form of ledger technology that functions as a recording and storing system for information and it can’t be hacked, tampered with or otherwise altered. A network's transaction history is, in principle, publicly available. Blockchain powers cryptocurrencies, like Bitcoin and Ethereum, opening a world of possibilities across virtual economies - and game developers have certainly realized the potential.

Typically, most games will have marketplaces where users can purchase and exchange items, like weapons, avatars and loot boxes. But they might not own any of it, even if they paid real money for it. That's because for most of gaming history, developers followed a centralized model which means that they've had full control over game dynamics, from the storyline to the game assets collected by players. Since it's all owned by one entity, players have no real ownership of their accounts and items. There are also other limitations associated with this model, including lack of transparency and potential for manipulation of game mechanics.

Blockchain introduced for the first time decentralized and fair virtual markets, where players have a real say as gaming companies no longer have total control over the entire gaming experience. The potential of blockchain in gaming extends beyond powering virtual economies:

Real ownership: blockchain-based games enable players to have real ownership and full control over their in-game assets. Assets are typically represented by unique non-fungible tokens (NFTs). 

Metaverses and interoperability: by linking in-game assets blockchain tokens, players can trade them across different game markets hosted on the blockchain.

Fair experience: blockchain enables the creation of open, distributed, and transparent ecosystems. Players and not gaming companies are in charge of game dynamics, and gamers can vote in favor of changes. This also prevents cheaters from spoiling the experience. 

Unlimited creativity: when a game runs on a centralized server, the developers can decide to shut it down at any time. With blockchain, players can continue playing a game even if the developers are no longer involved, and organically grow games with new narratives and assets. 

In 2017, the game [CryptoKitties](https://www.cryptokitties.co/) became the leading driver of this revolution by allowing users to buy, sell, and create different kinds of virtual kittens in the form of NFTs, or non-fungible tokens, which turn each virtual kitten into a unique, collectible digital asset. The rarer the kitten, the higher the value it holds (the most expensive Cryptokitten was sold for $172,000).

This kickstarted a thriving virtual market that has since extended to many other titles.

## Can you earn money from blockchain games?

As mentioned, there are two features that make blockchain games unique: the integration of cryptocurrencies, which are used for in-platform payments, and the use of NFTs. NFTs are a significant step forward as they allow users to own unique assets that can be traded with other players within the same game or transferred between platforms. And much like in real-life economies, you can make money from marketplaces inside blockchain games.

The most dedicated players can earn tangible rewards for their creations, while those with artistic inclinations can design and sell collectible items. The potential is immense and game developers are only just getting started.

And some have entered the world of gaming just to become investors, while others have made it their [full-time occupation.](https://english.elpais.com/usa/2021-08-12/when-playing-video-games-becomes-a-full-time-job.html)

## How to get started with blockchain games?

So if you're convinced by what you've read so far, it's time to roll up your sleeves and get this going.
Let's break it down: first off, you'll need a computer or mobile device. Easy enough, right?
Then you'll have to pick a cryptocurrency exchange platform to convert your money into, well, cryptocurrency. There are [plenty of exchanges available](https://www.forbes.com/advisor/investing/best-crypto-exchanges/), but the important thing is to choose one that fits your needs. Also, you might want to consider purchasing Ether since the majority of crypto gaming is based on the Ethereum blockchain. Ok, so now that you've got some Ether, what will you do with it? The same you'd do with physical money - find a place to store it and keep it safe. This is where you'll have to open a digital wallet, and again, there are [lots of options](https://www.investopedia.com/best-bitcoin-wallets-5070283) to choose from. From here, all that's left to do is pick a game to play.
And you're all set.

## Top Blockchain Games 2022

When compared to the traditional gaming industry, blockchain gaming is still very much a niche. But that isn't to say that can be scoffed at. While still a small parentage of the whole segment, there are now hundreds of crypto games and they're slowly racking up millions of players ([and a whole lot of money](https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/currencies/ethereum-axie-infinity-cryptocurrencies-tokens-slp-axs-markets-2021-8)).

So here's a quick look at the movers and shakers of the crypto gaming scene:

 

### Axie Infinity

The undisputed king of all crypto games, Axie Infinity has taken NFTs to a stratospheric level. Described by some as a Pokemon-like experience, this game is populated by Axies (or digital creatures), with each being an NFT. Players can buy, exchange and breed Axies, and also used them to battle other players or teams in seasonal tournaments. Rare Axies can be worth thousands of dollars and a plot of virtual land recently sold for $1.5 million. What sets Axie Infinity apart from other gaming platforms is its booming virtual economy, where in-game tokens — Smooth Love Potion (SLP) and Axie Infinity Shard (AXS) - are seeing massive gains (of [up to 5,700%](https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2021/07/23/axie-infinity-token-price-doubles-in-2-days/) as of recently). And unlike other big-name players, Axie also encourages players to cash out. Finally, AXS can be converted to Ether or fiat. The game has been a particular hit in some countries, particularly in the Philippines, where players have gone from making it a side hustle to a [full-time occupation.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yo-BrASMHU4)

### Blankos Block Party

Mythical Games was, of course, already a household name well before entering the crypto gaming market with Blankos. This game allows you to create your own colorful characters in the form of digital vinyl toys, with a focus on customized designs. It also lets users build and explore virtual worlds where they can collect unique 'Blankos', join quests and be a part of team games ("Block Parties"). Limited edition Blankos have been a major draw for investors, especially given the success of partnerships with names like Deadmau5 and Burberry.

### Upland

This blockchain-based game lets users buy, sell and trade virtual land mapped to the real world. "Digital landlords" can build properties and earn UPX coins. The project has mapped the cities of San Francisco and New York and allows you to buy virtual properties for sale linked to real-life addresses in these cities. More recently, the game implemented a Property-to-USD beta program that will allow players to sell properties for some real Benjamins.

### Mobox

This free-to-play option combines gaming with decentralized finance (DeFi) and runs on the Binance Smart Chain. The developers of Mobox have said that this approach will bring gaming closer to GameFi as a platform where players and investors can access games from different blockchains in one single place. The main goal of the game is to allow players to participate in NFT games freely and earn money by playing. MBOX tokens are used for transaction processing, staking and governance in order to influence the development and allocation of resources within the MOBOX ecosystem. Currently, there are three games available on the platform, with two more games expected to be announced sometime soon.

### Lightnite

Developed by the same team behind the Bitcoin arcade game portal Satoshi’s Games, Lightnite has been defined as a Fortnite-like battle royale game. This online multiplayer game rewards players with Bitcoin for shooting other players and microtransactions are entirely powered by the Lightning Network. Players who master the game and shoot more players have higher chances of earning more Bitcoin. On the other hand, players who get shot are penalized and lose Bitcoins. Lightnite's. All in-game assets can be tokenized and exchanged through an NFT marketplace - the Elixir Marketplace platform.

### Gods Unchained

As one of the many games inspired by Magic: The Gathering, this card fighter title is very similar to Hearthstone. Users build decks and play cards to fight and defeat opponents. As a blockchain-based game, players are able to completely own the cards they win and sell or trade them at will. Like physical collectible card games, some cards are incredibly rare and can be valued in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. For the more skeptical players who aren't ready to go all-in, there's a free-to-play option.

### CryptoKitties

It might have been one of the first games to draw attention to the potential of blockchain gaming and the one that opened the doors to the crypto-collectibles market, but CryptoKitties remains as popular as ever. Users can buy, breed and trade adorable cartoon-like cats with varying levels of rarity. As with other blockchain games, you own the cats and can sell them freely. CryptoKitties is a very simplistic but addictive game. However, buying and breeding new kittens has somewhat high Ether costs, which can hit your wallet quite hard.

### Splinterlands

Another game that is reminiscent of Pokémon, Yugi-oh and Magic, Splinterlands is a successful example of a card fighter experience with a player-driven economy. All cards and packs have real value and can be traded freely, and the game is simple and easy to learn. Players can purchase new cards through the official in-game shop or in the marketplace. Splinterlands has frequent expansions and updates, racking up an increasing number of players along the way. Rare cards have been released during recent updates, making the game an even more appealing prospect for players.

### Sandbox

Players in this virtual world, or metaverse, can own land, build, play, and participate in virtual experiences. By owning a sandbox plot of virtual land, you can monetize the experiences you create within the metaverse, which can be an interesting activity for artists or small developers who aren't at ease with other game engines. All Sandbox features can be purchased and sold using the SAND token, and ultimately players contribute toward constantly expanding this metaverse. More than just buying and selling virtual land, players can also trade NFTs that can be used to customize their avatar's appearance. Sandbox has become as popular as Minecraft and Roblox, and places great focus on developing a thriving community of users who can interact and share ideas to create more innovations across the platform.

### Cryptopop

For many players, this game might seem familiar. And indeed, Cryptopop takes inspiration from the hugely popular game Candy Crush. Players can earn points by matching the symbols of cryptocurrencies as they appear on screen. The higher the amount of matches, the greater the amount of points accumulated and targets change according to the levels unlocked. Players can also earn more money when participating in the in-game market, where they can also openly trade with other players. Cryptopop uses Ether and Popcorn as its main currencies.

### Illuvium

While technically a yet-to-be-released game, Illuvium has been gathering plenty of attention with the promise that it will be the first AAA game on Ethereum. But one thing is clear: Illuvium has all the right reasons to spark broad appeal. This open-world fantasy battle game is built on the Ethereum blockchain and is inhabited by creatures known as Illuvials, each with different abilities, classes and categories. Players can capture them and have them battle other Illuvials. Or they can simply sell their creatures in return for ILV tokens. Unlike many other games, 100% of in-game profits go back to players and stakeholders, and players are given the right to vote in product-related decisions via the Illuvian DAO.

## Why should you try crypto games?

There's nothing new about players wanting to monetize their gaming abilities and the time they spend in front of a screen. Blockchain gaming opens the doors wide open. Not only can you make money in transparent and fair virtual economies, you’ll also have real ownership of game assets and you’re effectively a stakeholder by contributing to a community-driven ecosystem (DAO) and having your voice heard on game-related decisions. None of this was possible in traditional, centralized gaming and as more crypto games emerge, the bigger the incentive for more players to join fairer and transparent virtual experiences.

Play-to-earn crypto gaming is a trend that shouldn't be overlooked. Blockchain games are turning the tables on the gaming industry by making players, and not developers, the main financial drivers. Check out the best blockchain games in 2022!


Best Blockchain Games To Play And Earn In 2022

Best Blockchain Games

A year ago, at the start of 2021, only a small group of people on the internet really knew what NFTs were. And while non-fungible tokens have been around since the mid-2010’s, it was the now infamous Christie’s [auction](lhttps://www.christies.com/features/Monumental-collage-by-Beeple-is-first-purely-digital-artwork-NFT-to-come-to-auction-11510-7.aspx) of Beeple’s ‘Everydays: the First 5000 Days’ that really kicked the NFT craze off. By the end of last year, $41bn had been spent on NFTs and now the world is all over the media, social networks, talk shows and day to day conversations. Crypto investors and enthusiasts have been quick to rush to all things NFT, but you too might now be interested in developing your own NFTs or leveraging your business with non-fungible tokens. Before you do, it’s worth understanding the different blockchain standards available, how to best compare them in connection to your needs and the considerations to bear in mind so you can make the right choice.


## What is a blockchain?

Let’s start from the beginning. A blockchain is a decentralized database that is managed by a network of peer-to-peer computers. As it is decentralized, there is no central authority mediating transactions or having oversight over the network. All transactions within a blockchain take place in blocks that are verified and validated by, as earlier mentioned, a network of computers. By using complex cryptography, each block comes with a data record of previous blocks (or transactions) and a timestamp. Given the architecture of a blockchain, it would be incredibly difficult for anyone to hack it and tamper with the information contained in the blocks. This makes blockchain technology a safe way of executing transactions without the need for an intermediary. Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) are tokens that are minted (created) on blockchains. Each NFT will have their unique identifier in the form of a code, which is associated with an address inside the chain. Using the blockchain’s system of tracking and securing information, NFTs can become a reliable form of recording of information like the creation, sale or re-sale of a digital item.


## What should you know before choosing a blockchain for NFTs? 

Thanks to blockchain technology, a wide variety of assets can be tokenized and the use cases are immense, from entertainment and logistics to ticketing and real estate. As such, not all blockchains will be suitable for the development of the NFTs you might have in mind. When searching for the best platform, there are several features to take into account:

**Transaction speed**

Ideally, you’ll be looking for a blockchain that can support a high number of transactions per second as this could prove to be a make or break element when it comes to the success of your NFT development project. If transactions take a long time to finalize, it creates a bottleneck. Users can choose to pay an extra fee to miners in order to have their transactions prioritized or risk waiting for long periods of time. This creates an opportunity for potential attackers to tamper with transactions, something you clearly won’t want to see happening.

**Transaction costs**

All transactions on a blockchain cost money. And, let’s be honest, most NFTs are unlikely to be sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars. If you’re looking to keep your costs under control when developing NFTs, it’s always smart to compare the fees charged to settle transactions in a blockchain.

**Smart contract functionality**

NFTs are implemented and executed using smart contracts which set the terms of an exchange between a buyer and a seller without the need for an intermediary. A reliable blockchain should have robust and fool-proof contracts as the opposite could lead to frauds and scams on the network. In order to prevent problems with the language of the contracts, which can lead to tokens being lost, a blockchain should have safeguards in place.

**Security**

Needless to say that an ultra-secure blockchain is the option you should be looking for unless you’re willing to risk losing your resources and data. What you’ll be looking for is a blockchain that relies on an alternative consensus mechanism like proof of stake versus proof of work as the latter is more prone to being the target of attacks.

**Forking**

The allure of NFTs are their uniqueness and rarity, and the last thing you ever want to imagine happening is the value of your non-fungible tokens going to zero. That’s something that can happen through hard forks which lead to NFT duplicates. The possibility of forking is then a major consideration to keep in mind and you’ll likely want to search for fork-proof solutions.

In addition to all the features mentioned, different blockchains will have their own marketplace integration and interoperability possibilities as well as the application possibilities their NFTs could have. This can be a significant factor when choosing NFT marketplaces, for example, and determining which blockchain meets your long-term needs.



## What are the top blockchains for NFT development?

 

### [Ethereum](https://ethereum.org/en/)

Ethereum Best NFT Blockchains.jpg

Ethereum has so far won the race when it comes to crypto and NFTs, despite some stiff competition for other blockchains. As the original blockchains for NFT, it remains the most widely used blockchain for minting NFTs, no doubt thanks to how simple and easy it is to use. Another part of its appeal had to do with the number of top NFT marketplaces that leverage the Ethereum network like [OpenSea](https://opensea.io/), [Rarible](https://rarible.com/) and [Decentraland](https://decentraland.org/), all of which use the ERC721 standard. This Ethereum standard ranks among the most trustworthy when it comes to creating non-fungible tokens. However, it might not be the best network for those looking for cheaper gas fees. Ethereum has seen the cost of minting NFTs surging as demand in the Ethereum blockchain becomes heavier, which has also led to congestion and scalability complaints in the past, not to mention the controversies it has faced over its proof-of-work system which is a heavily energy-consuming option for minting NFTs and settling network transactions.


### [Binance Smart Chain](https://www.binance.org/en)

Binance Smart Chain Best Blockchain NFTs.jpg

As mentioned Ethereum has faced multiple issues that have seen users turning to cheaper and even faster alternatives. Binance Smart Chain is a parallel blockchain platform to the Binance Chain network and it specializes in smart-contract-based applications and features compatibility with the [Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)](https://academy.binance.com/en/articles/what-is-ethereum#how-does-ethereum-work), all while maintaining fast transaction speeds and charging low gas fees. Given its EVM-compatibility, this blockchain can support a whole range of Ethereum DApps and tools, opening up opportunities for both developers and users. The Binance Smart Chain supports token standards like the BEP2E token and the ERC-20 token (ETH) as well as its native cryptocurrency, the Binance Coin (BNB).

### [Polygon](https://polygon.technology/)


Polygon Best NFT Blockchains.jpg

Polygon is a Layer 2 blockchain that has become known for being one of the most reliable and affordable blockchains out there. The world’s largest NFT marketplace, [OpenSea](https://opensea.io/), has Polygon NFTs integrated into its platform and some of the most popular NFT-based games like [Aavegotchi](https://aavegotchi.com/) and [Polychain Monsters](https://polychainmonsters.com/), also use Polygon’s scaling technology to ensure more dynamic experiences. A feature that appeals to users is its ‘lazy minting’ functionality,, meaning that there are no upfront costs when creating NFTs. There is, however, a fee that is charged when an NFT is sold. Layer 2 blockchain networks are designed for efficiency and Polygon is no different, offering near-zero transaction fees and quick settlement times while also being a low energy option.

### [Solana](https://solanart.io/)

Solana Best NFT Blockchains.jpg

Despite being an up-and-coming blockchain, Solana has seen a massive surge in adoption, posing some serious competition to the likes of Ethereum and Cardano. And it’s clear why crypto and digital art enthusiasts have started their NFT minting on this chain. Solana has a solid reputation as a high-efficiency blockchain capable of processing 65,000 TPS while keeping fees at less than $0.01. Unlike any other blockchain, Solana combines proof-of-history (PoH) and proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus mechanisms, which helps secure quicker-than-average validation times for both transaction and smart contract execution. Another attractive functionality is scalability and that’s evident by the speed of growth of the Solana ecosystem that now encompasses, among others, some of the top NFT platforms like [Solanart](https://solanart.io/) and [Magic Eden](https://www.magiceden.io/). In addition, this blockchain is a low carbon alternative to other chains (the developer claims one Solana transaction consumes less energy than two Google searches). You might have also heard of Solana before because of its native cryptocurrency, SOL, whose value has also shot up as of recently.


### [Flow](https://www.onflow.org/)

Flow focuses specifically on supporting game and metaverse NFTs as well as assets like digital collectibles, leveraging the long experience of its developer, [Dapper Labs](https://www.dapperlabs.com/), which has had tremendous success with projects like [CryptoKittes](https://www.cryptokitties.co/), [Dapper Wallet](https://www.meetdapper.com/) and, of course, the [NBA Top Shot](https://nbatopshot.com/). Flow is a high-performance blockchain that has a number of integration and interoperability features that make it especially desirable for decentralized apps (Dapps), including NFT marketplaces. In addition, the Flow blockchain allows anyone to become a validator (also known as miner) for the blockchain without the need for any particular requirements like specialized equipment, meaning that joining Flow is a fairly easy process. Moreover, this blockchain uses the proof-of-stake algorithm which keeps costs low while ensuring that the platform is environment-friendly. Other characteristics that make it a cut above the rest include finality of transactions, upgradable smart contract features, human readable security and smart use account recovery options.

### [Cardano](https://cardano.org/)


Cardano Blockchain.jpg


Cardano is a distributed proof-of-stake blockchain, founded by Ethereum's co-founder Charles Hoskinson. The platform is focused on scalability and efficiency while enabling robust applications and settling transactions in its own native currency - ADA. Cardano was also developed to be an environment-friendly blockchain. One of its key advantages is being able to secure high performance at 65,000 transactions per second, making it one of the fastest blockchains available. As if that wasn’t impressive enough, its upcoming Layer 2 scaling protocol, called Hydra, could see that number being boosted up to [2 million TPS](https://summit.cardano.org/sessions/hydra-the-multi-headed-scalability-protocol). The transaction costs on this blockchain are also fairly [low](https://messari.io/asset/cardano/chart/txn-fee-avg) when compared to the competition. Just like the Binance blockchain, it features Ethereum Virtual Machine compatibility to support Ethereum-based smart contracts and DApps.

### [Immutable X](https://www.immutable.com/)





Immutable X Blockchain.jpg

Immutable X is another great Layer 2 blockchain that focuses on allowing NFTs to be developed in an open, decentralized ecosystem, secured by Ethereum. This allows anyone to create an NFT project without having to worry about congestion, scalability or slow developer experience. This blockchain also has a zero gas fees system for peer-to-peer transactions and relies on its native currency IMX (an ERC-20 utility token) for governance, staking and fee payment purposes. When it comes to transaction speeds, Immutable X currently supports 9,000 TPS.


### [Tezos](https://tezos.com/)



Tezos Blockchain.jpg

This emerging open-source blockchain is based on a liquid proof-of-stake algorithm, which Tezos claims is aimed at encouraging the collaboration and participation of its users who are responsible for overseeing the governance of the network and ensuring future upgradability features. Participation is done through holding the native cryptocurrency of this platform - Tez. It’s important to note that Tezos has three token standards, but only one of them, the FA2, is designed to mint NFTs. The blockchain is capable of facilitating as much as up to 40 TPS, for less than a penny per transaction. A number of marketplaces where users can easily mint, buy and sell NFT collections work on the Tezos blockchain, including [Hicetnunc](https://hicetnunc.art/) and [Kalamint](https://kalamint.io/).

### [Wakatta](https://wkt.io/)


Wakatta Blockchain.jpg

Wakatta is an NFT-focused blockchain developed by [Sensorium DLT](https://sensoriumxr.com/dlt), with the purpose of catering to the needs of the entertainment industry. This blockchain was developed using the Substrate technology framework, the same that powers the Polkadot ecosystem, and has a number of attractive features like ultra-low network transaction fees set at an average of<$0.001 and the capability to support 1000+ TPS. Unlike other blockchains, Wakatta has brought to market a new range of pioneering NFTs that are upgradable, time-limited, and non-hashed. NFT developers can also benefit from Ethereum Virtual Machine compatibility, on-chain NFT auctions, multi-role assignments for Dapps, customizable onboarding mechanics for digital environments, algorithmic incentives for validators, among many others.

NFTs are a tech trend that can't be missed. If you're looking to jump in and leverage the potential of non-fungible tokens, here's a quick guide to the best blockchains for NFT development. 

Best Blockchains For NFT Development

If there’s one thing we’re learning in 2022 is that the crypto market is still young and facing intense volatility.

And yes, I know, trying to to understand how cryptocurrencies work can be complicated and time-consuming at best. It doesn’t help either that the language can sound like over the top jargon most of the time. But don’t let that deter you.

Whether you’re a newcomer or someone who finally wants to crack the mystical market cryptocurrencies, perhaps it’s time to consider turning to a robo-advisor and automate your digital asset investments.

That way you won’t have to spend hours researching and tracking the crypto market, and you’ll be able to invest in the cryptocurrency market with minimal effort.

But what are robo-advisors, and what do they do? Here’s an overview that can help you decide whether a robo-advisor might be a good fit for your goals and the top platforms that you should be looking at in 2022.

## What Is A Robo-Advisor

Simply put, a robo-advisor is an automated investment service that relies on computer algorithms and complex software to manage financial portfolios.

Since being developed over a decade ago, these types of automated advisors have become increasingly popular, in particular with novice investors. That isn’t to say that more experienced investors can’t reap the benefits of using this service as well.

Robo-advisors are a great option for those of us who don’t have the time to keep up with the markets or simply don’t want the anxiety of managing our own portfolios.

There are many benefits in choosing an automated advisor over a traditional financial advisor. Let’s look at how this all works.

When you sign up for a robo-advisor, you’ll be asked to complete a questionnaire to assess your personal preferences such as your financial goals, time horizon, and risk tolerance. Based on this data, robo-advisors weigh your personal preferences against unpredictable market forces, like volatility and asset class performance, to recommend the diversified portfolio strategy that better meets your needs.

From here, you can set it and forget it, so that your funds will be managed and rebalanced automatically by your robot advisor.

Choosing a robot advisor can be a good move to invest in the stock market with minimal effort and peace of mind. They’re also typically cheaper than traditional advisors as they charge less fees, including the minimum initial deposit.

## What Is a Crypto Robo-Advisor

A crypto robo-advisor is an online platform that will manage your crypto investments automatically. Instead of a human financial advisor, advice specializing in cryptocurrencies and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) is being generated by algorithms so that your financial goals are reached while you get the peace of mind that comes from knowing your digital assets work hard for you.

Just like with the robo advisor strategy we described earlier, a crypto robo-advisor takes an algorithm-driven approach to assess a user’s preferences, risks, and goals, and creates a crypto investment portfolio in accordance with that information.

Automated crypto advisors will also provide services such as portfolio rebalancing and tax-strategy products, depending on where you live, as well as having recommendations on which digital assets you might want to buy, hold, or sell.

The crypto market can be especially daunting for newcomers, so choosing a crypto advisor that will manage your portfolio automatically and that lets you track your investments without the time and effort that it takes to do it all by yourself, can be a great advantage.

## How Do Crypto Robo-Advisors Work

Based on advanced algorithms and automation, robo advisors are an investment platform that is both convenient and affordable. Here’s how a typical automated advisor works:

### Create an account and deposit money

The first step in setting up a crypto robo portfolio is opening an account and depositing a cryptocurrency. The minimum amount required to open investment accounts will vary depending on the platform you’ve chosen.

### Assess your investor profile

Once you’ve opened your account, you’ll likely be asked to complete a questionnaire so that the crypto robo-advisor is able to establish your investing profile based on parameters such as financial objectives, timeframe and risk preferences.

### Your robo-advisor creates a crypto portfolio

Based on your preferences, your robo-advisor will allocate you to a suitable basket of investments, made up of different digital assets.

### Enjoy your portfolio being automatically managed

Once your portfolio is set, the robo-advisor takes care of the rest, periodically rebalancing and optimizing your investments using different algorithms.

### Withdraw money whenever you choose

This may depend on the robo-advisor you’ve chosen, but most platforms will let you access and withdraw funds at any time. This flexibility is certainly a major plus when compared to other platforms in traditional finance.

### [M1 Finance](https://m1.com/invest/crypto/)


M1 Finance Crypto Robo-Advisor.png

M1 Finance is a leading personal finance platform with more than $5 billion in assets, offering its clients the possibility to invest in crypto assets via a robo-advisor.

According to the company, the goal is to remove some of the barriers to investing by automating certain aspects of investing in crypto like fund allocation, risk management, and recurring investments.

M1 offers up to 10 coins, including (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and other large-cap liquid crypto assets. 

One of M1 Finance’s key offerings is pie-based investing strategy, which essentially allows users to create a portfolio of “Pies” in which each asset and its exposure percentage is represented as a slice on a pie graph. The crypto robo-advisor service is backed by algorithmic software that can automatically balance each portion of the pie, depending on the user’s initial investment strategy or asset allocations.

Here’s how the company [explains](https://m1.com/blog/why-crypto-on-m1/) its approach in more detail:

**Creating custom and expert-built crypto Pie**s

Users choose a crypto portfolio that fits their financial goals and risk tolerance. You can build custom crypto Pies or use Expert Pies, which are pre-built using thematic strategies such as DeFi, Web3, and large-cap crypto.

**Setting target allocation based on your strategy**

Decide what percentage allocation makes sense for your overall portfolio based on your investment thesis. Then, set target allocations for each crypto asset and change them as needed over time.

**Staying aligned with dynamic rebalancing**

Some major cryptocurrencies have seen great volatility as of late, leading your initial target allocations may shift. Dynamic rebalancing reallocates your funds with every recurring deposit and investment to realign your portfolio with your financial goals.

**Setting up an investing schedule using recurring deposit**s.

Recurring deposits make it easier to automate how much money you put into your account. If you follow long-term investing strategies like dollar-cost averaging, recurring deposits help you consistently invest in your chosen crypto assets.

**Commission-free investing**

AM1 is commission-free. You’ll be able to set and automate your investment strategies the same way you currently do with stocks and ETFs on M1, but you’ll hold crypto assets in a separate, secure custodial wallet powered by Apex Crypto. Your crypto assets will not be loaned or pledged.

Users should bear in mind that M1 is currently only available within the U.S.

### [Wealthfront](https://www.wealthfront.com/)



Wealthfront Robo Advisor.png

Wealthfront is a robo-advisor firm with over $25 billion assets under management, and one of the top-performing digital wealth management platforms in the world.

The firm offers options for crypto exposure with two investment options - the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) and the Grayscale Ethereum Trust (ETHE).

Those products are similar to exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and give users exposure to the price movement of Bitcoin and Ethereum, respectively.

The trusts are meant to provide “indirect exposure to cryptocurrency”, but investors opting to purchase units of the trusts won’t be able to allocate more than 10% of their portfolio.

Understanding the nature of the crypto market and the potential for high volatility, Wealthfront offers a rebalancing option in case the value of the crypto trusts suddenly rises or falls and the percentage of the digital assets deviates five percentage points from the investor’s target.

This robo-advisor offers a competitive 0.25% management fee and free management of balances under $5000.

5 Best Crypto Robo-Advisors You Need To Know In 2022

Matias Lapuschin

Blockchain hardware wallets are the most secure way to store your Bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies. A hardware wallet is a small physical device that safely stores your private keys in an offline location. If you are serious about trading crypto and the security of your digital assets, it is essential to invest in hardware wallets. Some seasoned traders even have multiple hardware wallets. There are a lot on the market so we will run through the best hardware wallets to help you make an informed decision. 

Hardware wallets can help crypto traders feel more connected to their funds and provide peace of mind that those assets are secure 24/7. Many traders may argue that most exchanges have reasonable security measures in place, but they are by no means bullet-proof. There have been a number of breaches over the years with some investors losing millions of dollars worth of crypto. Not worth the risk, right? A crypto wallet that offers cold storage mitigates this risk. 

You’ll find some exchanges that are a little shady or don’t invest enough in their security, unbeknown to their clients. Even if you are storing your crypto on the most well-regarded exchange, the bottom line is you are not in control of your assets. Your private keys are held by the exchange so if something goes awry, there is nothing you can do about it. 

The top crypto exchanges make security a top priority, often storing funds in cold storage - an offline mode that adds a layer of protection against hackers. Most will also require a Know Your Customer (KYC) process on sign up and have two-factor authentication in place. The drives that hold users private keys are sometimes even stored in highly secured vaults, lauded over by armed guards. Does this deter hackers? Definitely not…there is too much money at stake for them to steal. With new technological advances everyday, hackers can eventually find loopholes and ways around the most fortified security systems. 

In addition to this, is the question of ownership. You have invested in the crypto so should have full control over what is done with that investment, including having the keys to it in your possession. 

So what happens now if you decide you no longer want to store your crypto on an exchange. There are three options available to you. The first option is storing your crypto on a mobile wallet via a mobile app. Mobile wallets do provide you with greater control over your digital assets and give you more freedom to use the funds to pay for goods and services. Their downside? These crypto wallets are connected to the internet so remain vulnerable to attacks. 

Your next option is a paper wallet. With this route, you will print out your private keys, usually in the form of a QR code and store them somewhere secure. This does have its benefits, particularly if you plan on storing your crypto coins for years without selling or trading. 

The third option is a hardware wallet, the best crypto wallet for serious traders who hold large amounts of crypto. Read on for an explanation of what a blockchain hardware wallet is and for a list of the best hardware wallets. Each hardware wallet we cover below includes a very important security feature which is enabling backups of your private keys. This way if you ever lose your wallet you have the ability to restore your wallet and funds. It's vital to keep your security seed phrases somewhere safe to be sure you never lose access to your digital assets and lose money.

## What is a blockchain hardware wallet?

As mentioned above, blockchain hardware wallets are physical devices that allow you to store private keys offline (cold storage), adding a layer of protection against hackers and scammers. When you create a cryptocurrency wallet, you receive a public key and private key. The public key is used to generate your public cryptocurrency address so you can buy and sell crypto. The private key is used to verify transactions and confirm ownership of the crypto and wallet on the blockchain, essentially acting as your digital signature. 

If someone gets ahold of your private key, they have access to your funds. This is why it is vital that private keys are stored securely. When you create a hardware wallet, it will generate a mnemonic phrase - also called a seed phrase - which lets you recover your wallet if you lose it. 

Hardware wallets use two-factor authentication (2FA) so when you need to access your crypto, you will need to provide proof of identity through the physical wallet and wallet PIN code. 

Hardware wallets can be connected to your laptop, desktop or mobile device to safely manage and use your crypto. All transactions are facilitated on the device, preventing anyone other than you from accessing your private keys. There is a separate screen on the device where you can verify and approve transactions so that none of your private information is shared with devices connected to the internet. 

When selecting a hardware wallet, there are some important factors to consider:

**Security:** obviously security is of the utmost importance, so be sure you are choosing the most secure hardware wallet.

**Supported Coins:** there’s no use selecting a hardware wallet that doesn’t support the cryptocurrency coins you hold. Most hardware wallets hold the major coins like BTC and ETH, but if you hold a number of altcoins, some blockchain hardware wallets might not be suitable for you. 

**Costs:** if you hold a small crypto portfolio, then it doesn’t make sense to spend a lot of money on a fancy hardware wallet. Prices for hardware wallets vary so select one that is in line with the value of your crypto. 

**Buy Direct:** it is essential you only buy your hardware wallets directly from the makers. Some scammers may buy hardware wallets, extract the seed phrases and then resell them. When buyers load their crypto onto the device, the scammers then have access and can withdraw the funds. So never buy off eBay or any other marketplace other than directly off the suppliers website. 

**User-friendly:** the hardware wallet should be easy to use and set up. If the set up is too complicated, you run the risk of losing all your funds if you make mistakes. 

**Compatibility:** check whether the hardware wallet is compatible with the operating systems used by your devices.  

Hardware wallets can do more than simply holding crypto, in fact there are many useful things you can do with a blockchain hardware wallet. Software, like Ledger Live, that connects to your hardware wallet allows you to buy, swap, lend and stake cryptocurrency securely. In addition to this, you can access DApps, DEXs, NFT marketplaces and connect with software wallets by providing the public key. 

Some people confuse hardware wallets with Bitcoin wallets or other software wallets. A Bitcoin wallet doesn’t actually hold any Bitcoin. It is a piece of software that holds private keys. The keys give you access to your Bitcoins that you hold on the blockchain. 

When you use a Bitcoin wallet, you will be given a Bitcoin address, also referred to as your public key. If someone wants to pay you in Bitcoin, you will send them your Bitcoin address. Think of it as your crypto email address! 

The second key issued to you is a private key. The private key is what you use to access and control the Bitcoins you hold. You can think of your private key as the password to your email account. 

Not only does the Bitcoin wallet hold your private key, it also signs transactions on your behalf using the private key and shares them with the Bitcoin network. So when you want to send someone Bitcoins, you need to prove ownership of the coins in order for the whole blockchain network to agree to the transaction. The Bitcoin wallet will sign the transaction on your behalf using your digital signature (private keys) and broadcasts this to the network. It is a similar process to signing a cheque to authorize the transfer of funds. Bitcoin wallets are only a part of the picture, there are many other software wallets that support blockchains like Ethereum, Solana and so forth.  

A software wallet is vulnerable to attacks, especially if the device you are storing your software wallet on becomes infected with malware. This can expose your private keys to hackers. Malware allows hackers to take control of your device and see what is displayed on your screen. When your private keys have been exposed, you no longer have control over your crypto assets. 

## Benefits of cold wallets

### Private keys are under your control
When you store your crypto on an exchange, the exchange controls and holds your private keys. Storing your private keys on a hardware wallet gives you full control over their security and access.

### Enhanced security access
Hardware wallets provide offline storage - also called cold storage - of private keys which prevents any would-be hackers from getting hold of this sensitive information. All transactions are facilitated and approved on the device itself so even if the connected device is infected with malware or compromised, your private keys remain secure. 

### Compatibility with multiple blockchains
Most hardware wallets are compatible with multiple blockchains, especially common blockchains like Bitcoin and Ethereum. Many also support altcoins for traders who have diverse crypto portfolios. 

### Unaffected by exchange hacks
Even the most secure exchanges are susceptible to hacks. Hardware wallets mitigate the risk entirely by keeping your transactions offline. Your private keys remain secure and out of reach of hackers. 

## Top crypto hardware wallets
We have taken a number of important factors into consideration ranging from security features to design and features to compile our list of the 12 best crypto hardware wallets. 

### Ledger Nano S Plus


H3 Ledger Nano S Plus.jpg

Ledger Nano S Plus is an upgrade to the original Ledger Nano S. It has a greater storage capacity than its predecessor along with a bigger display screen to facilitate easier transactions (no more squinting!). 

It does not offer Bluetooth connections to your devices, so if this is an important requirement, the Ledger Nano X would be better suited to your needs. It has to be plugged into your device to connect. 

The Ledger Nano S Plus does allow you to access all Ledger live features and integrate with software wallets on various blockchains.

Because it lacks some features experienced traders may need and is significantly cheaper than the Nano X and Trezor Model T, it is a good option for beginners or to use as a backup wallet.  

### Trezor Model One


H3 Trezor Model One.jpg

The Trezor Model One is the original hardware wallet, first coming to the market back in 2011. It supports Mac, Android, Windows and Linux, but not iOS. 

The Trezor One has a less user-friendly design with 2 buttons instead of a touch screen. It does however have a decent 128 x 64 pixel OLED screen. The Trezor Model T allows the recovery and backup process directly from the touchscreen, so it offers a higher level of security for seasoned traders. 

Unlike Model T, Trezor One doesn’t support as many coins, have Shamir Backups or an SD card slot.  

As the oldest hardware wallet on the market and the first of the Trezor wallets, the Trezor One is pretty cheap and a basic, entry-level solution best kept as a back-up crypto hardware wallet. 

### Ledger Nano X


H3 Ledger Nano X.jpg

Ledger Nano X is the second generation of Ledger hardware wallets with a storage capacity of up to 100 blockchains, a bigger screen and bluetooth connectivity for easy connection to mobile devices. 

It supports the following operating systems: iOS, Mac, Android, Windows and Linux. It connects to desktops and laptops via a USB A cable and to mobile devices via bluetooth or USB C. 

Ledger Nano X supports 5500 coins and tokens. With only two buttons, it is a very user-friendly hardware wallet. When confirming transactions or accessing the Nano X menu, simply press both buttons down at once. 

Nano X offers top-notch security, with a custom designed BOLOS operating system and separate crypto wallets. You can use Ledger live to install blockchain wallets or to buy, sell, swap and lend crypto assets. 

This feature-rich hardware wallet is surprisingly cheaper than many other hardware wallets on the market, making it a great option for both new and experienced traders. 

### Trezor Model T-Next Generation


H3 Trezor Model T-Next Generation.jpg

Trezor Model T is the next generation following the success of the Trezor One hardware wallet. Trezor Model T is up to scratch with all the same impressive security features offered by Ledger Nano X. 

It boasts an impressive color touchscreen with a legible display. It supports 1800 coins and tokens - less than Nano Ledger X but still compatible with the most popular currencies. If you choose to do so, you have the option to switch to a Bitcoin-only firmware to handle Bitcoin transactions exclusively, turning the Trezor wallet into a Bitcoin hardware wallet. 

The Trezor Model T is open source so continually updated and improved by experienced programmers. The software used in the Trezor One has been entirely rewritten to enhance the wallet’s security. 

The device supports Android, Mac, Linux and Windows but not iOS, making it unsuitable for iPhone users. Trezor Model T uses the Trezor Suite software to connect with your devices, with desktop or web versions. 

Trezor Model T is highly regarded as one of the best hardware wallets to securely store and manage your crypto. It seamlessly and securely integrates with a number of software wallets, only providing them with the public key and addresses without ever sharing your private keys. 

This blockchain hardware wallet is quite pricey, so is often favored by seasoned traders with a lot of money at stake. 

### SecuX V20

The Ngrave Zero does not allow you to connect to the internet at all, not even via USB or bluetooth. Instead, it uses one-way QR code communication to share information between devices without ever connecting to the internet. 

The Ngrave Zero has a nifty feature called “Everlasting Backup” which provides an eternal backup for your seed phrase. The stainless steel sheets are fire-resistant, waterproof and entirely recoverable, so storing your seed phrase has never been safer or simpler. The Ngrave hardware wallet has the highest security standard in the world - EAL 7 and is also ROHS and CE certified. Other standout features include biometric access, pin protection, a light sensor and anti-tampering measures. 

Many seasoned traders report finding the Ngrave Zero more user-friendly than the Ledger or Trezor hardware wallets. It has been built using military-grade materials with a durable metal case, making it much hardier than its plastic counterparts. 

Another remarkable feature is the “Perfect Key” technology which allows for seed phrase recovery without any third-party interference. There is zero risk of third-party recovery phrase intervention, making it the most secure wallet in the world.  

The Ngrave Zero is perfect for those who want complete peace of mind over the security of their crypto assets and for frequent travelers. If you hold high value crypto, then despite its high price tag, this is a hardware wallet worth investing in to fortify your crypto like never before.

The Ellipal Titan hardware wallet uses air-gapped security measures. This means your Ellipal hardware wallet is physically, electronically and magnetically isolated from all other networks. 

The majority of hardware wallets use bluetooth or USB to connect to other devices, whereas the Ellipal Titan only uses QR codes to sign transactions through the Ellipal app. The entire circuit board of the Ellipal Titan is not compatible with WiFi, bluetooth or cellular connections, automatically blocking any and all physical connections to networks. This protects your device against remote attacks

The Ellipal has an anti-tamper and self-destruct mechanism in the event of offline attacks. When it detects an attack, it erases all information (such as your private keys) from the device. Your secret seed phrase can be used to recover the wallet. 

The 4-inch color touchscreen makes set up easy and gives your clear visuals when signing transactions. It supports over 40 blockchains and 10000 tokens.

## The bottom line

If you are serious about trading and holding cryptocurrency and NFTs, it is essential to invest in cold storage of your digital assets through a reputable hardware wallet. The best hardware wallets do come with a price tag and the more features they have, the higher the cost climbs. The security these devices provide is invaluable, especially if you hold crypto worth thousands or even millions of dollars. 

As we mentioned in the beginning of this article, it is very important you always only purchase hardware wallets directly from the manufacturer. You run the risk of being scammed or falling victim to fraudsters when buying off of eBay and similar marketplaces. 

**For high-value traders:** the Ngrave Zero is without a doubt the best option, offering world first EAL 7 security standards and “Perfect Key” technology for the ultimate hardware wallet solution. With no connection to any networks, there is zero chance of your crypto being attacked making this the safest crypto wallet. 

**For NFT holders:** look no further than the SecuX Nifty, the world's first NFT hardware wallet that allows you to manage all your crypto assets in one place. 

**For Beginners:** crypto newbies don’t want to spend a lot on hardware wallets so KeepKey is an affordable entry-level hardware wallet.  

Ledger Nano X and Trezor Model T also come highly rated and aren’t badly priced. They are both feature-rich with great security.

Obviously technology can only go so far at protecting your crypto. If someone has you and your hardware wallet cornered and forces the seed phrase out of you, that is out of your control. The best way to avoid that unfortunate situation is to keep your crypto assets and fancy hardware wallet on the down low. Nobody else needs to know about the ins and outs of your crypto trading. That’s the best security there can ever be…privacy!
