Colorful Glyph-Trading Platforms

Colorglyph Lets User Create and Trade Pixelated Patterns

— December 27, 2017 — Tech
There's always been an intrinsic appeal in trading colorful little icons, from the days of baseball cards through until Pogs and Pokemon cards, and Colorglyph is a platform that's trying to bring that joy back in the age of the internet. The simple game uses the principles of the blockchain to allow users to create and trade bright, pixelated images with one another.

Whereas in years gone by, trading games were relatively fool proof in that they required users to trade physical items, the internet has made that type of exchange irrelevant. Users could no longer safely trade with one another, since the items they traded could be infinitely copied (and thus wouldn't have any value). Colorglyph ensures that each glyph created is completely unique, so it brings the mystique of the collection back into trading.
Trend Themes
1. Blockchain-based Trading - Using the principles of the blockchain, Colorglyph enables users to create and trade pixelated images, bringing back the joy of trading in the digital age.
2. Unique Digital Collectibles - Colorglyph ensures that each glyph created is completely unique, restoring the collectible nature of trading colorful icons.
3. Revival of Trading Games - Colorglyph brings back the intrinsic appeal of trading games by combining colorful pixelated images with modern technology.
Industry Implications
1. Gaming - The gaming industry could integrate blockchain-based trading platforms and unique digital collectibles to enhance the trading experience.
2. Cryptocurrency - The cryptocurrency industry can explore the potential of blockchain-based trading platforms like Colorglyph to expand the use of digital assets.
3. Online Marketplaces - Online marketplaces can leverage the revival of trading games to attract users who enjoy trading unique digital collectibles.
