# Game Balance for NFT Assets

One example of that additional functionality is an analytics platform that leverages several of our partners (and would involve many of our recipes):

**Partners**

<div align="left"><figure><img src="https://content.gitbook.com/content/zATpZg4fKftXAgKBrsPs/blobs/NvQlqNMWDZxNhm6KmUmz/game-balance-nft.svg" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

* **Space & Time**: Ability to capture user telemetry.&#x20;
* **Covalent**: On-chain Indexin.&#x20;
* **Trident3**: User ID Passport.
* **Cube3**: Security Services.

**Example Use Case**\
\
A competitive gaming platform uses this analytics system to track NFT based character performance after each match. When a match completes, the system aggregates player performance data, updates NFT metadata for achievement milestones, checks player wallet reputations, and provides real-time analytics through admin and player dashboards, including how the NFT assets affect game balance.

**Benefits**

By combining these partners into an analytics platform, we can give games the ability to mesh in-game telemetry with on-chain activity, allowing for discovery around things like:

* NFT Trade Volume
* NFT Collections total value or changes in value
* NFT Asset In-Game performance
* Ownership data - EG: what are the top 3 similar NFT’s across users
* Transactional Data. NFT retention or attrition. EG: what did users buy after they bought or sold the NFT?
* Leaderboards matched with Token or NFT ownership
* Player whitelist/blacklists based on geography or toxicity
* Reward program participation matched to in-game behavior

**Sequence For Metrics Update**

Trigger: Match Completion initiates the analytics update via API.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Space and Time query for match data (players, NFT usage, performance).&#x20;

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Covalent indexers queried for current match’s NFTs blockchain state.&#x20;

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Player identities obtained through Trident 3's DID profiles.&#x20;

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Player wallet addresses vetted through Cube3's reputation service -flagged if bad actor.&#x20;
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
W3.io aggregates the partner data into a normalized analytics package.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Space and Time provided analytics package to update player/NFT performance metrics.&#x20;

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
If achievement milestones are reached, NFT metadata is updated on IPFS/Filecoin.&#x20;

Dashboards: Players and game admins see updated player and NFT performance metrics in their respective dashboards.&#x20;
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
