For NetworkUnits, the main problems that cryptocurrency can solve for gamers is network reliability and matchmaking fairness. NetworkUnits hosts multiplayer games, but instead of offering them through a big server in a distant location, it allows participants to use their own computers to support the game network. Players will experience lower latency due to the likelihood of being in closer proximity to a host, and hosts earn cryptocurrency for their hard work. Using the blockchain ledger also promotes fairness, because players who cheat or break the rules can be more easily identified and excluded.
