# Why blockchain & NFTs?

### Why does Synergy of Serra use blockchain technology?

By integrating blockchain technology, Synergy of Serra allows Serrans more control over their Synergy of Serra Items and Resources through fungible tokens (FT), non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and soul-bound tokens (SBTs).&#x20;

The blockchain also allows super-secure, transparent transactions and executions to occur. This means you are able to trace and verify all on-chain activity, such as how the contents of the crates are randomized or how Alpha Fame is distributed.  &#x20;

This transparency and openness also mean that you will be able to trade your cards, just like physical trading cards, but in a perfect information economy, as you will always be able to check how many of each Synergy of Serra Item or Resource exists at any one time. This links into our game economy and global reward distribution with its transparent nature, facilitating scrutiny and analysis from the community.&#x20;

Using the blockchain also means Synergy of Serra can deploy smart contracts to develop exciting game features such as earning [Fame](/the-compendium-of-serra/the-fame.md) or winning a [Golden Ticket](/the-compendium-of-serra/the-special-drops.md).&#x20;

Furthermore, the blockchain is still a nascent technology, and future possibilities could be endless.
