Terra Virtua Kolect?

Moreover, members who own TVP can get free tokens and NFTs monthly.

Terra Virtua Kolect (TVK) - Technology
Blockchain-based timestamps will also be used, so if disputes arise in a game channel similar to the “closed” of a Bitcoin payment channel, they can be resolved by going back to records. Events are immutably logged on this blockchain and tracked with a timestamp.
By incorporating the timestamp property of blockchain technology, Terra Virtua developed an anti-fraud protocol that ensures data in progress can never be lost or manipulated by any participant.
Building on this proven technology, the Terra Virtua blockchain will implement game accounts and tradable in-game items in such a way that you attach Terra Virtua assets to an encrypted blockchain and safe. That ensures their ownership is securely tracked and allows a trustless transaction - no central middleman required - to exchange TVKs or trade items.
A transaction is within a single transaction and governed by a self-executing smart contract. Both parties must verify this transaction for both transfers to happen or not. That prevents fraud where only payment is made, and the item is not shipped or vice versa.
