Efinity Token

Happy Thursday to everyone!
It's time for a "Did You Know"! And to kickstart it off, we're going straight with what's an Idempotency Key. ⚡

Do you know what an Idempotency Key is? Let's find out more in the blog post below. 👇
For game developers, it's crucial to incorporate an idempotent code key when using the Efinity Platform API. This is because the idempotent code key enables the Efinity platform to check the result of a given transaction that was performed.

Let's say a game dev runs a function to transfer 0.1 EFI tokens to one of their players, but they haven't integrated an idempotent code in the Efinity Platform API.
In this scenario, if the tokens transfer successfully but the platform returns an error, the game developer may not know if the operation succeeded or not. In this unfortunate case, the game developer would need to re-run the operation again.
However, by implementing an idempotency key in their API code, this ensures that they get the correct value/status being returned when an operation is carried out. This creates trust between the game developer and the players 🤝
