You don't need an integration at all: you just call the other company smart contract to see if the user has a specific type of equipment defined by an NFT.

Problem is that this information should be private.

If I know you are a heavy user of some other game, maybe I can sell you something to advance in the game quickly instead of having to play a lot.

Is it desirable? For a game company, maybe. But for an insurance firm?

I am not so sure.

Uh, yeah... that's integration!

I don't think it is integration like we are used to: you don't need an SDK to do this, and there is no need to have an agreed between both companies.

I think this would end in a lawsuit it you do itm

Does the code for cross-checking who holds what NFT on what platform just materialize out of whole cloth? Does Eth not have an SDK?

> and there is no need to have an agreed between both companies

Yeah, you would. The IP rights don't get thrown out just because there exists a pointer in a ledger that says you paid money to do widgety things with the content on someone's platform.

How is that any better than, like, an API and a database?
