Blockchain

Why Blockchain?

The key reason we are excited to develop web3 games is the innovation the blockchain - as a technology - can offer to game experiences, and not due to crypto or Play-To-Earn (P2E) business models.

P2E and its variations are byproducts made possible by the technology.

Unlocking Ownership

From our experience with core games, we have learned firsthand the attachment players have to their in-game items. In fact, Vitalik Buterin decided to build the Ethereum blockchain after Blizzard suddenly weakened his favorite World of Warcraft character, awakening him to the 'horrors centralized services can bring'.

Blockchain now unlocks true digital ownership of in-game assets eliminating the need for for the developer or publisher to act as a non-transparent custodian in the middle.

Resources such as a players time, efforts and money are no longer sunk and automatically translate into items he owns and can have fun seamlessly trading if he choses to. This eliminates the need for players to create farm accounts, level them up and then hope to sell it successfully to a third party on the scam filled gray market.

Enabling Interoperability

Our belief in the blockchain as a technology goes beyond the above as it offers the potential for interoperability between games, being itself immutable and transparent digital ledger to all.

If games can interpret the metadata of each other's game items in the form of NFTs using open protocols, then it will be possible for a player to move the value she has sunk in a game into another one, and back, as well as allowing the player to for example compete with his friends in one game, lose, and then move on to the next where he wins, all the while maintaining a single identity and sign-in across the game worlds.
