<h3>In-Depth Analysis of Summoners Arena, an Innovative Play-Own-Earn Idle-RPG</h3><h3>Key Takeaways</h3><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*ZQXtus6jSGot5jxh1xS3SA.jpeg" /></figure><ul><li>Summoners Arena takes its widely successful web2 game Summoners Era, which had over 1.7mil downloads from iOS &amp; the App Store to the next steps by combining an idle RPG experience with blockchain features. To enable this, Summoners Arena empowers a permissionless manner for players to own and trade their heroes and introduces concepts of lands &amp; guild wars into its gameplay.</li><li>Wait no further as Summoners Arena Mainnet went live on the 26th of May and had over 5,000+ players within the first 24 hours. Get started on Summoners Arena <a href="https://summonersarena.substack.com/p/summoners-arena-mainnet-launch-details?s=r">here</a>.</li><li>Summoners Arena raised a total of $3mil in seed round funding back in February 2022. The list of VCs includes prominent backers such as Pantera Capital, Spartan Group and other top guilds in the industry such as GuildFi &amp; Merit Circle. What further stood out from the list of strategic backers was an angel investment from PUBG’s developer, Chang-Han Kim (CEO of Krafton). All in all, the strong support from its strategic backers signals a vote of confidence for Summoners Arena</li></ul><h3>Introduction to Summoners Arena</h3><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/0*a3IJFVyMmpb_CRIQ" /></figure><p>While the markets are looking bleak due to macroeconomic factors, Summoners Arena has forged on and launched on Mainnet officially on the 26th of May 2022!</p><p>We often hear the sentiment that “games are counter-cyclical” and true to it, Summoners Arena had launched with 5.2k+ active users on its first 24 which is a promising feat nonetheless.</p><p>The precursor to Summoners Arena is the <em>Summoners Era: Idle RPG Heroes</em> which was widely successful in the traditional mobile gaming scene, achieving &gt;1 million in downloads on Google’s Play Store &amp; Apple’s App Store while simultaneously having a positive review of 4.2+ stars on average.</p><p>So, what is Summoners Arena?</p><p>Summoners Arena is an innovative idle RPG built on BSC and has set out to be a multi-genre game universe in which players truly own the experience that they grind to build in the world of Summonia. With the goal of empowering true ownership for the players, NFTs such as Summoners, Heroes, Items and Lands play a key element in every player’s interaction with the game. Combining a tried and tested gameplay along with immersive lore, Summoners Arena could very well serve as the bridge for more traditional gamers to be onboard into web3 gaming.</p><h3>Overview of Gameplay</h3><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/0*EwQlkIl4U214pC6M" /></figure><p>Before getting into the gameplay, we dive into the lore behind Summoners Arena, which begins in the world of Summonia. Created by the Goddess Agtiz, the mystical land that had fallen from grace and her 6 children, the Elder Titans are tasked with bringing harmony to Summonia and defeating the chaotic Titan of Darkness.</p><h3>Campaign (PvE)</h3><p>Combining this extensive mythical lore and idle RPG breed exciting gameplay that awaits players in Summoners Arena. The primary game mode involves going on <strong><em>campaigns</em></strong><em> </em>where players select 5 heroes in different classes and strategic formation to fight against enemies in PvE combat.</p><p>Upgrading your heroes by levelling up, evolving and equipping them with stronger gears are the key to progression in Summoners Arena.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/0*UkhJlJ_roWXC5_WR" /></figure><h3>Dungeons (PvE)</h3><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/0*j7flx884vzwrFC2D" /></figure><p>Once players have hit the mark on becoming level 5 in-game, the keys to the dungeons mode will be opened and players unlock an exciting game mode.</p><p>In the case of the Dungeon mode, players can use both NFT and non-NFT heroes to access the dungeon and rewards for clearing the dungeon will be <em>gold &amp; relic fragments.</em></p><ul><li>Gold can be used to purchase <em>Buffs</em> to enhance a hero’s power or <em>Potions </em>to restore health, and energy or revive a defeated hero.</li><li>Relic Fragments can be exchanged with the merchant for <em>hero fragments, hero EXPs, &amp; sealed scrolls.</em></li></ul><p>The key difference between Dungeons mode and campaigns are:</p><ul><li>Instead of 5 sets of heroes, each hero will fight each wave on their own.</li><li>The heroes have their level and stars fixed as they enter the dungeon.</li><li>Players can choose freely between the chosen heroes to complete each wave</li><li>The Heroes’ health and energy will be carried onto the next wave after one is completed.</li><li>Unfortunately, once the specific hero is defeated, it won’t be playable for the rest of the Dungeon session.</li></ul><h3>Arena &amp; BattleGround (PvP)</h3><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/0*w41kSGPj5dKaGEKC" /></figure><p>The PvP game modes in Summoners Arena are not for the faint of heart as it is certainly an intense competition among the community. A win under <strong><em>Arena</em></strong> mode results in increased rank points and rewards in $ASG while a loss will lead to a de-rank. Once the season ends, the players on top of the leaderboard are rewarded with $SAE, which is the only way players can earn $SAE from the game.</p><p>In fact, this incentive structure ensures that the game is balanced and the economy is sustainable. “Earning” should always be secondary to the gameplay and deserved by those who are either the best or have played hours to get to where they are on the leaderboard.</p><p>Separately, the <strong>Battleground</strong> mode resembles the same model as the <strong><em>Arena</em></strong> game mode albeit with a few differences.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/0*jLmxLKLjIP4vInk6" /></figure><ul><li>In the Battleground, you can choose between NFT and non-NFT Heroes to battle.</li><li>Heroes’ Levels won’t max out like in the Arena.</li><li>Winning results in earning <em>Battleground Coin</em> and top players get further Battleground Coin when they top the charts at the season’s end.</li></ul><h3>In-Game Assets</h3><h3>Heroes (NFT)</h3><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/826/0*RWUZDu-mUU5Nwsw_" /></figure><p>Heroes are at the forefront of the Summoners Arena game, with each requiring a total of 5 heroes for battle. While players can still enjoy the game using Sealed Heroes (non-NFT) on the F2P version, they’ll miss out on $ASG rewards in the PvP arena which are only awarded to players who own NFT Heroes.</p><p>So how does one get their hands on the NFT Heroes? Given that the Genesis NFT event &amp; the Sealed Chest NFT Sale has ended, players are still able to obtain it on the <a href="https://app.summonersarena.io/">marketplace</a> where it is being traded.</p><p>Each hero comes with either <em>common</em> or <em>mystic</em> rarity traits with the latter being far more powerful. Aside from that, there are numerous characteristics involved for each specific hero which we’ll cover below before you start buying your NFT Heroes:</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/0*1jhh2l4oNsoVrL7X" /></figure><p>Personally, I have gone with the 3–2 lineup with a <em>Warrior, and Assassin on the front row, whereas on the back line, I’ve included 1 Priest, 1 Mage and 1 Assasin. </em>None of these should be taken as financial advice and we implore you to check out <a href="https://discord.gg/summonersarena">the community’s discord channel on strategy discussions!</a></p><h3>Heroes (NFT) — Evolving &amp; Upgrading</h3><p>While most NFTs in previous projects go through an inflationary stage through excessive breeding mechanisms, Summoners Arena fixes this through its <a href="https://doc.summonersarena.io/gameplay-mechanism/evolve-and-upgrade">Evolve &amp; Upgrade mechanics</a>.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/0*ssu2MSTFz8uwL4gQ" /></figure><p>To unlock greater power (max power is achieved at 12 stars), players can opt to evolve their heroes which requires two key elements. A <em>material hero &amp; $ASG tokens.</em> Say, for example, if you are trying to evolve a hero from 3 to 4 stars, players would need 3 of the 3-star hero of the same faction in order to facilitate the evolving process. This represents a unique 0–1 innovation in NFT burnt mechanism to be applied in the gameplay.</p><h3>Items</h3><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/0*1N47bGYHdXs8BeD4" /></figure><p>Item NFTs come in the form of <strong><em>equipment, artifact &amp; stone </em></strong>for the purpose of enhancing the Heroes’ power once it is equipped. This feature has yet to be enabled as of yet.</p><p>Players can expect this feature to be enabled in <em>Phase 3 of Summoner’s Arena roadmap (May-Sept 2022) when the Item NFT sale goes live.</em></p><h3>Items Forging</h3><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/0*buebmsSGZZtVFK8p" /></figure><p>Similar to Heroes NFT, Item Forging allows players to upgrade their items to better qualities so as to compete against one another in the PvP Arena.</p><p><em>$ASG and 2 material items (from the same type &amp; level)</em> are needed to upgrade an item.</p><h3>What’s next?</h3><h3>Guilds &amp; Lands</h3><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/0*NKqLAmEAaiYtJWo-" /></figure><p>While not much information has been released in terms of Guilds &amp; Land’s addition to the gameplay, it represents a 0–1 innovation that Summoners Arena was able to create by adopting web3’s gaming features.</p><p>For now, we can expect Guild Wars (PvP), Guild Raids (PvE) and a Guild Shop that fosters the ability to play co-op with your favourite players.</p><h3>Team</h3><p>The team behind Summoners Arena holds significant expertise in blockchain development and over 10 years of experience in the traditional gaming industry. The combination of these team dynamics creates the perfect fit for a well-rounded gaming experience that attracts native web3 players and traditional gamers.</p><h3>Individual’s Background</h3><p><strong>Hung Tran — Founder</strong></p><ul><li>Founder of OneSoft and Onechain and CEO of ABI Studio.</li></ul><p><strong>CEO — Harris Hieu Bui</strong></p><ul><li>5-year experience in Game Publishing &amp; Business Development.</li></ul><p><strong>CTO — Manh Cuong Nguyen</strong></p><ul><li>10-year experience in Software Engineering and Game Development.</li></ul><p><strong>CMO — Zoe Hoang</strong></p><ul><li>Marketing Ops at Origin Protocol | 4-year experience in Crypto Marketing.</li></ul><p><strong>Product Manager — Long Nguyen</strong></p><ul><li>First Runner-up at RMIT Blockchain Competition 2021</li></ul><p><strong>Game Designer — Hai Bang Le</strong></p><ul><li>Game Operation Manager and Lead Game Designer at Zitga Studio.</li></ul><p><strong>Lead Artist — Tuan Anh Trinh</strong></p><ul><li>Lead Artist at Zitga Studio | 5-year experience as Lead Artist.</li></ul><p><strong>Lead Engineer — Tuan Do</strong></p><ul><li>Lead Engineer at Zitga Studio | 5 years experience in Game Development</li></ul><p><strong>Game Development Lead — Duc Viet Bui</strong></p><ul><li>Project Manager at Zitga Studio | 6-year experience in Game Development</li></ul><p><strong>Systems Architect — Dinh Tho Hoang</strong></p><ul><li>15 years of experience in IT | Expert in System Security</li></ul><h3>Tokens</h3><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/0*V9umpEmNcp7piGsH" /></figure><h3>Investors</h3><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/0*SdCHWpKJfAEJ3Cr3" /></figure><p>In early February, Summoners Arena raised <strong><em>$3 million </em></strong>in seed funding from top-tiered VCs such as Pantera, Coinbase Ventures, and Spartan as well as notable web3 gaming guilds such as GuildFi &amp; Merit Circle.</p><p>To top it off, Summoners Arena had even secured an angel investment from PUBG’s developer, Chang-Han Kim (CEO of Krafton). With such a strong support network and strategic partners, the outlook for Summoners Arena stands bright.</p><h3>GuildFi Thesis</h3><p>What sets Summoners Arena apart is that it is developed from a well-established game that had proven successful for its core game loops, graphics and overall gameplay. Thus, it is without a doubt that Summoners Arena had already succeeded in building a “fun-first” gaming experience.</p><p>By incorporating a blockchain experience into its game, Summoners Arena elevates the experience in two ways:</p><ul><li>Players are now actual owners of their NFTs and this incentivises players’ motivation to engage, upgrade and compete to obtain the strongest Hero NFTs with the highest quality items. If one ever changes his mind or plans to move on to a different game, players are able to finally sell the NFT and hopefully profit out of it to compensate for their time spent in-game.</li><li>Opens up dimensions of gameplays which weren’t possible in their previous web2 version. Guild gameplays for example were enabled and further being empowered due to the community-oriented behaviours fostered within web3. Players often joined guilds or formulate guilds within the community and this allows gaming companies to enable a co-op game mode that focuses on player interdependence. This key feature has further proven to be successful in enhancing the lifecycle of a game due to players’ commitment to their guild and the social aspect behind playing for “a greater good”. We are excited for Summoners Arena guild gameplay that will be launched in Q3 2022!</li></ul><p>Moreover, the economic design behind Summoners Arena has taken the right philosophy and prevents historical challenges we’ve encountered in GameFi 1.0 where players often farm and dump tokens to seek profits. In Summoners Arena, there are plenty of sinks that manage the economic inflation of $SAE &amp; $ASG given that the use cases are highly relevant to the continuity of the game. Earnings are purely a “secondary factor” where tokens are only awarded when players win the PvP Arena (based on skills) and stay at the top of the PvP leaderboard (based on commitment &amp; skills).</p><p>So, will you be part of the PvP Leaderboard in Summoners Arena?</p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=af0db11c942d" width="1" height="1" alt=""><hr><p><a href="https://medium.com/guildfi/summoners-area-in-depth-analysis-af0db11c942d">Summoners Area In-Depth Analysis</a> was originally published in <a href="https://medium.com/guildfi">GuildFi</a> on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.</p>

Summoners Area In-Depth Analysis

<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*lR5x7J7A-hA3jHYK3x3aQg.jpeg" /></figure><p>Imagine a world where there is a platform that allows gamers around the world to exchange their in-game assets with each other and get tons of benefits from playing the game they enjoy.</p><p>GuildFi envisions the marketplace, termed <a href="https://guildfi.com/marketplace">Project: Morroc</a>, to be a place where gamers around the globe come together and exchange their hard-earned collectibles with each other. You will be able to buy, sell and exchange in-game items, NFTs, whitelists and more.</p><p>We want <a href="https://guildfi.com/marketplace">Project: Morroc</a> to be a platform that elevates the gaming industry as a whole to the next level. It will serve as a cornerstone in the GuildFi ecosystem.</p><h3><strong>Introduction to Project: Morroc, GuildFi’s Marketplace</strong></h3><p>GuildFi is excited to announce our latest feature on GuildFi.com which we’ve termed Marketplace or Project: Morroc. Project: Morroc will act as GuildFi.com’s marketplace where it will be a distribution point for all the items available on GuildFi.com, as an example, but not limited to, NFTs, gaming tickets and whitelists. GuildFi’s Marketplace will be exclusively available for community members of the GuildFi platform.</p><p>Marketplace will act as a tool for community members to be able to access our partner game’s attributes, important products and in-game items without limitations. We understand that migrating from Web2 to Web3, both for players and projects alike is not easy. Therefore, we envision that the introduction of Marketplace will be one of the many tools on the GuildFi platform that will help towards this positive change.</p><p>Importantly, Marketplace will provide an opportunity for GuildFi users to have access and play exciting games for free. Free access can be won immediately for games such as Axie Infinity, Pegaxy, WonderHero, CyBall and GuildFi will continue to add more thrilling games onto the Marketplace.</p><p><strong>Visit GuildFi’s Marketplace now at </strong><a href="https://guildfi.com/marketplace"><strong>https://guildfi.com/marketplace</strong></a><strong>.</strong></p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*4DNPnSGhYcPk-N3RbYLmvA.jpeg" /></figure><h3><strong>Item Sales</strong></h3><p>Community members on the GuildFi platform will have access to the latest available products in the marketplace. Through our Marketplace, members will be able to browse through the latest NFTs, Gaming Tickets, Whitelists, Gaming Gears, as well as other exclusive or non-exclusive collectibles. In v1, Marketplace will be launched with two key categories which are Player Ticket and NFT sales. The NFT sales category in v1 will represent the alpha version which will randomly select the available NFTs on Marketplace for sale to users.</p><p>For v1 of Marketplace, 100% of profit earned from playing our games will go directly to the user. This means users can use their GXP that they have accumulated to temporary own the GameFi assets without splitting any profits with GuildFi at all. For example, you can use GXP to temporary own your Axie from GuildFi, play the Axie Infinity game and keep all your profits to yourself!</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*297uEHxK2FSBtvhd6Gd2kg.jpeg" /></figure><h3><strong>Currency for Marketplace</strong></h3><p>We have been highlighting throughout our announcements and encouraging our members to keep stacking GXP as well as the importance of holding $GF. Now is the time to cash in. We continue to maintain that GXP and the $GF token will hold plenty of importance in the GuildFi ecosystem and this is no different in our newest feature, Project: Morroc. Both $GF and GXP tokens will be extremely important in the Project: Morroc in order to access, claim or purchase collectibles and partnered-products.</p><h3><strong>Hybrid Marketplace</strong></h3><p><strong>Project: Morroc will be the first hybrid gamification marketplace in the world in which gamers can trade both web2 and web3 in-game items.</strong></p><p>We don’t want the Marketplace to serve as a platform only for web3 users. Providing the smoothest experience in on-boarding users from both web2 and web3 is GuildFi’s ultimate goal.</p><p>Whether you acquire a rare item from your favorite MMORPG or you attain epic NFTs from GameFi that you enjoy, you will be able to sell or exchange them on Marketplace.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*M16PMZ8UpLwGoNOXhwNTAQ.jpeg" /></figure><p>GuildFi is fully committed to make Project: Morroc the marketplace for all gamers. For this reason, GuildFi’s Marketplace will eventually support every game that players around the globe are already enjoying such as Minecraft, Roblox and more!</p><h3><strong>GuildFi Partner</strong></h3><p><strong>Marketplace v1 has been launched with 5 of our gaming partners, namely Axie Infinity, Pegaxy, Wonder Hero, Thetan Arena and Cyball.</strong></p><p>Along with having massive benefits for our community members, GuildFi’s Marketplace will be beneficial for the relationship between our members and our game partners as well. GuildFi’s Marketplace will create a sort of communication and access portal for members and partners alike. Through the products being listed from the gaming partner, community members can browse to see what interests them the most and interact with those products as they see fit.</p><p>We feel that GuildFi’s Marketplace will allow us to become a Co-Building Partner to our partners which will allow us to assist our partners in building their games and promoting their exclusive products and collectibles directly to GuildFi’s community members as well.</p><h3><strong>Beta Access</strong></h3><p>In the first phase, we will only grant beta access to our partners to list their items in the marketplace. This will allow us to test, collect feedback, and make improvements, if required. Following this, GuildFi will open Marketplace to every user to be able to list their collectibles on Marketplace both on-chain and off-chain with gamification enabled.</p><p>The beta launch will come with basic off-chain functionality. This will allow us to obtain feedback from beta users before we shift Project: Morroc to the next phase.</p><p>GuildFi’s Marketplace will not only support web3 assets but will also focus on web2 in-game assets as well such as gift cards, coupons, in-game collectibles and much more!</p><p>GuildFi prioritizes our user’s experience as the number one priority which is why the launch of Marketplace has been carefully thought out and intricately developed during every step.</p><p>As we mentioned, GuildFi members will get exclusive privilege to use the marketplace.</p><h3><strong>Future Updates</strong></h3><p>GuildFi’s Marketplace tool will continue to be updated. The updates and enhancements will occur through on-boarding new products and collectibles from our partners as well as increasing the categories available as well. New and exciting games will also be added to GuildFi’s Marketplace. Due to this, Marketplace will continue to become increasingly valuable for GuildFi members as they will have access to a massive pool of resources for the games they love.</p><p>Again, we do recommend all our community members to participate in the GXP quests and giveaways as GXP will play a very important role in GuildFi’s Marketplace and the GuildFi ecosystem overall.</p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=352c1bdbecf" width="1" height="1" alt=""><hr><p><a href="https://medium.com/guildfi/guildfi-unveils-its-marketplace-project-morroc-352c1bdbecf">GuildFi unveils its Marketplace, Project: Morroc</a> was originally published in <a href="https://medium.com/guildfi">GuildFi</a> on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.</p>

<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*7drq9tBVETZ6DCXsJLIToA.jpeg" /></figure><p>GuildFi is honoured to join hands with MARBLEX, Netmarble’s blockchain arm.</p><h3>Introduction To MARBLEX</h3><p>MARBLEX (MBX) is a blockchain-based game service company that aims to bring the highest quality blockchain games to market than any other company by producing AAA titles. A well-established company with over 6,000 collaborative employees, including game industry veterans and blockchain technology experts from across the globe. By providing services such as a cryptocurrency wallet, decentralised exchange, token staking, and NFT Marketplace, MARBLEX (MBX) allows users to experience an optimal blockchain-based game ecosystem.</p><h3><strong>Chain Ecosystem</strong></h3><p>To ensure an optimal experience for all MARBLEX users, the team has developed an established chain ecosystem. Key parties involved in the MARBLEX ecosystem includes, but are not limited to, service providers, publishers and game developers. A service provider role may be unfamiliar in the traditional gaming industry, but with the introduction of the MARBLEX token ecosystem, service providers are essential. A service provider integrates token economy with game content, essentially completing the entire MARBLEX ecosystem. The interaction between service providers, game developers, and publishers can be observed below.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/606/0*VKa2yj-4n2pQMkTG" /></figure><h3>Game Ecosystem</h3><p>MARBLEX aims to integrate games of various genres, including but not limited to, MMORPGs, Collectible Card Games (CCGs), Sports and Casual. This is done to ensure a unique but fulfilling experience for all participants in the MARBLEX ecosystem, and clearly offer the use of tokens to users based on connections between different games and the blockchain.</p><p>MMORPGs are clearly favourable in the Asian market. Most MMORPG gamers spend a lot of time and resources playing. Although this is true, a major weakness that MARBLEX aims to correct through the integration of blockchain technology is the decline in user consumption due to players’ inability to catch up to the content speed.</p><p>On the other hand, CCGs have shown a weakness in selling similar or the same characters to users, lacking unit-specific characters. This is an issue that is easily solvable through the integration of NFT technology which will ensure that users’ needs are met.</p><h3><strong>GuildFi x </strong>MARBLEX</h3><p>GuildFi will work closely with MARBLEX to host various campaigns for our communities through integrating their games into the GuildFi ecosystem. We strongly believe that a lot of our community members will enjoy the different games that MARBLEX will bring, with members already showing great interest in games that they have already launched, including but not limited to A3: Still Alive and Ni no Kuni: Cross Worlds.</p><p>“MARBLEX is a key value add that further empowers game developers, publishers and players in the blockchain gaming ecosystem. Through MARBLEX’s seamless wallet system, it provides an intuitive user experience to easily convert game tokens into MBX tokens or other cryptocurrencies. We believe this reduces the friction that many users have experienced previously. We are excited to partner with MARBLEX to allow our communities to benefit from having a convenient and enjoyable blockchain gaming experience across the multiple game titles in the MARBLEX ecosystem.” — says Kit Gazinpoj, GuildFi’s Co-founder.</p><h3><strong>About GuildFi</strong></h3><p>GuildFi is the interconnected Web3 ecosystem of games, NFTs and communities, with an aim to maximize players’ benefits and enable interoperability across the Metaverse.

GuildFi Partners with Ultiverse, the Leading Social Gaming Metaverse

<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*iThEITqnA5RAIrvN7DFvDg.jpeg" /></figure><p>Cryptocurrencies are known for their whipsaw volatility. The meteoric upswings and gut wrenching downturns make even the most seasoned investors uneasy. These considerable shifts in token price are not only alarming for investors but also for the project teams. Many protocols hold large amounts of their native token in their treasury, and price swings can have a severe impact on the funding of further development. To offset these swings, or at least try to mitigate them, development teams sometimes use token buybacks and burns. In this article, we’ll be exploring what this means, what the rationale for doing so is, and the impact this can have on project development.</p><h3><strong>What Is A Buyback?</strong></h3><p>Buybacks are not a new concept and have existed in the stock market for decades. A buyback occurs when the firm that issued the stock purchases the shares back from the market. This reduces the overall supply of the stock, which, if demand remains constant, leads to an increase in price. The same concept can be applied to blockchain and cryptocurrency. Tokens can be bought at the market by the development team, reducing the available supply and supporting the token price.</p><h3><strong>What Is A Token Burn?</strong></h3><p>Once the tokens have been bought back from the market, the question remains of what to do with the tokens. Development teams have a couple of options here, and the decision will vary depending on market dynamics and team goals.</p><p>The first option is to take the tokens into the treasury and hold them as an asset. This removes those tokens from the supply, but it does not preclude them from being re-released at a later date when market conditions change. The second option is to burn the tokens. This approach permanently reduces the token supply as the tokens are no longer recoverable. This is generally achieved by sending the tokens to a designated public burn address. The tokens are visible at this address, but no one can access them ever again.</p><h3><strong>Why Are Buyback And Burns Useful?</strong></h3><p>Development teams and projects have a number of reasons for implementing a token buyback and burn. The most common is related to price action. Crypto markets are incredibly volatile, and it’s not uncommon for the token price to swing wildly. This can prove to be problematic for teams as treasury holdings often consist of a large amount of the native token, but if the treasury is diversified then it’s less of an issue. For investors, however, these token swings can be difficult to stomach.</p><p>Even if swings in token price are being driven by market forces, it’s possible for token holders to lose confidence in a project. This loss of confidence can have a significant impact on the community, something that development teams definitely need to be mindful of as without their community, the project has nothing.</p><p>In this instance, token buybacks and burns can be a powerful tool for development teams to make use of. In doing so, it demonstrates to the community that the team is not only aware of the position they may be in, but is also taking steps to support them through it. The reduction in supply that a token burn leads to can have a significant positive impact on price action going forward, and this is often what investors are looking for.</p><h3><strong>Buybacks, Burns, and LUNA</strong></h3><p>In the wake of the recent LUNA/UST collapse, Do Kwon and the team from Terraform Labs (TFL) have put forward a proposal making use of the above mechanics.</p><p><em>“Currently, the burning of UST is too slow to keep pace with the demand for excess UST to exit the system, which is hindered by the BasePool size,” </em>reads the proposal. <em>“Eliminating a significant chunk of the excess UST supply at once will alleviate much of the peg pressure on UST.”</em></p><p>Terra plans to burn the nearly 1 billion UST (approximately US$690 million) in the community pool while increasing the Base Pool of LUNA to 100 million tokens. By virtue of how UST and LUNA come together to support the peg, this would increase the minting capacity to over $1 billion. In turn, this will help speed the outflows of UST from the system, theoretically pushing it back closer to its $1 peg while concurrently pushing down the price of LUNA.</p><p>TFL are not the only organization with plans for LUNA. MEXC, a Singapore based exchange, have announced their own special recovery plan, also centred around buybacks and burning of LUNA tokens. The exchange has proposed to buy LUNA from secondary markets using trading fees from LUNA/USDT, and then burn the newly purchased tokens, removing them from the supply. This should, as discussed above, provide some support to the price which is down well over 99% since its peak.</p><h3><strong>Putting It Together</strong></h3><p>Token buybacks are one of the powerful tools development teams have at their disposal when navigating the difficult task of developing a project. Burns can also be utilised to permanently reduce the circulating supply of a token, which can also accomplish a similar effect. By reducing the available supply, a buyback and burn can support token price, and help reduce some of the volatility that characterises the crypto space. These tools, when utilised correctly, are a potent way for development teams to reconnect with the community, show them they care about their wellbeing, and refocus on delivering a top tier product.</p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=eec0e395854b" width="1" height="1" alt=""><hr><p><a href="https://medium.com/guildfi/token-buybacks-and-burn-eec0e395854b">Token Buybacks and Burn</a> was originally published in <a href="https://medium.com/guildfi">GuildFi</a> on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.</p>

This campaign is a special privilege and will be exclusively for GuildFi users. The details of the event, including the duration, specific activities, and dates of WL selection and giveaway will be announced very soon via our <a href="https://twitter.com/GuildFiGlobal">Twitter</a> and <a href="http://discord.gg/guildfi">Discord</a> channels. Therefore, to be well-informed about this exclusive campaign, make sure you have followed our <a href="https://twitter.com/GuildFiGlobal">Twitter</a> and <a href="http://discord.gg/guildfi">Discord</a> channels and do check on them regularly for this major announcement!</p><p>World Overlay is building hyper-realistic virtual worlds on Web3. GuildFi believes this will create unlimited exciting experiences for its users allowing them to shape their own world on web3. For this reason, we strive to co-build the project and together with the committed team ensure that World Overlay reaches its massive potential.</p><h3>GuildFi ID</h3><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/0*cICnQPfEO74jybQh" /></figure><p>Having access to whitelist giveaways is among many special privileges that are reserved for GuildFi users. Each GuildFi user holds a GuildFi ID which is an achievement ranking tool to ensure all users are rewarded according to their interactions and achievements within the ecosystem. The GuildFi ID keeps track of your entire journey whether this is in regards to games, the metaverse or any other functionalities in the GuildFi ecosystem. The GuildFi ID converts all this into a Player Score for users which will be displayed in every user account to ensure users can keep track of their scores and movements in the GuildFi ecosystem and thus can keep track of the rewards that they are entitled to.</p><p>As such, GuildFi users, who would have a GuildFi ID, will have the exclusive access to the whitelist giveaway campaign for Aetheron Land!</p><h3>Aetheron Land</h3><p>Land parcels in Aetheron are NFTs, each uniquely designed with unique locations within the open world. Users will be able to design and build out a personalized homestead with an in-game editor, host friends and communities, while enjoying an additional dimension of gameplay through construction, community-based activities, and Aether Shard Mining within one’s homestead itself. In true open world fashion these homes will be connected and a part of the persistent landscape of Aetheron, offering a seamless transitionary experience for exploration in the greater world of Aetheron.</p><h4><strong>Access to Exclusive Mints</strong></h4><p>Land owners of a specific city will automatically gain access to whitelists for region-specific mints. These mints could be paid or free mints, and would represent in-virtual assets that could grant cosmetic or gameplay effects.</p><h4><strong>Gamified Reward Mechanisms</strong></h4><p>There are three main methods of obtaining Aether Shards presently within the virtual world of Aetheron:</p><ol><li>Land owners will receive a constant minimum emission by simply holding their land.</li><li>Land owners will receive an overriding portion of the Aether shards mined by players tagged to their land.</li><li>In-game activities available to all, such as Aether shard mining, questing, and competitive events.</li></ol><p>It is not uncommon that landowners will discover clusters of Aether Nodes appearing throughout their plots of land. These Nodes are no mere occurrences, and can be harvested to obtain Aether Shards. Land size does matter for this instance, as the larger the plot, the greater the likelihood for the occurrence of Aether Nodes. Harvested Aether Shards can be converted to AETHER, the World Overlay platform’s native token.</p><p>Plot owners will be able to enlist the help of players to harvest the resources of their land. A system of land tagging will be put in place, allowing owners to invite players to their land to gather resources. Respective sizes of land will have predetermined number of slots available, and land owners will receive a portion of the total number of shards mined through their land. This encourages a system of collaboration between land owners and free-to-play players, which ultimately pays to developing a healthy in-game economy for all.</p><h4><strong>Membership on the City Council</strong></h4><p>Being a land owner is established as a status symbol in the city, which entitles one to a seat on the city council. This seat allows landowners to have a say in the decisions made for the city as a whole, and shape the world of Aetheron through the collective decisions of the City Council.</p><p>The Land Supply graphic below shows the Aetheron Land supply on the World Overlay platform:</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/0*d3hIu-AZTZkWFnzQ" /></figure><h3>World Overlay Studios — Aetheron</h3><p>Below is a short message from World Overlay Studios which summarizes their thoughts behind Aetheron.</p><p>In addition to our portal, World Overlay Studios studio is proud to present our very own open world release, Aetheron.

You’ll be thinking about Ethereum, layer 2s, and, more recently, Avalanche subnets. This makes sense because both of these approaches solve many of the issues that come with deploying solely on Ethereum. High gas fees, slow transactions, and low transaction throughput can kill the user experience in the best of games. Layer 2 gaming solutions and subnets optimize the user experience in each of these areas and, as a result, will form an integral part of the multichain future.</p><p>Yet these offerings are not a panacea for all of the struggles that blockchain game developers must overcome in the pursuit of success. Layer 2 deployed games must contend with huge risks associated with using bridges — the $625 million Ronin chain hack is evidence of this. Subnet deployed games have to contend with the relatively lower liquidity and userbase of the Avalanche network compared to Ethereum, which could hamper adoption. These issues are, of course, not insurmountable, yet they must be considered in the broader context of the blockchain gaming space.</p><p>A project’s success is predicated on its ability to capture and retain users and lock in the value they bring. All it takes is one hack or loss of liquidity at an early stage, and the project very well may die. As such, it’s important to consider all of the potential solutions to the challenges unique to blockchain gaming. One such solution is Dotsama. Though not necessarily at the forefront of everyone’s mind, it’s a well-developed ecosystem that deserves consideration. In this article, we’ll be doing just that.</p><h3><strong>Dotsama From 35k Feet</strong></h3><p>The purpose of this article is not to dig into the technical specifications of the Dotsama ecosystem. Still, it is necessary to have a base understanding of the idiosyncrasies of the network and architecture. To that end, we’ll give a massively simplified overview here. Dotsama is a portmanteau of Polkadot and Kusama, meaning the ecosystem is made up of two chains instead of just one. This feature is important because Polkadot and Kusama serve very different purposes within the said ecosystem.</p><p>Polkadot, like Ethereum, is a smart contract enabled blockchain. Developed by Gavin Wood, a former core Ethereum developer and the first Ethereum CTO, the chain prioritizes decentralization, security, and speed. Polkadot is designed as a web of standalone blockchains, linked via their connection to a relay chain, akin to a bicycle wheel with many spokes connected to a central hub. The relay chain is the core of Polkadot’s architecture, coordinating the web of connected parachains. Each parachain connected to the relay chain is, in and of itself, a fully functioning blockchain. These parachains have their own consensus algorithm, token, and utilities. A maximum of 100 parachain slots can be won through auction, with the winners leasing the slot through bonding their DOT tokens. Each parachain then, in turn, brings additional security to the network as it grows.</p><p>Kusama operates with fundamentally the same architecture, except that where Polkadot functions as a production environment, Kusama is a public pre-production environment. To put it another way, Polkadot is for serious projects that require institutional-grade security and stability, and Kusama allows for developers to test and experiment with new applications, parachain architecture, and features before releasing them to the Polkadot network. Kusama is the canary (network) to the Polkadot miner (in the idiomatic sense, Dotsama is proof-of-stake). This experimental playground is beneficial to the ecosystem as it allows builders to explore new concepts and ideas in an environment where the inevitable issues are tolerated. Kusama is also known for faster upgrades to the base architecture and provides a lower-cost way for developers to get involved with parachain implementation than Polkadot.</p><h3><strong>Parachain Gaming</strong></h3><p>The parachain aspect of the Dotsama ecosystem makes it potentially very attractive for blockchain games. As mentioned before, each parachain runs its own consensus algorithm and unique features. This means the architecture of a given parachain could be configured to provide the elements needed for games to function seamlessly: low gas fees, fast transaction time, and high transaction throughput.</p><p>This is similar to both layer 2 solutions and the Avalanche subnet. A game can exist on a subnet dedicated to just that game or on a layer 2 that serves the same function. In the Dotsama ecosystem, games could live on a parachain dedicated to just gaming. The critical difference with subnets is that multiple platforms will run on the parachain instead of just one.</p><p>One such example of a gaming parachain is Efinity from blockchain firm Enjin. Efinity is the first parachain on the Polkadot network devoted to NFTs. As we have seen in previous articles, NFTs are the backbone of many of the most successful blockchain games in the space and are central to the functioning of the ever-popular play-and-earn mechanic in these games. Efinity is the home of more than 100 games and applications. One of these games, the NFT powered P2E game Cryptoblades, already has over one 1 million users. Efinity may be the first of the gaming-specific parachains, yet with the highly customizable aspect of parachain architecture, it is unlikely to be the last.</p><h3><strong>The Future of Dotsama Gaming: Parachain Layer 2s?</strong></h3><p>One potential issue with deploying games on a parachain, depending on the parachain architecture, is the same issue that plagues Ethereum: network congestion. Ethereum layer 2 solutions solve this by moving gaming activity onto a separate chain. It stands to reason then that the same approach could be adopted for parachain scaling in gaming. Though there is nothing officially out there purporting itself to be a Dotsama layer 2 platform, there is talk of certain protocols venturing into this as yet unexplored area.</p><p>Moonbeam on Polkadot and Moonriver on Kusama appear to be the center of this currently scattered discussion. Blockchain games such as Houses Of Rome have already deployed on Moonriver, intending to become a “liquidity blackhole” atop the network. In the same way, the DeFi Kingdoms gamified the entirety of the Harmony One ecosystem; HoR has ambitions of doing the same, and hints have been dropped that layer 2 may be the best way to achieve this. Again though, there is nothing officially available as yet, and the direction Dotsama gaming will evolve in the future is as yet uncertain for it.</p><p>What is certain is that the blockchain gaming universe will continue to expand at an ever-increasing rate, delivering more value and more varied experiences to those who matter most: the gamers.</p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=1a109239f48" width="1" height="1" alt=""><hr><p><a href="https://medium.com/guildfi/polkadot-gaming-1a109239f48">Polkadot Gaming</a> was originally published in <a href="https://medium.com/guildfi">GuildFi</a> on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.</p>

DAOs are created and operated on the blockchain through smart contracts, of which one must purchase a token (or NFT) to participate in the DAO. The token also gives rights to govern the different decisions that the DAO as a whole can make, where voting power scales with the amount of tokens the user holds. This mechanism aligns incentives between token holders and the DAO, where token holders will ultimately vote to serve the purpose of the DAO to increase the price of the token.</p><p>The purpose of DAOs varies entirely based on its community members. For example, ConsitutionDAO’s purpose was to raise enough money to purchase one of the original copies of the U.S. constitution from soothebyes. Other examples include protocols that provide financial services while operating as a business. These protocols are also known as DeFi protocols, the act of settling information (and money) on chain.</p><p>Similarly, it can also be argued that there are significant similarities between DAOs and Guilds. While Guilds in the crypto world are thought to be the act of renting out NFT assets to users in play to earn games, Guilds in the traditional gaming world are defined as “<strong>an organized group of video game players that regularly play together in one or more multiplayer games</strong>”. Ala, a Guild is essentially a DAO that operates in video games.</p><h4>GuildFi and DAO</h4><p>This brings us to GuildFi. GuildFi’s ultimate objective is to attract as many users as possible to web3 via the GuildFi platform. While the GuildFi name may confuse crypto natives who associate GuildFi with the traditional crypto guild model as outlined above, it is understood clearly by non crypto native gamers that GuildFi refers to a community of gamers that are attempting to add as much value to different games and web3 apps more broadly as possible.</p><p>As time progresses, GuildFi will continue to strive to empower token holders, giving each and every token holder the right to govern the protocol. The first step of this process was taken with the GF token launch, where the auction occurred through Copper Launch — a platform that allows each and every investor the opportunity to purchase as many GF tokens as they would prefer.</p><p>Additionally, in the coming months, GuildFi will also allow for governance to align users and investors such that the GuildFi platform and more importantly community, benefits as much as possible. This will also be done in combination with the sGF mechanism, where voting power will be determined not only by the amount of GF held, but rather, by how many sGF tokens you hold. sGF tokens are earned by staking GF tokens for a certain amount of time. The longer staked, the more sGF tokens are earned. Therefore, voting power will be distributed towards those that have staked their GF tokens for a longer period of time or, in other words, have aligned their interest with the longer term prospects of the GuildFi community and platform.</p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=60eeb2774dd9" width="1" height="1" alt=""><hr><p><a href="https://medium.com/guildfi/guildfi-and-daos-60eeb2774dd9">GuildFi and DAOs</a> was originally published in <a href="https://medium.com/guildfi">GuildFi</a> on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.</p>
