The combination of crypto and gaming is getting more and more popular as gamers show a lot of interest in the crypto space and blockchain platforms offer solutions for gamers. One of these solutions is play to earn (P2E) possibilities for gamers.
Play-to-earn games have a lot of potential, but often offer poor user experience. There is a lot of room for improvement. That is exactly why Nakamoto Games and its platform is a needed addition to the play-to-earn space, and why we decided to partner up with them. More about our decision to work together with this project is explained below.
BCA investments and Nakamoto Games
In the last few years, we have noticed a big growth in the following markets: blockchain, online gaming and the play-to-earn model. Nakamoto Games combines these three with their platform, offering solutions for gamers worldwide.While the potential is definitely there, play-to-earn and blockchain games do have quite some shortcomings. By addressing these shortcomings with their platform, Nakamoto Games is improving these landscapes. That’s why BCAi is proud to work together with this project and help it grow to become an important player in the blockchain and play-to-earn gaming space.
The growing popularity of blockchain gaming
Firstly, it’s important to note that there are multiple reasons why blockchain gaming is becoming so big:- The ownership of in-game assets is decentralized, which gives users more control over their assets.
- Interacting with assets can be done in several creative ways. People can sell, auction, buy and create in-game assets, but also do things like develop smart contracts for their assets. There are a lot of possibilities, which makes blockchain gaming exciting.
- Within blockchain gaming, NFT games are really starting to get popular. NFT rewards by playing games and completing challenges play an important role. People can play and earn unique tokens. This makes NFT gaming even more compelling.
- A relatively new movement in blockchain-based games is the ability to earn rewards by playing them. One of the ways in which gamers can be rewarded is with NFT tokens, as explained above. Of course, other ways of generating real income are also possible.
P2E Shortcomings & Solutions by Nakamoto Games
So while there is a lot of excitement around blockchain gaming and P2E, the shortcomings are still there. Below, we will summarize these shortcomings:- Current P2E gaming options are only available to limited audiences. Gamers have no real place to choose from when it comes to playing play-to-earn (blockchain) games.
- A lot of play-to-earn games are still quite basic and in early stages. They don’t receive a lot of traction, which results in only a few P2E projects becoming very popular.
- Developers have no platform to launch games to an established, big audience. Instead, they have to launch games into a competitive market with a lot of competition and limited ways to attract gamers.
The ecosystem gives developers full monetization liberty, while also giving them the ability to deploy and build games within the ecosystem. In addition, developers will be provided with a software development kit.
So for both gamers and developers, using the Nakamoto Games platform allows for interesting capitalization opportunities. In order to access the gaming platform, people only need a Web3 wallet. However, to participate in the gaming options, NAKA tokens will be required. Below, we will give an explanation of this token.
NAKA tokens
In this project’s ecosystem, NAKA tokens play an important role. These tokens are used to acquire the necessary fuel for each game. An example is that gamers can use NAKA tokens to acquire ammunition within games.Part of the NAKA tokens will be burned each week. Apart from this, NAKA has two important use cases:
- The tokens are pooled into a weekly prize pool. The highest ranking gamers on the leaderboards for each individual game will be distributed rewards from this weekly prize pool.
- By holding NAKA, people will be able to participate in the governance of the platform. This gives people the ability to vote on several proposals, like the burning of NAKA tokens and the structure of weekly prize pools.
