The PlayMining GameFi platform’s DEAPcoin ($DEP) token is performing very bullishly following the announcement of an NFT collaboration with the popular Devilman manga and anime series. At the time of this writing, DEP is currently a top-5 gaming token on Coinmarketcap by 7 day % change, with a 13% seven-day price increase and over 20% growth in market cap.
DEP’s bullish market performance comes at a time when other top-tier gaming tokens are experiencing a bearish slump — Guild of Guardians ($GOG), Oasys ($OAS), Immutable ($IMX) and Axie Infinity ($AXS) are all now dipping on the market charts. Meanwhile, DEP is still going strong, boasting one-month price and market cap increases of 41% and 49%, and respective three-month increases of 120% and 168%.
Major Brand Collab Driving Traction
Devilman is a well-known top-60 manga and anime franchise, having sold over 50 million manga copies since it first launched in 1972. Most serious fans of Japanese manga and anime will be familiar with the title, and PlayMining has a significant user base in Japan — making this new partnership a particularly prominent one in the Japanese GameFi space.
For PlayMining’s collaboration with the Devilman franchise, a new limited edition Devilman NFT collection is being integrated with the popular PlayMining card battle game JobTribes. Collectors can purchase limited quantities of six different Devilman NFT styles on the PlayMining NFT market until Jan. 31, after which the remaining cards will be raffled off over the following two weeks (or until supplies last). ‘Premium Recruitment’ raffle tickets can be purchased from within JobTribes from Jan. 31 until Valentine’s Day.
As a special bonus, whoever draws the very last Devilman NFT during the Premium Recruitment raffle period will receive a special one-of-a-kind Legendary “Rage of Fire Devilman” NFT as a prize.
JobTribes also has a “Devilman’s Invasion!” event prepared, which will run during the Premium Recruitment period. During this event, players will be able to win another kind of Legendary NFT depicting Devilman’s amulet, as well as other useful game items.
High-Profile #GamifyingWork Partnerships Bolstering DEP Token Rally
DEP’s rebound began three months ago, directly following an official PlayMining announcement of multiple high-level partnerships and a new business model that PlayMining calls #GamifyingWork. Under this new initiative, PlayMining is helping real-world companies from any industry outsource various work tasks to gamers, who can perform the tasks remotely as in-game quests and be rewarded with DEP for their ‘work’.
Kozo Yamada, co-CEO of PlayMining owner Digital Entertainment Asset, said that the new Gamifying Work solution is addressing a severe labor shortage crisis that is affecting many industries across the world. In fact, as many as four out of five companies may be affected globally, according to research by ManpowerGroup. But under PlayMining’s new initiative, companies that are not even traditionally part of the digital space, such as heavy industries, can remotely fill this labor demand in innovative ways.
PlayMining has a pilot project launching this spring in collaboration with the world’s fourth-largest electric power company, TEPCO Power Grid. The new PlayMining game will send teams of players out into their communities to photograph aging utility poles, with DEP tokens allocated to the teams that connect the most power lines in their game. As a result, TEPCO, which has been suffering from a lack of power pole inspectors, can now more efficiently maintain their aging power infrastructure.
A similar project is also underway to fill labor demands at waste processing facilities — this time via a highly innovative game in which players can remotely operate real-life waste-sorting robots. Japan’s second-largest telecom operator, KDDI, invested in DEA last summer to promote more such Gamifying Work projects. PlayMining went on to announce a slew of new collaboration partnerships in October, addressing numerous industries and social good goals including CO2 reduction, disaster prevention, animal welfare, local revitalization, inheritance, elderly quality-of-life and employment for people with disabilities.

OHDAT-affiliated NFT Game Project Paladin Pandas launched their ERC-20 Token $BAMB on the Ethereum chain on April 6th 2022. This established Paladin Pandas as one of the first NFT projects that has completed both the launch of their play-to-earn game and their token.
A hand-drawn 10K NFT collection launched on Opensea on September 28th 2021, Paladin Pandas sold out in 32 minutes. It was ranked №6 on the daily volume leaderboard, №13 on the weekly volume leaderboard and featured on the OpenSea homepage.
NFT whale owners including influencer and top collector, Zeneca_33, COLE, co-founder of Pudgy Penguins, and NFT influencers Josh Ong and NFT Girl, as well as crypto artist JN Silva, all added Paladin Pandas to their collection.
This led to recognition from established VCs and other institutions and angel investors and OHDAT raised funding totalling US$4M from Future Capital, Hashkey Capital, Innoangel, Y2Z Capital, Vincent Niu, the founder of Sky9 Capital and Mandy Wang, the founder of Odaily. The funds raised were to go towards launching new projects and implementing the Open World social simulation game and MMORPG game, highlighted on their Roadmap 2.0.
On January 25th, Paladin Pandas launched ‘PvE game Space Expedition’, where players send their Pandas to planets on an expedition (with 15 stages each) while strategically putting the Pandas into teams of 3 to retrieve the lost $BAMB (Bamboonium) through battles and mini-games. Since categories like element, class, weapon all matter in the gameplay, players need to select the right pandas to buy and be sent to battle, involving strategy gameplay.
All $BAMB earned from the PvE game is locked in the players’ $BAMB balance, to be unlocked and claimable at a weekly rate of 15%. The lockup can be lifted if players manage to get on the PvP daily/weekly leaderboard.
On March 9th, PvP: ‘Panda v. Panda’ open demo was officially released, a 1V1 3D combat game for true gamers. Players pay $BAMB to enter the arena and loot more $BAMB from other players. With 48 weapons, 7 basic moves and 21 stages, the gameplay is not limited to a ‘Stake-to-Earn’ mechanism; it is an actual ‘Play-to-Earn’ NFT game with delightful strategy gaming, which is a stab at revolutionizing NFT gaming. Up to now, which can be quite monotonous when the focus is only on the earnings. The PvP open demo initiated the “Clean the rugs’ campaign and airdropped 40K $BAMB tokens to the gamefi project holdlers.
Giving perks to all NFT holders was taken into account when devising the Paladin Pandas ecosystem. Mandatory to use a Paladin Panda to enter the game, so as to extend the user base to more NFT gamers, non-holders can also rent Pandas by paying $BAMB. The rental limit for each Panda is 2x for PvE and 3x for PvP.
Besides being an in-game currency, $BAMB has several utilities. First, $BAMB can be staked along with LP tokens to mine 5% of the overall supply, a total of 25M $BAMB. Second, $BAMB can be swapped to Power Raffle tickets, which is a WEB3 raffle machine to win blue chip NFT projects with minimum entry fees. Third, $BAMB holders are able to access exclusive online store merchandise, in-game marketplace boosts, and also the whitelist marketplace to consume their tokens.
To celebrate the $BAMB launch, the OHDAT team will incentivize Panda owners with 2 airdrops. First, 60 Rent Tickets will be dropped to 30K new addresses for mining the game, for their first run. Second, 1.5% of the overall supply, totaling 7.5M $BAMB will be airdropped to all Panda holders. Prioritizing fun gaming features, Paladin Pandas aims for $BAMB to be a “blue chip token” in the NFT market over the long term.
The crypto market seems to have lost its luster for a while now, with the overall market valuation falling below $2-trillion. Despite Bitcoin’s 13th birthday celebrations, the crypto carnage has persisted. The blue-chip cryptos are now battling for action with a dramatic drop in volumes. However, the current drop has not affected some tokens and has not deterred investors, who are now looking for tokens to fill their bags. Here are a few expert-picked crypto tokens that are showing great potential.
Axie Infinity ($AXS)
Axie Infinity is a play-to-earn game that allows users to buy, breed, and sell Axies (pets) against one another in order to win in-game crypto called the smooth love potions, which you can convert into real money.
Players can cash out their tokens regularly. Smooth Love Potion ($SLP) and Axie Infinity Shard ($AXS) are the two types of tokens in the game, and both are tradable on crypto exchanges. $SLP is used for in-game transactions and rewards whereas $AXS is the governance token that powers the entire ecosystem. Axie Infinity, which runs on its own sidechain Ronin, has gained enormous popularity in 2021.
Decentraland ($MANA)
$MANA is the native token of Decentraland, a growing blockchain-powered virtual world based on the Ethereum blockchain. This project began in 2017 as a foundation for developing multiplayer games, but it quickly gained traction due to the metaverse buzz in 2021. The Decentraland Builder contains hundreds of 3D objects that players can use to build or manufacture nearly anything in this virtual environment as game tokens.
Players can use free and open marketplaces to buy and sell virtual parcels built inside Decentraland. It comes as no surprise that $MANA is one of the most popular cryptocurrencies of 2021. Players can also use $MANA to buy in-game items like avatar costumes, as well as vote on future Decentraland developments where a single $MANA token represents a single vote.
Gala ($GALA)
Gala is a P2E game based on the Ethereum network with its own native token called $GALA. It was founded in 2019 by Eric Schiermeyer, one of the co-founders of the leading mobile game company Zynga, that created popular games like Mafia Wars and Farmville. The game already has 1.3 million registered users and its goal with blockchain is to give users more power over their gaming experiences.
The game aims to change the reality in which players spend thousands of dollars on in-game items and spend countless hours playing the game, only to have it all taken away with the click of a button. Gala leverages NFTs that allow users to vote on new games and influence how they operate. $GALA token is the heart of the system that can be used to purchase NFTs as well as in-game items. Gala One has already released their flagship game Town Star, and there are many more games in the works that are expected to launch in 2022.
The Sandbox ($SAND)
The Sandbox is an Ethereum-based project that allows users to construct and explore galaxies in a virtual cosmos. Initially, it launched as a normal mobile and PC game but Animoca Brands then turned into a blockchain gaming ecosystem powered by crypto and NFTs.
Players in the system create and design their own characters in order to access the Sandbox metaverse’s many landscapes, games, and centers. The produced digital objects may then be monetized with NFTs and sold for $SAND tokens on the Sandbox Marketplace. Unlike other popular play-to-earn games, the Sandbox does not have a preset gameplay universe. Instead, it takes a dynamic approach, allowing users to personalize anything using free and easy design tools.
FireZard ($ZARD)
FireZard is a new P2E game based on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) network. It is the first Trading Card Game that passively and instantly rewards investors in an attractive and collectible way through NFTs. The game revolves around the major five dragons that are employed to compete with other players. Each FireZard NFT Card represents a dragon and has its own set of features.
Moreover, the Cards are not only collectible, but they have an instant win prize attached to them that is worth anything from 0.1 BNB to 5 BNB. Players of this game are massively rewarded with the game’s native tokens, $ZARD, and $FLAME. $FLAME tokens will only be used for in-game activities, whereas $ZARD tokens will play a much larger role in propelling the platform. With the game still in its early stages, $ZARD is expected to explode in the coming months.
2022 Will be the Year of Gaming Crypto
Blockchain gaming is a rapidly expanding area within the crypto and blockchain sectors, and it is likely to expand more in the coming months. These are some of the projects that have a lot of potential and should be looked into further for 2022 and beyond.
Please introduce yourself, tell us about your background and what you do at Pokemine.
My name is Sato, co-founder of PokeMine and DEME. I was in the online dating industry back in 2015. A big issue of that industry was that there were lots of scammers. So, we thought of a way of building up a shared blacklist database with other dating apps to identify whether this newly registered user has any digital footprint that matches the data in this database. This way, we can identify the scammers at the early stages before they can harm other users. But we encountered huge difficulties in persuading all the dating apps to be part of this project. They wanted to use it, but they didn’t like to share their data. And blockchain is the natural way to deal with this problem. Ethereum just came out back then. We did some research and realized no mainnet back then could handle this database. We recognized this as an opportunity for us, so I led my team to get into Blockchain, starting with public chain development. We gained lots of technical experience, worked closely with some pretty famous projects in the market, then Join Games studio found us and we formed a new studio called DEME games, a metaverse GameFi studio. So yeah, this is my brief story.
2. Congratulations on your launch, PokeMine is ticking all the right buzzwords like NFTs, GameFi and Pokemon. Describe your gaming model so our readers can understand more how PokeMine works.
Thanks, let’s talk about the economic model of PokeMine first. In PokeMine, there are several different assets. They are Pokemon NFTs, PokeMine Diamond as $PMD tokens, stamina, and gold coins. For users in the early stages, we have not made stamina and gold coins as independent circulating tokens, so that the game is easier to adapt to at the beginning. As more and more users are familiar with the game, stamina and gold coins will be traded and circulated in the market. All stamina, gold coins, and 75% of PMD can only be mined or earned in-game. 15% of PMD is reserved by early investors and development teams with a lock-up period of 24 months. 10% will be sold to the market with a lock-up period of 6 months.
Secondly, PokeMine has created a unique NFT mechanism so that the user’s NFT is no longer a work of art but a way to build characters in the game. PokeMine has 4 different colors of PokeMine NFTs, which are red, orange, purple, and blue (URSSR SR R N) in descending order of quality and Pokemon combat power. More powerful sprites are rarer. Users need to upgrade NFTs through PVE, or use equipment to upgrade Pokemons to improve combat power, endurance, attributes, etc., in order to deal with the Evil BOSS battle recently announced by PokeMine. To know more about the setting of Evil BOSS, you can follow PokeMine official Twitter to check the related content. In the official game, the PokeMine dispatch is the entry to participate in the challenge of the Evil BOSS. You can participate in the dispatch with the high-quality Pokemons you have or the limited Pokemons from the voting event. You can also use the water of time props dropped from the explore level to extend the dispatch time for a higher return.
What can you tell us about the actual game itself, how is it played?
PokeMine is an action card mobile game with Pokémon as its theme. It is the first Pokémon mobile game where players can independently evolve elves and change their appearance! The overall game restores the Pokémon world in depth. The game adds a variety of rich gameplay methods such as the classic Pokémon gacha system, Pokémon cultivation system, Checkpoint battles, Z move, Pokémon dispatch (mining), etc.
There are two different assets in PokeMine, NFT and PokeMine Diamond ($PMD). Currently, users can purchase PMD on MDEX, ButterSwap, and PancakeSwap, and can also use PMD to obtain Pokemon NFTs from the in-game Pokemon Center, as well as Treasureland. In addition, PokeMine is developing its own trading platform in NFT Market, which will be launched soon.
Players can register on the official website of deme.games and bind their wallet to download the game or visit the official website of DEME in the mobile wallet to download the PokeMine game. The wallets supported by the official website of DEME are: ONTO, Bitkeep, Coin98, Coinhub, Huobi, Metamask.
For specific operation details, players can refer to tutorial for PokeMine official version: 1.0.07
Interpretation of gameplay
Players will get 3 initial Pokemons when they enter the game (note that these 3 Pokemons cannot be extracted). By consuming physical strength to pass the adventure level, the team EXP and PokeMine EXP obtained are used to level up. Players who reach a certain level can unlock other functions in the system, such as explore levels, Pokemon dispatch, and other functions of Pokemon training, etc. At present, the main way to obtain PMD is through the explore levels and Pokemon dispatch. Players can consume PMD to gacha NFT or Pokemon fragments from Gacha system, and they can participate in gold-making if they meet the conditions of elf dispatch. The Pokemon dispatch function adds a limited Pokemon mechanism, and the limited Pokemons are selected by voting and replaced regularly. The output mechanism of PMD in this level has also been optimized, and the output will be calculated based on the total combat power of the entire server. Players can get more rewards by using limited Pokemons or Pokemons with high combat power during the dispatch process.
Pokémon Social Interaction
Built-in scenes can also be used for real-time interaction. Efficient data interaction and processing capabilities can display all user data in time. Also, players can exchange ideas and experiences with other players in the “world” at any time, provided with an immersive experience. The in-game friend function has been opened in version 1.0.07. At present, the equipment function has not been opened yet. We look forward to giving players a brand new gold-making experience and promise to optimize the user experience and continue to work towards a better PokeMine GameFi!!!

Gaming and investing has now become two sides of the same coin with NFTs. How do you see GameFi and NFTs impacting the real world?
In the past, there was no direct connection between games and finance to the connection between players and investors. But now, GameFi facilitates the interconnection between players and investors, allowing players to earn to play, which provides a new market model. In addition, GameFi endows NFT with more practical value through gamification settings. NFT items in the game are no longer just items sold on the NFT trading platform, but can also be directly traded in the market from the game, making the transaction process easier than traditional Game.
GameFi is an intuitive way for users to understand the metaverse. It started in the game industry, but in the future, it will further affect all aspects of human social life, such as social and financial. The global gaming market is expected to generate $175.8 billion of revenue in 2021 and exceed $200 billion in 2023. GameFi is in a relatively early stage of development and has huge potential.
The integration of NFTs with GameFi has paid off. It will continue to have a profound impact on the business model of the gaming industry and the ownership of in-game virtual assets at both the macro and micro levels. So what kind of magical chemistry will the combination of Pokémon and GameFi produce? No doubt, PokeMine is the right answer as the perfect restoration of the Pokemon world!!!
2. What other trends do you see developing in this industry?
At present, GameFi projects on various public chains are very popular, and they are becoming more and more mature from an economic model to game play design. The huge game player base and overall market provide unprecedented opportunities for the development of GameFi. GameFi has become unstoppable with the vigorous development and another breakthrough in blockchain applications, or it can be said that they have become the final form of game development and the entrance to the metaverse. In-depth analysis, looking at GameFi from the three perspectives of GameFi’s economic model, autonomy and decentralization, we will find that GameFi is a transitional stage in the development of the metaverse and plays a very important role in connecting the past and the future. We all know that there are infinite possibilities and hopes behind GameFi, which is also the original intention of DEME studio to build a real decentralized metaverse platform by supporting different stable commercial blockchain infrastructures. PokeMine is our first answer sheet.
3. Thanks for the interview, any last words or exciting news to share?
Currently, the PokeMine project has only launched part of functions in the game version 1.0.08. And it is worth paying attention to the announcement of the card pool released before the 1.0.07 version goes live. The amount of NFT to be produced is enough to make players excited. In addition, the official weekly project report is also a focus. To stabilize the operation of the PokeMine ecological, economic system, the setting of the PMD burn mechanism includes that the output of PMD in the whole server will increase the difficulty of production according to the increase in the total combat power of the whole server, and the PMD not produced by the Pokemon dispatched prize pool, consumed in gacha system and explore levels all will be destroyed. The specific content will be announced every week.
The dispatch level of PokeMine ushered in new gameplay — challenging the Evil Boss. In this mechanism, the Pokemon dispatch is the bridge to enter the time and space of the DEME metaverse. The Pokemons of justice in the Pokemon world are sent to fight against the evil bosses in the cave of time and space. When the total combat power of the whole server reaches a certain level, the corresponding PMD output can be unlocked. Currently, 7 levels of evil bosses have been officially announced, and the number of diamonds unlocked by the largest evil boss π·Mewtwo is X million (X>1.1 million).
This gameplay combines PokeMine’s currency sales mechanism in the elf dispatch level, the announcement of the PokeMine pool, and the real-time proposal, voting, and system parameter changes of the multiplier Pokemons in the Pokemon dispatch. The overall token mechanism in a deflationary state, the longer-term and more stable dual-deflation token economy, the complete destruction of the blind box for drawing cards, and the automatic adjustment of production and sales ratios to the game system, all contribute to the virtuous circle of the game economic system. As a leading chain game distribution platform in the industry, DEME’s first GameFi PokeMine is only the prototype of the DEME metaverse space. Players can also earn a lot of platform governance coins by playing in the game. Players own the platform and share development dividends.
In the future, PokeMine will explore a wider, deeper metaverse with all the PokeMiners together!!!
Singapore, December 20th 2021 — For most of history, games have had no direct link with finance, and players had nothing to do with investors. GameFi has now enabled the connections between them with mechanisms such as playtoearn, which opens up a brand new sector in the market.
PokeMine is a new action card mobile game with Pokémon as its theme. It is the first Pokémon mobile game where players can independently evolve elves and change their appearance. The overall game restores the Pokémon world in depth, adding a variety of rich gameplay such as the classic Pokémon gacha system, Pokémon cultivation system, checkpoint battles, Z move, Pokémon dispatch (mining), and many others. There are also Budokan, Invasion of Mythical Beasts, Daily Trail, Team Hunting, Battle Tower, Champions Road, Budokan Battle, Quartz Assembly, Alliance War, Cross-server PK and many other gameplay varieties available.
Pokemon has created a unique NFT mechanism that enables a user’s NFT to no longer just be a work of art but a way to build characters in a game. PokeMine has 4 different colors of Pokemon NFTs, red being the most powerful, followed by orange, then purple, then blue. More powerful Pokemons are relatively rare. Users can upgrade NFTs through PVE, or upgrade Pokemon with equipment. Equipment in the game can increase the Pokemon’s combat power, dispatch time, etc. PokeMine has many features to explore, and more detailed tutorials will be released when the official version is released.
Pokemon Exploration: Users can explore the levels to obtain rewards and reach higher levels for their Pokemon. Higher levels, better attributes, and stronger skills make the user’s Pokemon more valuable.
Pokemon Dispatch: Players can get rich rewards by dispatching. The longer the dispatch period, the better the quality of the Pokemon, the more lucrative the rewards, such as diamonds. Using the ‘limit Pokemon Dispatch’ will also double the revenue, depending on the actual profit. Each dispatch line accounts for the dispatch time independently, and each dispatch queue has 4 hours of free dispatch time every day. You can increase any dispatch queue’s available time on the same day by using the “Time aquatic” item produced by [Exploration Level].
In addition, the “limited Pokemon” mechanism and sending “limited Pokemon” can provide a certain percentage of dispatch value bonus for this dispatch queue. The higher the quality of the qualified Pokemon, the greater the increase.
Exploring level and Adventure level: Adventure points and exploration points both require stamina, so it is best to use the stamina of adventure levels in the early stages to level up your team, unlock new features, and then improve your Pokemon overall with appropriate experience gains. Players upgrade Pikachu to unlock to multi-adventure levels. Diamonds are consumed at each level. The amount consumed increases with the progress of the level.
Changeable Combat Strategies: Pokemon types are divided into attack, heal, skill, and defense, and each Pokemon can play according to its positioning characteristics, making the entire gaming experience a battle of wit and courage, and full of strategization.
Cultivate Pokemons: There are more skills that players can use in the game to make you invincible, as well as to increase the level of Pokemons, stars, skill levels, and more so that the Pokemons can continue to grow, allowing players to cultivate a unique and powerful Pokemon from scratch.
Equipment: Elf armor can be upgraded to increase stats. Armor attributes are given to corresponding Pokemons, which is the player’s goal.
Pokemon Center (Gacha Center): Pokemon center’s Gacha System is the main way for players to obtain Pokemon and Pokemon shards. The Pokemon are randomly selected, by consuming diamonds or props. And there are rare Pokemon hidden in it, which can make for surprises.
Pokemon Social Interaction: The built-in gaming environment can also be used for real-time interaction, efficient data interaction, and processing capabilities, so that all users’ data can be displayed in real time. Players can exchange ideas and experiences with other players in the “world” at any time, offering users an immersive experience.
How to start playing Pokemon:
1. Players need to register an account onhttps://deme.games, then connect their wallets and e-mails.
2. To download the game, sign in on the official website.
The Real World Impact of NFTs in Gaming
Besides gameplay, NFTs have more real-world value. NFT items in games are not just items sold on NFT platforms, but they can deal directly on the markets, making the dealing process much easier than in traditional games.
GameFi is one of the ways that can help users understand Metaverse with more clarity. While its beginnings are in the game industry, in the future, it will have a strong impact on more aspects of human civilization, for instance in finance and socialization. It is estimated that in 2021 the global game market will reach profits of $175.8 billion. It is expected that during 2023, the gains will exceed $200 billion. GameFi is at a relatively early stage of development, and it still has enormous growth potential.
The integration of NFT and GameFi has produced a huge impact on gaming and will continue to have both micro and macro effects on business models as well as virtual assets ownership rights.
With the combination of Pokemon and GameFi, PokeMine is without a doubt, the rebirth of the Pokemon world in the real world.
PokeMine was officially launched on December 16th, 2021. After completing its first round of $5 million funding on November 16 2021, more functions have been increasingly launched one after another in stages. The first funding round was financed by GMC, Blockchain Ventures, Hayek Capital, YIBI Exchange, YSL Capital, HKD.COM, NKCCapital, and others. The funds are being used for Pokemon’s technology development and team building so as to fund international growth.
Currently, PokeMine NFTs have been deployed on the Heco-chain and Binance Smart Chain based on the ERC-721 token standard. There are two different types of assets in PokeMine: NFTs and PokeMine Diamonds ($PMD). Users can purchase PokeMine NFTs on Treasureland and purchase $PMD from MDEX and ButterSwap and use PMD to get Pokemon NFTs from the Pokemon center in the game.
The project has also made an official announcement to attract influencers for PokeMine. The influencer initiative purports to give influencers the opportunity to join and share in a large portion of the bonuses. Influencers need to promote across Pokemine social platforms, which include: Telegram, Discord and Twitter.
Diverse game scenarios and unique gameplay have made Pokemon a high-profile GameFi project. There are plenty of strategies and methods to explore, both in the PvE scenario and future PVP. Better strategization will not only be more fun for the player, it will lead to a higher return on investment. In the aspects of game quality and tokenomics, PokeMine is one of the leading offerings in this market.
No Deme games will be deployed on centralized service clients like Amazon in the future. All Deme games will be deployed on the DEME mainnet node, a system which is completely decentralized. Technically, that is the biggest advantage of Deme.
In the future, Deme will access Metaverse and empower more Web 3.0 applications. Meanwhile, Deme will support Cross-chain bridge, Multi-chain wallet, NFT trading markets, and Defi assembly kits. It also sorts the utilities of Metaverse, helps users create decentralized identities, and makes it convenient for users to manage Token and NFT assets easily. What’s more, Deme will let users enjoy all kinds of encrypted applications, and build SocialDAO blocks, open up encrypted application communities, and decentralized governance. Deme will build a highly-decentralized Metaverse platform, inspiring the unlimited vision of every gaming and crypto enthusiast to the encrypted world.
Binance Smart Chain (BSC)-based Era7: Game of Truth combines TCG (trading card gaming) with fast-paced competitive gameplay while incorporating NFT-themed play-to-earn concepts.
Singapore, November 12th, 2021 — Deploying the concepts of GameFi in the exciting combination of DeFi and NFT technologies, upcoming Play-to-Earn trading card game Era7: Game of Truth has successfully closed its first round of fundraising. Investors include some of the most renowned VCs and institutions in blockchain: Hashkey, Huobi, Okcoin, Binary Capital, DAG, Waterdrip, Dreamseeker, BTC12, Tembusu and Mobox.
Era7 will be launched in Q1 of 2022 and is expected to take the global NFT GameFi market by storm. The game has been developed by core team members who hail from well-known international Korean game manufacturers such as Com2uS, NCsoft, Nexon, and Netmarble, companies with more than 15 years of success in the traditional mobile and online video gaming industry.
Game of Truth is an innovative NFT-based competitive game based on TCG (Trading Card Game) concepts, with its creative essence coming from Hearthstone and Magic The Gathering R&D. Standing on the shoulders of giants, the Era7 team aims to bring innovation even further with the development of its GameFi product.
Players collect cards to fight and they win when their opponents are defeated. Given that the learning curve is not steep, the game appeals to all kinds of gamers — from your housewife and granny demographic to your technophile gaming gurus. Players from all levels will be able to find their place in the game. Moreover, Era7 incorporates a complete economic incentive system with the first batch of NFT drops slated for release in December 2021.
Era7 Combines Play-to-Earn & Play-for-Fun!
According to Newzoo, the overall market of the global gaming industry will reach US$175.8 billion in 2021, the total number of players will reach approximately 3 billion, with esports gamers exceeding 474 million. In 2019, the global Collectible Card Game market size was US$ 9,949.63 million and is expected to reach US$ 27,294.79 million by the end of 2026, with a CAGR of 15.89% during 2020–2026. Aware of the growing gaming market, as early as 2018, Era7 had already successfully developed and perfected its game and to date has amassed a user base of more than 10 million players.
The development team has included NFT concepts and technology which greatly benefit players. The income aspect and the value of the NFT assets will naturally attract a large pool of users to join. Furthermore, the game does not require prior knowledge of cryptocurrencies. Getting started is easy, and offers what every gamer wants — strategy and fun gaming.
Standing Out from the GameFi Competition
There are three ways that Game of Truth differs from other GameFi projects on the market. Firstly, the project’s games are rich in depth and content, providing users with long hours of entertainment. The large and well-designed card system is underpinned by a well-developed numerical system that supports innovative gameplay. The combination of a mildly competitive mode with extensive rich gaming content are not usually available in GameFi.
Secondly, the low threshold for players to get started and the extent of gaming content helps attract gamers from the traditional gaming space to join, creating a huge market when combined with the blockchain/crypto gamers.
Lastly, novice or experienced gamers can all have fun and benefit from play2earn — and that is a truth shared by both developers and players in this brave new horizon of GameFi. Both the project and the players work hand in hand to create an ecosystem of gaming that produces value to mutually benefit both parties.
Top Quality Trading Cards to Fight, Trade or Sell
Traditional TCG users will resonate with the exquisitely designed and excellent quality of all the Era7 cards.
