What is the problem that you’re solving?
- We want to help gamers to easily make interactive online games 100% on-chain.
- This is difficult because there is no easy way to 1) stream live information on-chain and 2) incentivize individual game creators .
- Streaming of information is extremely difficult using current blockchain networks and this limits the interactive nature of online games.
- This is one of the main reasons we have not seen MMOGs built 100% on-chain. The polling model can be adopted to a certain extent but this is not suitable or sustainable for a real time interactive game environment with mass players.
- Also, there is no easy way to effectively incentivize micro studios and individual game creators for their creativity using a conventional web3 value share model.
- The conventional model is designed to incentivize players for their play but no real progress has been made in exploiting the creative inertia of gamers and amateur creators.
