# What is GAM3S.GG?

GAM3S.GG is a web3 gaming superapp that curates and creates content to spotlight the top games and showcases reviews, guides, news, quests, annual award shows, and more.&#x20;

For the past three years, the team has built a robust and industry-recognized platform driven by their top-tier game partnerships and commanding one of the largest communities across web3 gaming.

With over 1,000,000 registered users, the platform continues to evolve with one clear goal: *to improve the web3 gaming experience & onboard more gamers.*&#x20;

This mission has driven new features, made possible by an agile and passionate team of experienced gamers that have helped hundreds of thousands seamlessly navigate the web3 gaming space, interact with games in unprecedented ways, and become the ultimate bookmark on every gamer's device.

Welcome to *the* home of web3 gaming.

# The Web3 Gaming Opportunity

The gaming industry is one of the most lucrative and fastest-growing sectors in the overall global economy. According to Newzoo, the global games market reached $184 billion in 2023, with a projected CAGR of 1.3% through 2026, reaching $205.4 billion&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/FxwIFMsiJtzARIeoOGfD" alt=""><figcaption><p>Newzoo 2024 Report</p></figcaption></figure>

In parallel, the emergence of blockchain technology has catalyzed a paradigm shift in gaming. Blockchain gaming, characterized by decentralized ownership, interoperability, and play-to-earn mechanics, represents a seismic departure from traditional gaming models. The integration of blockchain technology enables true ownership of in-game assets, fostering a vibrant ecosystem of player-driven economies and decentralized gaming experiences.

According to MarketsandMarkets report, the global blockchain gaming market was projected to grow from USD 4.6 billion in 2022 to USD 65.7 billion by 2027 at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 70.3% during the forecast period.

Blockchain gaming has drawn the appeal of many due to its inherent differences in monetization models and open-economy systems compared to traditional games. Perhaps most known for the following differentiating criteria:

1. **Decentralized Economies:** Blockchain games facilitate player-driven economies, enabling gamers to monetize their skills, assets, and achievements securely.
2. **Tokenization & Asset Ownership:** The advent of Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) empowers gamers to truly own in-game assets, fostering a thriving digital asset marketplace.
3. **Interoperability & Cross-Game Engagement:** Blockchain's interoperable nature facilitates seamless asset transfers and gameplay experiences across diverse gaming platforms, enhancing user engagement and retention.

However, the blockchain gaming space lacks the engaging, high-quality game titles that helped shape the gaming industry over the past decades, as well as a true sense of education around the various facets of blockchain technology within gaming and the overall rising blockchain gaming space.&#x20;

Curious gamers may often find themselves dwindling on a slippery slope of low-quality, unpolished game titles or, even worse, fall victim to the endless scams and phishing sites disguised as games and preying on the unaware and unexpecting gamers.&#x20;

There lies the opportunity.

IGN and Kotaku exist in traditional gaming to help guide gamers to top-quality titles and warn them about undeserving ones. Hundreds of thousands of gaming creators dive even further and present their analyses, likes, and dislikes. Yet, in blockchain gaming—the space that perhaps needs a golden compass to help navigate through the noise and avoid the traps—there is no IGN or Kotaku.

Enter GAM3S.GG - the home of web3 gaming. A platform devoted to guiding new gamers through game discovery, reviews, guides, daily news and elevating the experience beyond being solely a media site through engaging quests, analytics, rewards and much more.

While most remain uncertain which game or genre will take off first or what blockchain will see the most success in web3 gaming, regardless of titles, genres, or tech stack, once new gamers enter the space through the already increasing appeal and sentiment shift, the need for an all-encompassing gaming platform to help guide decisions, spotlight the top titles, and keep gamers updated will only increase.&#x20;

Today, GAM3S.GG is widely recognized as the #1 web3 gaming platform that goes an extra step beyond simply listing any game in the space - but develops comprehensive game pages with review breakdowns and step-by-step guides and leverages industry connections to share exclusive announcements, insights and more. We've built a robust platform, even while most didn't care, because it's no longer a question of "if" but "when".&#x20;


# The Problem with Web3 Gaming

It's no secret that lack of education is one of the biggest challenges in this space. More so, the lack of targeted education & opportunities for each individual.

Web3 gaming is still in its infancy. While the overall traditional gaming space boasts over 3 billion gamers worldwide, the industry currently barely has 2M+ gamers in web3 identified through connected wallets, which can often be inflated due to multiple wallets per user.

GAM3S.GG aims to break down the barriers that separate web2 gamers from the limitless possibilities of blockchain-powered games and *speak the language* of gamers to foster genuine interest and an appetite to explore the web3 gaming space.

However, this is no easy task. Today, 4 main stakeholders are facing distinct individual problems:&#x20;

{% hint style="danger" %}
**Gamers**

*Struggle to find fun games with easy onboarding.*
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="danger" %}
**Games**

*Struggle with launching & acquiring players given overall industry sentiment & lack of users.*
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="danger" %}
**Content Creators**

*Forced to amplify paying customers to survive, regardless of quality.*
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="danger" %}
**Investors**

*Get overwhelmed with hype, daily launches & often FOMO into poor decisions.*
{% endhint %}

There is a clear gap between games and gamers exploring this space, particularly as traditional gaming media, launchers, and creators remain skeptical of the overall blockchain gaming niche. This represents a great opportunity for GAM3S.GG to dominate and fill that gap, acquiring invaluable marketshare.


# The Solution: GAM3S.GG

Today, GAM3S.GG is positioned as the #1 web3 gaming platform that combines game discovery, reliable content, trustworthy reviews, an unmatched pipeline of gaming partnerships, early access, and opportunities to join the most exciting upcoming blockchain game launches.

Each of our verticals serves a specific audience & purpose to get through the noise & improve the overall web3 gaming experience for each stakeholder:

{% hint style="success" %}
**Discovery Platform**

*Curate the top games, reviews, guides, news, and analysis and drive gamers through quests & activations to the top games in the industry.*
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="success" %}
**User Acquisition**

*From in-game API-integrated quests to purposeful content distribution across socials to drive gamers to specific calls to action.*
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="success" %}
**Content Approach**

*Unbiased, collaborative, organic content with clear sponsored disclaimers whenever relevant to maintain transparency.*
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="success" %}
**Network Access**

*Early access to the top web3 gaming projects ahead of product and / or economy launch.*
{% endhint %}

This allows GAM3S.GG to leverage the growth of the overall industry and the success of web3 games, regardless of genres, platform, or hype, as an all-encompassing platform and chain-agnostic discovery and engagement destination for users to learn, interact with, and engage with blockchain games.

<figure><img src="/files/pJyjjgF4BMSwd6CgjvBo" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Each game page features a brief overview of the gameplay, game modes, lore and world setting. Each of the tabs listed below are further explained in upcoming sections.

<figure><img src="/files/JiRqhOI9CoAN5gNDNNSt" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

<figure><img src="/files/e9153gpwiSnsprSSFA6l" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>


# Reviews

<figure><img src="/files/c0yB1ABH7BAl003djs2m" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Over the past 2 years, GAM3S.GG has continued to provide insightful and unbiased assessments of the latest web3 games. The review section offers detailed, comprehensive, playable experiences, and each game is carefully evaluated and assigned a rating score on a scale of 1-10.&#x20;

The review scoring system draws inspiration from top-tier media gaming outlets, employing a rigorous approach that assesses games across six independent criteria. This ensures that reviews remain free from personal bias or arbitrary judgments, empowering our readers with a clear understanding of the quality of the gaming experiences they are about to embark upon.

The following aspects of each game title are used to evaluate and assess each individual game title:

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Graphics" %}
Evaluates the visual quality of a game, considering factors such as art style, detail, and overall aesthetic appeal. Additionally, it assesses any technical shortcomings like poor collision detection or noticeable pop-ups.
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Entertainment" %}
Assesses the sheer enjoyment and engagement factor of playing the game, which is considered the paramount criterion for evaluation. It encompasses aspects such as gameplay mechanics, storytelling, replay value, and overall immersive experience.
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Sound" %}
Evaluates the effectiveness of a game's audio elements in enhancing the overall experience. It considers factors such as the quality of music composition, sound effects, voice acting, and how well they contribute to immersion and engagement.
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Concept" %}
Evaluates the originality and innovation of the game's ideas, as well as how effectively it presents familiar concepts. It assesses whether the game introduces fresh mechanics, themes, or narratives that distinguish it from others in its genre, while also considering how it handles traditional elements to provide a unique and engaging experience for players.
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Playability" %}
Focuses on the effectiveness of the controller-to-player interaction, prioritizing seamless and intuitive gameplay experiences. It evaluates how well the game's controls facilitate player engagement, aiming for a smooth and immersive experience.
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Replay Value" %}
Gauges the extent to which a game encourages players to return for multiple playthroughs. It evaluates factors such as branching storylines, alternate endings, multiplayer modes, and randomly generated content, assessing how these elements contribute to sustained interest and enjoyment over time.
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

It is worth noting that many web3 games are currently in early stages of their development, and many of the game reviews are tagged with timestamps noting the stage at which the team was invited to (by each respective game studio) or spontaneously evaluated the game in question. Re-reviews upon further game development and follow-up stage roll outs (eg: launching a public beta after a closed beta or alpha etc.) are always a consideration.&#x20;

**Note:** GAM3S.GG has never been paid to review games to maintain integrity, the editorial team typically receives early access and reserves the right to publish unfiltered reviews. In addition, the GAM3 Awards winners (highlighted in later sections) are chosen by an expert jury and the community and are neither influenced by nor do they influence platform review scores for any titles.


# Guides

<figure><img src="/files/SSy4L469d4tGPDLKVJy9" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Guides have always been an important cornerstone of any gaming media platform, offering players an in-depth and comprehensive perspective on any web3 game from more experienced players. These guides often provide strategies, tips, walkthroughs, and advice on gameplay mechanics, character builds, quest solutions, and more, serving as invaluable tools for both beginners and seasoned players.

With hundreds of guides published to help gamers enjoy and progress in their favorite web3 games, GAM3S.GG aims to continue to deliver high-quality content to help you stay on top of your game and dominate the leaderboards. Ranging from our editorial team breakdowns to guest creators' suggestions and step by step guides, the platform offers a plethora of walkthroughs, how-tos and much more.&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/8HR43YWm847xiIs5jdrQ" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>


# News

<figure><img src="/files/qNmhvwACx59xPu23YcEU" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

A primary source for timely and exclusive news, the platform ensures you are well-informed and always in the loop on the latest happenings, trends, and announcements in the web3 gaming scene through daily press releases, studio updates, fundraising announcements, milestones and much more.


# Livestreams

<figure><img src="/files/dMHGhgjXV0J6TCqrA4pJ" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Typically with gaming, watching the actual game experience through someone's first-person content is often the best way to evaluate if a game is suitable for your taste and preferences - enter GAM3S.GG livestreaming feature.

The platform allows you to directly jump straight into any of the 350+ listed games if they are being streamed live on Twitch without leaving the platform. The live streaming sidebar list is often viewed as an indicator of a game's popularity based on the number of live viewers watching a game; moreover, users who connect their Twitch accounts to their platform user profile can directly start chatting with the creators to ask questions or opinions.

<figure><img src="/files/ZM1Ml8V4l6lRFCtPTQV3" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

In addition, any content creators with GAM3S.GG accounts that link their Twitch channels are seamlessly featured and highlighted on the streaming list to help bring further exposure and attention to their content and livestreams.

<figure><img src="/files/W24mbhMFepwEimCVm2nm" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>


# Analytics

<figure><img src="/files/PHhhWeWXb3YmTb8jHuaY" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Many are attracted to blockchain games given their financialization, others are attracted by the technological advancement potential - but as the *home of web3 gaming*, GAM3S.GG has something to offer both with the analytics feature.

The platform analytics dashboard provides users the ability to monitor key metrics of their favorite web3 gaming tokens, without disassociating the tokens from the actual ecosystems or games themselves. Users can easily track aspects such as price performance, market capitalization, trading volume, circulating supply, and maximum supply, among other relevant information with further updates yet to be announced including NFT analytics for game collectibles and more.

<figure><img src="/files/NE7pQK0F4FkTL8J9plGA" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Analytics present under each applicable game page streamline the process of staying updated on the financial and operational status of the games you are interested in.&#x20;


# Play Now

Looking to jump straight into some web3 games to test them out? Browser games might just be the perfect fit for you - and luckily, GAM3S.GG offers over 80 games playable directly on the platform.

<figure><img src="/files/rnlrM5MWaNf6Ib8QtFLj" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

The "Play Now" feature allows users to immerse themselves in their favorite web-based games directly on the platform without the need to leave, open new windows, or deal with any additional hassles. Think Miniclip, but for blockchain games.

<figure><img src="/files/OgKEZR5AGcCtSIhc4VZX" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Since the launch in 2023 Q4, this feature has seen increasing adoption, with gamers spending **over 10,000 hours** playing browser games through this "Play Now" feature. The increased organic engagement demonstrates the demand and interest, as well as the appeal in providing a hassle-free gaming experience where users can effortlessly access and enjoy their favorite browser games, all within the GAM3S.GG ecosystem.&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/tLY8vVuwNfcJSZp1jWqO" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>


# GAM3 Awards

The **GAM3 Awards** is the biggest annual web3 gaming event since its inception in 2022. The event, judged by expert jurors and the community and hosted by [GAM3S.GG](http://www.gam3s.gg/), celebrates the highest quality web3 games, rewarding innovation and creativity at the intersection of blockchain and consumer entertainment.&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/sn6aTkPHRl39UCo4jQFz" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

The annual event brings together jurors from the web3 and traditional gaming industry, including top executives from Amazon, Google, Samsung, Xbox, ImmutableX, BNB Chain, Avalanche, Solana, Polygon, as well as the top media and content creators coming together to decide the top game titles across the period of two months through a comprehensive nomination & voting process.&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/N8Vd4f9WqxJ3L7CjSN6k" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

While category winners are decided 90% by the jurors, the overall web3 gaming community also gets a say with 10% voting power across most award categories, and certain categories such as "People's Choice" and "Best Content Creator" which are 100% community-based. Moreover, game developers are also polled exclusively to decide their favorite game title to decide the "Games' Choice" award.

<figure><img src="/files/GuxzEYgM1oSVuqQnVfxd" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

2023's GAM3 Awards ceremony saw one of the highest viewership and engagement metrics across the web3 gaming space with over 450k+ votes for the finalists and a peak viewership of 36k+ CCV and an average of 12k+ viewers throughout the entire show across Twitch alone. Overall, over 50k+ viewers tuned in live across all livestreaming platforms with the event reaching over 250k+ views in the first 24 hours alone on the saved VODs.

In two consecutive years, the event has brought together some of the biggest partners and brands across the gaming industry and featured renowned names such as Justin Kan (Twitch co-founder) and Yoshihisa Hashimoto (ex-Square Enix CTO and director of Sonic and Final Fantasy games) as guest speakers and judges.&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/3NZnJCrz4u3l0TiqI0Pd" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Moving forward, the event is set to continue headlining each year with ambitions to grow by all metrics and continue to spotlight the top games and standout individuals, dubbed "GAM3 Changers" nominated by their own game development studios - as a reflection on how far the space has progressed between award editions.


# User Profiles

Each user on GAM3S.GG has a unique user profile. From achievements to daily activities and favorite games, no two gamers are exactly the same, and that is evident in the platform.&#x20;

From the point of account creation to level progression, our platform algorithm constantly evaluates each user profile, past gaming progression using Steam or Epic Games, platform activity and on-chain footprint to help profile each user and personalize individual experiences through game recommendations & additional future features.

<figure><img src="/files/tzK4z2ykWk9sgYU0BdrL" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Each user is prompted to use their signup method of choice ranging from social platforms to web3 wallet connects - with the flexibility to add/remove additional social accounts down the line. Moreover, each user can clearly see their platform ranking and necessary XP to acquire in order to level up, gamifying the entire exploration process and motivating each user to discover more games, complete quests and play around the platform.

<figure><img src="/files/LFqqQlEvL0IocxQ4LxrV" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

But - user profiles play a much more core role in the platform's growth and development as they evolve into gaming passports and represent each user's game identity (G3 ID). To further understand this platform vertical, here's a closer look at each feature:

{% content-ref url="/pages/nMdAOdQjxR6zIQEyjUlR" %}
[Achievements](/product/gam3s.gg-platform/user-profiles/achievements)
{% endcontent-ref %}

{% content-ref url="/pages/9LEDUPmrBLBESuyl4zv8" %}
[Inventory](/product/gam3s.gg-platform/user-profiles/inventory)
{% endcontent-ref %}

{% content-ref url="/pages/O24cSp3Ool2DfEnQ8YUc" %}
[Identity / Gamertag](/product/gam3s.gg-platform/user-profiles/identity-gamertag)
{% endcontent-ref %}


# Achievements

Achievements on GAM3S.GG are both used to gamify the overall experience by rewarding engagement and participation, but also as a segmentation method based on interest and level of involvement on the backend for each user profile. Users can acquire achievement badges based on the following activities:

<figure><img src="/files/DA4rXglOgZA9PmYjOrXl" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

* Connecting social accounts
* Completing Quests
* Using new platform features
* Participating in specific events
* Reaching higher ranks&#x20;

On the backend, these same achievement badges are used to segment, group and filter specific users based on the type of platform features they interact with, the nature of games they interact with, and their overall engagement and participation score - which helps guide platform development decisions and overall experience improvement.

<figure><img src="/files/1vmT94S2dHVq3T5Y1WQl" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>


# Inventory

User profiles also feature an inventory system on GAM3S.GG, which offers a streamlined hub for managing and exploring gaming assets collected across various games and networks, activations, and quests.

<figure><img src="/files/G4Op7fSFY58loN1FgLWJ" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Each user platform inventory is open-access for other users to explore but, this information also represents incredible intel on the backend to understand which gaming collections users hold which helps guide future quest and partnership decisions to bring as much value to platform users.


# Identity / Gamertag

<figure><img src="/files/ZVzDEqb6TTT37VOgTlj4" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Each individual GAM3S.GG profile is designed to evolve into a unique gaming passport which will serve as the gaming identity of said user recognized as their gamertag. Each identity is curated based on each user's connected social accounts, past gaming accolades and progression, on-chain footprint, in addition to their platform achievements, inventory, rank and activity.&#x20;

These identities encapsulate each user's entire gaming history across multiple games and platforms. This allows GAM3S.GG combines user on-chain activity and in-game actions to build a reputational score that unlocks opportunities across partner games.

Your G3 ID will act as your passport across the entire web3 gaming space, regardless of games, platforms or blockchains - and advancing your profile on GAM3S.GG is the way to progress and build up your identity.&#x20;

Imagine the ability to flex your CS:GO achievements, verify you're a top FPS player and get early access to new web3 shooting games such as Shrapnel. Imagine being sourced as a qualified early-tester for a new game based on how many hours you've sunk into games in the same genre in the past. And even better, imagine being able to combine all your gaming achievements across platforms, consoles, traditional and web3 games and being able to flex that in one unified gaming profile - *that* is the opportunity user profiles have as they evolve over the next few months.&#x20;


# GAM3 Quests

<figure><img src="/files/hLtnLGx9NYkP9mGA6Nlp" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

In 2023, we introduced our Quests feature, marking a significant milestone in our journey to revolutionize the web3 gaming landscape. This feature encompasses three fundamental verticals to help connect gamers directly to game titles:&#x20;

* Social missions
* On-chain mission
* in-game missions

Meticulously verified through custom APIs, we have empowered web3 games to engage their existing player base and attract new players, proving time and time again the efficiency of our streamlined process and the true impact of our user acquisition funnel for game studios.&#x20;

Gamers are enticed to participate in quests and complete missions in exchange for on-chain and off-chain rewards offered by the games in question. Over the past ten months since launch, we've distributed everything from game access codes to NFTs, achievement badges, reputational soulbound tokens, and countless XP for engaged users.

Contrary to the widely available quest platform options, our system is much more gaming-centric and allows us to tap into past player progression through our Steam, Epic Games and Battlenet API integrations, for example, to validate that a user has played a specific game genre, completed certain missions, or has spent a certain number of hours playing particular games.

This, in turn, has allowed us to qualify and validate the quality of gamers we funnel towards partners with recent campaign successes showcasing our system's resilience and analytical advantages - for eg, we validated 7,000 gamers that had a minimum of 50 hours of FPS playtime on Steam before funnelling them towards Shrapnel's STX weekend, which resulted in a high conversion rate and additional extraction pack purchases beyond the ones claimed as rewards.

Our dedication to enhancing the gaming experience has already borne remarkable results. With **over 200 unique quests** and the distribution of **more than 450,000 NFTs**, our quest feature has attracted a vibrant community of **over 500,000 unique participants.** These dedicated gamers have collectively completed an astounding **20M+ missions**, underlining our Quests feature's success and adoption. GAM3S.GG is committed to continually providing exciting and rewarding gaming experiences, solidifying our position as a leader in the web3 gaming arena.

To understand the potential of each vertical and how GAM3S.GG quests are structured; kindly refer to the following sections, which break things down further.&#x20;


# Social Missions

<figure><img src="/files/QphAc6KUgr0mdYUBMvTB" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Social missions are those linked to social platforms such as X (Twitter), Discord, Twitch, YouTube or TikTok.&#x20;

These missions encourage community engagement and social channel amplification across our partners. Tasks include following an account on X, sharing or liking an announcement, tweeting with preset text about the game, joining a Discord server and obtaining a specific role, watching a YouTube video, or following a Twitch channel.&#x20;

By completing these tasks, which are considered the lowest in terms of gating and effort required, users contribute to the social engagement and social traffic of the game partner in question.

In addition, if a game is looking for additional exposure and overall brand awareness, we can direct gamers to read their game overview page, review, guides or any pre-existing GAM3S.GG content to further educate and inform them about the game in question.&#x20;


# On-Chain Missions

On-chain missions are those linked to on-chain tasks, such as holding certain NFTs or tokens, or interacting with certain game smart contracts in your connected wallet to validate users' on-chain activity and behaviour.

Our system can verify if you hold any NFTs in your wallet supporting ERC-20, ERC-1155 and ERC-721 tokens.&#x20;

This means that your ownership of specific in-game assets can be confirmed on-chain, granting you access to exclusive missions and rewards for specific holders. This, in turn, allows us to gate certain quests to cater only to specific loyal community members or segments that the game chooses to spotlight and reward rather than being open to the general public.

Additionally, we can verify in-game actions across all on-chain web3 games. Whether it's completing quests, achieving milestones, or participating in events, our platform can track your progress and validate your accomplishments through checking users' wallet interactions with the web3 game's contracts on the blockchain. This opens up a world of possibilities for on-chain missions, allowing you to earn rewards and recognition for your in-game achievements like never before.


# Integrated-API Missions

<figure><img src="/files/t0o1EeY4mYAFN7ac8b6L" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Our in-game missions truly set our Quest system apart and enable us to drive real, verified, quality players to your game.&#x20;

Our custom API integrations allow us to track any in-game action agreed upon with a web3 game to highlight and funnel gamers towards that specific game activity, from kills and the number of games to completing particular missions or even trying out a new mode.

In addition, we have also integrated popular gaming platform APIs to plug into past gaming progression and reward gamers for their accumulated gaming hours and achievements across Steam, Epic Games, Battlenet and several more platforms in the pipeline.

Our API-based system allows us to verify if a gamer has a certain number of hours or achievements in games across each of the previously mentioned platforms. Access to genre or game-specific achievements and playing time allows us to truly segment our user base and categorize users based on preferences, hours played, and overall achievement scores. It further enables us to send verified gamers to web3 game partners that tend to convert and stick around for much longer rather than disinterested or completely disconnected users looking to farm quests or missions for rewards.

Our system also allows a hybrid of missions set up within the same quest, allowing us to grow a partner's social presence, integrate a direct in-game API mission, and validate past player progression across Steam, all within the same quest campaign.

From confirming players have 50+ hours of Counter-Strike to validating their World of Warcraft accounts; our integrated API missions create endless possibilities to segment, target and reward gamers based on what each game partner is looking for.

# Seasonal Battle Pass

<figure><img src="/files/8z0HvgnbS724SjHTYQW6" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Get ready to level up your gaming experience with our upcoming Battlepass feature.&#x20;

Familiar to gamers, the Battlepass introduces free and premium tiers that can be unlocked by earning XP through various platform activities. It's a gamification element that adds a new layer of excitement to your journey on GAM3S.GG while you accumulate XP and climb through the ranks.

The GAM3S.GG Battlepass will offer various rewards across its tiers, including exclusive web3 gaming NFTs, with partner NFTs available for both free and premium holders (with higher availability for premium).&#x20;

Both Free and Premium tiers also grant access to SBTs (for completing the battlepass), XP boosts, achievements, and profile cosmetics such as banners, tags, and borders to show off your progress and status within the gaming community.

While quests remain the bread and better of XP accumulation alongside other platform features, the battlepass system is designed to engage platform users further and grant access to exclusive rewards and highly sought prizes across several gaming partners to drive attention to their titles, while rewarding our users for engaging and interacting with the platform.

Purchasing the battlepass (and potentially skipping levels) will be available using $G3.


# Gamer Identity (G3 ID)

Over the past 2 years, we've managed to study and segment our users based on both off-chain and on-chain interaction across their platform behaviour and connected profiles, including Steam, Epic Games and Battlenet profiles. This, in addition to their on-chain footprint, coupled with overall platform XP and social score through Discord / X, allows us to create an identity for each user to help both personalize their web3 gaming experience and categorize them to understand better which game titles are most likely to succeed with or receive an appeal from which users.

Consequently, this also means that we can allow our users to flex their identity and achievements across all supported gaming platforms, on-chain data and platform activity to further validate their value to web3 games in potentially onboarding, incentivizing and rewarding, giving early access and rewards to high-quality gamers depending on which metric is being assessed.

To simplify things further, imagine being able to validate that you are indeed a great FPS player in a game like Shrapnel through your G3 ID, earning a spot in their early playtests, a role that brings you closer to the development team for QA and feedback, and rewards for being one of their earliest players and supporters. Now, imagine that across every web3 game ever released and beyond.

That, is what our gamer identity layer can make possible - validating past player progression and present activity to help you stand out, flex your gaming history and get ahead of the rest because of the time and effort you've put into playing video games.

But that's only scratching the surface - our Gamer Identity layer is designed to function in an interoperable manner across different games and blockchains, which could revolutionize the way you interact with web3 games moving forward. Once implemented, it will serve as a unified login system across web3 games, tracking and recording your in-game progress on-chain, updating in real-time, validating your gaming score and allowing game studios to identify you as a high-quality value-add to their player base much faster than ever before.&#x20;

In addition to giving you bragging rights for your achievements and ungodly hours spent playing your favorite games, the identity layer would also streamline the onboarding process for gamers across web3 games, allowing developers to pull the necessary account setup information such as gamertag, social accounts and preferred wallets to help save you the time wasted creating endless accounts across 100s of new web3 games launching every year.

In summary, your G3 ID (feature name TBC) will act as your passport across the entire web3 gaming space, allowing you to use it freely to track your progress and watch as it dynamically changes and evolves as you play more games and collect more achievements.&#x20;


# Tournaments

<figure><img src="/files/QZmGtglpKlGwuxlBIdB7" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

GAM3S.GG empowers both games and players with our tournament feature. Through this feature, gamers can effortlessly jump straight into any live or upcoming tournaments for their favorite games, signing up using their platform identity through both free-to-join and paid-entry tournaments using $G3.

Game partners, in return, can set up, organize, and manage tournaments for their games while benefiting from instant rewards distribution through blockchain technology. They will also benefit from our growing and highly targeted gaming userbase.&#x20;

With over 5+ years of global gaming tournament organizing experience within the team, GAM3S.GG promises to offer all the tools and customization needed to set up tournaments that support all sizes, from grass-roots to international and regional contests.&#x20;

Users will be able to benefit from easy sign-up procedures, API-integrated matchmaking and score reporting systems, and instant reward distribution and prize pool claiming features without dealing with the hurdles of manual tournament management that ruin the competitive gaming experience.

On the other hand, game studios and partners can benefit from having the perfect marketing venue for their competitions, leveraging our platform userbase and features to streamline tournament registration, player communication, matchmaking setup, result tracking and reward distribution - removing much of the technical burden and allowing teams to focus on developing their games and their own marketing efforts. To gain access to the feature, partners will need to stake and lock $G3 to gain the tournament admin rights and navigate through onboarding and benefit from our team follow up and support.

In addition to standard tournaments in bracket or elimination formats, our leaderboard system allows us to create XP leaderboard based tournaments to engage and mobilize our users and reward them for their activity through either GAM3S.GG specific rewards or partner incentives.


# Gaming Marketplace

No, we're not trying to compete with OpenSea or Magic Eden.

The simple fact is that NFT marketplaces are terrible for gamers—particularly new ones entering the space. Be it the lack of curation, the countless fake collections, or the overall focus on assets rather than the project/game in question, the gaming marketplace aspect within our space has some hurdles.

As a solution, we've decided to launch our gaming-centric NFT Marketplace aggregator, where you can access verified listings from various existing marketplaces, all within the same game page on our platform.&#x20;

Instead of scavenging marketplaces searching for any collections related to your favourite game, this new feature will allow you to scroll through any game page on our platform - reach the collectables section and directly trade those assets, all without leaving your favourite web3 gaming platform.

Our feature will aggregate verified listings, confirmed with partner games, and showcase them under each game page. It will ensure you make informed purchases and find the best deals across all active listings within seconds to explore and collect unique gaming collectables with confidence and ease.

Have you found a game you'd like to try but need an early access pass NFT? You can purchase it directly on the game page on GAM3S.GG.

Did you fall in love with a web3 game you found on our platform? Get a cool skin to make it official directly on the platform.

The scenarios and options are endless, but the facts remain - with more information about the games, their actual product, access to livestreams of other players currently playing the game. With all the additional information you can find on our game pages, gamers can make much more informed decisions and spend far less time researching projects and checking socials while trying to trade collectables.


# G3 AI

<figure><img src="/files/DbBlZj89S0daASQrCSqg" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

GAM3S.GG is developing G3 AI, the infrastructure integrating artificial intelligence with web3 gaming, and has released its roadmap to advance player experiences. Following the introduction of GAM3R AI last year, GAM3S.GG is expanding its focus to include enhanced interactivity, in-game AI capabilities, and blockchain-based game development tools in its infrastructure.&#x20;

The roadmap consists of four phases, each addressing a key aspect of innovation at the intersection of AI, gaming, and blockchain technology - and will be built around the $G3 token, as an added utility set to grant access to gaming-specific AI capabilities & functionalities.

**Introducing GAM3R**

GAM3R, launched in December 2024, is an AI-powered gaming assistant initially available on X and Telegram powered by Virtuals and PAAL AI. It provides users with gaming insights, tips, strategies, and updates. It serves as a resource for players or curious bystanders looking to learn more about web3 gaming by asking questions and interacting with the agent directly on these social platforms.&#x20;

Unlike other agents, GAM3R doesn’t only have access to the X timeline and standard internet search; it can also access three years of Web3 gaming data and content through the GAM3S.GG database and leverage custom crypto market insights using custom APIs.

This allows the agent to provide great insights and context in a simple conversational flow - which several X users have already jumped to experiment with - asking about token prices in real-time, opinions on different gaming chains and much more in recent weeks.

**G3 AI Terminal**

The next step in the roadmap introduces GAM3R directly to the GAM3S.GG platform through its dedicated terminal. Similar to the familiar ChatGPT experience, platform visitors will be able to interact directly with the AI agent, ask questions, and interact with a 3D model of the agent - which represents the organization’s IP from the GAM3RS NFT collection that has been integrated into 50+ web3 game titles since it’s launch in March 2024 on Magic Eden.&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/Be4PciLC2nr9xl1prjx0" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

In addition to providing a unique personalized experience for each user - answering their questions and guiding them through navigating web3 gaming - the terminal will also allow users to learn & converse with the AI agent in their native language in both text and voice formats.

**Gaming Integrations**

G3 AI’s following steps are perhaps the most exciting, and unique of them all:

* Screen-reading capabilities allow AI agent to analyze browser games during play
* Direct blockchain capabilities allow AI agent to interact with wallets & assets
* NPC integrations allow GAM3R to exist as a sentient NPC in different games
* Direct game integrations allow GAM3R to play games itself directly

Each milestone introduces unparalleled depth and exciting possibilities to the gaming space, be it through an intelligent co-pilot capable of providing actionable insights or a sentient agent capable of going toe to toe with the best players in any web3 game title.

**Game & Agent Creation**

The final phase of the roadmap shifts the focus to players as creators, empowering anyone to design their own AI gaming agents or entire games using G3 AI and the infrastructure behind it.&#x20;

This approach allows game developers and players to leverage G3 AI to do the following:

1. **Custom AI Agents**: Allows developers & players to design and train their own personalized gaming AI agents acting as social agents, co-pilots or NPCs
2. **Game and Asset Generation**: Simplify the creation of game levels, assets, and environments through intuitive prompts, making game development accessible to all
3. **Blockchain Integration**: Tokenize game designs and AI agents, enabling players to own, trade, and authenticate their AI-powered creations in the web3 ecosystem

This step breaks down barriers to AI accessibility, agent creation, and game design, ensuring that anyone—from casual gamers to seasoned developers—can actively play an active role in shaping the future of web3 gaming using AI.

\[REDACTED - COMING SOON]


# Ecosystem Utility

$G3 was designed to fuel the entire GAM3S.GG ecosystem ranges from existing features to the upcoming ones and future ones beyond. To simplify how we view the overall token utility and overall functionality, you can view it in four different utility categories:

<table><thead><tr><th width="218">Utility</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Stake</strong> for Rights</td><td>Holders can stake $G3 tokens for specific platform rights, which provide exclusive feature access within the platform. </td></tr><tr><td><strong>Redeem</strong> for Rewards</td><td>Holders can use $G3 tokens to acquire seasonal premium battle passes and unlock greater rewards from the best games across the ecosystem. </td></tr><tr><td><strong>Engage</strong> with the Platform</td><td>Holders use the $G3 token to transact with the platform, such as participating in tournaments and trading on the marketplace. </td></tr><tr><td><strong>Govern</strong> the Platform</td><td>Holders will be able to decide on the asset makeup of the rewards warchest, and influence feature decisions, ultimately shaping the platform's future using their $G3 tokens.</td></tr></tbody></table>

Each of these utilities plays an important role, with additional utility and utilization opportunities scheduled to roll out over the next few years as the platform continues to evolve and develop.&#x20;

To further understand each of the utilities, kindly refer to the following subsections.


# Staking Rights

Stakers can earn rights that distinguish users, grant them additional rights, and further augment their profiles and platform access to exclusive and public features.&#x20;

GAM3S.GG continues to aspire to grow as an all-in-one platform, which naturally means targeting users with different interests and preferences. Some users might be solely interested in discovering new games and keeping up with industry news. Others might be looking for more engaging quests and collecting rewards and XP to climb leaderboards. Similarly, other users might be scouting the analytics page and looking for trading opportunities across gaming projects. \[REDACTED]

Hence, utilizing "badges" or "rights" through staking $G3 tokens can allow us to personalize the platform experience depending on each user, allowing them to explore the features they're interested in far more deeply.&#x20;

Badges, or rights, are retained for as long as users’ tokens remain staked. With more features and, therefore, more specialized access over time, users can switch based on varying preferences while still preserving long-term alignment with platform growth. In addition, staking is not only targetted towards individual users - game studios and partners looking to leverage our infrastructure across quests, gaming identity layer, tournaments, \[REDACTED] and beyond will also be granted respective rights based on $G3 tokens staked and threshold requirements.


# Redeem Rewards

Expanding on the Seasonal Battle Pass, a subscription-based pass designed to incentivize users to consistently engage with the platform and accumulate XP to unlock levels and win rewards across the top web3 game titles, $G3 holders can use their tokens to redeem rewards and access more exciting opportunities across partnerships with the top gaming titles.&#x20;

Platform interactions designed to contribute to XP accrual will consequently improve and increase potential opportunities to gain these rewards through the battle pass system, amongst other functionalities, including content consumption, content creation, event attendance, and more.&#x20;

This Battle Pass operates as an upgraded tier system, distinct from the standard, free platform Battle Pass available to all users, and stores progression and unlocked levels directly on the platform for users to access, flex and redeem rewards seamlessly.&#x20;

While we continue to prioritize the free and open experience for all users, individuals who choose to upgrade their battle pass to the premium version by using $G3 tokens can access exclusive rewards locked for free pass holders.

In addition, to reward and incentivize healthy behaviour and activity, gamers who complete their battle pass will be eligible to claim the following season pass for free - i.e., the first incurred cost may not be incurred once again for future battle pass seasons if the user completes all the battle pass levels.

While exact pricing and details will be shared closer to launch, users can expect similar features and unique access to $G3 holders, stakers and spenders looking to get the most out of the GAM3S.GG ecosystem.


# Platform Engagement

The $G3 token is also designed to transact with the platform and engage with different features such as participating in tournaments and trading on the marketplace and more.

For the purpose of this explanation, we will take a closer look at both the tournaments and marketplace scenario below:

## Tournaments

Users looking to join tournaments might be faced with two different options upfront: either joining free-to-enter tournaments, which would be solely sponsored by GAM3S.GG or the partner game, or spending an entry fee to join a co-sponsored quick tournament that invites gamers to compete head-to-head and share a share of the overall prize pool resulting from the total number of players involved.

For example, a gamer might spend $5 to enter a tournament for their favourite game. There would be 100 players in total, each contributing the same amount, resulting in a $500 prize pool (before standard platform fees) that can be split between either the sole winner or the top 3 players at the end.

Similarly, tournaments might be designed to charge a team fee upfront, resulting in potentially larger prize pools healthily and sustainably. In addition, GAM3S.GG might increase the prize pool allocation to incentivize further engagement and help co-sponsor and grow the competitive scene across specific game titles.&#x20;

## Marketplace

Users that wish to directly trade assets and collectibles across different titles on GAM3S.GG might be faced with the option of spending either stablecoins/eth or $G3 tokens - with the latter resulting in less platform fees while still offering that improved and refined level of curation and optimized user experience.&#x20;

Our entire marketplace feature structure is designed to improve discovery and improved decision-making, coupled with an overall enhanced user experience that allows traders and collectors alike to seamlessly own and trade assets across their favourite game titles.&#x20;

While the initial launch might enforce $G3 payments at first, the vision for this feature is to truly remove any barriers and allow users to transact as they wish to - meaning $G3 will then be positioned as a value-add through lower platform fees on each transaction.

In either of these features and scenarios, amongst many others, $G3 will be positioned at the center of each functionality, truly serving as the ecosystem token fueling the entire platform.


# Governance

With the introduction of our rewards warchest, governance assumes a much more defined role.&#x20;

We foresee governance as an important aspect of aligning our mission, community, and holders even further and allowing users to have an important say in platform feature decisions and reward pool accumulation.

Over time, this governance might become permissionless, enabling greater user participation across the board. Our warchest represents a collective pool of gaming rewards accrued through partnerships and initiatives, redeemable by platform users through various activities and platform features.&#x20;

In the short term, the warchest will aggregate rewards and maintain transparency regarding their availability and value. In the long run, it aims to provide a liquid basket of gaming goods for the entire gaming community, managed by and for the community, distributed throughout the different features and functionalities that GAM3S.GG provides.

The warchest's initial funding priorities include diversification, maximizing assets from various high-potential games, and ensuring the assets are valuable and desirable to users. Strategies for bootstrapping the treasury involve leveraging partners, subsidizing existing rewards, and making direct purchases, each with specific advantages and considerations.

The distribution of warchest contents occurs primarily through rewards accrual, such as through the Battle Pass, quests, or tournaments. In addition, G3 loot boxes, not previously discussed (but currently undergoing further planning), will provide randomized rewards, ensuring transparency and an element of randomness and luck that gamers are familiar with.&#x20;

# Airdrop

<figure><img src="/files/mhuz4sMEyDneUwOxDnOn" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Our upcoming airdrop expresses our appreciation for the dedicated community that has been part of our journey over the past two years as we built the home of web3 gaming at GAM3S.GG together.

Keeping in mind both our early supporters and future ecosystem participants, we’ve decided to split our total airdrop allocation into three different phases. There are 50,000,000 tokens (5% of the total token supply) allocated towards our airdrop, split across each different phase.&#x20;

Airdrop phase one will be allocated 15,000,000 tokens, fully unlocked without additional vesting on the day of listing, and will take into account several factors including your rank on the GAM3S.GG platform, our GAM3RS NFT holders, your [$POLS](https://polkastarter.com/) holdings, and highly valued partners within our ecosystem. Further details on each criterion are listed below.

The remaining 35,000,000 tokens will be unlocked across the upcoming two phases, and further information will be communicated later about each phase's rollout.

Please note: multiple phase one airdrop snapshots have been previously taken, and future ones will not be announced in advance, any actions beyond those snapshots will not count towards your $G3 airdrop eligibility for phase one.&#x20;

## $G3 Airdrop Distribution

This full distribution will be divided into three phases to reward our users and early supporters, and align incentives around upcoming exciting feature launches within our roadmap.

* **Phase 1**: Assigned 15,000,000 tokens fully unlocked at launch, the first phase will commence on the day the $G3 token listing and will include retroactive rewards for those who have been part of our journey from the very beginning, as well as existing users. This phase aims to recognize and appreciate the early supporters contributing to our growth and success.
* **Phase 2 & 3**: The exact token breakdown between the following phases and the timings for each will be revealed at a later date. Each of these phases will coincide with major platform feature launches. Stay tuned for further updates and announcements regarding future airdrops and key dates.

Through these phased distributions, we aim to create a rewarding and inclusive airdrop program that rewards early adopters and active participants while also building excitement and momentum for the future of GAM3S.GG across upcoming features and launches.

## Phase One: Understanding Eligibility Criteria

Users can check their phase one eligibility directly on our airdrop [eligibility checker here](https://gam3s.gg/airdrop/)

Here's a breakdown of each of the criteria for the first phase:

### GAM3S.GG Users

From day one, XP and ranks were an essential part of our platform. Climbing the leaderboard and ranks helps us identify our most active and engaged platform members. Only users within the following tiers are eligible, with an increase in allocation size planned in the following ascending order:

* Iron
* Bronze
* Silver
* Gold
* Diamond

Please note that the Wood tier (lowest rank) will not be eligible for the upcoming airdrop. This is to prevent Sybil attacks and ensure healthy competition among our users.&#x20;

### GAM3RS NFT

Our [333 GAM3RS NFT collection](https://gam3s.gg/gam3rs-nft/)  Magic Eden will also be included in our upcoming airdrops starting with phase one. The free mint went live on 29 March on Magic Eden and holders at a particular snapshot (unannounced) will also be eligible to claim an airdrop allocation with **each NFT** receiving an equal airdrop even while present within the same wallet.

### Polkastarter $POLS

GAM3S.GG has evolved and grown from the Polkastarter community, therefore, holders of Polkastarter's $POLS token will be included in our phase one for the airdrop. If you hold $POLS and fall between the specified tiers from 1,000 to 50,000 $POLS, you’re eligible for the upcoming $G3 token airdrop powering the GAM3S.GG ecosystem. More info can be found [here](https://blog.polkastarter.com/airdrop-announcement-g3/).

### Partners

With time, we have managed to forge formidable, solid relationships and partnerships with top web3 gaming titles, ecosystems, and communities that have helped us build the home of web3 gaming.&#x20;

Therefore, we’ve decided to include select partner communities that have played pivotal roles in advancing web3 gaming alongside us. Keep an eye out for further details on our official channels for partnership announcements.

If you qualify for multiple criteria, you will be eligible to claim the total airdrop amount across all your verified criteria, e.g., a GAM3RS NFT holder and Silver Rank user will be eligible for a combination of both allocations.&#x20;

In addition, if you have multiple wallets that might be eligible for different reasons, kindly note that you will be able to connect and check your eligibility for each wallet and claim separately.&#x20;

It is also important to note that all rewards will have a **one-month claim window** from the token launch, after which unclaimed rewards will be redistributed for the later airdrop phases.


# Competitive Advantage

## Quality of Content

At GAM3S.GG, we set ourselves apart through the exceptional quality of our content. We focus intensely on curating a gaming experience that's not just vast but of the highest calibre. Each game listed on our platform is meticulously selected to ensure it meets our stringent standards for engagement, entertainment, and user satisfaction.&#x20;

Also, our reviews follow a rubric system to ensure none of the scores we attribute are arbitrary and give a fair and transparent evaluation mechanism of the Web3 games we play. Moreover, our guides are written only by experts on the games to ensure they are informative and educational, benefiting our users and walking them through the latest Web3 games.

## Organic Growth Through SEO & SMM Expertise

Our deep understanding and application of SEO fuel our growth at GAM3S.GG. Unlike others who may rely heavily on paid marketing, we've honed our SEO skills to grow our platform's readership organically. This approach has not only expanded our user base but also ensured that our community is made up of genuinely interested, engaged gamers. This organic growth strategy has been pivotal in establishing a solid and sustainable user base - and as the space continues to grow and evolve, new gamers will flood to their search engines and find us at the forefront of everything web3 gaming.

## Strategic Industry Connections

Our network within the web3 gaming space is a key differentiator. Over the past 2 years, we cultivated valuable connections with top-tier games and blockchain chains, including Polygon, Immutable X, Ronin, and Gala Games, among others. These connections allow us to offer exclusive content and opportunities.&#x20;

These relationships keep us at the forefront of the industry, ensuring we're always one step ahead regarding innovation and offerings. This network is not just a resource; it's a strategic asset that enables us to deliver unique experiences to our users.

## GAM3 Awards

As mentioned earlier, the [**GAM3 Awards**](/product/gam3s.gg-platform/content-and-discovery/gam3-awards) has been the biggest annual web3 gaming event since its inception in 2022. The event, judged by expert jurors and the community and hosted by GAM3S.GG, celebrates the highest-quality web3 games, rewarding innovation and creativity at the intersection of blockchain and consumer entertainment.&#x20;

The annual event brings together jurors from the web3 and traditional gaming industry, including top executives from Amazon, Google, Samsung, Xbox, ImmutableX, BNB Chain, Avalanche, Solana, Polygon, as well as the top media and content creators coming together to decide the top game titles across the period of two months through a comprehensive nomination & voting process.&#x20;

2023's GAM3 Awards ceremony saw one of the highest viewership and engagement metrics across the web3 gaming space with over 450k+ votes for the finalists and a peak viewership of 36k+ CCV and an average of 12k+ viewers throughout the entire show across Twitch alone. Overall, over 50k+ viewers tuned in live across all livestreaming platforms with the event reaching over 250k+ views in the first 24 hours alone on the saved VODs.

In two consecutive years, the event has brought together some of the biggest partners and brands across the gaming industry and featured renowned names such as Justin Kan (Twitch co-founder) and Yoshihisa Hashimoto (ex-Square Enix CTO and director of Sonic and Final Fantasy games) as guest speakers and judges. This, in turn, positions us at the forefront of the web3 gaming space as the defacto awards show celebrating and spotlighting the top titles and developers annually.

## Value-Driven Activations and Campaigns

In 2023, we demonstrated our commitment to our community by giving away over $300K in prizes through our quests, excluding the GAM3 Awards, which saw even more rewards over the course of the last 2 months of the year. This focus on delivering value back to our users and games is central to our ethos and continuing to reward early adopters.&#x20;

Beyond monetary values, our activations and campaigns are designed not just for engagement but to create a tangible, rewarding experience for our community. Gamers often try new games for the first time after receiving an access pass or an NFT through our quests and campaigns - a key highlight given the nature of our mission and overall direction to spotlight and amplify web3 games in the space. This approach has helped us build a platform that's not just a gaming site but a thriving ecosystem where users and game developers find value and opportunity.
