Play awesome Games, Earn, and Trade! {% endhint %} Gaming is a *$246 Billion industry* with a fast year-to-year growth outpacing other entertainment sectors. However, the gaming industry has long been plagued by inefficiencies when it comes to their in-game economies, while Web3 games have been slow to adapt experiences similar to Web2 games. There are several major inefficiencies that the Plays Ecosystem wishes to address. 1. **Web3 capabilities remain underutilized:** The full potential of Web3 capabilities remains largely untapped. Within Web3 gaming, there's a growing trend where developers repackage Web2 games as Web3 without fully harnessing the blockchain's capabilities. These games usually target gaming niches where the advantages of Blockchain provide lower added value to the product. These games ride the wave of the Web3 hype without providing any long-term value to users or investors. ![](https://3591916589-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FllMdQqZ5JOzOnhKTRpYk%2Fuploads%2FAZIZyba4fUvwRyO0Zzlu%2F20x20.png?alt=media\&token=e5ebdea1-18a1-4c06-870e-cee597c51762) **PlaysRare emphasizes games that prioritize collecting and item rarity, such as Gacha Games, Monster Collector Games, Card Games, Autobattlers, RPG Games, and others. Moreover, Web3 assets and tokens should be entirely cross-game across the ecosystem. Eliminating trapped value and maximizing item value is the primary focus when designing the economies of games within the Plays Ecosystem. Concepts such as hard ownership, interoperability, cross-game assets, rarities, and collecting should define a Web3 gaming ecosystem.** ***Hard Ownership** refers to the absolute ownership of digital assets by players, facilitated by blockchain technology. Unlike traditional games where items, characters, or any in-game assets remain under the control of the game's developers or publishers, hard ownership ensures that players have real, transferable ownership of their digital assets. This is implemented through Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) or other blockchain-based assets that the players can sell, trade, or keep. Hard ownership is the solution to Trapped Value. **Cross-game** means that assets from one game can be used in another, thanks to the shared standards and infrastructure of the ecosystem. This allows for a more connected and dynamic gaming ecosystem where, for example, a character or item from one game could be utilized in a different game, opening up unique cross-game experiences and value. **Rarities** in Web3 gaming mean items or characters are scarce and hard to obtain. However, the distinction in Web3 gaming is that the rarity and uniqueness of these assets are verifiably encoded on the blockchain, providing transparent proof of the rarity and ensuring that the digital asset is genuinely limited in quantity, which can affect its value and desirability. **Collecting** takes on a new level with the integration of blockchain. It's not just about gathering items within a game for personal achievement or game progression; itโ€™s about building a collection of digital assets that hold real-world value. These collections can serve various purposes, from personal satisfaction to investment and trading on the PlaysRare Marketplace, making collecting a more integral and potentially rewarding part of the gaming experience.* *** 2. **Inefficiencies in gas fees in Web3 gaming:** Inefficiencies in gas fees in Web3 gaming persist due to the trade-off between gas prices and spam in a permissionsless blockchain. High gas prices discourage spam, but it can also make creating some applications prohibitively expensive, or have to move much of the computation and data storage off-chain. These inefficiencies are compounded by network congestion, fluctuating gas prices, scalability limitations, protocol inefficiencies, and the demand for decentralized applications (dApps) competing for limited block space. As a result, players and developers alike encounter elevated transaction costs, and delays in processing times, hindering the seamless and cost-effective exchange of virtual assets within Web3 gaming ecosystems. 3. **Low-security environments:** Most gaming projects and blockchains prioritize achieving high performance by compromising their security model by using more centralized blockchains or blockchains with poor security guarantees (PoS with low TVL). This trade-off often involves sacrificing security in favor of optimizing speed and efficiency. These systems may be using blockchains with a fraction of the security that Ethereum offers, which we believe has the ultimate security model for a smart contract blockchain. High TVL is usually a part of generalised blockchains such as Arbitrum or Ethereum and TVL is usually lower on highly specialized gaming blockchains. 4. **No account abstraction:** Most blockchain games require users to possess a Web3 wallet and cover gas fees, indicating a lack of Dapp abstraction. Ideally, users should engage with games without realizing they're operating within a Web3 environment, yet still reaping the benefits like asset ownership, provable outcomes, and security. Achieving seamless integration also requires gasless transactions, which developers are reluctant to do due to the gas fees involved on general-purpose blockchains. **Our vision is to create the** ![](https://3591916589-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FllMdQqZ5JOzOnhKTRpYk%2Fuploads%2FyUQRBU2muIuenqQtu99W%2F20x20b.png?alt=media\&token=a74da584-a037-4601-b3c0-5dd78530cbb0) [**Plays Blockchain**](/plays-blockchain/technical-document)**, a gaming-optimized layer 3, a highly scalable, fully EVM-compatible chain with ultra-low gas fees using $PLAYS and $GEMS as its native currencies, and running on**![](https://3591916589-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FllMdQqZ5JOzOnhKTRpYk%2Fuploads%2FBaaGAaNq8ilMX2enLz6K%2Farbitrum.resized.png?alt=media\&token=5b1a5d8a-74d9-4055-abb3-cddb006bbd54)**Arbitrum in the**![](https://3591916589-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FllMdQqZ5JOzOnhKTRpYk%2Fuploads%2FLjE3N0Nd9ccQhIz60Aa1%2Fethereum.resized.png?alt=media\&token=ae28b70b-5a0c-4813-a67c-459b43a827c9) **Ethereum Ecosystem.** Built to seamlessly integrate with Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) wallets such as Metamask and Coinbase Wallet, the Plays Blockchain operates as a layer 3, leveraging Ethereum's robust infrastructure for security, and reliability. Central to its ecosystem are the native currencies $PLAYS and $GEMS, which serve their unique use-cases within the Plays Blockchain. **In addition to this, we separate blockchain transactions into two categories:** 1. **An asset transfer with monetary value, ERC-20, ERC-721, and ERC-1155 transfers.** 2. **General record-keeping blockchain transactions with no monetary value.** **The first category will live on Arbitrum itself, due to it's high TVL and security guarantees. While the second category will be offloaded to the Plays Blockchain.** Unlike many other blockchain networks where users have to pay gas fees to execute transactions or smart contracts, the Plays Blockchain removes this barrier by eliminating gas fees, as developers are incentivized to use gasless smart contracts exclusively. Developers can stake $PLAYS Tokens on Arbitrum (L2) and receive the necessary gas to cover their L3 costs. This makes transactions more accessible and cost-effective for users and developers, particularly for those requiring a lot of on-chain transactions. $GEMS is a decentralized stablecoin that acts as a unit of account to simplify purchases within games and protect users from price fluctuations. From the player's perspective using $GEMS is the same as using any in-game currency in a Web2 game. $GEMS can solely be created by Lootboxes or staking $PLAYS. $GEMS used for purchases is then burned to maintain a stable supply within the community and avoid inflation. *The Plays Blockchain offers a compelling combination of* staking-for*-gas, low-gas transactions, EVM compatibility, native currencies ($PLAYS and $GEMS), and the robust security of the Ethereum Network.* {% content-ref url="/pages/vFIZWoNUVGWzKWxxhMgf" %} [Buy $PLAYS](/tokenomics/buy-usdplays) {% endcontent-ref %} *** *** ## Ecosystem features * ๐ŸŽฎ **All about gaming:** All our projects revolve around gaming, whether it's playing games, trading on the marketplace, creating fun experiences, or infrastructure for games.

By staking, they receive gas fees to run their games in a blazing-fast blockchain thus making the player experience completely gas-free. *** ## Investors *We believe investors are just as important to the successful growth of our ecosystem. Investors can provide liquidity, earn staking rewards, fund developer grants, run nodes, and vote on proposals.* ๐Ÿ’ฐ **Liquidity Provider:** Having a healthy Liquidity Pool is essential for any project. Investors who provide liquidity on Decentralized Exchanges will be able to earn additional rewards in addition to the LP fees. ๐Ÿ“ˆ **Staking**: Players have the option to stake their $PLAYS tokens in the ecosystem. By staking, they can earn $GEMS emissions, which in turn can be used to make purchases in any games or services within the ecosystem or simply sold on the open market later. ๐Ÿ”ฅ **Token Burning**: To manage token supply and increase scarcity, a portion of transaction fees or ecosystem revenue may be allocated to token-burning mechanisms. Token burning reduces circulating supply over time, potentially increasing token value for holders. ๐Ÿฆ **Fund grants:** Investors can bootstrap projects on the Plays Blockchain by voting to grant funds to promising ecosystem developers. ๐Ÿ—ณ๏ธ **Voting/Governance:** The PlayersNFT collection will act as the voting layer for the ecosystem.

# Token Burns Burn baby Burn We are implementing various mechanisms to burn tokens strategically, thereby reducing the overall token supply and enhancing scarcity. Token burning will occur through several channels, including a percentage of the real revenue generated, platform usage fees, NFT sales, and community-driven initiatives. Additionally, a portion of tokens allocated to reserves may be periodically burned. {% hint style="info" %} We plan to implement token burning as buybacks, where a portion of project revenue will be allocated to repurchasing and subsequently burning tokens from the market. {% endhint %} *By implementing a multifaceted approach to token burning, we strive to create a deflationary ecosystem that rewards long-term token holders, enhances scarcity, and contributes to sustainable value appreciation over time.* # $GEMS {% hint style="info" %} $GEMS is a secondary currency within the Plays Ecosystem pegged to the US Dollar. In addition to $PLAYS, players will be able to use $GEMS to make purchases in our games, and websites or make trades on the Plays Marketplace. {% endhint %} {% hint style="info" %} $GEMS is an easy-to-understand concept for Web2 players. It can be purchased with Credit and Debit cards and is always accepted 1:1 to the US Dollar. {% endhint %} Game developers might not want to use a volatile token as either the purchaser currency of in-game assets or as play-to-earn rewards as it can make it difficult to accurately price products. The creation of $GEMS within the Plays Ecosystem is to mitigate the risks associated with this volatility, which is a common concern for game developers and players alike. Let's explore why this approach is beneficial and how it functions within the Plays Gaming Ecosystem. ## Stability in an Unpredictable Market Cryptocurrencies are known for their rapid price fluctuations, which can be a double-edged sword. On one hand, the potential for high returns on investment is attractive; on the other, the unpredictability makes financial planning challenging. For game developers, especially, those who need to budget for ongoing projects, salaries, and other expenses, volatility can pose a significant risk. Using a volatile token for transactions or as rewards in play-to-earn models can complicate revenue forecasts and financial stability. It can also be challenging for Web2 Players to purchase microtransactions, NFTs, and in-game assets with a fluctuating cryptocurrency as they need to continuously monitor price changes. ## GEMS: A Stable Solution $GEMS addresses these challenges by offering a stablecoin solution pegged to the US Dollar. This pegging means that 1 GEM is always equivalent to 1 USD, providing a predictable and stable value. For developers within the Plays Ecosystem, this stability offers several advantages: * **Predictable Revenue Streams**: Developers can better forecast their earnings from in-game purchases, as the value of $GEMS does not fluctuate wildly like other cryptocurrencies. * **Attracting a Wider Audience**: Players who might be hesitant to engage with volatile cryptocurrencies are more likely to participate in a gaming economy powered by a stablecoin. This inclusivity can lead to a larger player base and, consequently, higher revenues. * **Reduced Risk**: Both players and developers are shielded from the market volatility that affects other cryptocurrencies. This reduces the financial risk associated with participating in the Plays Ecosystem. * **No added complexity:** Traditional Web2 players don't have to interact with the blockchain themselves in the games to use $GEMS. ## Implementation in the Plays Ecosystem Implementing $GEMS within the Plays Ecosystem involves integrating it into our various products. * **In-Game Transactions**: Players can use $GEMS to purchase in-game assets, such as skins, weapons, or any digital goods offered by the game. This provides a straightforward transaction process without the need for constant price adjustments due to fluctuating market values. * **Play-to-Earn Rewards**: Rewards granted in $GEMS offer real-world value that is easy to understand and use, making the play-to-earn model more appealing and accessible. * **Cross-Game Economy**: $GEMS can facilitate a cross-game economy within the Plays Ecosystem, where assets and currencies can be traded or used across different games. * **Stable Value:** $GEMS is always accepted 1:1 to the USD for all products and services within the ecosystem. * **$GEMS is an ERC20 token:** Despite all of the above $GEMS is still a cryptocurrency that can be integrated into Web3 games. ## $GEMS Supply Dynamics $GEMS can only be created through buying lootboxes and locking $PLAYS in the $GEMS emission staking contract. This effectively keeps emissions stable and puts $GEMS directly into the hands of the community. There is no other way for $GEMS to enter the market. On the other hand, $GEMS collected through our products, services, and $GEM fees collected through our marketplace are burned. This circular mechanism will always keep the circulating $GEMS at the ideal amount, that meets user demand without oversaturating the market and thus depegging it from the USD Dollar. There are several ways you can get $GEMS: 1. Stake $PLAYS in the $GEMS emission staking contract. For more information about staking [head to the staking page](/tokenomics/staking-soon). 2. Buy lootboxes as one of the rewards are $GEMS. 3. Buy $GEMS directly in Plays Ecosystem games and websites via Debit/Credit card. 4. ~~Buy $GEMS on the open market through a DEX such as Uniswap. (In the future!)~~ # Emissions GEMS emissions can be modeled by aggregating the currently active staking contracts at the GEMS[ emissions staking page](https://www.playstoken.com/staking). # Release Schedule $GEMS will be released in stages to make sure it stays pegged to the US Dollar. 1. First, $GEMS will only be available through the PlaysRare Website and through Staking $PLAYS. You may deposit your GEMS to make purchases or trade on the PlaysRare Marketplace. 2. In the second stage, a DEX pool will be started for GEMS/USDT and GEMS/PLAYS on Uniswap. 3. In the third stage, GEM withdrawals will be enabled on the PlaysRare website. # Staking (Soon) {% hint style="info" %} By staking $PLAYS you can earn $GEMS rewards, that is the official stablecoin of the Plays Ecosystem. {% endhint %} Investors can stake their tokens for various time periods to earn rewards. Here's how this process typically works: {% hint style="warning" %} **Risk Considerations**: Investors should carefully consider the risks associated with staking, including potential token price fluctuations, smart contract vulnerabilities, and lock-up periods. Conducting thorough research and understanding the terms and conditions of the staking mechanism is crucial before participating. {% endhint %} ## **Lock-Up Periods** **There are no lock-up periods when staking $PLAYS.** All staking contracts are liquid and you can withdraw your funds at any time! ## Staking Pools The Nominal APY represents how many $GEMS are generated per year for each staked $PLAYS token. Do note that this doesn't factor in USD changes in either token. | Pool Name | Nominal APY | Variable APY | | -------------------------- | ----------- | --------------------- | | **Plays Standard Pool** | 0.5% | Based on $Plays Price | | **Plays Accelerated Pool** | 0.5% | Based on $Plays Price | | **Plays Launch Pool** | 0.5% | Based on $Plays Price | ## **Staking Matrix** This table demonstrates how the Variable APY changes based on Plays Token price changes.
Plays Price ($)Plays Marketcap ($)Nominal APY (%)Variable APY (%)GEMS Emissions / $1000 Staked / Year

## **Reward Calculator** To calculate the amount of $GEMS you can earn via staking or the current Effective APY please refer to the [Plays Staking Calculator](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1PLwXmlNdwdGp8h9coDWhuBx9-O4Aw26-4Gj2k9Rg6zI/edit?usp=sharing). ## **Staking Contract Modeling** Each staking pool has a Base APY and a Variable APY. The Base APY depends on the available $GEMS rewards within the staking contract. The Variable APY depends on the market price of the $PLAYS Token. The lower the price the higher the potential APY, and vice-versa, as the $PLAYS price increases the APY reduces. The overall $GEMS emission is not affected by the change in the $PLAYS price, which ensures there is always enough $GEMS in the ecosystem. **Model 1: The Effective APY depends on the Plays Token Price. The higher the Plays token price the lower the APY.**
**Model 2: There is no correlation between the Effective APY and Base APY.**
**Model 3: The amount of Gems generated based on Plays staked is linear..**
**Model 4: The amount of Gems generated is not correlated to the Plays price.**

We hope this innovative approach will reshape the landscape of digital assets within Web3 gaming. By ensuring that most Web3 assets are cross-game and ecosystem-wide, PlaysRare is fostering an interconnected gaming experience for its users. **Cross-Game Interoperability** A key function of the assets is to be utilized across multiple games within the ecosystem. This means that a Token or NFT acquired in one game can be used in another, enhancing its value and utility. This cross-game interoperability breaks down traditional barriers, where assets are confined to single-game environments, and instead promotes a more fluid gaming experience. **Ecosystem-Wide Utility** PlaysRareโ€™s assets are designed to offer ecosystem-wide utility. This ensures that Tokens, NFTs, and Avatars have persistent value and functionality across all current and future games within the PlaysRare ecosystem. Players can buy assets with confidence, knowing they will retain their worth and relevance, regardless of the specific game they are engaged with at any given time. **Future-Proofing Digital Assets** By creating assets that are not limited to specific games, PlaysRare is future-proofing its digital assets. As new games are developed and introduced into the PlaysRare ecosystem, existing assets retain their usability and value. This forward-thinking approach ensures that the investment players make in their digital assets and the time they spend in our games are protected over the long term, fostering greater engagement within the community. **Enhanced Player Experience** The interoperability and ecosystem-wide utility of assets significantly enhance the player experience. Players can enjoy a sense of continuity and progression across different games. For example, a reward earned in one game could be used in another game. Or an NFT could share progression across multiple different games. This interconnected approach not only enriches gameplay but also creates a more engaging ecosystem. ## Playsrare Heroes NFTs PlaysRare Heroes NFTs are digital assets designed as in-game characters within the PlaysRare Web3 Gaming ecosystem. Each Hero is meticulously crafted with distinctive looks. As the PlaysRare ecosystem expands, new Heroes will continue to be introduced. You will be able to play these characters in our games. Depending on the game, you will be able to level them up, equip them with items, or even burn the NFT itself if you die in select circumstances. The characters will be included in every game; their statistics, traits, and roles might differ from game to game. **Each character has a total supply of 1000 and it is further broken down into 6 rarities: Common, ****Uncommon****, ****Rare****, ****Epic****, ****Legendary****, and ****Unique****.** * **Total: 1000 (100%)** * **Common: 400 (40%)** * **Uncommon: 300 (30%)** * **Rare: 150 (15%)** * **Epic: 100 (10%)** * **Legendary: 40 (4%)** * **Unique: 10 (1%)**

*If you open a Lootbox, you get 3 different rewards with an average total value of $7.75.* ## Lootbox Design Document Lootboxes in Web3 offer an excellent method for distributing value, especially in ecosystems that operate with multiple assets simultaneously. Unlike traditional Web2 gaming, Web3 allows users to resell lootbox rewards if they're unhappy with the outcome, solving one of the major issues associated with lootboxes in the Web2 gaming space. In Web3 lootboxes, there's a clear trade-off between the lootbox price and the gas fees required to open them. If the price is set too low, users may need to open multiple lootboxes at once, increasing the overall gas costs. On the other hand, setting the price too high could deter users from purchasing them. Striking the right balanceโ€”where the price is both gas-efficient and affordableโ€”enables users to maximize the benefits of Web3 lootboxes. **To address this, we decided to include three rewards in each lootbox.** Estimating the value of a Web3 lootbox is challenging since each asset has its own market price, and those prices can fluctuate rapidly. To address this, we based our lootbox value calculations on certain [assumptions about the short-term price performance of the ecosystem's assets](#average-rewards). While these prices can change at any moment, they provide a baseline for determining lootbox value. **We then applied a discount of approximately 50% to this baseline to establish a reasonable pricing model for the lootboxes.** ## Possible Reward Combinations **Currency Drop = 20/40/60/100/200/2000 PLAYS or 1/2/3/5/10/100 GEMS** **Hero Drop = 1 Hero NFT** **Spellbook Drop = 1 Spellbook NFT** | Reward 1 | Reward 2 | Reward 3 | | -------------- | -------------- | -------------- | | Currency Drop | Currency Drop | Currency Drop | | Hero Drop | Currency Drop | Currency Drop | | Hero Drop | Hero Drop | Currency Drop | | Hero Drop | Hero Drop | Hero Drop | | Spellbook Drop | Hero Drop | Hero Drop | | Spellbook Drop | Spellbook Drop | Hero Drop | | Spellbook Drop | Spellbook Drop | Spellbook Drop | | Currency Drop | Spellbook Drop | Spellbook Drop | | Currency Drop | Currency Drop | Spellbook Drop | ## Math for Nerds

# Overview The Plays Launchpad stands out from conventional launchpads due to its unique model. Unlike typical launchpads, individual projects or games don't mint their own token; instead, they are mandated to incorporate the $PLAYS and $GEMS Token as their primary utility token. This integration fosters a cohesive ecosystem and ensures the **value created by the launched project stays with Plays Token holders.** Moreover, the funding process for projects is notably efficient. Upon acceptance by the Players NFT community voters, projects receive full funding instantaneously from the Plays Rewards Vault. This approach eliminates the lengthy waiting periods often associated with securing project funding, empowering creators to focus on their development endeavors without financial constraints. *** ## Stakeholders Investors do not need to fund the projects themselves, simply by being a stakeholder in the Plays Token, **investors can expect the full upside of each successfully launched project**. Investors benefit from a unique advantage within the Plays ecosystem, as they are spared the need to undertake risks associated with individual projects. This is attributed to the utilization of the Plays Token across all projects, which effectively diversifies risks. By leveraging the Plays Token as the common utility token, investors gain diversified exposure to the entire spectrum of projects without having to bear the burden of the uncertainties of a single project. Furthermore, investors do not need to closely monitor and manually fund projects, thanks to the active participation of the community in the voting process. This collective engagement ensures that projects are rigorously assessed and funded based on their merit, sparing investors the time and effort involved in individual project evaluation. **Holding or staking $PLAYS tokens provides investors with a passive avenue to capitalize on the potential upside of all projects within the ecosystem.** This passive investment approach offers a seamless means for investors to align with the growth trajectory of the Plays ecosystem, while simultaneously mitigating risks and maximizing opportunities across the diverse range of projects supported by the community. *** ## Developers Developers and project owners also benefit from this approach as they gain access to a valuable token that can be integrated into their games and disbursed as play-to-earn rewards. The token has four functions for a funded project: 1. ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ’ป **To cover Development costs** 2. ๐Ÿช™ **To act as the native currency for the game** 3. ๐Ÿค‘ **To be the Play-to-Earn reward (if any)** 4. ๐Ÿ’ธ **To allow staking within the game** Developers would also join an already existing community with a wide gamer user base. Their game would immediately gain users which is especially important for multiplayer games. This integration not only expands their audience reach but also provides development support, invaluable insights, and feedback from a dedicated developer base. # Voting {% hint style="info" %} The primary voting mechanism to accept or reject projects submitted to the launchpad is the [Players NFT](/tokenomics/usdplays/distribution) collection. Each NFT grants one vote, even if you hold multiple NFTs. {% endhint %} The mechanism utilized for voting on whether to accept or reject projects submitted to the launchpad is the [Players NFT collection](/governance/distribution). These [non-fungible tokens](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-fungible_token) (NFTs) serve as digital badges of participation and ownership within the gaming ecosystem. Each Player NFT represents a unique identity and holds weight in the decision-making process regarding project selection. Voting takes place exclusively on the [Snapshot](https://snapshot.org/) platform. Through the Players NFT collection, stakeholders, including gamers, investors, developers, and project owners, actively engage in the governance of the launchpad. Holding a Players NFT grants its owner the right to participate in voting procedures, thereby democratizing the selection process and ensuring **community-driven decision-making**. By possessing these tokens, individuals become stakeholders with a vested interest in the success and direction of the launchpad. This ownership mentality encourages active participation, collaboration, project research, and the cultivation of a vibrant community ethos. Moreover, the Players NFT collection serves as a testament to the collective expertise and preferences of the Plays gaming community. Each vote cast by NFT holders reflects their informed judgment and assessment of project proposals, contributing to the overall integrity and quality of the launchpad's portfolio. *The Players NFT collection not only functions as a governance tool but also harnesses the* [*wisdom of the crowd*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wisdom_of_the_crowd) *to make financially beneficial decisions for the whole ecosystem.* # Process {% hint style="info" %} Ecosystem projects are Dapps or Games submitted at the PlaysChain website to get funding. Developers can register and go through the approval process, request funding, stake $PLAYS Tokens, and manage their projects, all from a single dashboard. {% endhint %} ## 1. Developer Grants ๐Ÿค‘ Developer grants within the Plays Ecosystem serve as catalysts for innovation and growth on the Plays Blockchain. These grants provide financial support and resources to talented developers seeking to create gaming projects within the ecosystem. By offering grants, the ecosystem encourages experimentation, creativity, and the development of diverse gaming experiences on the Plays Blockchain.

Skilled community developers collaborate to integrate blockchain features such as decentralized asset ownership, provably fair gameplay, NFTs, and transparent transaction systems. By embracing blockchain development methodologies and standards, the ecosystem aims to deliver immersive gaming experiences that leverage the unique benefits of decentralized networks. ## 3. Deploy on Plays Blockchain ๐Ÿšข The deployment process includes rigorous testing and optimization to ensure seamless integration with the Plays Blockchain infrastructure. These smart contracts are then deployed onto the Plays Blockchain network, leveraging its consensus mechanism and distributed ledger technology to ensure immutability and security. Additionally, developers integrate blockchain wallets and interfaces within the gaming environment to enable seamless interaction with the blockchain network. # Technical Document {% hint style="warning" %} The Plays Blockchain is under development! {% endhint %} | Name | Ecosystem | Gas fees | TPS/s | | ---------------- | ------------ | --------- | ------- | | Plays Blockchain | Arbitrum One | In $PLAYS | 180000+ | **The** ![](https://3591916589-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FllMdQqZ5JOzOnhKTRpYk%2Fuploads%2FyUQRBU2muIuenqQtu99W%2F20x20b.png?alt=media\&token=a74da584-a037-4601-b3c0-5dd78530cbb0) **Plays Blockchain is a permissionless** ![](https://3591916589-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FllMdQqZ5JOzOnhKTRpYk%2Fuploads%2FVlS5VnQFs4nqmbKGimPS%2Farbitrum.resized.png?alt=media\&token=577c0286-a276-4b07-8f57-7f7e0ddfc9e0)**Arbitrum Layer 2 and** ![](https://3591916589-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FllMdQqZ5JOzOnhKTRpYk%2Fuploads%2FLjE3N0Nd9ccQhIz60Aa1%2Fethereum.resized.png?alt=media\&token=ae28b70b-5a0c-4813-a67c-459b43a827c9) **Ethereum Layer 3 with ultra-low gas fees.** Offering unparalleled benefits tailored specifically for Web3 gaming enthusiasts and developers. Designed for seamless integration with Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) wallets like Metamask and Coinbase Wallet, the Plays Blockchain operates atop the Arbitrum network, leveraging its robust infrastructure to bolster performance and reliability. **We have chosen Arbitrum as the Layer 2 settlement layer due to its excellent security and high TVL. Currently, Arbitrum sits with the highest TVL among all Ethereum Layer 2s.** The Plays Blockchain rolls up all of its transactions to Arbitrum, which in turn rolls up all transactions to Ethereum. In other words, Arbitrum is the primary settlement layer and Ethereum is the secondary settlement layer. This approach allows the Plays Blockchain to inherit all the security benefits of Ethereum while achieving 10000 times lower fees!

Plays BlockchainArbitrum Ethereum
At the core of the Plays ecosystem lies the native currency $PLAYS, which acts as the native gas token of the Plays Blockchain, the utility token for all our games and Dapps, incentivizes developers, and functions as a primary unit of value within the network. Furthermore, the Plays Blockchain is designed to support a wide range of applications, from Digital Marketplaces, and Web3 games to innovative decentralized platforms. Its flexible infrastructure accommodates diverse gaming experiences, empowering developers to unleash their creativity and bring captivating gaming worlds to life. One of the most distinctive features of the Plays Blockchain is its stake-for-gas structure for on-chain transactions. Developers are able to stake $PLAYS Tokens on Arbitrum One and receive gas on the Plays Blockchain to pay for their gassless smart contracts. This approach eliminates traditional gas fees for developers and their users, which presents a real issue for game development. Ensuring that both players and developers can engage in gaming activities without the burden of costs and complexity. Due to its permissionless nature, all transactions require gas to send transactions or deploy smart contracts. Unlike permissioned no-gas blockchains, we are benefiting from the network effects of a permissionless blockchain while still avoiding potential spam and having gasless Dapps on the chain. This streamlined approach not only fortifies the integrity of the network but also optimizes its operational efficiency. ## Features ![](https://3591916589-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FllMdQqZ5JOzOnhKTRpYk%2Fuploads%2FLjE3N0Nd9ccQhIz60Aa1%2Fethereum.resized.png?alt=media\&token=ae28b70b-5a0c-4813-a67c-459b43a827c9) **Ethereum Ecosystem:** The Plays Blockchain is part of the Ethereum multi-chain ecosystem. This means assets can freely move between the Plays Blockchain, Arbitrum, Ethereum, and all other layers. ๐Ÿ“‰ **Ultra-low Fees:** Fees are set to the absolute minimum and are only used to deter spam transactions on the blockchain. You can expect 100-fold lower fees than Arbitrum and 10000 times lower fees than Ethereum Mainnet. ๐Ÿ” **Best in class Security:** The Plays Blockchain inherits its security from Ethereum itself, which is the most secure smart contract platform in existence. ๐Ÿ’ฐ **Stake to Pay Gas:** Users/Developers can stake $PLAYS on Arbitrum in order to receive Gas tokens on the Plays Blockchain, essentially reducing the payable gas fees to zero for their Dapps and all their players. ๐Ÿ›ธ **Asset Bridging:** Bridge your assets freely to and from the Plays Blockchain using the built-in permissionless Bridge system. โœˆ๏ธ **Block Explorer:** Browse and interact with the data stored on the Plays Blockchain. View information about blocks, transactions, addresses, and other relevant data related to the network. ๐Ÿ”Ž **Transaction Tracer:** Trace the flow of funds from one address to another, such as transaction amount, sender and receiver addresses, transaction status, and timestamps. โœ… **High Availability**: The Plays Blockchain will remain operational and accessible for extended periods without interruption due to its redundancy, fault tolerance, and quick recovery mechanisms to minimize downtime. โซ **Auto Scaling:** The Plays Blockchain automatically adjusts the number of compute resources to match the workload demand in real-time. It ensures optimal performance and cost efficiency by scaling resources up during periods of high demand and down during periods of low demand. # L3 Mainnet (Plays) The mainnet launch is scheduled after the Testnet. # L3 Testnet (Plays) Testnet is scheduled to launch Q3 2024. # Games Design {% hint style="info" %} We primarily target the Mobile and Browser gaming markets in a well-established eastern Anime-like style similar to 'Genshin Impact'. {% endhint %} ### Target Platforms **Mobile and browser games offer unparalleled accessibility**, allowing players to enjoy gaming anytime and anywhere. With the widespread use of smartphones and easy access to browsers through tablets and Chromebooks, we tap into a vast potential user base, especially in the Far East. Our games are designed to be lightweight, ensuring quick downloads and smooth performance across a range of devices, from high-end smartphones to more low-end configurations.

PWAs combine the best of web and mobile applications, providing users with a seamless gap between traditional apps and web-based gaming. ### Regional Product Fit **Creating Web3 games that fit both Asian and Western markets** requires a deep understanding of regional gaming preferences and blockchain adoption trends. In Asia, mobile gaming dominates, with players valuing competitive, fast-paced games and strong community features, while in the West, immersive storytelling and polished gameplay are more critical. Web3 elements, such as NFTs and decentralized economies, should be tailored to each marketโ€”Asians may be more open to integrating in-game assets with esports and digital collectibles, while Western audiences may focus more on the potential for asset ownership and the transparency of blockchain. Localization is vital, from character design and game mechanics to language and cultural references. Cross-market incentives like play-to-earn models must be balanced with engaging gameplay, ensuring the game is fun, not just financially rewarding. To succeed, the game should leverage Web3โ€™s global appeal while embedding features that resonate regionally, fostering a game experience that transcends cultural differences but feels locally relevant. ### Monetization Strategies **Focusing on mobile and browser platforms** allows us to implement *optional* monetization strategies that cater to different player preferences. From in-app $GEMS purchases and subscription models to ad-supported free-to-play options, we ensure that our monetization methods are player-friendly. Taking cues from 'Genshin Impact', and other similar games, we emphasize a strong in-game economy based on rarities and the integration of Gacha mechanics. ### Visual Aesthetics Our games are characterized by their **anime-inspired art style**, featuring meticulously crafted characters and environments by using the latest generative AI technologies. This cutting-edge approach allows us to produce highly detailed and visually stunning graphics, enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal. By leveraging AI, we ensure that our game worlds are not only beautiful but also uniquely randomized. # Games Acquisition {% hint style="info" %} *The Plays Ecosystem is not just a platform; it's a new business model where innovation converges with gaming, where collaboration flourishes, and where opportunities abound for gamers, developers, and investors.* {% endhint %} Our objective extends beyond being a mere infrastructure provider. Our mission is the promise of a rewarding and enjoyable gaming experience for all participants, players, developers, and investors. We recognize the importance of real revenue generation in sustaining and enhancing the platform's ecosystem. By prioritizing revenue streams and exploring avenues for sustainable growth, we aim to create lasting value not only for our platform but also for $PLAYS token holders who are integral stakeholders in our journey. **To do so we intend to source games 3 ways:** 1. **In-house game development** 2. **Hosting Game Development Jams with rewards** 3. **Converting Web2 games** ## **1. In-house game development** We are committed to building our own games according to the roadmap we laid out irrespective of market cycles, prices, or blockchain trends. Our games will create a minimum viable library of games that in turn will incentivize community-led games to be funded and developed as well. To avoid developing vaporware we seek to reduce wasting time, and resources to the absolute minimum. ### A. Incubation๐Ÿ’ก Beginning with comprehensive market analysis, the team can identify lucrative niches and emerging trends in the gaming sector. By prototyping games, the team can refine ideas and ensure alignment with player preferences. Finally, integrating monetization strategies and prioritizing community engagement can establish sustainable revenue streams while cultivating a loyal player base. ### B.

Hosting Game Development Jams with rewards** Hosting Web3 game development jams can be an exciting and innovative way to foster creativity, promote blockchain technology, and engage the developer community. Such events serve multiple purposes, from encouraging developers to explore and implement blockchain technologies in gaming to building a vibrant community around Web3 concepts. The primary objective of these game jams is to promote the use of the Playsrare Gaming Hub and Plays Blockchain in game development. By providing a platform for developers to experiment with these technologies, game jams can help push the boundaries of what is possible in gaming. Participants are encouraged to create unique and innovative games that incorporate the $PLAYS and $GEMS tokens, and the various Web3 assets found on PlaysRare. By setting a specific theme related to Web3, we can inspire participants to think outside the box and come up with groundbreaking ideas. The competitive environment of a development jam encourages developers to push their creative limits and develop games that offer new experiences and interactions not seen yet. Rewards can range from cryptocurrency to NFTs and exclusive opportunities like showcasing their game on the PlaysRare platform. **Games deemed to be production ready will be added as a mainstay in the PlaysRare library of games.** ## **3. Converting Web2 games** In some cases, Web2 games just fail to find their community. By providing the funding, platform, know-how, and community we can breathe new life into these games by converting Web2 games to Web3 games. By incorporating blockchain, developers can enable true ownership of in-game items through NFTs and make sure to eliminate trapped value. Not all niches resonate well with the ethos of Web3 gaming and therefore it is important to choose games that benefit a lot from the value-add of blockchain technology. **Applications to Web3 conversions are evaluated through the launchpad voting process as well.** # L2 Testnet (Sepolia) ## L2 Testnet: Arbitrum Sepolia **Public RPC:** **ETH Faucet 1:** **ETH Faucet 2:** **$PLAYS Contract Address:** `0xc9050483dFe10d3112FE81a716864d6b2907Dc16` **$GEMS Contract Address:** `0xf3D534cCB08b5b66Bf1680A2Fb95280d0a7C213d` **Faucet Contract Address (Soon):** **Staking Contract Address:** `0xa0730c262C5dc104B7D15aa511956026F532AD70` **NFT Contract Address:** `0x3E97370F073BA27CB040BC6aB980914019D6fC06` **Edition Characters Contract Address:** `0x97FfAec4CF99182852e584E45672299575027339` **Edition Spell Books Contract Address:** `0xBc09C35765D479b70032086b8770931655634A78` # DAO Governance DAO Governance is the decentralized management of resources, decision-making processes, and protocol changes through the collective participation of stakeholders within a community. Crypto tokens, which are unique digital assets representing ownership or proof of authenticity, have emerged as powerful tools for facilitating governance mechanisms within DAOs.
