1/x The Evolution of #Guilds
A thread on how #P2E Gaming #Guilds are transitioning. With the development of #GameFi 2.0 and growing base of gamers, guilds have to balance between incentives, sustainable growth of player base and building community (providing entertainment value)
2/x Market Capacity of #Guilds
Guilds differentiate through few categories: 1) Manpower Management & Recruitment 2) Venture Capital & Incubation 3) Tooling (ERP, CRM, #SaaS platform) 4) Identity (Gamification of performance, scholarship analytics & efficiency, #DeFi passport)
3/x Manpower
Guilds earn facilitation fees from #AxieScholars & managers earnings and allocate them efficiently. Toolings will help with scaling and guilds can further optimise in-game trading/leasing of #NFT with their #P2E game economy expertise
4/x Manpower @PerionDAO has proprietary API (non-public) and smart contracts to automate all of their breeding, with systems that automatically tracks and targets the most profitable #Axie, enhancing their #AxieScholars aiming to be the most competitive gaming #guilds
5/x Venture Capitalists #Guilds are in an advantageous position for investing & advising new #GameFi projects with a player base, community outreach and expertise. Hence #guilds are able to outgrow their treasury over time. As explained by @DeFiVader defivader.medium.com/the-era-of-gui…
6/x Venture Capitalists
An example would be @GuildFiGlobal, where they have segregated their treasury into 1) Development, 2) Growth, and 3) Venture. Being backed by strong investors, #Guildfi would have the financial might, deal flow and technical know-how
7/x Toolings @YieldGuild seeks to build more relationships, such as fintech integration, on/off-ramp fiat, and payment solutions for their users to directly use tokens to pay for bills such as phone bills.
8/x Toolings - Payment Enforceability
Since scholar-manager matchmaking are done offchain, payments are not securely enforced, leading to possible defaults. @GuildFiGlobal solution is to automate an off-onchain claiming process whereby scholars initiate claims & manager approves
9/x Toolings - Payment Enforceability
As for @0xAdventure solution 1.0, asset owners deposit their assets into an address escrowed by 0xAdventure. Asset owners can then assign scholar managers who will manage/play the game, and disburse earnings to the scholar managers in time
10/x Toolings - #SaaS platform
When onchain toolings via smart contracts are available, they could formalise the model by streamlining human resources together and turning it into a #SaaS platform. @YieldGuild is looking to include new ERC standard for conditional NFT usage
11/x Toolings - SaaS platform @0xAdventure will be building a wallet system which could be adopted by others. Hence #guilds are able to track their resources onchain. They will be looking to gamify the experience, which brings us to the next point
12/x Identity
Identity is a core component for such #Socialfi projects, enticing user growth (eg Gamification). With key infrastructure as an enabler, the community is still the key. Guilds are in a prime position to also naturally evolve into #Socialfi projects.
13/x Identity @GuildFi have daily quest for achieving milestones, while @0xAdventure create an avatar system, integrating in games and award #NFT that can be equipped. @YieldGuild have their own specific #NFT (founders coin, token gates, #YGG sword) for special privileges
14/x Identity
After developing a performance scoring system, integrated with on-chain wallet capabilities, DeFi features such as “Unsecured #DeFi Lending”, “ #NFT mortgages” can be extended to scholars who have shown a stable and good performance rating.
1/x DAOs' landscape & treasury management
An overview of DAO's landscape and treasury management. Will also touch on a few sector of DAOs and examples of it
2/x Introduction of DAOs
From the humble band of brothers (in a trio/triad) to tribes, to clan-associations and old guilds of the East and West, these groups benefit from having members who are diverse in their information sources, talents and experience.
3/x What are DAOs?
Decentralised Autonomous Organizations, in the ideal sense, is a community-led cooperative with no central authority. It is fully transparent; proposals are to be decided via governance tokens, embedded into smart contracts, executing the consensus' decisions.
2/x Decimated developed since 2018 and is an award-winning game 🔥:
- 3rd place out of 90 (Nakamotos Den 2019)
- Best Game Award (CGC Games Conference 2019)
- Shortlisted (Big Indie Pitch 2021)
- Finalist (GDBay Global Games Pitch 2021)
- Epic MegaGrant from #UnrealEngine
3/x We really liked the beautiful graphics, content-rich and action-packed gameplay.
💪Strong social engagement is a core to our gamefi thesis.
Decimated uses #SpatialOS in #UnrealEngine 4 to achieve hundreds of players in a server. ( Improve interaction between more players )
1/x Future of Gamefi 🧵
A thread on the future of gamefi, bootstrapping growth and maintaining its player base and ecosystem (sustainability). Will also touch on possible gamefi plays with a few examples
2/x Blockchain Synergy with Games
Games create community and content whereas blockchain gives players direct ownership of their assets, easing the transfer and conversion of assets to digital money. Trade-offs exist in games: target audience, accessibility, platforms, etc.
